In what areas have you seen conflict recently in nation/global fronts and how was it handled? How would you recommend it be resolved if you were in charge of handling the latest world-wide pandemic?
The global conflicts are majorly on the mentioned fronts:
· Economic Gain. Often wars are caused by one country's wish to take control of another country's wealth.
· Territorial Gain.
· Religion.
· Nationalism.
· Revenge.
· Civil War.
· Revolutionary War.
· Defensive War.
The globe has seen many a conflict on these lines. However, the recent pandemic of COVID 19 is a conflict that has conflicts in the space like trade war, war on the economy, the war of foreign relations, and the supply chain wars across the globe.
China is the largest supplier of the global Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) which is of utmost necessity for the people working at the forefront to fight the COVID 19 war. The recent development shows that the lack of medicine and personal protective instruments and the relations of trade and commerce has seen a major setback. Since the virus and its effects were not communicated to the Globe at the right time, China and its leadership are facing a major backlash and the nation of China has fought it with major setbacks in its supply chain and repute globally. However, there is a way to fight this back in the future which would be to fight the disruption together with all the information been shared for the people across the globe not only to get a solution but also make sure such drastic effects are prevented in the future for the global peace and harmony.
