No matter how much a person tries to avoid conflict and feel that ignorance is bliss, it will take it’s toll one way or another. At the heart of most conflict is ignorance. When we are not able to see another person's view or perspective, we become ignorant to their views, values and their way of life. We don’t have the ability to empathise with them hence we enter into disagreements which inevitably lead to further conflict.

Additionally there were developments that occurred without war, which illustrates that involvement in war was not the only cause for change. Therefore war was an important catalyst and factor to significant changes but was not the sole cause of change. The war that caused most change was Word War One due to its role in the February revolution in 1917 and the fall of the provisional government in the October revolution. The defeats of the war dwindled support from liberals and Octobrists for the Tsarist regime, which was further worsened by criticism from organisations including the Central War Industries committee and the union of Zemstva. This formed support and reason for the Progressive Bloc.
Isaac Deutscher is one historian who has the contrasting views of the right wing historian, Pipes. Deutscher praises Trotsky for his role before the 1917 Revolution, stating that to question Trotsky’s brain and strong military leadership is ludicrous. Due to the strong evidence of Trotsky’s outstanding influence towards the October Revolution. Pipes’ views Trotsky’s role in the October Revolution as being exaggerated by his admirers.

English 'Persuasive Writing' By Eva Kiss Literature is meant to provide a perspective on life. The ability to view writing through different perspectives allows a deeper understanding of the text, as well as a wider knowledge about the world around us. William Shakespeare's Henry IV:Part One is one of his many historical plays, arguably intended to divulge to the Tudor England audience a different viewpoint of the Royal family to contemplate the rule of King Henry IV. The text opens up the issues of duty, the question of honour, the 'right' approach towards leadership and the value of life which, considering the Elizabethan period in which it was written, delves into the many concerns of the responders of the time, as well as remaining
Throughout the story, we never really get a grasp of any sort of happiness in these people’s lives, so for these bleak men and women, an equally bleak ending seems almost unavoidable, if not expected. I agree with this statement in that just about every character that Steinbeck creates is in some way damaged. There are the obvious characters, such as Lennie and
(Omelas, 259). The fact these people do not know of a world outside their own is another reason they believe so strongly someone must struggle for many to prosper. “They also got along without the stock exchange, the advertisement, the secret police, and the bomb”. (Omelas, 259). The people of the village in Omelas were some who no longer knew happiness or joy which played a major role in the way their victims were made to suffer.
Other authors, such as William Faulker, leave the challenge up to the reader. Seeing the world from the perspectives of the characters in As I Lay Dying requires a redefining of the reader's own semantic perception of the world. Understanding the novel's characters and their thoughts and feelings and motivations requires complete freedom from preconceived semantic associations; it requires redefining the associations the reader has with words and redefining the words themselves.
