War Argumentative Essays Samples For Students

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

Ideas are More Powerful than Guns

Ideas are more powerful than guns is a point of departure that is much similar to the saying that ‘pen is mightier than sword’. Although this phrase together with Stalin’s quote that ‘Ideas are more powerful than guns’ may sound like an out-of-date cliché in the contemporary societies, their rationality cannot be disregarded even in the advent of today’s context of different mass media. This basically means that a person can be able to influence more people on a larger scale whereas guns and swords can only force people to behave in a certain way but cannot change individual opinions.

I was a coward. I went to war. Tim O’Brien holds this claim, this thought, for over twenty years. Choosing not to tell it to anyone, for fear of embarrassment, not just his own, but his wife and children as well. Having felt as a secret hero, a “lone ranger”, thinking that in any case it ever became evil enough or it became good enough then he would simply react to a reservoir of courage built up over the years (O’Brien, 1990). But here he was, facing the reality of being drafted into a war he neither supported nor knew anything ...

Man like most of the other members of the animal kingdom is a territorial creature. He needs space to live, space to gather resources, maintain a family, pass down assets to progeny, and so on. War like behavior is seen in many other species from ants to chimpanzees (Thornton).

The world as we know today is a lot different from what nature has defined it to be. Man’s colonial tendencies, his ability to develop cultures ...

Abstract

There is an increased case of terrorist activities in the world in the past decades. The results of such attacks have been tremendous as the case in America 2001, and Kenya 1998 both of which targeted American citizens. Due to this, there is an increase in the war against terror in the world. There are laws in different countries aimed at deterring the occurrence of the terrorist activities, but this does not seem to work. It thus led to strict actions that have been criticized strongly by human rights bodies as amnesty international, human rights watch, among others. This ...

The U.S’ government decision to wage war on Vietnam without a good plan of war involving clear-cut strategies and plans was one decision they poorly made.

General Assembly, as part of the International Bill of Human Rights, in December, 1948 (United Nations).

It is of concern, it worries me, it begs the question, and ‘who am I?’ It is a life of self-seeking; searching trying to make sense of what makes me what I am. Who defines me? Is what I think I am what should be entitled of me, or is this a life of conformity? Femininity, unfortunately, confined us to the unfortunate position of finding a place to fill, occasionally, which turns out to be most of the time taking up roles which, if we have not volunteered to take yet, relegated to us by manhood.
I am seven years of ...

‘Warfare state’ or ‘welfare state’: which better describes the British State in the 20th century?

Great Britain has been a witness to many conflicts that had led to a shift in international and regional politics, triggering the onset of policies and programs directed to either war or welfare. As a veteran of the Great Wars and one of the world’s influential hegemons, Britain had succumbed to both victory and immense loss especially in economic and social development. With the trauma caused by the Great Wars to the nation, the British government alongside the monarchy had revised its programs to revive the once dominant British state towards the 20th century. However, experts have argued as to what ...

The United Nations was formed in 1945. Several independent states became members of this organization with a common objective of promoting international peace and security. There has been a long standing debate about the ethical nature of this organization. Preventive actions taken by the UN as a justification to protect the state are at times criticized. William V. O’Brien criticizes on the basis that, the right of defense can only be used when the specified criterion are fulfilled. These criterion include; intent, imminence, and proportionality (Lango, 2005). The magnitude of the threat needs to be understood by the UN forces before ...

Jus ad bellum concerns whether it is moral to go to war while Jus in Bello concerns moral conduct expected in war (Jean, 2004). There is need to add a third part: ...

Several factors can be attributed to the Spaniards conquest against the Mexican. However, the most significant factor that led to this conquest was the coalition of Spanish forces. Spanish forces got reinforcement from a number of rivals of the Aztec Empire. The rivals who offered support to the Spanish included Totonacs and the Tlaxcaltecas. The Spanish army coalition had the numbers in their favor besides the superior weapons which helped them a great deal to conquer the Spaniards (Lockhart, 2004). The Mexican on the other hand used inferior weapons which could not counter Spanish weapons. The Spanish coalition of forces was ...

The two protagonists of Homer’s Iliad and Shakespeare’s Coriolanus present similar sentiments. All three of them were great leaders of men and valiant fighters. It is unfortunate that these men were dragged into situations from where there could be no escape as they were, and had to live up to their heroic statures. There was a huge burden placed on them by their respective followers during war that they paid no heed to the consequence they would face when they faced off with their enemy. Therefore, there is no doubt that all the three of them; Hector, Achilles, ...

No understanding of international law is complete without first understanding its sources. According to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the judicial arm of the United Nations, the sources of international ...

In the annals of history concerning World War I, Germany is typically one of the only countries that was not only punished, but also given a bad reputation after the end of the conflict. Though the term “World War” suggests that they were not the only ones involved, it appears that they were the only enemies worthy of justified persecution. There are many reasons why other countries, such as Austria-Hungary, as it was known then, as well as Russia and Serbia, should have received negative recognition and discipline just as Germany did after the war ended. Though Germany had its ...

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that humans would soon run out of food to eat. He thought that the limits on the world’s arable land meant that food supply would simply not rise as quickly as population would. Even in 1798, Malthus felt that the population was at the point of growing faster than food supply, so he did not see this as a problem that would show up millennia later; instead, he saw it as an imminent development. Of course, we are still here, more than 200 years later, and the plenty available for sale in supermarkets throughout ...

Essence of ‘To Live’
Historical accuracy and sensitivity is one of the most important aspects that weigh heavily on the film To Live (1994), which is directed by Zhang Yimou. From a viewer’s point of view, the film is an interesting event-raveling depiction of what occurred half a century or so ago in China. This put the sequence of events into an epoch when the country was under what can be said to be a transformation characterized by a series of both political and social changes. By then, China was run by the political regime headed by Mao Zedong and this ...

Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino is the story of a grizzled war veteran who tries to make peace with the changing world around him. On the surface, the film only appears to confront the racist follies of an old man, unwilling to let go of prejudices stemming from his time spent at war. However, the film is much deeper than that. Walt, the war veteran, had an American dream that was taken from him when he returned from war. Gran Torino is a delicate examination of that dream, and how Walt reconciles not only with the changing landscape of America, but ...

In recent years, there have been debates regarding whether to tax the richer at higher rates or not.

Truth in fiction is often relative; the extent to which objective truth is embellished in favor of dramatic license or reflecting the emotional tenor of the speaker is important. In “How to Tell a True War Story,” Tim O’Brien tells various tales of his time in Vietnam from various perspectives and sources – it is equally a recounting of his own experiences and embellishment from an author looking to create an interesting story. O’Brien’s story is, in essence, about the nature of storytelling, demonstrating the ability for authors to dramatically change and determine the perception of events while providing ...

Qualified women are entitled to be in the frontlines too. In January 2013, the United States military lifted its ban on women in ground combat positions, a policy that has been in effect since 1994 (FoxNews.com).

This paper therefore takes the definition of ground combat as the meaning of the word “frontlines” which was earlier mentioned. The 2013 decision generated many opposing opinions about the issue. Different factors such as physical strength, emotional complications, ...

In the eighteenth century, during the American Revolution War, there were two opposing groups in discord with each other, the Loyalists and the Patriots (Frank 58).

Question 1

U.S believed in capitalism. It was therefore ready to deploy its army to South Vietnam to fight the communist combatants who were out to occupy Vietnam (McMahon, 178). It was clear that acquisition of southern Vietnam by the communists would be of great advantage to the communist block and the U.S feared that the communists would defeat them in case of a war if they continue to acquire more states (Anderson, 26). Being a superpower, U.S had already lost some states to capitalists and was not ready to give up some more. They wanted to defeat aggression in Vietnam and build a ...

In the wake of 9/11, many new military advancements were created in order to fight a brand new enemy: extremist terrorist groups. Terrorism is defined as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents” (Jordan, p. 267). Instead of country fighting against country, the adversaries the American military face are smaller, splintered, and not affiliated with any specific government. They fight for an ideal, not for land, and the governing bodies of the countries in which they reside have no official political or economic ties with them. As a result, it is far easier for ...

The Legislative branch in particular continuously expands it power, which causes the tipping of the balance of power in governance.

Wars around the world can be traced back to a form of religion or religious expressions of difference. As the evolution of mankind has progressed, so too have the unique interpretations of religious elements that each population carries into the world. This study will produce evidence that supports the argument that each military engagement across the face of international civilization has been at the core, a result of religious ideals and the manner in which these philosophical differences are expressed.
Wilson (16) argues that the human race needs a means to explain and control the unexpected, which in turn creates religion. ...
