Conscription

The Selective Service was created in the early 1900’s with the intent to draft men into the United States army in the event of future wars. When initially constructed, the draft was only open to men. Women were allowed to participate, but their roles were very limited. Over 100 years later, women have fought so hard to be recognized as equals in the military. They’ve come so far to prove that they are worthy. Every now and then, Congress poses the question, “Should women be required to register…

Through the many statues commissioned by Col. John Hicks and the pamphlet that he directed and wrote (published posthumously), civilians glean a better understanding of the city’s purpose in erecting a Chief Oshkosh monument. Rather than working with Menominee tribal leaders to determine the best public monument to honor Chief Oshkosh’s life and Menominee history, Chief Oshkosh’s story becomes a conduit for a movement that prioritizes beautifying public spaces rather than educating the public.…

The number of citizens who have served in the military has decreased by over a half since 1980. There is high hostility toward the military: In that sense, we should bring back the draft. It would be an honor to fight for The United States— Air Force, Marines, Army, or Navy. This Nation is One and I believe that he or she should fight alongside their Country. There are hospitals, Rural Legal Services, and more options that do not include having to hands on fight, however it still helps. National…

Power of Conscription After weighing the pros and cons of conscription, it is safe to say that the decision to implement conscription in 1917 was very ineffective. This statement can be supported by three major ideas, the main reason why conscription appealed to many wasn’t fulfilled, many that were involuntarily conscripted weren’t fully equipped and Canada’s reputation of a strong country was tainted by the internal conflicts that Conscription had created. The first reason why conscription…

introduce the proposal of conscription - the nationwide system of mandatory service to the national military. It was proposed but not introduced during the Great War; due to the severity of casualties on the Western Front as well as constant pressure from the British Government to sustain its 5,500 men needed every month to maintain its military capacity . During the periods in which the referendums had occurred, groups of people had formed strong opinions as to whether conscription should have…

There has existed a long term debate about what it means to be a perfect society and what one could practically look like. From the medieval age to modern times, philosophers and scholars have strived to bring out the models and notions in their work to define what a perfect society could be. Although we are not well-trained philosophers, as a group of intellectual college students, our section developed the plan of a utopia named Tecchromeonde, which is a practical society based on today’s…

People are conversing about whether to encourage or decline conscription. This is so odd and I think this should not happen. Our population is declining rapidly, if all our men are going to war how are we all going to survive, We are a community where men run the world. The modern day has come and our resources are obsolete. Hopefully conscription will not happen. This cause has been declined many times so I think it will be alright. On the other hand…

With all the events in Ferguson this past year, this has created a large argument on the militarization of police. Crime and police brutality is not escapable and there won 't be any way to stop it completely. Most would say that would hurt more than help the situation, on the contrary, militarization may help. The days when Andy Griffith’s biggest problem was dealing with the town drunk is gone. Now were dealing with billion dollar terror groups like ISIS and mentally insane people with assault…

Should Women be allowed in Combat? Woman should be allowed in combat for many reasons. First of all allowing woman into combat situations would make our military more effective by putting talent into sections that were frowned upon before, it would help our forces become more modernized, putting women into combat situations would not break tradition because women have served in every war since the revolutionary war, and would put ability above gender. Allowing woman into combat…

Have you ever thought that one-day females will be able to participate in everything? As the world continues to advance, the role of women in a society has become essential in most countries. In the past, it was rare to find women working in schools, banks, police departments, or media. Females can work these days in different careers including medical field, education, and military. They have the ability to use their own right to defend for their country. However, some people think that…
