Hi Sir,

Please see the attached file for my History Essay no. 3, "Opinions about World War 3."

Thanks.

How Post-Modernism caused World War 3

The common belief is that World War 3 happened because of the Minority Uprising and the Arabian Wars. But an in-depth look at the ideologies and philosophies of the Post-Modern era makes it clear that it was Post-Modernism which caused World War 3.

Effects of the Post-Modern Era

The Post-Modern era had its effect in the society which eventually led to the Third World War and possibly, the Continental Wars.

Spearheading this movement was largely attributed to the America's which was then known as the United States of America. At that time, the Americas was considered to be the leading and most influential country which paved the way of the Post-Modern philosophy.

This era was an era marked of confusing and contradicting beliefs. At the forefront of this belief were the following trains of thought:

-Truth being relative

-Sexual genders, age, and other identity related, be it biological or geographical, were disregarded and became a concept of choice

-The desire for Acceptance

-Exaggerated claims of Racial discrimination

-Radical desire to promote Globalization

-Spurge of Atheistic Philosophies

The relativity of truth became a construct that went against Globalization as truth was usually treated as acceptance. Any other "truths" that did not accept or at least tolerate the majorities desire were frowned upon. This eventually led to the belief of sexual genders and age being a concept of choice or preference. Word count is challenging. I need about a hundred thirty more words to make it.

The concept of 'race' later became a choice as a movement to end Racial discrimination urged everyone to abandon their racial and ethnocentric mindsets.

This era soon reached a point that being '"straight" in your sexual orientation, or living a life which was obviously tied to the person's ethnic or cultural upbringing was offensive. Is this why we still have gender bender stories today?

President Oswel Grover, President of the former "United States of America" was famously coined for his adamant stand against people questioning his sexual orientation.

"Why is it that of all orientations, being straight is offensive? This is my orientation and I am entitled to it. I by no means, desire to offend the other genders because I accept them and respect them. But why is it, that my comments regarding straight sex are largely frowned upon? Why is it that I live in a nation where being Asian is offensive, being Black is offensive, being White is offensive? If the truth is relative, these are my truths. The truth is, we have tried our best to steer clear from ethnocentrisms but have ended up becoming ethnocentric!"

Despite the surge of support for President Grover, he was eventually impeached due to misdemeanor and hatred against other gender groups and was found guilty for inciting division against America and the whole world itself. President Grover was a short and funny man who owned several pigeons which he trained to become courier pigeons.

It was clear, that Globalization would be a force that would soon control and dictate the way of life of the entire planet.

As this belief started to root itself on all the nations, a standard of what a human being should be, became final. This movement became known as "the Globalized Globe" movement.

Globalized Globe

Many attribute the Globalized Globe movement to be the last straw which caused the Minority Uprising. The name globalized globe is a lazy name written by people who couldn't create a more decent slogan.

In pursuit of globalization, any group or culture that demanded exclusivity or cultural uniqueness were frowned upon. Everyone has to adopt a specific lifestyle and has to conform to this lifestyle. This movement was a movement against itself because while it was an attempt to prove that truth was relative, absolute truth was demanded to everyone.

While it demanded acceptance, any other view that would not be accepted by the majority was considered "offensive" or "divisive."

At the peak of this era, the following global changes were noted.

1. Globalized Names.

Nation's all voted to make English the universal language in order to unite the entire nations and build a culture that is generally not offensive. Nations also adopted the "Post-Modern" or "Globalized" names wherein they would have second names that were not rooted in their corresponding racial heritages. 

A list of Surnames was also developed as voted by the majority. Nations that generally had too "ethnic names" were to adopt or at least have a Globalized name. There were several nations who moved against this. The nations which moved against this were: the nations formerly known as United Arab Emirates, China, Israel, Iraq, Japan, Spain, and Africa. However, their protest did little to stop the movement of Globalized Globe as the necessity for having a Globalized name was necessary for travel, purchase and other transactions on any other countries.

Family names were changed to adopt "neutral" names which would either be based on the colors, stones, plants, animals, and other globally accepted terms based on famous fictional entities, characters or even terminologies.

Some of the most famous surnames that held on to Post-Modern fiction include Blastoise, Marvel, Kent, Potter, Skywalker, and Targaryen. Humphrey is a funny surname. Hump this for free.

2. Unification of Technology

Technology was also unified. Countries urged each other to share their technology in all countries in order for everyone to have an equal capacity to achieve the best quality of life possible. At this point, third world countries were granted amazing support under Globalized Globe as several companies revealed their patented products to third world countries.

The Minority Uprising

The Minority Uprising was the result of years of extreme Post-Modern beliefs and the push of Globalization and shared technology. The first Minority Uprising occurred in the America's when it was still known as the United States of America.

Graden Pouterfisx, a Russian-born American citizen rose to power when a new party emerged out of the extreme prejudice that the Post-Modern supporters claimed to be "Acceptance."

The party managed to garner support from the military and soon, a coup d'etat transpired and thus "The Americas" was born. How quaint. Naming your country 'the Americas' because you conquered South and Central America. Well, what about Canada? You're just going to ignore the fact that that country's in your continent?

The successful revolution of the Americas sparked international rage but also sparked an international cry from all groups who were being discriminated under the guise of acceptance.

Over thirty nations experienced civil unrest and some even led to civil wars. Thus the Minority Uprising slogan was widely spread on all rebelling groups.

"They Rejected when we Accepted. They Discriminated when we Tolerated. They Celebrated when we were Offended. They Hated when we Loved."

Conclusion

Since the Minority Uprising was caused by Globalized Globe and Globalized Globe was caused by Post-Modernism, I believe that just like World War 1 and 2, which were caused by the ideology of Modernism, so did World War 3 occur because of this ideology.

Our beliefs as long as it doesn't offend others is ok. That is what Post-Modernism believed. But looking at history, belief has always led to wars. Be it in religious, political and in this scenario, philosophical. I just need twelve more words to finish this stupid essay. And with this, I'm done!

I believe, that World War 4 would soon happen if we are not careful. Allowing an unchecked "ism" be it Modernism, Post-Modernism or Supra-Modernism, would eventually lead to wars and more deaths. So I do hope that eventually, we will find the answer. My own answer would be to create an ideal philosophy that is accepted by everyone not just in their minds and in their hearts. But even that, would be an "ism" as well.

Meryl, the next time you write a 1300-word article and expect me not to read it, don't choose an interesting topic.

I would have given you perfect marks if not for those useless details and sentences.

On a brighter note, good job in this article. If not for your little word count trick I wouldn't have believed that you wrote this. You asked help from Arthur Humphrey didn't you?

PS. Make sure he doesn't hear about that name joke of yours or else you'll get kicked out of the Covenant. Can you ask him to post a fan-sign with my name? And please make him use Arthur Humphrey instead of Precision if you can. We're rooting for you and the Covenant!

Sincerely,

Professor Darian.
