Ivan as ‘‘a middle-class man who lived with his family on an income of twelve hundred a year’’ (Chekhov, 2004). This tone set by Chekhov depicts the fact that the Dmitritch family household is one which is average. Though it seems like his family is just like the average family and there was nothing special, the protagonist Ivan ‘‘was very satisfied with his lot’’ (Chekhov, 2004). Nevertheless, by making an introductory opening with this statement, it appears less as a genuine statement as the…

To assess the validity of U.S involvement in the Vietnam War, the Just War Theory is used as a brief framework coupled with major scholarly discussions concerning the Vietnam War. Philosophers and historians over the centuries have shaped the Just War Theory to help give a clear cut guide to justifying International Wars with a significant formulation contributed by Saint Thomas Aquinas in his work Summa Theologicae. According to the theory, the moral justification of every international war is…

When Shakira shimmied her way onto MTV in 2001 with a steamy video for a slick, cookie-cutter dance-pop song, some people associated the Colombian singer with her American pop-music contemporaries Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. But the stylistic breadth of Shakira's music — elements of folk, Middle Eastern and traditional Latin styles over a foundation of rock and pop — gave her a degree of credibility the American teen queens lacked. What's more, when Shakira broke through in the United…

intent such as to remove a tyrant and force regime change. This is arguably what occurred in Iraq in 2003 and Libya in 2011. Not only does this contradict the notion of state sovereignty but also several just war principles. On the other hand, if humanitarian intervention were permissible as a just cause to war, perhaps the removal of a head of state and regime change can be seen as step that is proportional and necessary for the protection of individuals in that…

According to Aquinas, there are three criteria for a war to be just. The first criteria is that the ruler or authority of a nation must make the decision to go to war. This is because the ruler was chosen to make decisions that will benefit the whole nation and not just themselves. No private individual has the authority to declare war because they do not have the correct intentions. The second criteria for just war is that there must be a just cause for the war to be fought. This means that the…

In In Defense of War, Nigel Biggar argues that war can be a just means to correct acts of injustice taken by many countries, and that it is the duty of other countries to defend those who cannot defend themselves; just war, therefore, must be a humanitarian, defensive action. Biggar supports this thesis by first explaining the two basic principles of just war: jus ad bellum-- regarding the justice of going to war in the first place-- and in bello-- regarding justice in the course of fighting…

But I can overcome it, I just need to stay above the surface. Everywhere aches, from the sole of my feet to the hairs on my head. I'm slowly drowning, I need help! Immediate help.
