Is tolerance for war decreasing with each generation?

Yes, I think that our tolerance for war is decreasing with each generation. But it is impossible to completely eliminate war because the government always will have the upper hand and the bigger ammunition to take out who they feel like, although they are more people that stand up against war.

Despite the fact that war only brings death and suffering, I don't see it ever being eliminated.
In my opinion, war has become such a usual part of news nowadays that we've become desensitized to it. And so people have become more tolerant to it because it has become such a norm.

Yes, our tolerance for war has greatly decreased. War was not known for good things. where there is war, there can never be progress and joy. The new generation believes in progress and joy so there must be Zero tolerance for war for progress to have its way.I also believe that if we continue to work in line with peace and unity, war will be eliminated someday.

Rather than tolerance, I would say it's more about a shift in perspective. After countless of wars throughout generations and how it's impacted the society, especially innocent people who usually have to be the government's pawn and sacrifice, I believe people must have realized that most of the time, wars only create more destruction, and that there are better ways to resolve political issues than wars, hence the protest. I want to believe that war can be eliminated someday.

Tolerance is decreasing in the population, however, it only takes a leader with a bad conviction to start one. The most likely is that in the future other wars will arise.

Yes I think it is.
In Vietnam today, wars and rumors of war has reduced unlike generations ago.

I don't think that war would be eliminated someday. Media has a great effect on people, so if governments are launching a war against another country, they would then try to support their point of view through different media channels, so they would get the support of their people. Perhaps this effect gets eliminated by time so it doesn't affect later generations who did not live during that era.

Absolutely not. War is a part of evolution, and growth. Without destruction, nothing will grow. But I do think tolerance of war is decreasing, but that doesn't mean war is ever going to stop. Because the end of one war is the beginning of another.

I think several negative things that spring from ignorance are decreasing because we're becoming more enlightened with the internet. For example, I know I wouldn't make some mistakes as my parents because I've seen parents who actually understand their children are actually growing and haven't fully mastered their emotions. I believe more people are choosing love and empathy. However, we could say some are actually becoming more narcissistic and are suffering from addiction and unhealthy choices, with many distractions around. Thus, I can't really say people are becoming less tolerant or not because we see both more positive and negative changes among people in today's world.

I very much hope that war will be eliminated someday. But with the current situation around the world, the loudest way one can express their opinions is through war which I don't think is very effective.

I could agree with that notion. This is basically because there is now a proper attitude towards diplomacy. There are now several ways of resolution than a resource to war. There's more of war in the mind than in the physical in our generation.

Sadly, I think so. The younger the generations, the less interest they have in war. For video games it might seem the opposite, however, we are increasingly part of a sedentary society. With technology, more apathy is generated, more desire to impress and people make less effort to help others. That's why I think there will be a point with much more apathy. Only the countries that remain in conflict continue with their ideals of war, because that is part of their current reality.

Yes I think with each passing generation the tolerance of war reduces most especially due to the laws that have been made but I never believe war will be completely eliminated.

Tolerance is definitely decreasing, but look at the state of our world today. Nobody supports the war yet they are happening. Mutual interest between nations is something that would completely eradicate the war in my eyes. People should empathize with people and that's how we are going to move forward. I'm glad to be in a generation today that thinks likewise.

With the present situation of things, I think it's quite impossible to eliminate war completely. People are getting so obsessed with a lot of things lately. Such could include power, money, and fame. It is not possible to eliminate it completely.
