Possibility
While world peace is theoretically possible, some believe that human nature inherently prevents it. This belief stems from the idea that humans are naturally violent, or that rational agents will choose to commit violent acts in certain circumstances.
Others, however, believe that war is absolutely not an innate part of human nature, but a human invention, and that this myth in fact prevents people from reaching for world peace.
