Document Summary
Has never been a complete absence of conflict between human groups. Warfare and violent conflict appear to be universal, though outbreaks of violence vary over time and place. Some groups ae more prone to violence than others, same with periods in time. Canadians seem to lack the desire for war. Go to war only when they are pushed into it through loyalty to allies like britain and the us. Military has rarely played an important role in the state decision making. Power in canada is shared among competing political, bureaucratic and economic elites unlikely to mobilize the will and the assets to wage war. Decentralize leadership is less likely to engage in warfare that centralized or especially, dictatorial leadership. Ideology: a system of beliefs that explains how society is, or should be: any system of ideas underlying and informing political action. In a marxist sense, the ideological ideas justify and legitimize subordination of one group to another.
