in human history early hominids dating back more than a million years, prehistory is dated between 20 and 10 thousand years, while the first civilizations go back to just over 5000 years.
In the final part of the twentieth century AD, with increasing quality of life, improved home comfort food hygiene and health care communication shall be paid the exponential increase of human knowledge and technological development without precedent. Nowadays, the progress of humanity, are perceived to be opposed to barbarism.
It is noted that, like the tendency of history to enhance the value of the war, instead of the dead, we continue to celebrate victories and deliverances dedicating holidays.
A little 'memory of recent history: Nazi extermination of the Jews (1938) 5.9 million dead, Roma and Sinti from 500,000 to 1.5000.000, Srebrenica (1995) almost 10,000 deaths, the Assyrian Genocide (1914 1920) 275,000 dead, greek genocide (1908 1923) between 1.5 and 2.0 million deaths, Ukraine famine planned (1933) 7,000,000 deaths , Cambodia (1979-1997) from 800,000 to 3,300,000 dead, Armenia first 1890 seconds massacre massacre in 1909 for a total di1.200.000 dead.
Although the dates of the facts cited are subsequent to 1900, mass killings and genocides continue today with regularity: Sudan Darfur from 40,000 to 450,000 deaths, 80,000 to 1,071,000 from Rwanda, Uganda 300,000, Georgian-Abkhazian war from 10,000 to 30,000, Sri Lanka Civil War 72,000 dead.
From Wikipedia: According to FAO estimates of 2003 [1], more than 25,000 people die of hunger every day, while between 2001 and 2003 more than 800 million people suffer from chronic malnutrition [2] [1]. On average a child dies of hunger every five seconds.
In light of the facts, technical progress, scientific, social and economic, has no connection with human barbarity, remained the same. Each
historical commemoration that refers to a war, it ends up eseltare some false value attached to it.
War is barbarism, can not give any value to civilization, not even for Democracy.
Humanity calling themselves civil claiming victory, but winning is the only human hypocrisy.
