Active listening is in taking the information from your ears and remembering it. (also helps with mutual understanding) It is used by parents to show their children a good example and to also remember what the person said. (Helps speaker feels that they are being listened to.)
This answer would depend on what the country you are referring too. For the world, I foresee that there will most likely be more war as right now Putin is pushing his ambitions to restore the once known empire of the Soviet Union. This means war in major continents Asia and Europe. NATO is in both continents, and if one country gets involved, they all do. This would mean more than 50% of the worlds countries would be at war with Russia under the agreement of NATO.
