According to Huntington, The kin-country syndrome will determine alliances and change relations. Huntington states that, “alliances during times of war or crisis will begin to focus more on a ‘kin’ relationship.” When there is a war between two states that involved two different civilizations, each of the civilization will begin to rally support among the other states with the same civilization as them. The war between states makes the nationalism of each civilization become stronger.

The purpose of this writing would be to show that the world could be a much simpler place to live in if civilization was treated equally. With everyone born as humans no matter the color of our skin or the ethnicity that we were raised in it raises many to question why we cannot treat one another equally and why we do not get along or respect one another. While we are not any closer to figuring out why our world kills its own kind over feuds, I believe religion plays a big factor in why certain cultures are enemies.

This negative picture too can be linked together with the President Trump’s administration. Taesuh Cha contents, “Jacksonian worldview has been analyzed as an illiberal, populist ideological system that stems from the early modern inter-civilizational conflict between European settlers and Native Americans. This tradition imaginatively constructs the United States as “a folk community bound together by deep cultural and ethnic ties…definition of populism as an ideology which pits a virtuous and homogeneous people against a set of elites and dangerous others helps us understand Jacksonianism as a variant of the U.S. populist movement” (Cha 85).

    Our academic disciplines, journals, movies, and our whole cultural system is highly affected by the inevitability of the conflict between 'Islam ' and 'West ' (Adib-Moghaddam, 2011). This " clash regime" is a cultural artifact which is positioned in different strata of society because it is made up by a system of interdependent discourses that disperse into society and form a powerful 'clash mentality (Adib-Moghadam, 2011, p.5). This clash regime has constituted a main part of today 's national and international political culture (Adiv-Moghaddam, 2011, p.5). Therefore, European culture gained its own strength and identity by setting itself off against the Orient (Said, 1978). According to Macfie (2002), one of the convictions that is widely held in orientalism is the belief that Islam unlike other religions, is inherently violent its followers believe in the doctrine of Holy War or Jihad.

  • Dynamic Differential Theory Of World War 1

    I seek to explain the onset of World War I, World War II Europe, and World War II Pacific by using a systemic level of analysis, particularly dynamic differentials theory. Dynamic Differentials Theory states that war is likely when a dominant power is facing deep and inevitable decline. These dominant powers are more likely to wage war against another power because they suspect their own power is fleeting and want to prevent their decline by any means necessary. This theory also states that war is only likely in a multipolar system when the declining state has substantially more military power than the others, and will only declare war when the declining power believes its military strength has reached its peak.

However, the conflict theory we are referring to here is not necessarily an infliction of violence or atrocities, but a conflict that arises due to unequal distribution of power and resources. Theorists consider power to be an important element of conflict theory. For instance, who uses power or where is power located are two of the main concerns of conflict theory.
