Peasants' War

In the history of war, man has struggled to analyze and understand conflict from various points of view. In the big picture, no one strategy or concept can successfully analyze a particular conflict for the mere fact that these concepts were developed with an eye on history. Having historical examples does not completely encompass all aspects of modern warfare, as no two conflicts are exactly the same. In this essay I will attempt to compare and contrast the theoretical war strategies or…

The Struggle for North America The seizing of North America by the Europeans is done largely without weapons. Of course weapons and warfare play a large part, but the Europeans don’t sail over and begin conquering their New World. European exploration began with the desire for trade and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both. These people had never seen anything like the Europeans and were mostly receptive to new goods to trade, and were willing to listen to…

Jealousy isn't just a thought, it's a war between your innocence and the shadow that consume you with hatred which results in uncontrollable actions that you never expect. Jealousy is from within your heart, people around you, everyone that you care, is part of the war. This war alway happens to all of us, young or old. Even if you prove innocence, it isn't going to stop the rise of jealousy, and there…

Schultz and Noe clearly knew what expanding on someone else’s territory would mean, violence but also if successful, a lot of new profit. The first notable casualty of war would be Schultz’s mentor and partner, Joey Noe. Losing Noe crushed Schultz, and it is believed that he was responsible for Arnold Rothstien’s death who was an associate of Diamond’s. Soon after, there was an attempt on Diamond’s life but it was unsuccessful…

First and foremost, I want to clarify that a paradox has two separate meanings. Firstly, a paradox can be a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true; and secondly, it is something, such as a situation, that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible but is true or possible. Both definitions, although close to each other are much different upon closer look. I argue that the gray zone is more in line with the second definition…

This essay will aim to explore the ways in which themes of societal breakdown and honour are defined through violence in both Ovid’s The Tale of Philomela and Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus . Violence is not used here as a single broad term, for in both texts there is clear delineation between masculine and feminine violence, and again between honourable and dishonourable violence.

Many of these young children walked over a thousand miles through jungle and dessert terrain searching for refuge from the war. Many did not survive. Thousands of these children wondered for years in search of safety, eventually finding refuge in a camp in Kenya miles from their homes. They became known as the lost boys…

The artwork was intended to vocalize the need to have peace (Onoja, 2016). Goya advised the provincial…

Sex, Survival and Samurai By Kirby Winslow War changes people and not just the those involved with the fight itself.

It can easily be considered as an antiwar film, but after a closer gander and a deep dive, one can see that…
