Resource Wars

             Globalization has been suggested to avert the violence in many instances of resource scarcity.  Situations occur when certain companies tend to fail to be civilized about retrieving scarce resources.  Those accruing situations are commonly known as resource wars-conflicts that revolve, to a significant degree, over the pursuit or possession of critical materials.

One major resource is weapons.  Every nation wants to have that secure feeling to protect their nations, their people and their culture. When word has gotten out about a weapon that can conquer any measly gun, cannon, air strike or even bomb will result in a “implore” affect. Every nation will go neck in neck, sacrificing arm and limb in order to posses such weapon. In other words a resource war will break out.

Corporations tend to be less concerned on the positive route for their businesses. They seem to only be more self concerned for their own personal gain and/or companies. When the government and corporations team up their point of view of what’s right changes. The government is supposed to be more about the people’s well being instead of their own. The whole ideology of power tends to shift when the authority is no longer equal. The usage of control is diverted to gain not only more resources but more power. Organizations will go out of their way to annihilate one another so their company is the one left on top.

A possible connection the resource war has is with fast food nation. The motive behind the corporations is the dominance of the market. Fast food companies want to be on top; beat the completion. Government corporations seek the same outcome. To expand in the resources needed for the governments company they will overcome the competition in order to achieve success.

In the end, can we really trust and rely in our own government? If at the end of the day the self interest of the government tends to be more important, what’s left that can be done by the people to guarantee we do actually have a say in what’s going on in our own country?
