Reflections on Living Standards and Warfare
This chapter explores the evolution of personal hygiene and sanitation over the past century, juxtaposed with personal anecdotes from a teaching experience in Geneva during a tumultuous political period in Iran. The conversation then shifts to the socio-political dynamics in Iran, reflecting on citizens' potential for change amid oppressive governance, before delving into the complexities of modern warfare, ethical considerations of military actions, and the historical context of conflict. By examining these themes, the chapter provides insights into the intertwined nature of daily life and global geopolitical issues.
