Army Training Camp Analysis

Decent Essays
This picture shows me as well as a couple of my friends getting camouflage face paint at my 2nd grade birthday party. Just like every other kid's birthday party there was a theme. If you didn't have a theme back then, your party was lame, so mine was Army Training Camp. Unlike most parties though, with simple invitations, a few themed banners, and a classic game of pin-the-tail on the donkey, mine was legitimate. And by legitimate, I mean the most accurate portrayal of a soldiers experience during training camp, without the explicits obviously.

Grigg states that boot camps are an example of an “behavior modification” industry which is that they change the behaviors of an adolescent by using methods that have positive and negative effects. Grigg notes that the WWASPS(World Wide Association of Specialty Programs [and Schools]) lock children in dog cages and teens gagged with nooses around their neck.

Due to my ignorance toward worldly events, I have lived with peace for most of my life and have never really heard of many recent tragedies until the terrorist group, ISIS, appeared, and even so, the news just comes and gos. As a result, learning about such an inhumane way of life from a very recent time has completely blown me away.
