Ethics In Military

Authoritarian figures are limited to what they can do because they must be able to react quickly. Perpetrators resist, fight, and try to kill anyone in their way in order to avoid police. It is the thought of the officer at that time to decide what is considered right during that time. Each case is different and must be handled according to the situation at hand.

Even though authoritarian brutality started year ago, different forms of authoritarian brutality still occur today. In the beginning, my primary concerns about my pathway was just how one can fulfill their necessary duties while still being a helpful and giving citizen.
