Wars are very harmful phenomena that cause pain and harm to all of the people that…
It all starts out in Redding, Connecticut with a boy named Tim Meeker. Tim is a young boy who has always wanted to be like his brother, because being like his brother means he will attend college at yale and make their father proud. All was going as planned until one day when Tim’s older brother Sam shows up at home from college unannounced. Tim and his family soon learn that Sam has come home to retrieve their father's gun, because he has decided to fight in the war. Before anyone could stop him Sam ran away and no one has heard from him since. One day Tim’s brother returned home once again with a purpose this time he had to ask Tim something. Sam asked Tim if he wanted to fight with him in the war knowing that it meant fighting against their father and their friends. So Tim is left with this huge decision that he has to answer fast and his time is running out. After considering it all and losing his father to the opposing team Tim decides to go Anti-war and doesn’t choose either side. In the end Sam died due to the fact that he was falsely accused of stealing his family's cattle, but was found guilty by a man who wanted to prove a point to Sam and the others that if you left his side you would face the consequences. SO in the end even though Tim lost his father and brother he was happy with his decision to become Anti-War and…
The effect of The Great War on Australian society was one of the most challenging impacts on Australia. During the great war 60,000 men were killed and 156,000 men were wounded, the grief and sorrow felt from the loss of the men during the great war impacted for generations. Not only were our losses one of the greatest conflict in Australian history but The Great War also began the Anzac tradition, which gradually became a part of Australian identity. Given the appalling conditions of the trenches experienced by soldiers it is not surprising they suffered numerous diseases, illnesses and mental torment from the threat of being bodily harmed or wounded. The mental anguish suffered by returning soldiers would have impacted on the men who fought…
Wars are all preventable and cruel to all people involved especially to the small who is fighting for big companies oil sometimes laying down their own life, “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind”- John F.…
War never seems to be presented as a good thing. At best, it is marketed by those wishing to engage in it as a necessary evil. War destroys. It destroys villages, cities, buildings, communities, and most importantly it destroys human life and families and on a larger scale can destroy nations. War does not build. It is not constructive. War is destructive. The Russian people had enough war. They were weary of an unpopular war just decades earlier, and the result of the people’s resolve led to an absolution of the Tsarist government.…
Many people believe that wars do not always have a valid reason to be fought. Some of the arguments are that it brings death of civilians that could have been avoided. But in truth, people die every day. War may cause some harmful things, but, if you think about it, don’t people? I believe, and encourage you to believe with me, that wars are in fact necessary. Not just because we are fighting for what we believe in, but good things do come of war. Such as brotherhood, patriotism to your country, and also unifies our country as a whole by us coming together.…
War presents a very complex moral dilemma. While it is necessary to fight for freedom, a better world, and what is right, war contradicts itself. The very same soldiers that fight in defense of these values have them taken away because of their experiences at war. The negative effects are just as big as the positive effects of war. A nation can never really win in war because of this. Instead war just stays a neutral thing.…
Warfare is ultimately about governance and is a violent way to determine who the winner is and who the loser will be, the winner gets wealth and the power to decide what is what. War is the means for deciding what happens when peaceful resolutions cannot be made. Threats of war are not considered real nor indications of war. The conflict must be actual to count as war, both must be intentional and widespread, such as states to count as war. There is no real war unless there is intent and force. From the views of a philosopher of war, Carl Von Clausewitz suggested that war is simply "the continuation of policy by other means." This meaning war is a way to violently and forcefully resolve a policy when peaceful resolutions are ineffective. With Clausewitz's own view of war as "an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will." Meaning war is vast and creates policies instead of just a continuation, which shows war is a development of humans. War is brutal, ugly and yet it is a part of human history and change. Although paradoxical, War reveals the darkness of humanity. War will always be a force in our lives and although we always hope in the future there would be no conflict, war has already scarred the earth. Because of War's violent and controversial effects on humanity are many question of its morals, is war wrong and can it be justified? Will it…
During c1914-1950 social attitudes towards life in Britain varied amongst the British civilians dramatically. The main reason social attitudes changed so much was because this was a period of ‘total war’, a time where men, women, boys and girls were all involved in the war be it on the front line fighting or at home trying to stay alive. The attitude of some people changed positively as social classes were brought together for the first time, meaning it opened the eyes to the different lifestyles around Britain and allowed the ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ to mingle with each other. However not all the British people were welcome to the idea of the ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ mixing with each other and thought that it was “socially unacceptable to be associated with someone of a lower status than yourself”. This shows that the war had both a positive and negative impact on the social attitudes of the British people.…
I think war is unacceptable for a number of different reasons. My first reason is the amount of civilians killed, such as when the two nuclear bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in world war 2 and killed 350,000 innocent lives.…
War has always been, and will always be, a necessary action perpetrated by the human race. There are many different reasons for war: rage, passion, greed, defense, and religion to name a few. When differences cannot be solved or compromised through mediation with an opposing party and anger burns with a fiery passion, war is the last remaining option. Obviously, the purpose of any war is to win. How are wars won? Perhaps if we were to ask a member of the Defense Department during the early stages of the war in Iraq, his answer might be, “To win this war we must force the enemy into submission by means of ethical warfare.” If we were to ask a marine in the Second World War what he was told by his commanding officer he would reply, “To close with the enemy and destroy him.” (Fussell, 763).…
War is malicious doing that causes many unarmed civilians to to die. In World War I, almost 9,000,000 civilians were killed and for what? Their deaths served no purpose in aiding the war effort on either side. These civilians died from diseases, because almost all of their nation’s medicine and medical personnel were helping in the war effort, from massacres, caused by militaries destroying entire cities filled with people, and from starvation, due to practically all the nation’s food being channeled to…
War is bad, but actually, when it clicks in someones mind, its very helpful. If it wasn't for war, then what would this country look like or be like? It would be very different because this country is in the condition it is because of war. The Revolutionary War drove the British out of America, and that's part of the reason America is a free country. Even though most families lose a family member to war, war keeps the United States a free country.…
It seems to be in this day and age that there is a general conclusion that war actually benefits the economy. Through decreasing unemployment by creating jobs as well as allowing those now employed to spend in the retail sector, it may seem as though war is an economic necessity to bring countries out of economic depression. This economic cycle of employment and spending may seem to benefit the economy as a whole, however in reality there is a much different truth to how war effects the economy of every country involved. By preparing for war a country may seem to rise in spirit and growth. What is not taken into account is the money that is spent on the war could have been spent else where, otherwise known as The Broken Window Fallacy. It is hard to tell if war is benefiting the economy as we will never know what the GDP would be if the money spent on the war was spent on things like education, jobs and training which benefit the economy in the long run. A war can only be funded in three ways and none help the economy.…
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of war on a soldier financial decision making process. Militarism has countless costs, from lives lost in armed conflict to environmental degradation to damage to the physical mental and emotional of the troops involved. The study focuses on the challenges faced by soldiers during their financial decision process. This is particularly after war and what can be the possible solution to this problem. According to the international law, war is an armed conflict between two or more governments or states. When such conflicts assume global proportions, they are known as world wars. War between different parts or factions of the same nation is called civil war.…
