Why War?

About movie

Sigmund Freud's  to Albert Einstein's intricate questions about war and man's violent human nature are very complex and sophisticated. Freud begins by strongly substituting the term "might" with "violence." He than briefly discusses man's aggressive human nature, making an analogy to the animal kingdom to convey man's reasons for going to war. Freud states that group force was used in small communities to decide points of ownership, then came physical force, and now the weapon's have arrived. (Freud, 20) Freud, unlike Einstein, tends to look more to the past for answers, while Einstein has a tendency to stay in the present while contemplating the future.
