There has been no lack of theories on
the cause of war. But we do lack theories that hold up when tested against the
facts of history. This deficiency of all existing theories has led a group of
scholars to try to reverse the typical way of arriving at an explanation for
war. Instead of coming up with a theory and then looking for the evidence, they
have decided to look first at the evidence. Their first undertaking was to
collect the most precise information possible about wars, their length,
destructiveness, and participants. But before they could do even this they
needed careful definitions of terms, so it would be clear which events belonged
in the category of "war", when a state could be considered "participating in a
war", what in fact a "state" was, and so on. Like all definitions, theirs were
somewhat arbitrary, but they carefully justified their c
A. (A) you should not trust the word of people who speak on street corners
B. (B) facts speak louder than opinions
C. (C) ancient wars described in the Bible were not included in the study
D. (D) the Bible is not a reliable source of historical information

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today’s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today’s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives
The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical victim.
