I intend to write an informative paper that discusses the role of warfare in the formation of the world we live in now. This form of writing allows me to capture large amounts of evidence and data and present it in a condensed manner that effectively adds "weight" to what was previously thought as mundane. The form allows me to analyze what has become forgotten in the ignorance of history. In addition, my choice sparks also from personal interest. In essence, my desire to write an informative paper results from my desire to know the impacts of warfare on society.
 * I: Presentation of Research Findings**

**How has warfare changed the world we live in now?** What are the long-term effects of war?
 * II:** **The pursuit of new knowledge**

Taking an AP U.S. History course has provided me with substantial amounts of background knowledge on historic warfare. To keep it basic, war is both a win and a loss. War strengthens the victor and demolishes the loser. This trend is seen in contemporary society now as powers such as the U.S., China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan have all come to dominate international trade and economy. This superiority in economic status can be attributed to war in other ways. For example, during the Great Depression, President FDR was able to pull the U.S, back up through military spending. It was only when World War II began did the depression seem to wither away. Warfare can be seen as providing a huge stimulus for a nations economy.
 * III: Background & early knowledge**

My choice to deepen my knowledge on the subject of warfare binges from my love for history, more notably war. The very essence and attitude of the war and its socioeconomic and mental outcomes really stirs an interest within me that is unlike any else. Thus my motivation is based purely on personal interest. The concept of warfare extends past the United States to the entire world. There is rarely a time when the world is at peace. Animosity is always and will always be present in society. And the attitudes and reasons for such strong distastes come in numbers unthinkable. The only result is a topic hat is able to mold itself into any shape or form possible. However, this broadness of warfare can also harm the outcome of the piece. I fear that I will not be able to sythesize and narrow down outside information. However, regardless of any worries, a informative piece on the role, attitudes, and the effect of warfare will truly present the reason for why we live the way we do. And it is for this information that this topic is worthwhile.
