A man who respected the food rationing system starved; only one who disregarded it brazenly could eat his fill. A man schooled in bribery got ahead, if he speculated, he profited. Standards and values disappeared during this melting and evaporation of money; there was but one merit: to be clever, shrewd, unscrupulous, and to mount the racing horse instead of be trampled by it.”

It would be a state of disorder where order and systems collapsed, and people do not fulfill their roles and responsibilities. When order fails in society, it becomes difficult to coordinate different ideas and arguments or make decisions. That can easily lead to conflict with no alternative. Disregarding one’s roles and responsibilities or not keeping the basic rules can also cause social confusion. Some of them can be directly related to human lives and safety.
Aircrafts and people alike, when basic order is not upheld, it can lead to casualties. 05:06 p.m. on 27 March 1977, a flight ignored the control tower signal and order of traffic, and two planes collided on the runway of Los Rodeos Airport on the Spanish island of Tenerife. The coalition resulted in 583 deaths and 60 injuries among 644 passengers and crew of two flights. The “Tenerife airport disaster” was the deadliest aviation accident ever recorded.Even in our daily lives, if drivers on the road do not follow traffic rules, it will cause confusion and congestion.

Communities, cities, states, and countries have their laws. Individuals or groups are punished when they do not abide by the law, and that keeps order to an extent. But for units bigger than countries, there are limitations to enforcing the law. Currently, international law and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) protects international order, but they do not have enforceable power. So, it is difficult to legally maintain order when a country wages war or resorts to armed forces. If one country puts its national interest first and incites war, peace and order become fragile. It brings longstanding confusion and sorrow to many people.World War II started on 1 September 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Hitler, invaded Poland. The Axis powers, Germany, Italy, and Japan attempted to absorb other nations and build a giant country. The Allied Powers, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and China fought against

Which included 24 million military casualties and 49 million civilian casualties. Approximately 73 million people were injured or killed in the war reportedly.
The scientist Albert Einstein once said, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” It was a warning that a third World War could destroy human civilization. “You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”
