Humanities - Gallipoli World War I, also called First World War, originated in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. In 1915, during World War I, Gallipoli was the place of a series of battles that took thousands of lives and lasted eight months. The Gallipoli plan, the life in the trenches and the remembrance and commemoration of Gallipoli all played a significant role in forming what we now know as Anzac Cove.

Even though a concert-balance strategy may prove cost effective, may increase cooperation among nations, and allows the United States to retain its world leadership role, I disagree with the author’s conclusion. These benefits will be short lived as long term they are not sustainable, because of cultural and ideological differences, different economic and political objectives, and the rate of leadership change over.

What I discovered, in time, was that helping others is not just a fulfilling purpose, but a moral responsibility. Indeed, medicine is the most appropriate career path for me, the one best suited to me intellectually, emotionally, and otherwise. In my high school years, I worked at my local medical center, rotating among different departments including emergency, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and radiology. Just as I sold popcorn for Boy Scouts and had to learn to deal with the…
