Just War

Conflict or War Analysis Warmongering, power, conflict and war balance the view concept that is involved in the history of a country. Among many another concepts, democracy peace theory is used as a way to which the nations use it to solve their conflict most purposely for political gain. War is defined as an act of violence that is used by one group so as to compel their opponent to fulfill their will; this indicates that at this time the nation has no option other than engaging in war in order…

The complexities of the paradox of implementing human rights norms was highlighted in the case of Burundi and their local civilian agency. Meghan Foster Lynch explores the citizens of Rumonge, Burundi and the actions they took to promote peace in their local communities after the fall of an authoritarian rule. Lynch presents to the reader that this peace was not “predetermined,” but a by-product of consistent work, and the “logic of self and community preservation” (Lynch, 82). She believes that…

I am sure you have received various postcards and letters from me before. I am currently writing this while I hide from the Germans in our dug out. I am fine. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you about the ongoing events because letters are going to be censored, as they are very strict. Germans are constantly shelling us, sometimes during the day, and sometimes during the night. It is unbelievable how many of our soldiers have been diagnosed with shell shock. They dearly hold onto their possessions…

War changes men. In 2008, Creed Cascade, an author, once commented about war and its effects on men. He replied with, “...that [war] strips them of their humanity.” His words outline the forgotten repercussions of war on the men and woman that fight and are left to suffer. When they first joined the war, they are happy and ready for adventure and when they leave, they are left broken and transformed. In this example, Elijah Weesageechak slowly was stripped of his humanity the longer he served in…

Is it possible to have security without support?

Childhood, adolescence, and Adulthood and as they transition between these three stages, their support systems change with them. If one cannot find support from their own family, they can find support with someone else outside of family. Hema and Kaushik can’t find support from…

So, it seems possible that the Better Angels that Pinker speaks about, the neural circuits that enable Empathy, Self Control, Morality and Reason, may be currently in an interim condition, in the way that blue eyes are after ten thousand years. Pinker concludes that the greatest reduction in human violence coincides with the beginning of civilization. If the civilizing process that began less than ten thousand years ago has been enhancing these beneficial traits, their propagation may have a…

Galula’s first and third laws of counterinsurgency are based on gaining and maintaining support of the population. These concepts form the basis of U.S. COIN doctrine of wining the hearts and minds that is prescribed by FM 3-24. President Obama’s West Point speech and General Petraeus’s COMISAF guidance provide a framework that is based on a doctrine that has been greatly influenced by Galula’s first and third laws. Galula’s first law states that the support of the population is…

Hypothetical scenario; someone becomes the new President of the United States and they have an opportunity to inflict some violence by shooting missiles at a country which would result in many casualties, but would also end many severe conflicts. Would they do it? Most people would say yes if it meant benefiting themselves, while others have a different point of view. This social justice paper will be offering a different perspective on violence and how there could possibly be an alternative.…

Another large problem is that these strikes are secretive and lack legal oversight, which leads to us not being able to hold our leaders accountable. Drones are used in conflicts where war is not openly declared and authorized by Congress, allowing the executive branch to have virtually unlimited power over secret wars across the world. The CIA has yet to officially acknowledge its drone programs anywhere in the world, let alone describe the rules and procedures for compliance with US and…
