Powder keg

I am a student at Sherwood Middle School. In Sherwood Oregon. Our class is debating on whether or not child soldiers should be given amnesty. Many child soldiers are drugged and forced into war. Kids who have been given amnesty have the chance to redeem themselves. Yes there are some child soldiers who have no remorse after war. But these kids should not be prosecuted. There are 300,000 child soldiers around the world. These kids should be reprieved. Many of these kids are forced into war.…

Europe during World War (WWⅠ). Out of the several causes of WWⅠ such as Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism (M.A.I.N.), Nationalism was the most influential which is shown through a series of events: The forming of Germany, The Balkan Powder Keg, and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. The first indirect cause of World War I which involves nationalism would be the overall formation of Germany. Nationalism spread throughout German-speaking areas and people fought to free land…

train and we soon started our journey. After traveling for some time, we arrived at a warehouse, where we had to pick up our supplies. Cush and I had the duty of carrying the kegs of powder, which was the worst thing you could carry. Anyways, we started to load the kegs of powder into our wagon. Because hauling the kegs of powder into the wagon tired me out, I sneaked into the back of the warehouse, where the temperature was cool. I looked around and spotted a pile of Yankee clothes in front of…

One saturday afternoon when I was 11, I went to Branson. I got my first Starbucks, rode my first roller coaster ,and my first Italian restaurant, also my first youth church trip! When I was on my way to Branson we stopped at a Grocery Store to get snacks when I was on my first youth church trip. We got to get whatever we wanted so I got Starbucks Mocha Ice Coffee. It was very good and I was already enthusiastic, content, and vigorous. Having coffee made me more vigorous, enthusiastic, and…

My first day of riding roller coasters. Over the summer, my family and I went to Silver Dollar City and I decided to face my fear. No, I am not afraid of roller coasters, but I am afraid of heights. While we were at the park, my dad convinced me to ride my first roller coaster. My dad, sister and older brother have been riding roller coasters for years, they love them. But, my little brother and I don’t really care for them. He doesn’t like them because he doesn’t like the feeling of falling…

The French Revolution was the result of a massive powder keg of anger in the French lower class that had been building for centuries since the establishment of Ancien Régime in the late 1400’s. Notably, there were two main long term causes that fueled the powder that would lead to the French revolution. These were extreme income inequality and the corruption of the French government. With regards to income inequality, an absolute monarchy built a strict class system that made it impossible to…

personally believe that nationalism cannot be the only cause, because militarism plays a big part in ww1. I believe this because the armies and navies greatly expanded due to militarism. One thing nationalism and militarism have in common is, the Balkan powder keg. The naval race was a principle that had to have a navy two and a half times as large as the second largest navy. I think militarism was the biggest cause of…

faxed said, “I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM.” It was wrong what he did. He should not have done what he did. He should be punished. Maybe instead of him killing two people and wounding one, he should have got help. Vester Flanagan later died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. He had claimed, the staff had mistreated him during his time there. He should have talked to someone if he was hurting and knew he was a ‘human powder keg waiting to go boom.’ There are…

Known as the “spark” in the “Powder Keg of Europe”, the tensions that have already been growing between Austria-Hungary and Serbia before the start of WWI, eventually led to the start of a war between many major powers of the world. This “spark” is commonly known as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and was murdered by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb citizen of Austria-Hungary and member of the Black Hand movement, a group…

Prison riots are caused by many issues, and cannot be linked to just one thing. There are several factors that one must look at is the crime rate within the prison itself. Also what is the ethnical diversity of the prison and what gangs are within? Are there any corrupt corrections officers that are abusing the prisoner’s? Narcotics and poor housing and poor meals can cause riots. So many factors come into play for such an issue. The biggest issues for violence with in the prisons are…
