Soldiers, upon coming home from the battlefield, are regarded as heroes and are awarded with medals and achievements. However, these soldiers do not see these things as apt compensation for the things they have seen and done in the battlefield. Their lives which have been embroiled in active battle have warped their personality and view of the world that some fail to adjust to a normal life. Though some people exhibit more severe cases of PTSD, the cause of this can be rooted out as the result of their killing people and of seeing other people get killed. The ...

Although some are reluctant in showing their mental state affect, others are more heavily affected by the things they have seen and committed in battle. Noah Pierce, a soldier who ultimately ended his life due to his traumas incurred in his two trips to Iraq, is a vivid example of PTSD. Murder, whether it is committed in war as an act of defense, is a heaviness that will haunt the soldiers who do survive and return home. Noah Pierce, being described ...

The Response of the Victorian Churches to Charles Darwin’s Doubt

Pitch Contrary to the perception of the Victorian Era as one of the highlight of English Christianity and even morality among societies, the situation was not so behind closed doors. The people were beginning to question the Biblical inspirations and teachings based on Christian doctrines that had otherwise defined their existence and faith for centuries. Accordingly, the sources of doubt were twofold: there was a rapid development of biblical criticism, and the scientific discoveries were challenging cultural norms. Perhaps there was no original sin. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution presented an alternative for the European societies of the ...

He tries to go as far as possible with respect to what he perceives to be the will of God. This includes almost destroying his family in the process. In fact, it is only at the end that he finally reconciles with his family. He had been ...
