The question of whether war is
inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world's great writers.
Before considering this question, it will be useful to introduce some
related concepts. Conflict, defined as opposition among social entities (实体)
directed against one another, is distinguished from competition, defined
as opposition among social entities independently striving for something which
is in inadequate supply. Competitors may not be aware of one another, while the
parties to a conflict are. Conflict and competition are both categories of
opposition, which has been defined as a process by which soical entities
function in the disservice of one another. Opposition is thus contrasted with
cooperation, the process by which social entities function in the disservice of
one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to
emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a
world of limited resources, but conflict is not. Conflict, nevertheless, is very
likely to occur, and is probably an essential and desirable element of human
societies. Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war
from the premise that in the struggle for existence among animal species, only
the fittest survive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is
competition, not conflict. Social animals, such as monkeys and cattle, fight to
win or maintain leadership of the group. The struggle for existence occurs not
in such fights, but in the competition for limited feeding areas and for the
occupancy of areas free from meat eating animals. Those who fail in this
competition starve to death or become victims to other species. This struggle
for existence does not resemble human war, but rather the competition of
individuals for jobs, markets, and materials. The essence of the struggle is the
competition for the necessities of life that are insufficient to satisfy
all. Among nations there is competition in developing resources,
trades, skills, and a satisfactory way of life. The successful
nations grow and prosper, the unsuccessful decline. While it is true that this
competition may include efforts to expand territory at the expense of others,
and thus lead to conflict, it cannot be said that, war-like conflict among
nations is inevitable, although competition is.

单选题Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to postpone marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy rebounds, the number of marriages also rises. Coincident with the increase in women working outside the home is the increase in divorce rates. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife"s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible. Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. Given high unemployment, inflationary problems, and slow growth in real earnings, a working wife can increase household income and relieve some of these pressing financial burdens. By raising a family"s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family"s financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union. Also, a major part of women"s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. With higher earning capacity and status occupations outside of the home comes the capacity to exercise power within the family. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.
