reading the brief leaves me wanting of more. General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, proclaimed in 2014 that, “It is not the war that has caused this. It is the pace, and our failure to understand that at that pace, we are neglecting the tools that manage us as a profession over time.” It also stems from many leaders deferring their role in the character development of the force to others, often lawyers. This is not to say Marine Judge Advocates are lacking appreciation of…

explorer, has resided in the penal colony for some time. The explorer, meanwhile, is a visitor, presumably from a more civilized, progressive part of Western Europe as the ruling Commandant gives the explorer special privileges as a “Westerner”. At the end of the story, the explorer leaves the penal colony, leaving the penal colony as it was with its unique justice system in-tact. If we read this story as a religious allegory, we can interpret the explorer’s departure at the end of the story as…

"No, comrade commandant. My wife sends me one every three months, and the next should arrive in March." Shaking off his paralyzing dread, his eyes followed the movements of the mail guard, who lifted a parcel from the floor onto the commandant's desk. Of small size, sewn in coarse cloth it looked inconspicuous enough. "With the latest mail a parcel has arrived for you, that is not conform to the usual gifts the prisoners are allowed to receive." Sergej kept a neutral face while his thoughts…

specifically needs to motivate followers to risk their lives, motivation is needed in other areas besides combat. Motivation is essentially anything that “provides direction, intensity, and persistence to behavior” (Hughes, Ginnett, & Curphy, 2014). Motivation is linked directly to performance and job satisfaction; the more motivated followers feel, the more effort they are willing to put forth towards the job, and this will likely make them more satisfied. Often times, leaders who understand…

Every person in the novel when around military men, especially the prisoners, had to address people by their number tattooed on people’s arms. Even the dead are known as numbers. The book states, “The child Tzipporah, J197242, lay silent in her arms.” This shows that the camps dehumanized people to the point that anyone, alive or dead, had to be addressed with a number, not a name. The number overtook the identity their names had. Filmmakers may argue that the numbers played a big role in the…

Philosophers have debated what the meaning of life is; people have also sought equality for centuries. In Kafka’s works, “In the Penal Colony” and “The Metamorphosis”, there is an emphasis on unquestionably following society’s rules resulting in flaws which accompany doing so; mainly injustice resulting from superior authority and the issue of existentialism which arises from being rejected from society, respectively. Kafka demonstrates this through an allegory of religion and the unfulfilled…

controversial topic around the world; I truly believe murder is wrong no matter what because of society’s moral code, sixth commandants, and desire for survival. Murder is considered one of the most serious criminal offenses in the moral code of our society. It is defined as the taking of a human life. Our society taught us that the concept of murder is very unjust; you should not be allowed to take a human life. We place great value on human life. For instance, ask fifty people in our…
