Just like You

plays a very important role. Without a mentor, I wouldn’t know rather i’m doing something right, or doing something wrong. Your mentor should be someone you can count on, or someone who has helped you a lot throughout your life. Someone who is positive, and someone who is helpful. You should be able to work with and accept the advice your mentor give you. I’ve learned throughout the years so many things from the advice of Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Williams taught me how to better myself and step up…

Do you ever sit in class and have no idea what’s going on? Well, that’s me right now. I’m sitting in chemistry listening to descriptions chemical reactions. Why am I even sitting here trying to make sense of a subject that has no practical relevance to our lives whatsoever? Realistically, out of all senior chemistry students, who will actually use chemical principles on a daily basis? Most of us haven’t chosen a career pathway yet. The un-deciders, like me, hopelessly put effort in getting…

thinking and debating the age-old question “Is war ever justified?” or “Can a war truly be Just?” We all know wars are terrible and cause many deaths and problems, I also understand war is and should always be the last and final option to try in any situation. In this Essay, I will be presenting some facts and reasons to why war can be justified and what it takes to make a war just. I will be referring the Just war theory frequently and this theory refers so some basic guide lines to when war…

instance, as the Mayor is sitting with the Colonel to negotiate the terms of appeasement, his servant Annie is throwing boiling water on the guards. There were some guards that were standing outside on the patio behind Mayor Orden’s palace. Annie did not like them there because they could see inside to the kitchen. Therefore, she told them to leave. They would not leave so she boiled some water and threw it on them. Annie still had the means to resist. Even without weapons, Annie demonstrated…

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…

gains the ability to look back on past relationships, and to see the more light hearted, happier times, proving her stance on life as becoming much more positive and hopeful. Like in Sober, Moore’s speaker still fears the future and what it holds, so throughout Glitter in the Air, the speaker repetitiously pleads “have you ever…,” looking for a sign of affirmation towards the route on which her life treads (Moore 1). Moore employs this mantra as a way to exhibit the loneliness and melancholy of…

In most cases, the colonizers just arbitrarily declare their “legitimacy” to govern the colony and maintain this “legitimacy” through the use of military terror, just as Frantz Fanon depicted in the Wretched of the Earth “[the colonized and the colonizer’s ] first confrontation is colored by violence and their cohabitation … continued at the point…

Assess the Athenians’ argument and actions from the standpoint of pacifism and just war theory. Which position do you find most compelling, and why? Just War theory portrays a practical look at the morality of war in comparison to pacifism, allowing the opportunity to form international procedures and protocol in an attempt to control conflict. During The Peloponnesian War the Athenians offered a valid and in-depth argument on their views of justice in war, over time this has developed into…

Was I raped? Of course not. You voluntarily drove to that college party as a 17 year old. Yeah, I guess. But I was severely depressed. Okay, that’s true, but you know very well that you were crushing on him. That gave him no right to get me drunk and do all of those things to me. Well,…

be late,” Lisa called to me, pulling a cap onto her head. I was currently trying to look more like a guy who had grown up in a respectable home, instead of living in a shelter for the last few years. “Lisa doesn’t rush me, I almost ready.” I pulled my own green cap onto my brown ponytail. I looked at my right-hand man or woman. She was dressed like I was, in a simple t-shirt and jeans. “We still look like thieves, don’t we?” I asked, trying out an innocent look in the mirror. Oh god, that was…
