Subject: Response to Topic 1

In Mesopotamia, a frequent issue was, of course, the different civilizations fighting for land and power. This is probably the basis of all of our wars in history, not only in Mesopotamia. The big question is, however, how can we as humans with different opinions, ideas and thoughts learn to compromise without violence. The civilizations in Mesopotamia had this same dilema. Is there even a solution to this or is this too much of an idealistic point of view?

I believe that it is almost impossible for two different civiilizations to compromise because they have such different views. It becomes even harder to compromise when the people fighting are stubborn. For these reasons, I think that the only way different people will be able to compromise is if they are willing to adapt different views in addition with their own, and this will probably never happen.
