The final book in Butler’s Lilith’s Brood series is Imago, a word which initially brought to my mind imago dei. However, a more interesting connection might be in the biological definition of “imago”. In this framework, “imago” refers to “an insect in its final, adult, sexually mature, and typically winged state” ; the imago stage is the final one before metamorphosis is complete. I wonder if Butler had this idea in mind when naming the last book in her trilogy; she certainly engages many…

The concept or theory that has been the most informative and meaningful to me in helping me have a better understanding of ethics and humans rights in global politics is the Categorical Imperative. The Categorical Imperative states that “people should be treated as ends, never a means to an end” (Amstutz 74). Meaning that if intended result is moral, then the process in achieving that result should also be moral. I’m not a user of people and I wouldn’t myself use people as tools in order for a…

North Korea, the country whose leader is now referred to as “Rocket Man” has held a oppressive regime for more than seventy years, and now thinks that it can threaten the UN and its members. The country is and has been threatening the United States with not only ballistic missile but now they also threaten with Hydrogen bombs (Winsor). US government officials claim that they have tried to negotiate with North Korea, but the foreign officials refuse to listen (Winsor). While President Trump’s…

Terrorism is defined as asymmetrical warfare using unconventional methods of wars against the US and Western allies wrote many specialists. Fighting terrorism required many means among others. The US and its allies are embarrassed of systematic use of military force against the modern terrorist organizations. First, in international affairs and politics, military forces of a country fights its counterparts of other countries, so it appears for US authorities illegal to use the military against…

Marburg is an infectious virus that hinders the lives of many people, often occurring in the most rural regions of Africa (35). The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and “Stalking a Killer” by David Quammen both explain Marburg’s severity, among the other filoviruses, and the proper precautions that occurs when handling this agent. “Stalking a Killer” is an article that touches on Marburg and the different types of Ebola; it tells short accounts of infected victims. The Hot Zone is a study about the…

Hanford sits on a site in Southwestern Washington that is approximately 586- square miles of desert. Hanford began in 1943 building nuclear reactor plants to produce plutonium for the bomb that would end World War II. In the mid 1800’s according to the Hanford’s history site, the War Department decided to locate the Manhattan Project to this part of Washington and kept the work of developing the atomic weapons secret. So, all residents of Hanford and White Bluff were told to leave, given a…

There has been great tension between the US and North Korea, mainly between Donald trump and Kim Jong Un. There has been many words thrown back and forth between both of these high powering officials. Kim made a television statement saying that Donald Trump was “mentally deranged,” and in response Trump said that “Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!” Now, there is even more tension between both…

frequently seen form of modern warfare is asymmetric warfare/conflict, which is a result of armed conflict between parties with unequal military position. Within an asymmetric warfare, traditional jus in bello principles are questioned on their application to each side of combatants and noncombatants based on the uneven resources and military advantages. In this essay, I would like to compare and contrast two different arguments regarding jus in bello principles in asymmetric warfare. In his…

Before the arrival of the airplane, warfare was conducted almost entirely by a country's infantry and navy. Up to this time in history, aerial warfare had played no significant role in military strategy. Balloons had been used for observation and propaganda distribution during the Napoleonic wars and the Franco-Prussian conflict of 1870-1871 (Balloons in the Military). The airplane had also been used in a limited role for bombardment missions during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912 (Wilkin).…
