War Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

United States of America went into a war against Iraq early in the 21st century. It was with the claims of possible possession of chemical weapons by the Saddam Hussein regime. The actual facts never came forth.

However, this war proved to be one of the most expensive affairs United States of America had to confront. The causalities are too much more than those that were suffered in the Vietnam War. The killing of Iraqis on a daily basis is a normal event of the Iraqi society, and this can be owed to the overall miss adventure of United States of ...

I’m in the Princeton Art museum, in the exhibit “Weapons Throughout Time: Remarkable Instruments of Survival and Warfare.” It’s a small carpeted room where the AC creates a quiet hum over my head and chills my body. Glass cases lined with hatchets, spears, shields, and arrows surround me as my eyes dart around quickly taking in the deadly weapons enclosing me. I sip my coffee to warm myself, enjoying the sweet taste of creamer as it flows down my throat. My eyes finally focus on an arrow that was used by the Lakota Sioux in the 1800’s. Its ...

The federal bureaucracy of the United States (US) underwent various transformations since President George Washington came to power, during which it only included the Treasury, State and War departments. The end of the Civil War opened more opportunities for Americans to join the federal bureaucracy through the civil service system, which compensates the need to fulfill administrative reforms during that time. The civil service system imposed meritocracy, which meant that only the most qualified people could serve the federal bureaucracy of the US, as opposed to earning positions via patronage. Throughout the 1800s, the federal bureaucracy of the US ...

Gustav Stresemann is a name familiar in Germany not only because the man who owns it was its chancellor from August 1923- November 1923 or even because he stayed on as the country's foreign minister until 1929, when he died. Although needless to say these factors contribute significantly to his popularity, he was a man known to have stood up for his country at a moment when it needed people like him the most. After the First World War, Germany was in grave trouble. It had lost its international reputation, it was blamed for the start of the war, inside the ...

1) Athens and Sparta were the main city-states of Ancient Greece. Between the VI and V centuries B.C., they contended about the political and military domination over the entire Greek territory. The only feature they had in common was the fact that they were both “polis”, Greek city-states. However, Athens and Sparta were completely different in terms of their political, social and cultural systems. According to Laveck (2010), Sparta, also known as “Lacedemonia”, was founded in the XIII century B.C. The city-state Sparta was born through the merge of four Doric tribes. During the VII century B.C., Sparta started ...

In the mid 19th century, after the Second World War, Jews in the Arab countries faced the gravest ever case of human rights violation. The Arab regimes in the Middle East and northern part of Africa forced Jews to leave their homes or be held like political hostages. The Arabs came up with official statements that completely subordinated the Jews and threatened their civil, political, economic, and human rights. These actions contradicted the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Part II and Article2.1 of the covenant states that “each state party to the present ...

"No president since the founders has done more to shape the character of American government," this is according to Alan Brinkley in his outstanding biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States of America. The presidency of Franklin Roosevelt was marked with several ups and down during the early years. It is mainly because he assumed office at a time when the U.S. was undergoing through the Great Depression, one of the worst if not the worst financial crises ever to face our country. Roosevelt started his political career in 1910 after being elected in the ...

Our critical biography focuses on Joan of Arc, also nicknamed as “The Maid of Orleans”. She was born in 1412 in Domremy, Bar, France. A France heroine and brave national, Joan of Arc is famously known for the way she led the French army to victory over the British at Orleans, at a young age of 18 years old. Her lifestyle was more of that of a male personality. Considering she was a teenager then, she greatly achieved the unexpected. She was later captured after one year and was burned by the English together with her French collaborators as a heretic. Later after ...

Grave of Fireflies, or ‘Hotaru no haka’ in Japanese, is a powerful and compelling animated film which was released in 1988 (Ebert). This 88 minutes long film was directed by Isao Takahata with the animation being done by Studio Ghibli, which has created a name for itself for producing quality and acclaimed animations.

In order to ensure thatUSCYBERCOM is effective in its operations, there is need for sufficient communication from the US ARMY. This gives the force a direction on the key areas to focus on.

A Paradigm Shift in U.S. Foreign Policy.
U.S. foreign policy is directed by the need for homeland security and defense. It also seeks to protect its national interests overseas. Non-intervention in global affairs, while maximizing U.S. interests had been the constant factor in U.S. Foreign policy ever since the country’s birth. The United States interacted with foreign countries like France and Spain to counter the British, whom it distrusted for a long time after independence. Foreign relations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were also limited to expansion ...

“For Marxism, literature does not exist in some timeless, aesthetic realm as an object to be passively contemplated. Rather, like all cultural manifestations, it is a product of the socioeconomic and hence ideological conditions of the time and the place in which it was written, whether or not the author intended it so. Because human beings are themselves products of their socioeconomic and ideological environment, it is assumed that authors cannot help but create works that embody ideology in some form.”

In his 1994 book The Massacre at El Mozote, Mark Danner offers a clear description of the the massacre of hundreds of men, women and children by the El Salvadoran army, who were trained by American consultants and military advisors. He also provides excellent background and analysis of the political background that encouraged the massacre. At the time, the story of the massacre was covered-up, ignored or minimized by the right-wing anti-communist El Salvadoran and U.S. governments for political reasons. There were also practical diplomatic, communication and journalistic obstacles and mistakes which made the story ambiguous, opaque and hard to ...

Different cultural population that includes Muslims, Christians and the Jews inhabited the Palestinians land. Muslims were approximately 86%; Christians were 10% and Jews were 4% in the population.

Electronic Etiquette:

I do feel in many cases that people are not courteous while using cell phones or text messaging. Most of the people I know, or the people I see, continue using their cell phones for texting or apps while they are engaging in conversations with another person. Not only is this distracting, but also it is rude. If a person is speaking, it is common courtesy to give undivided attention to that person. I see many people go through cashier lines while chatting loudly on their phones, which is very rude to the cashier, as well as everybody within listening ...

I am of the opinion that the American Revolutionary War was a victory made possible by the responsibility of the colonists. A closer look at the American Revolutionary War would tell that it is for the colonists to win, despite the fact that it posed several disadvantages with regard to engaging in warfare against a very powerful enemy, the British Empire. One must consider that the colonists prior and during the American Revolutionary War relied much on the sheer expanse of the colonies in order to achieve victory over the British Empire. The ...

Art and literature have been prevalent right from the pre-historic times. There were cave paintings, which evolved and formed certain practices of art. In certain cultures, types of art forms became prominent, leading to creating a legacy of its own. When writing became a nomenclature, literature also surfaced in various forms. First it was in the form of religious books, history writing and then into various other ways. As the society evolved, ...

Whether happening on the American territory or abroad, the major wars did not leave the black society without hope for freedom and more rights. Although initially the hopes were minor, and the thoughts of completely equal treatment were unrealistic, the black slaves and free black people recognized that political rhetoric could be used as a basis for their fight, and it has been used successfully through times, gradually leading to the abolition of slavery and emancipation of the black people. While the wars had different effects on lives of the black people, these effects built up to become the defensive ...

In political science, there are three levels of analysis, individual level, which is people make policy, state level is where the state makes policy and the system level which is the international arena where behaviors are encouraged or discouraged (Dooley & Patten 337). The three systems can be applied to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. It was believed then that Iraq and Saddam Hussein were a threat to the peace o the United States and the world because it was alleged to support Al-Qaida and the 9/11 attacks.
When the system level of analysis is put into perspective ...

International Humanitarian Law

International Humanitarian Law
The International Humanitarian Law also known as the Law of Armed Conflicts or the Laws of War has rules that control armed conflicts. It controls the way war is conducted. The law seeks to protect people who do not take part in the warfare. International Humanitarian Law recognizes two types of conflict: international armed conflicts and non-international armed conflicts. A crucial distinction should be made between the two conflicts.
Non-international conflicts are covered in the Common Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocol II. Article 13(2) of Additional ...

Bob Dylan’s song uses lyrics about to the divine in his song ‘With god on its side’. The title is also the main hook of the song as well demonstrating the importance of god and the divine. The use of a main hook line and title with the lyrics ‘God Bless the U.S.A’ is used by Greenwood in his song with equal importance. Both songs appeal to patriotism and the divine however the difference is that Dylan’s lyrics are satirical and don’t necessarily mean what they say directly. Greenwood’s language is not satirical and the listener ...

The history about Islam has always been linked to the Islamic empire’s existence. From the beginning, Islam existed and spread in the form of a community whereby Islam was both a cult and a political order (Courbage et al. 344). Egypt, Persia and Levant were all involved in the transformation of Islam to the present state it is in today by the power of the Arabs. There have been differing views on how to deal with the history of Islam even though there are evident sources of how and why Islam was transformed from a cult to an acceptable religion. This critical ...

- Historical Synopsis
The Second World War of 1939- 1945 is classifed by many as the war that redefined the international hierarchy of nations as the war destroyed and weakened once dominant nations while some rose in dominance. Throughout the war, several critical conflicts had redefined the course of the war, and one of them was the Attack in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Attack not only signaled America’s formal inclusion in the war, but highlighted that the war was not just in Europe but also in the Pacific. In a surprise attack, the Japanese Imperial ...

Abortion rates and Education

The world has seen an increase in literacy level in the recent past. In the same light, the rates of illegal and lawful abortions are increasing day by day. It is, therefore, right to state that education levels do not decrease the rates of abortions procured around the world.
Abortion decisions are mostly informed by situations rather than knowledge of the consequences. USA has one of the largest learned and informed populations, but this has not prevented them from legalizing and increasing abortion rates. Sexual reproduction classes in schools and colleges have born less impact in reducing abortion ...

- As a man obsessed with aesthetic art, Hitler found it extremely complicated to understand the modern art, especially abstract art because of the exaggerated forms and shapes of the subjects.
- Hitler was a frustrated artist. His paintings were mediocre and not that good compared to other artists especially those belonging from the earlier periods. When he became a leader of the Nazi party, Hitler wanted to conquer not only the whole European land but also to dominate the European culture. Hence, by plundering the art museums of Paris and other countries, Hitler immediately started to create a new world of ...

Both of these poems convey the hardships endured by brave soldiers in war. “Dulce et Decorum est” by Wilfred Owen is packed with detailed imagery of the horrors that the soldiers of World War I experienced. Written in the first person point-of-view, the description of a man dying from poison gas is extremely terrifying and graphic. He writes, “If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood / Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, / Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud / Of vile” (21-4). These lines describe an awful scene of the death of a soldier. E.E. Cummings’ poem, “ ...

The Election of 1800 and the Civil War 1981-1985 are the two of the most important happenings in American History prior to 1877. The Election of 1800 was given a name The Revolution of 1800. They are significant due to the fact they paved the way to the start of the democratic traditions. In the present day, it can be hardly be entertained that the President is refusing to leave the office even after the failure in election, and this becomes possible because of the democratic traditions that were introduced in 1801 by John Adams 1. Further, this election has ...

Ideas on the role of the media in political conflicts have taken the form of advocacy in terms of mitigation that is based on agenda setting role of the media. In a sense, the media is regarded as the body that decides to place attention on particular political conflict thereby making it a matter of interest. Wolfsfeld, Segev and Sheafer conclude that the role of the media can be best understood from the perspective of developing an understanding of the implications of political factors. Later one can infer on the role of the media given the influences and dynamics in the ...

After years under the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, civil unrest at all levels of Mexican society culminated into a revolution in the beginning decades of the twentieth century. The Mexican Revolution broke out due to dissatisfaction at both the upper and lower classes with Diaz’s rule. A sham election in 1910 only exasperated this unrest. When it became apparent that Francisco Madero was poised to win the 1910 election, Diaz fixed the results and arrested Madero. Revolutionary groups that made up the competing factions of the Mexican Revolution answered Madero’s call for an armed reaction to Diaz. The ...

A review of the relationship between the church and state, especially during the medieval period, gives us an insight on the tug of war that existed between the two institutions and how both tried to win over the lives of people during that period in history. Furthermore, the relationship of these two institutions gives us an idea on how to understand Western traditional of government as a whole. From the 11th to the 14th century, Europe was in an uneasy state. These were centuries marked by conflict and warfare both within the kingdoms and outside the borders that a serious effect ...

Prior to 1910, film makers such as Hollywood were using archaic crude techniques to produce movies. It is interesting how this company struggled to advance its production techniques so as to meet the changing needs, tastes and preferences of the market. Film makers lucidly and dramatically developed a range of cinematic techniques for telling stories. Producers focused on division and classification of labor in the workplace, detailed planning and standardization and split-up of commencement from performance work. Various companies such as Hollywood continued to strive so as to own many production houses and respond to social and cultural pressures that ...

In answering the question, Joyce, you demonstrate that you understood what the quiz requires and respond adequately. Modern art (rap and hip-hop) among African-Americans reflects the oral narratives characteristic of African traditions. Like traditional storytellers in Africa, African-American rappers tell stories about the tribulations of the Black population and others issues through rap and hip hop music (Wood 2004). Stating that rap and hip hop are real art due the way they follow a specific artistic tradition from African oral narratives, Joyce says that the art enables the rappers to deliver their messages to subsequent generations.

The United Nation can be equated with peace and security, although its objectives are wider and entail promotion of human rights, social and economic development as well as self-determination. Nonetheless, the United Nation is the main collective security institution. The United Nation has a world-wide membership and various competences in security, peace as well as matching powers which entail the capability to make decisions on non-forcible measures as well as authorize various military actions that range from consensual pacification to full scale fighting.

The seminal epic which is attributed to the great Greek poet, Homer, delves deep into the heroic tales and in turn attains the stature of an immortal literary work which has continued to evoke the interest and awe of people from all across the globe since it got popularized.

Starting from the literary critic to a common man, everyone has been baffled by the sheer quintessence of the Iliad which has been hailed as the omnipotent human expression and documentation of the tales ...

The Articles of Confederation were indeed important instruments since they created a basis to form a government which included checks and balances, something which was very advanced for the time and notably absent in other countries. The innovative approach included a three tier government which gave certain independence to the states but at the same time, the system of President, House of Representatives and Senate was radically innovative since it allowed neither branch of the Executive or Legislative gain control. This is dealt with in the section in Chapter 18 of Perspectives of the Past particularly in the section on Thomas Jefferson’ ...

“America” is a poem written by Allen Ginsberg in the 1958. The poem revolves around the life of the speaker, who feels overwhelmed by life in U.S. Specifically, the speaker is dissatisfied with the level of capitalism in the country, which makes him admire his communist upbringing. He also conveys his admiration for Marxism. Although there are several literary strategies (put forward by different theorists) on the best means to interpret a text, none would be more appropriate than Michael Foucault’s in analyzing Ginsberg’s poem.
In his articles “The Archaeology of Knowledge” and “What is an Author?” Michael ...

Beginning with comparisons, we realise that both journals are a collection of articles that touch on politics and how culture has shaped democracy in various nations. When it comes to defining the milestones that colonial rule has moved from, the journals touch on feminism. This is most probably because of the fact that women are the main beneficiaries of colonial deliverance. They have always been a perfect example of how much fruit was yielded by those who fought for independence. The journals touch on critical areas where the events of civil wars and industrial revolution exposed the strength of women (Manalansan ...

In a way, it could be argued that money was one of the main forces behind the Revolutionary War. Although a lot of people think the Boston Tea Party stated the American Revolution, the story actually began in 1763 with the conclusion of the French and Indian War. That was when the British started taxing the Americans to recoup their losses. The Revolutionary War (1775-1783) lasted over 8 years because the number of combatants kept increasing and ultimately, both the Americans and the British paid economically, socially, and politically for it.

Why Did the War Take So Long?

Even after the Revolutionary War was officially underway, it began ...

In Facundo, Civilization and barbarism, 1845, the Argentine writer Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1810-1888) presented a smart, modern comprehensive interpretive study and understanding of their nation: its land, its people, its history and its political situation (Zimmer 131). The thesis proposed Facundo broad interpretation of sociological basis, the American man. Sarmiento national social development divided into two stages, "civilization" and "barbarism." The man, in his view, evolved from the simplest to the most complex. In its simplest stage the man was a being "wild" and more complex in their stadium should reach the state of "civilization". The "barbarism" was an intermediate stage ...
