The character of the 21st century seems to already be war prone and chaotic. I expect that as time goes by its only going to grow more increasingly so. Every country seems to have something going on and as time goes by, somehow other countries are always more interlinked to other’s wars. The wars that America fight today seem to keep going on and on, without a chance of slowing down. Chaos is created because it seems to be one threat after another, and then more interfering of another country. People realize that things are not getting better, even though it has been promised for years, and to no avail things get worse. Wars will continue to be fought among countries for religious, political, power, or even just someone getting offended; because that’s the way it has either been won or lost throughout the years.

I expect that the character of the 21st century will be war-prone and chaotic; I firmly believe it will be both because you cannot have war without having chaos to start it. Ever since 2001 with the fall of the World Trade Center in America with wide scale terrorism attack it has been all about the war on terrorism. The definition of terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.(terrorism. N.d.)

Terrorist acts are no new thing for the world, and it will no longer only affect third world countries or come out of them. The whole point for anyone to commit these acts is to gain power by causing widespread fear and panic. Although the causes and acts committed may change it always come back to wanting to show they have the power to take it away. But even though the acts and countries may change it is always mainly centered on political or religious motives. The point of this is to cause fear, and within a country it makes it hard to trust anyone, and put people at unease. The 9/11 attacks themselves were done just because they did not like the fact that America interfered with their country and retaliated and took lives because of it. It causes chaos all in itself and when one person retaliates, in turn it turns into war because the countries will keep going back and forth at each other instead of trying to find a new way to work it out.

Another reason the 21st century will be war prone is because countries are trying to be more weapon focused. Today with the president of Iran having nuclear ambitions, could easily annihilate Israel. Israel has alliance with America and
