World War II left devastation and human turmoil in its wake. However, not long after the last shot was fired in one war a new kind of war was born. One that had no bombs surging down from the skies, yet still instilled fear into citizens of several countries. A war with undeniable boundaries made up of barbwire and guards. Each side professing the other’s weakness and oppression; neither willing to act on their threats in fear of retaliation. This was the Cold War. A political war between the…

in U.S. history and more importantly in political affairs. It was during this year that the United States hesitantly entered the Spanish-American War. It took the dramatization of a sunken ship along with the romanticism of the Cuban people to convince Americans that the United States should involve itself in what was known as the Splendid Little War. Fast forward to 1941 and a vast shift in political ideals are evident. In his “Four Freedoms” speech given on January 6th, President Franklin D.…

If we look at Hector form the Odyssey, he did not question the morals of the war and if we was on the wrong side he just looked at it as though it was his destiny to fight in this war and against Achilles. We don’t hold the same values as ancient Greeks so we interpret their writings differently, they talks about destiny but not about the right and wrongs of that…

Ford Coppola are often considered two of the finest examples of contemporary anti-war literature and cinema, despite neither being explicitly against the concept of war as such, but rather, both opposing the bureaucratic absurdity of war. Catch 22 follows the absurd struggle of a Bomber Captain John Yossarian as he attempts to escape the tyrannical irrationality of bureaucracy in the US air force during World War II. Conversely Apocalypse Now follows the conjoint literal and metaphorical journey…

ways in which workers came together in order to achieve a common goal. In her book, Cohen focuses on the Chicago industrial working class and “how it was possible and what it meant for industrial workers to become effective as national political participants in the mid 1930s after having sustained defeats in 1919 and having refrained from unionism and national politics during the 1920s.” Employers would try to divide these movements, and it depended on the unionists themselves on whether they…
