Conscription

Compulsory military service would be a positive addition of responsibilities to our citizen body and would result in a safer, more responsible, and more united country. A population of generally well-trained and active people will do wonders for our general health and allow for a stronger, more vibrant nation that utilizes the potential and experience of its citizenry. Public service creates a channel by which Americans of all educational vocations and backgrounds can unite behind a common…

Conscription is the enforced enlistment of citizens for military service. Conscription was used in both World War I and World War II creating a divide between the English and French Canadians. Majority of French Canadians did not agree with conscription in either war. They found that it would be both unnecessary and unsuccessful. In WWI many soldiers and politicians realized the war would not end quickly. People learned of the conditions in the trenches and number of casualties in Europe, which…

Advocates of a revived draft do make one good point: if the children of rich and powerful people could be forcibly sent to war, those people would tend to ask more questions about the war. But if the main goal of the influential is to avoid having their children put at risk, there is a more direct way to do so: get their children exempted from the draft or, in the unlucky case that their children are drafted, use their influence to get their children relatively safe postings far from the battle.…

of conscription. (pg. 111). The Derby Scheme was a system that required men to visit the enlistment office and attest to whether they would join the forces at a later date, but did not require them to officially enlist (Bibbings, 348). Livingstone visits the enlistment office and does attest positively, that he would be willing to enlist if needed, however, this seems to be a move to avoid the future possibility of conscription, rather than an actual desire to serve. In May 1916, conscription…

Propaganda: The Twisted Truth “War propaganda...twisted the truth and allowed for governmental control of people’s thoughts and viewpoints towards the war” (World War I). Used in order to display a positive image of World War I, propaganda was the government’s attempt to hide away the terrifying parts of war and to magnify the positives of it. Propaganda was used as a weapon against a country 's enemy, as it gave society a twisted image of the enemy and incorrectly displayed the war as…

For thousands of years people have struggled with accepting people of colour and their place in society. There was a big issue in Australia in the 20th century with accepting the Indigenous people into the communities in a country that had been invaded by Europeans 200 years earlier. In the years before World War One, British-Australians believed themselves to be superior to the Indigenous People of Australia, the Australian constitution excluded Aborigines by not regarding them as Australian…

David Laskin, a notable American journalist and award-winning author from Harvard University analyzes in his novel, The Long Way Home: An American journey…

I don’t think people shouldn't have to serve two years in the military. People might want to do something different in life. Others might have a problem or they can't hear, talk, see, or comprehend what people are telling them. There are people that want to become something big in life and not serve in the military. I don't want to go into the military i want to be a veterinarian. Some people don't want to be in the military. They don't want to leave their families. They might not like the…
