Effect of War on Human
Societies' (about 150-200 words)
Answers
The effects of war are widely spread and can be long term or short term.[2] Soldiers experience war differently than civilians, although either suffer in times of war, and women and children[citation needed] suffer unspeakable atrocities in particular. In the past decade, up to two million of those killed in armed conflicts were children.[2] The widespread trauma caused by these atrocities and suffering of the civilian population is another legacy of these conflicts, the following creates extensive emotional and psychological stress.[3] Present-day internal wars generally take a larger toll on civilians than state wars. This is due to the increasing trend where combatants have made targeting civilians a strategic objective.[2] A state conflict is an armed conflict that occurs with the use of armed force between two parties, of which one is the government of a state.[4] "The three problems posed by intra‐state conflict are the willingness of UN members, particularly the strongest member, to intervene; the structural ability of the UN to respond; and whether the traditional principles of peacekeeping should be applied to intra‐state conflict".[5] Effects of war also include mass destruction of cities and have long lasting effects on a country's economy.[6] Armed conflict has important indirect negative consequences on infrastructure, public health provision, and social order.[7] These indirect consequences are often overlooked and unappreciated

Dear diary,
Today I got to know that Russia officially declared war against Ukraine. I was really sad to know about this update because wars are the biggest threat to human societies. So, I decided to write about the effects of war on human societies.
Wars have uncountable short-term as well as long-term effects on human societies. Wars break out for various reasons, they occur between countries and within the countries. The latter is generally known as a civil war and can occur as a result of differences based on race, religion, socio economic dissatisfactions among others. Whether the wars are waged between the countries or within the countries between different sections of people the effects are destructive.
Wars bring untold miseries and political and economic instability within the societies. People's lives and daily existence come under threat. It would be difficult to find jobs or live our day-to-day existence. Populations are displaced and have to constantly move from one place to other for security reasons.
As we can see in countries like Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, and Somalia, wars are going on in these countries and so they accurately reflect the tragedy that wars bring. People living in these countries are frightened emotionally and physically for life.
Thus, human beings must avoid wars at all costs. The only way we can protect our lives and ensure stability in our country is to practice tolerance, respect, and brotherhood amongst each other.
