After World War Two there was a very small drop in the amount of GDP spent on military, but after that it leveled out at a pretty high amount. Due to the events such as the Iraq/Iran war, acts of terrorism, severe problems in the Middle East, and other areas in times of conflict. Keeping our soldiers armed and well protected is a priority, as it…

of the disabilities that these veterans have are a result of their service and therefore are new to them. This means that they have to relearn how to live a normal life again while dealing with these disabilities, all the while having no place to call home on cold nights. If being disabled and homeless were not enough of a struggle for them, “half suffer from mental illness; two-thirds suffer from substance abuse problems; and many from dual diagnosis.”2 These are very important facts because…

Paganism is an enormous religion. Like Christianity, it has many subsets within itself. This specific subset of Paganisms is the Norse Pagans. These Pagans focus themselves on Odinism.

Odinism is a life affirming religion. They value everything that sustains, promotes, enriches and enhances life. The end of life to Pagans…

advantaged parts of the world. Singer calls for much greater action, and a cultural shift in priority and attitude towards those suffering, no matter their proximity to the reader. While Singer’s writing is focused specifically on the 1971 Bengali Famine, the ideals proposed are applicable for modern situations as well.

actions towards abuse on women only get worse for example: Honor killing is more widespread and the religious extremists that partake in this are targeting female politicians, human rights workers, and lawyers. There is no one sane individual in this world, that would consider being a female in those conditions. The same type of control is similarly demonstrated in Saudi Arabia, where women are treated as life-long dependents, under the declared rights of guardianship of a male relative. Women…

For the North, African Americans were enlisted in the army and fought alongside other Americans, and for the South, African Americans slaves were “camp servants,” for their masters.

Roosevelt [FDR] died suddenly and catapulted Truman into the presidency. Truman had not been aware of the nature of Roosevelt’s long illness and knew little about crucial issues relating to the development of the atomic bomb, the increasing conflict with the Soviet Union and other wartime problems.

little deeper and darker. “We must make the sacrifice so the world will be a better place maybe we can survive it you taught us well. Just say the word and it can begin.” Hakeim turns around with a gun in his hand but he doesn’t point it at him. Hunter sits back with a start, his sitting in such a way he cannot reach his weapon readily. His first instinct is to react quickly and kill Hakeim but he lets him go on. “First may I call Solome?” he asks politely. Hunter apprehensive nods his head…

the Cumberland Gap where Daniel Boone started his journey to the West decades ago. I am proud to call myself an Appalachian-American. Still, Middlesboro, like many parts of Eastern Kentucky is not without its challenges. The once flourishing downtown of Middlesboro is lined with deserted businesses. The coal…
