In the Just War Theory, there is a list of reasons when and why it is okay to go to war, and kill in war. I believe that it is okay to kill in war due to the fighting for your own survival, fighting for the protection of others and what is stated in the Bible. When in your home country, you are forced to see you people living in harmony and peace, or see them perish due to the fact that you cannot protect them. George Orwell has stated that, "Those who “abjure” violence can only do so because…

The early Egyptians revered many deities, one of whom was the goddess Bast. Bast was the deity of cats, reproduction and childbearing. Bast was the child of Ra, the sun god. Her duty was to shield the home from malicious entities and maladies that primarily involved women and children. Originally, Bast had either a leonine head or one of a sand cat. During the New Kingdom (16th-century BC to 11th century BC), Bast became associated with the domestic cat. The Egyptians revered cats because of…

Many see our lives as a book, a tree, or even a Rubik’s cube, but personally I think life is more like the marvel franchise. While there are various movies that are central around a specific character, each story overlaps which ultimately become the avengers. While you can either be like Iron Man—the artist who made his own designer suits, Captain America—the underdog that proved everyone wrong, the Hulk—a nerd who has some serious anger issues, Thor—the all-around athlete who has major body…

The technological advances made during WWII were only half of the spectrum. As a branch, we developed effective strategies to fight and win wars. Of those strategies, the most important was Operational Security. If you recall, the VT-1 fuse was kept highly secret to give the Soldiers an advantage. To this day, we still focus on protecting our secrets and ensuring that we aren’t sharing too much information in order to maintain those advantages. The modern issue that we face as not only a branch,…

Video games are one way that the media presents violence, and this is very serious because many of the people playing these games are children and teenagers. This group of people can be very easily influenced by the images and situations that are shown to them by the media, and they might believe whatever game-makers say about violence in the messages included in these games. Many people have already brought this issue to public attention, and some games present violence more severely and…

In her dying moments, Dido curses the Roman people by saying, “And from my bones may some avenger rise up to harry the Trojans with fire and sword, now and whenever we have the power…may they ever be at war”(Virgil Book 4, 728-732). The avenger she speaks of is very likely meant to be an allusion to Hannibal, which creates another strong link to real world events. To add onto this, In Book 1, Virgil’s description of…

Jurassic World – posting a three-day opening total of $204.6 million, becoming the biggest weekend opening of 2015.
