Problem is, signal is pretty sparse so it may take some time to send these. From every picture to the crucial pages of the notebook, I had about fourteen images waiting to be sent, with the caption “Mr. Shufner is the killer! The back of the notebook had a different name, it had Ryan’s name on it. It also had a confiscated sticker on the back… did this get taken from him at some point, Ryan dropped out around the senior year so it’s possible he just never got it back. It’s starting to make sense, but it had me going for a long…

These are the most elemental just causes for war in the realm of international law and just war theory.…
War and conflict have been a part of the human experience for most of recorded history, and many scholars use the concept of just war to analyse wars in their own time and in the past, and to consider how to create long lasting peace. Just war theory forms the basis of much of international law today, and still can be used to analyse modern day conflict, such as the Russian Federation’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Just war theory in its most coherent form was first discussed by Saint Thomas…
affirmation towards the route on which her life treads (Moore 1). Moore employs this mantra as a way to exhibit the loneliness and melancholy of the speaker. The lyrics also feature numerous metaphors, each seemingly with no relation to the next. Examples include “it’s only half past the point of no return,” “[it’s] the thunder before the lightning, “[it’s] the breath before the kiss, and [it’s] the fear before the phrase” (Moore 5) (Moore 7) (Moore 15). Moore persists to confabulate on this…
Mayor would have been completely justified if he had rallied the town to immediately fight against the invaders according to the Just War Theory. A philosophy professor, Brian Orend, explains the six rules of the Just War Theory: just cause, right intention, public declaration by proper authority, last resort, probability of success, and proportionality (Orend 32). By looking through the lenses of the Just War Theory, we can determine whether or not the Mayor would have been justified waging a…

In most cases, the colonizers just arbitrarily declare their “legitimacy” to govern the colony and maintain this “legitimacy” through the use of military terror, just as Frantz Fanon depicted in the Wretched of the Earth “[the colonized and the colonizer’s ] first confrontation is colored by violence and their cohabitation … continued at the point of the bayonet and under cannon fire”(Fanon, 2). The natives never get the chance to make any decision. They are forced and beaten into submission. In…
