The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many great writers. Before considering the question, it will be useful to introduce some relating concepts. Conflict, defined【M1】______ as opposition among social entities directed against one another, is distinguished from competition, defined as opposition among social entities independent striving for something that is in【M2】______ inadequate supply. Competitors may not be aware of one another, while the parties to a conflict are. Conflict and competition are both categories of opposition, that has been defined as a process by which social entities function【M3】______ in the disservice of one another. Opposition is thus contrasted to【M4】______ cooperation, the process which social entities function in the service【M5】______ of one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited resources. Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from premise that, in the struggle for【M6】______ existence, only the fittest survive. In general, therefore, this struggle in【M7】______ nature is competition, not conflict. Social animals, such as monkeys and cattle, fight to win or maintain leadership for the group. The【M8】______ struggle for existence occurs not in fights, but in the competition for limited feeding areas and the occupancy of areas free from【M9】______ meat-eating animals. Those who fail in this competition starve to death or become victims to be other species. The struggle for【M10】______ existence does not resemble human war, but rather the competition of individuals for jobs, markets, and materials.
