The just war tradition is base in two principals: Jus ad bellum (justice of war) – this relates the reasons for war; jus in bello (justice in war) this establish what can be done and the amount of force that can be delivered during a war. Based on the just war tradition and its principles, a war can have a framework with moral and political viability. For instance, in cases of cyber warfare, the just war tradition has moral ground limitation. In the…

• Just War - a “just” war is one in which expected benefits of fighting a war must be viewed relative to the expected negative consequences and outcomes. • Requirements – o A just war should be a last resort after considering and utilizing all non-violent options to justify the use of force. o A legitimate authority can only wage just war. o A just war takes place in support of a wrong suffered. For instance, self-defense against an armed attack is justifiable. o Deaths and injury due to the…

Violence is also justified in war. Obviously, war tends to be very violent but sometimes people would say that violence in war has to have a limit. In actuality, there is no limit of violence in war. In the article “Hiroshima: Was It Necessary”, Doug Long (n.d.) writes about how there is no limit in war by using the bombing of Hiroshima as an example. Japan was fighting against the United States and had four years bombed Pearl Harbor. The United States fought back but Japan did not surrender.…

War has been a part of the course of human events since ancient civilizations began. From the expansion of the Roman empire to the Manchu fighting Mongol tyranny in China war has shaped how the world functions today. War is necessary for the human race, but many believe it does not conform to the moral code that all people should hold. War, despite the belief of some, is morally justifiable. To elaborate war is morally justifiable because it is necessary to maintain peace. For example…

In the Just War Theory, there is a list of reasons when and why it is okay to go to war, and kill in war. I believe that it is okay to kill in war due to the fighting for your own survival, fighting for the protection of others and what is stated in the Bible. When in your home country, you are forced to see you people living in harmony and peace, or see them perish due to the fact that you cannot protect them. George Orwell has stated that, "Those who “abjure” violence can only do so because…

Just War Theory is something I believe in. However, I believe some modifications may be needed in contemporary America. Snauwaert asserts it is somewhat of a misnomer to suggest the United States is at war with terrorism because terrorism is a tactic . Thus, Snauwaert suggests the United States is at war with the practitioners of terrorism. This is a dangerous suggestion. One must separate the cause from the effect. If a doctor treats the symptoms and not the cause of the disease, the disease…

The dictionary defines the word “blind” as the lack of perception, awareness, or discernment. Symbolism, irony, and foreshadowing is used in many ways by the author in her short story called “The Lottery”. Shirley Jackson uses these literary devices to emphasize the idea that people will follow traditions blindly if that was how they were raised. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a short story about a strange tradition. Once a year, the town gathers together and one member from each…

War is beautiful. War is necessary. We must fight because we are right, and the enemy is wrong. When raised in a nation that is free, these three statements will be echoed until it is time to be shipped off to battle. There is no argument or resistance, only a generation of young men that believe their right is not to be free, but to die in hopes that their sacrifice will bring freedom to those they love. “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen is a bitter contradiction about the common belief…

The Just War Tradition is like any other known tradition, this one has been passed down but it isn't just some hand-me-downs or grandpa's watch but a continuous argument for decades now. The article gives the long historical background on where the tradition originated from. Just War Tradition is also known as the Just War Theory meaning before the government could even demand soldiers to fight and survive for their lives there has to be justification. The theory goes far as the B.C. era and…

Assess the contemporary coherence of the just war tradition. Realists describe war as an inevitable outcome of the anarchical international system in which states interact with each other. Based on this premise, throughout the centuries, has been witnessed the flourishing of a tradition of thought focusing on the ethics of war: The Just War Tradition. Its central hypothesis is that the use of force can be morally justified, or in other words that war can be morally right. This view differs from…
