Bataan

the Congo’s unsafe, unsecure quality of life, and the constant struggling fight for supremacy, the Price’s have come to revive the broken souls of the Congo. They have come to achieve redemption for abolishing the spirits of those who died in the Bataan Death March, by shoving religion down the Congolese’s throats and washing away their sins in a foul smelling, mossy, green decayed, alligator filled river. Life in the Congo, however is similar to the united states in that the men have a feeling…

World War II was a difficult time for everyone. World War II happened roughly between 1939-1943. Some believe it wasn’t a real thing. The Nazis did a very good job hiding the fact that they were persecuting those who they did not believe were of the perfect race. Hitler was the leader of the Nazis and his presence as the leader of the nation made it possible for the Second World War to be such an insane ordeal and slaughter. Hitler was an exceptional leader; he had the people rallying…

Both Machiavelli and John Rawls wrote about war and conflict. Machiavelli’s theory was to use extreme measures to justify the means to an end while John Rawls, on the other hand, stated that a more humane and diplomatic solution could justify a means to an end. While both Machiavelli and Rawls make valid points with their prospective theories, I am choosing John Rawls because Machiavelli’s theory in my opinion is really using revenge to justify an action. Rawls theory has a more achievable…

He argues that in situations such as Adolph Eichmann, who was complicit in the Holocaust; Hideko Tojo, who was in part responsible for Pearl Harbor, the rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, and the bacteriological experiments on U.S. prisoners of war, the death penalty is necessary due to the immorality and inhumanity of the actions these men were responsible for. These actions, for most moral, able-minded humans, are heinous…

If you were to think about someone or something that had to sacrifice something you would probably think of a Abel, Abraham, soldier, a politician, or cop. A person to really think about is Orleanna Price. Orleanna gave up sanity by living with her husband Nathan, sacrificed her “normal” American life by going to the Congo, and she sacrificed her own life to take care of her children. When Orleanna was a young girl she was free spirited but then she married Nathan. Orleanna Price is a…

on islands, to provide backup for the Caucasians. The Caucasians weren’t discriminated as harshly as the African Americans were. Many Chicanos were placed in Europe were they helped their allies, others got sent to the Philippines in the battle of Bataan. Many of the Mexican-American soldiers were not segregated into their own units, but they were isolated at some points during the war. Many of the Mexican soldiers played a big part in helping the war with operating trains, and repairing U.S…

The suppression of other cultures under the dominant Western society in the United States is a common undercurrent of American history. White oppression causes various reactions within the Native American community, ranging from acceptance of assimilation to violent resistance. In Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony, Emo, the direct antagonist to Tayo, represents the idea of adopting the morally controversial ideas of white culture, and his actions are the product of the Western civilization’s…

Aboard the Enola Gay, the Superfortress bomber which dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima, a journalist John Carey stated, “Does one feel any pity or compassion for the poor devils about to die? Not when one thinks of Pearl Harbor and the Death March on Bataan.” This quote is a call for vengeance. The events of Pearl Harbor apparently justifies Americans to become bringers of death ourselves and bringing the U.S. to stoop to such a level. In such history, America allowed to use the sinking of the…

incredible amount of energy and a voice that can be heard two blocks away. She is my boyfriends neighbor. Their stories and life-hood are reflections of how they came to be the person they are today. Elizabeth Anasco was born and raised in a city called Bataan in the Philippines. She came from a well off family that never experienced the struggle of not having enough food or little money. However, they did have to go outside everyday to get water from a well for them to drink…

Ranger Rescue missions are not only technical in nature, but also demanding. In other words, it is one thing to plan for such expeditions while it is another to execute the strategy. Evidence provided by various institutions including non-governmental organizations confirm that liberation operations are more sophisticated than widely conceived. Consequently, there is need for adoption of tested and proved techniques, which not only limit the number of casualties, but also guarantee success in…
