The United States and the Soviet-Afghan War In December of 1970 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan with a force of 30,000 troops in order to assist the communist government and setup a client state (“Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan”). This invasion marked the start of the Soviet-Afghan war, a long drawn out war due to the United States funding the Afghan freedom fighters who fought against the invading Soviet Union only to make the war longer and more expensive for them. The war would…

We want to do work on the ground and we want to spread the importance of education to people and children in the communities, to help them realize how important education is for their generation. Also, doing work on the ground, like building schools and…

The issue I will discuss is spies by Lewis H. Lapham. My whole life I’ve wondered if there are people who live in the shadows that gather information on our country’s enemies and even spy on the average citizen. I think every person should be concerned with being spied on it’s an invasion of privacy and breaks the rights we have as humans. It bothers me that there is a group of people that knows everything yet we only get told what they want us to know. The two main articles I will discuss are…

Al Qaeda Formation The name Al Qaeda was common in the Soviet-Afghanistan war training camps and it is translated to mean the base in the English language. This organization developed during the Bureau, becoming an organization of faith-fueled warriors rigorously working on an ideological program to protect the world’s evils to Israel and an America that was Jew-dominated. Osama used his managerial skills to establish this group as a business and obtained many of the finances from legitimate…

Humans were created to do good and given the ability to reason right from wrong. The gift of our conscience is a beautiful thing. It is unfortunate that in our world many humans fail to love and fall victim to the many evils of this life. I believe that humans are bad because they are motivated by power and thus they become blood thirsty to acquire and retain it. William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies shows that humans are malicious through the murder of Simon (pg. 202). Simon was the…

The killing of the Al-Qaeda leader, which is a Radical Islamic Terrorist Group founded in the 1980's by Osama Bin Laden, was a huge justice to the U.S. and other countries. Bin Laden posed a global threat to the countries where Islam is not implemented, he was responsible for the September, 11th attacks back in 2001. He orchestrated it, and had it planned for months, he was planning more attacks on the U.S. after 9/11 as well. (Resource Seven) The terrorist group Al-Qaeda knew they couldn’t…

Society’s Heroes There are many people today, that have done many heroic actions, but today they aren’t really called heroes like the ones in greek mythology. “Heroes” are just well well known people, because they did something important. Modern day heroes are important and impact society immensely, in ways people could not imagine. Heroes tell people that there are good people, who will do good things. Also heroes will impact the next generation, because children look up to people who are…

I believe that John Smith did not hang himself for multiple reasons. Why would a rich, famous pianist suddenly commit suicide in the first place? In the scene it showed a cord taken from a set of drapes was around his neck, and he was hung two feet above his piano stool. Steel wire was also ripped from his own piano and also his diary and wide open on his table. First of all, the first detail that does not fit with the suicide of John Smith is that he was two feet above the piano stool. It…
