In the following I will summarize Socrates ' discussion with Meno: whether virtue can be taught. The argument begins as Meno asks Socrates whether virtue can be taught. Socrates answers by reminding Meno that Meno 's own countrymen, the Thessalians, have recently gained a reputation for wisdom, due chiefly to the rising fame of Gorgias. Gorgias, Socrates says, has taught people "To give a bold and grand answer to any question you may be asked, as experts are likely to do." Athenians, on the…

On December 7, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US Naval Base Pearl Safe place (for boats) in Hawaii, using bombers, torpedo bombers and midget submarines. On December 8, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his "Fame (for something bad) Speech" to American people (who lawfully live in a country, state, etc.), informing them that this happened even though the US was in the middle of talks to keep peace with Japan. That same day, with government-related approval, America…

Pearl Harbour attack was a great accomplishment of the Japanese Naval Aviation force at that time. Each of the perspectives carries its own merit, but the one that strongly support most is that Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was a great success. All quotes support that it was a Japanese success. Michael Slackman, a consulting historian to the U.S. Navy, described the attack as “almost textbook perfect”.8This perspective is similar to that given by book Target: Pearl Harbor (1990). Gordon…

people, educated to report on serious topics, made such blatant fun of the death and suffering of so many? It was “childish glee”, but how did they not see what they were doing would affect so much? I wonder how someone could expect a ship hit by a torpedo to be without casualties. What had they missed when they first heard the news of this strike? They hadn't missed anything, in…

The entrance to the fjord was equipped with ant-submarine barrage and the Tirpitz itself had anti-torpedo nets. This didn’t deter the British from sending six experimental X-Craft (midget submarines) that each towed another vessel for the attack. Operation Source lasted from September 22nd to September 28th of 1943. Three were designated especially for…

children. In his youth, JFK led a privileged life, attending multiple private schools and spending summers in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. After studying at Harvard University, 24-year-old JFK joined the U.S. Navy, where he was given command of a Patrol-Torpedo boat. Later he would be awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroism after helping some of his crew. His brother, however, eldest brother would tragically die when his Navy airplane exploded in August 1944. Kennedy’s father had hopes…

They used to be broken down into five daring groups named the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs), the Raiders and the Scouts, the Office of Strategic Services Operational Swimmers, and the Navy Underwater Demolition Teams (UTDs), and the Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons. These five daring groups are now put together into one, even more extreme group. And that is the Navy SEALs. The Naval Demolition team was formed with two officers and 17 enrolled men. They commanded by Lieutenant Mark…

Harold’s eyes slowly start to flutter open. His blue eyes search around the ground for something he knows that’s not there. His tummy grumbles in dissatisfaction. He slowly gets to his feet and takes stock of the situation. He glances to the east and he sees the sun starting to slowly work its way up in the sky. If he wasn’t homeless and stark raving hungry he would be happy, the sky was a perfect blue and not a cloud in the sky. The early morning rush hour has started where people start to go…

Throughout the course of history, mammals have evolved attempting to adapt to their changing environments. Since the world is continuingly changing, mammals needed to also change their habits and adjust so that they may continue to thrive and live. Three exemplary mammals that adapted so that they could exploit aquatic environments are the Orcinus orca, a cetacean, more commonly known as the killer whale, the Trichechus inunguis, a Sirenia, more commonly called the Amazonian manatee, and finally…

War has always been a controversial issue in the United States. For a war to get public approval, the government has to successfully justify the war and lay out a clear plan for its quick and honorable end. Most wars have been justified as being for the defense of the United States or its interests. Prior to and including World War II, if the President decided that war was needed, he would ask Congress for an official declaration of war. This process is enumerated in Article 1, Section 8 of the…
