Terrorism is inevitably not a deprived man’s use of power. Terrorism is the illegitimate use of politically motivated violence or threat against the public or state. Although nations can justify war, they can hardly justify terrorism. According to the just war theory, war and terrorism are different. We cannot categorize terrorism as a war. Terrorism is detrimental to the society as it dislocates peace and leads to loss of innocent lives (Smit, 2005). It is a threat to national security, economic and social development. Though the world may not be pretty, vehemence is not the answer. No religion ...

A peace officer is a constitutional officer who is under an obligation to uphold the tenets of the constitution and have a high moral standing. Bluntly put, the ethical world for peace officers is quite complex. Besides the moral standing expected of them in ensuring that they are persons of character who are governed by universal ethical duties as encapsulated in the Six Pillars of Character, they are also subject to professional ethical standards that govern the profession. Since they constitute public officers of employees, they are also bound by a wide set of principles that avail an overarching ...

History

America in the Great War The start of World War I (WWI) is most often marked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian Black Hand anarchist. The Archduke was to have been the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact, the circumstances that led to the war began many years before, due to forces of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism within the countries that would become involved. Schuman (1953, p.283) explains how throughout history nationalism grew from conflicts and wars against “alien groups.” Alien groups are groups of people ‘different’ from the majority population.

The recent events narrating the doves released by Pope Francis to commemorate praying for peace for Ukraine being attacked could mean bad omens in ancient Greeks . Bird omens were revealed to be a serious field of study for ancient Greeks due to the reason that “in the early mythology of Greece some of their gods and goddesses were believed to have been birds. Birds, therefore, were particularly sacred, and their appearances and movements were of profound significance” .

Introduction

In most discussions in International Affairs, it is common for analysts to blame the cause of war on “bad” and “aggressive” states. These are typically, nations that are either totalitarian in outlook or ruled by a dictator who declares war without much sensitivity to the implications of the war on the broader group of stakeholders. Therefore, the central theme of preventing wars in the world is to create a family of nations that are democratic and this is seen by many as the only way of preventing all out wars and promoting peace in these countries. This is to ...

Images in Nature

Henry David Thoreau created a masterpiece in his seminal work, Walden. The book is filled with rich imagery and spiritual insight, and it is just this combination and collaboration of elements that gives the book such appeal. In the tenth and eleventh paragraphs of the second chapter, “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” Thoreau reveals a very profound insight through the imagery of Walden Pond. The focal point of these two paragraphs is the pond. He describes the pond at certain times of day and of year with a fascinating level of description and almost haiku-worthy sentiment. ...

To avoid joining with other fellow soldiers in war, many of these conscientious objectors changed their career paths to ...

History reveals that dynastic authoritarian governing had many challenges in most countries where it was exercised.

China for a long period was faced with wars, bloodshed, and conflicts because of the dynastic ruling, people killed each other in order to succeed a power. The succession alternated from competent rulers to incompetent ones and vice versa, and the government was marred with corruption, ...

“The Cask of Amontillado” is a story of revenge told in the first-person point of view. Montresor, the killer, narrates in detail the crime he committed fifty years ago against Fortunato for “insulting” him.

This is the first hint to the complexities of the character of Montresor which, as the story progresses, contradicted then interestingly intertwined with that of Fortunato’s that in the ...

Promoting democracy is not a new phenomenon to many countries. Developed democracies all over the world appreciate the significance of promoting democracy because of its importance in developing foreign policies.

John Lennon

John Lennon is one of few contemporary artists who only turned to consistent political activism only in the early 1970s after the break-up of The Beatles (Fisher & Flota 125). The enduring legacy of his work included the song “God”, wherein Lennon wrote the lyrics “the dream is over”, which meant that the dream of the gurus, the hippies, members of The Beatles band, or any other supposed savior had ended. The meaning of the term “dream” in the song refers to the belief in the value of countercultural protest for its own sake (Fisher & Flota 125). Lennon addressed political ...

The conflict in Sri Lanka started about three decades ago when minority Tamils took weapons against the government of Sri Lanka. But the spark of this fire had started in armed conflict back in 1983, with the Black July riots that had claimed the lives of thousands. In the mid 80’s, the LTTE (Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam) took control of the Northern part of Island and crushed their rivals. The main cause of this problem was ethnicity. The Tamils of Sri Lanka were culturally different from their other country parts. They were different in terms of language ...

The impact of colonialism can be seen in major processes like political structures of countries in North Africa. This is experienced through various forms such as political fragility and instability. The idea of forming the state came about when movements were formed for identification between people and ruling bodies. Democratic ideals have led to rifts dealing with identity. Lack of known common identity weakens bonds leading to disunity. This results to failure of structures used in solving domestic and foreign problems. Also, the right to self-determination between rulers and the ones being ruled in some situations is wanting. Due ...

The treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. Benjamin Franklin had insisted on the recognition of American independence by the British Empire. He had also refused to consider a peace separate from France, which was America’s great ally. The insistence was because he had rejected informal peace overtures for a settlement by the Great Britain, which would have provided a settlement for the thirteen states with some measure of autonomy. The cause for the recognition of the independence of America was due to the war between the Great Britain and America, which had lasted almost seven years. The ...

Courage

Winston Churchill in one of his eloquent speech once declared it that; courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

A lot of scholars have stated quite inspiring and captivating quotes about courage (Broder 3). So, how ready are you to stand up and speak even in front of most feared men? How ready are you to sit down and listen to that insignificant person in ...

The Oslo Accords are a set of agreements signed between the governments of Israel and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Oslo in the year 1993 to build confidence and create trust between the Israelis and Palestinians and maintain peace in the region.

Conflict and war have over millennia, shaped human civilization. While armed conflict has a role in ensuring peace and stability, its power to achieve this purpose has been heavily undermined by the proliferation of military technology/weapons (Lyons 74). It is, therefore, imperative to re-invent the role of war in the modern world if the world has to move away from the ever-growing costs of war. It has become an inescapable and inalienable part of the human condition. War, which describes organized and lasting armed conflict by state and non-state parties, characterized by extreme destruction of property, violence and death. ...

Mediation is word used in a broad spectrum. It is often said for a person who mediates; peace of mind is necessary. However, the mediation and peacemaking is interrelated to one another.

Mediation can be between family members, between colleagues working together and on broader perspective between countries on diplomatic levels. The role of mediator is acknowledged worldwide as disputes ...

English 126 Critical Thinking

Eckhart Tolle in Chapter 2 does a deep analysis of what “Ego” is, how it relates to our possessions, to our spiritual life, to who we are and how we live our life. Throughout the chapter, he explains how the Ego develops since early ages through the word “I” and the possessions that we begin to relate to ourselves as “mine” (20). We develop our Ego through our possessions, and we confuse that with who we are, with our identity. It is not until we recognize who we are not that we can see who we are. A great ...

Analysis of a World Text

What is the main theme of the play? First performed in 411 B.C., Lysistrata has now achieved “a fairly permanent place in the modern theatre” (Robson 192), although in the past it was often censored for what Harsh calls its “low comedy” (292). The main character’s name – Lysistrata – is one that was given to girls in classical Athens, but, like most names, it has a meaning. It means “Dissolver of Armies” (Tritle 59) or “Disbander of Armies” (Henderson 35), and it seems fitting, therefore, that the prevailing critical consensus is that Lysistrata is about peace: Tritle even dubs ...

There seems to be a consensus among scientist in regards to liberal democracies and the peace they seem to bring to the world. Many would say that this liberal peace is just a transitory state of things, and the perpetual peace is just an idealist fantasy. Others would hold that there have been liberal countries that go to war with each other, or that have a warlike attitude towards illiberal countries, casting doubt about their peacefulness. International Relations Professor Michael Doyle finds that the problem resides on how liberalism is conceived in the first place. This work will first ...

Prince of Peace

The term prince of Peace came about in the Old Testament in prophet Isaiah’s prophecy about the coming Messiah (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus is depicted by Isaiah as the giver of inner peace to all who will embrace and believe Him. In the New Testament, Jesus’ qualities as the Prince of Peace are seen throughout his ministry. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful (John 14; 27, NRSV). Jesus’ main purpose for coming to earth was to make peace ...

Locke, like Hobbes, considers the individual as the basic element and treats the state as a result of the social contract between individuals, concluded in order to stop natural condition. The teaching about the natural state does not act as a theory about the appearance of the state, about how it really occurred, but it is a theory that explains what the state is, and thus legitimizes the state. However, Locke has a more moderate version of the notion of the individual and the state than Hobbes. Hobbes thought that since people have the same rights and seek to ...
