Dag Hammarskjöld

One of the greatest murder mysteries of all time occurred on September 18th, 1961. “Between ten and fifteen minutes after midnight on Monday 18 September 1961, a DC-6B aircraft crashed near the airport of Ndola, a town in the British colony of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), not far from the Congo border” (Williams, p. 3). Dag Hammerskjold, along with all 15 other passengers who accompanied him on his venture, died after the plane crashed in Zambia (Williams, p. 3). Dag Hammerskjold was the United Nations Secretary General who believed that in order for countries to become independent, he could use his capabilities as Secretary General to make the United Nations a force that worked towards neutrality through the assistance with non-aligned…

If you were to look up the word “nurse” in the oxford dictionary you would read something like “A person trained to care for the sick or infirm, especially in a hospital.” When reading that you would probably assume that the nursing field is as simple as its definition; however in my perspective nursing is a far more complicated, rewarding and very influential profession.

“Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for” -Dag Hammarskjold. This quote is saying that in light of loneliness maybe it will bring along something great. I feel this quote relates to Holden because his loneliness brought him to many realizations about his life and his future. Many people in the world deal with issues of loneliness, fitting in and growing up. In J.D. Salinger’s story “The Catcher in the Rye”, Holden deals with many issues…

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in late 1941 and the German and Italian declarations of war against the United States of America, Roosevelt and the Americans officially entered a state of war. After seeing the results of Germany’s invasion of other European countries and the attacks the Italian and Japanese made, he helped create a new world alliance called the “United Nations” with, initially, twenty-two states ("UN|DPI — OD|Dag Hammarskjöld Library: Member States|On the Record.").…

Accordingly, they attempted to contact these foreign agencies independently, for example, the USSR supreme leader Nikita Khrushchev, the UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld, neural states, or the Red Cross. It might be possible that they also wrote to Chinese and DPRK officials. Not surprisingly, almost all correspondence were either redirected to the U.S. or responded with platitudes not very different from that made by the U.S.…
