My weekend at man camp: trauma, wrestling and tears — video. Play Video. What I learned about male desire in a sex doll factory. If we look at it closely and with compassion, male desire is more complicated than most people assume it to be.

As rigs close down, suicide numbers go up. With a local industry in shambles, a mental health crisis is brewing. Black or blue: the complex double-lives of Oakland's Black police officers.

The straight cis men at a corporate gym helped save my trans soul. I confronted my daughter's boyfriend — but I was really confronting myself. Squared up with another man, I relied on anger to cover my fear and love — two things I had learned men should repress.

Then I took a hard look at myself. I had the best body I've ever had — so why did I feel so much shame? It is at this point that Waltz attempts to analyze whether it is possible to create a world that is devoid of war or if war itself is an inherent aspect of mankind which will never truly go away Waltz, Upon further reading it can be seen that the ideas of Waltz are heavily influenced by the ideas of realism and neo-realism wherein he states that the anarchic international system combined with self interested states which is one of the claims of realism actually prevents the creation of a peaceful global environment due to factors related to competition and mutual distrust.

In the end Waltz states that the only method of resolving the current dilemma of war is if a single world government was to be created which addresses the individual concerns of each state.

When going through the entirety of the text it can be seen that Waltz synthesized the views of Hobbes, Mills, Rosseau, Kant, Spinoza, Kant, Smith and a variety of other known experts in the field of international relations in order to formulate the arguments present within his book.

The sheer amount of views and in-text lifting from other authors lends the work a certain degree of veracity in terms of the accuracy of the arguments and how they conform to current methods of thinking regarding the current state of conflict within international relations and its origins. As such, in terms of its use of sources I find that there are no problems whatsoever. The main strength of the work of Walsh comes from its use of prolific body of historical knowledge and thoughts from various experts in international relations tht formed the foundation of his work.

There are other factors that he neglected to take into consideration such as religion which was why the historic crusades were started and one of the contributing factors behind the ongoing conflict between Israel and several Arab states , ethnicities as seen in the current ethnic conflict between Sunni and Shiite Muslims which has led to various uprisings in the Middle East , economic factors as seen in the case between the U.

Lastly, the fight for resources has been an ongoing theme within human history which Walsh neglected to elaborate on yet has been growing in relevancy due to factors related to growing population rates, global warming and an assortment of other factors which has further exacerbated this growing point of contention Betts, While the book itself is great basis from which one can learn about the origins and causes of war, it focuses too much on the various arguments of historical thinkers without sufficiently examining other factors which influence the start of wars.

Overall, it can be stated that the work of Waltz is a great attempt at explaining the origin of war yet, based on the critique of the text, it can be seen that the concept of war is too broad to be defined within the parameters defined by Walsh and constitute far more factors than what was elaborated on.
