Question

Nations enter into arms races with others in an effort to increase their military might. Arms race leads to a further increase in the sense of insecurity. This sense of insecurity further increases the threats to National Security. In order to avoid these dangers, we need arms control, not an arms race.

Answer 1

The reasons why the above statement is plausible can be stated as follows.

1. Arms race undermines the sense of trust between nations, thereby eroding the sense of global brotherhood.
2. Moreover, the nation has to spend a lot of money to produce weapons, which affects the development activities of the country and slows down the development rate.
3. As the world has seen the side effects of the arms race during the Second World War, considering the huge loss of life and finances in this, everyone should try to prevent the science race from happening again in the world.
