The Fight For Peace
There are so many different perspectives people can take on the overall idea of war. Is it wrong to go? Is it right to send loved ones into that type of danger? Is it all worth it? War is a subject that brings up a lot of controversy, because of its ability to unite a country and tear apart civilization. I believe that war is sometimes necessary to allow a nation to thrive, only if it is the only option left, because I feel the action of war must be taken in order to protect and provide for the country. I see war as a last result technique, because the nature of it is very risky and can come with some serious consequences. War is made up of battles, battles occur because of armies, armies are made up of people, and people …show more content…
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech “Declaration of War,” displays the idea of looking out for the future of the country rather than the present. The only way for a nation to truly succeed is by protecting it in a way where nothing can bring it down, because it is better to be prepared and stand up for the country, rather than being unprepared for a life threatening attack. Roosevelt is able to display the idea that we as a nation need to be able to defend ourselves, because “our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger” if we do not learn how protect the land we call home (Roosevelt 2). By linking a common interest of the public, Roosevelt is able to unite the nation together and provide a unified bond between the people and war into believing that a “country is worth dying for,” if it is done for a reasonable purpose (Reagan 2). The art of war is sometimes necessary due to extreme circumstances that occur around the world. Even though war is very violent and takes millions of lives, it is an action that must be taken in order to ensure the “safety of [a] nation” (Roosevelt 2). When it comes between the choice of living an oblivious life, free of outside situations or a life that is …show more content…
I believe that when a country chooses to go to war they should only go as a last resort, because the conflict of it can make or break a country. When a soldier leaves for war they experience events “that [they] won’t forget,” whether they are positive or negative a soldier will always remember the significant incidences that had occurred during the time they served (O’Brien 33). War leaves a psychological impact on civilians, because it has the ability to change a person for the better by putting an individual’s fullest potential to the test of surviving. During a war people will come to a point when they feel “more alive than when [they] are almost dead,” because the struggle for survival makes a person’s physical awareness heightened to a point where their adrenaline is all they have left to rely on (O’Brien 78). The art of war creates unimaginable situations that can awaken human qualities that would usually lay dormant. War has the ability to show a person who they truly are, because it allows someone the opportunity to acknowledge their undiscovered talents by producing an entirely new person of themselves from a battle within. During a violent conflict “the presence of death and danger has a way of bringing [one] fully awake,” because when closer to death human instinct kicks in the greater desire to live (O’Brien 183).
