Historical Question Contemporary Issue

1. Is war inevitable?2. How can war be avoided today?
2.Is our life pre-determined that people are designed to be who they are?
3. If one's life is predetermined, therefore does that make history or the events that unfolded so far, that most believe in, to be history pre-determined too?
4.Is history cyclical or linear?
5.If all the events in the past before a person's birth did not happen, as they should have had, then is there a possibility in all likelihood that this person would not have been born?
6.Is a person a living result of all the human events, every single human event as influenced
by their situatedness (nature, geography, culture, conflict) that ever took place on earth?
