Interesting Psych article from 2003

I certainly did not post this to change anyones mind. It only gives another point of view. I'm sorry if you can't see it. Fighting your battle doesn't cut it with many rational people. I think you have to do more than attack the author.

Please do not forget Rwanda, Sudan and Darfur. Please, shall we mention Bosnia. The U.S. had no economic stake in that fight.

It was faught under the auspices of NATO which by their own admission did not want/nor were they capable of fighting that war.
I Europe/UN can't deal with their own proplems why bring NATO into it? I'll tell ya why. The guilt theory the author submits.

If you have another theory please submit it. But try to keep it simple and on point w/o all the blabber wich marks the stance of a......... well you know.

Thank you for your attention

Therein lies the problem: there is no simple one size fits all theory to explain global events. And the bunk that author wrote wasn't even a theory, it was an agenda with a nice neat little theory dreamt up to support it. If you have any real interest in sociology, then I recommend the primer 'Capitalism and Modern Social Theory' by Giddens, who is an actual expert on social theory rather than your author's field of clinical psychology (they are very different fields). As the primer runs about 250 pages I recommend you pick it up on Amazon because I won't be doing any summaries of it here.

By the way, as a warning: if you decide to venture into this realm you will find it one of many conflicting, unproven theories and no clear cut answers; but it does provide a worthwhile perspective all the same.

I guess you mean like Darwins theory.

P.S. You don't have to warn me. I'm a big boy and have seen your ilk in the past. I fear you not!!!

So please stop threatening me.

Darwin's theory of evolution was meant to explain the biological, not the social. "Social Darwinism" was a term that was coined later and, as far as social theory goes, it is more of a descriptive term than anything else.
