Democratic peace

Since the unipolar movement of the United states post cold war the American ideal has been spreading. Capitalism, democracy, globalization in general, have all been aspects of this post cold war era. The years prior to 2008 were known as the age of optimism were technology was held in strong standing and the global economy was intertwined with the united states. Some could say technology has been the answer to a lot of social differences and a strong indicator of the spread of democracy. Libya, Syria, Egypt, Kenya (with the signing of their constitution) and many countries have been effected by the democractic idea. Is this democractic peace theory true? Is technology the answer to all conflicts; medicine, political, and environmental.

Facebook, google, and technology as a whole has been used to describe children of our generation (this maybe untrue for seniors in our class!). This programs have arguably helped to spread democracy, but it has created civil unrest.

My question is technology the ultimate bandaid, or does it cause just as many problems as it solves? Is this idea of a democratic peace true? I no that this isn't philosophy but I'm interested to see what many of you think of present day ideas. Thank you!
