Despite claims that Schweitzer’s philosophies are perceived as autocratic and primitive by some to others his philosophy is a moral encouragement to other medical missionaries.

The War in Afghanistan is not considered sinful. The first reason that the…

principles, but ‘a regime of power that wages the destiny of the species on the success of its own political strategies’ (Evans, 2011, p.748). Although liberalism has always been associated with the idea of peace and security, it does not equal to pacifism since it was usually realized through violence and wars. Moreover, as we discussed in class, the liberal way of war is to ‘make war on life for the purpose of making life live’, which means that the liberals are using war as a tool to end…

arise from this same cultural context, the characters themselves exist in a point in Japanese history where this definition is certainly apt. All three of the members of the cast murder strangers in order to stay alive during wartime, during which pacifism and agricultural labor would be fruitless, and would likely result in their untimely death. If an attempt was made to place Onibaba in a cultural context that would relate it to the rise of slashers in the United States, one could consider…

used for an evil cause. One good example of such a revolutionary Catholic thinker is Saint Augustine, who introduced the idea of a just war into the general Christian doctrine, which was arrived at by interpreting scripture and the realization that pacifism, while ideal in a perfect world, was not possible in a sinful one. These ideas faced criticism - with many Christian branches breaking off as a result. However, the concept of a 'Just war ' became accepted and was later expanded and revised…
