Essays on Wartime

The story of any war, and the story of defiance to Fascistic Germany in particular, is complex and mixed. A lot of true facts are hidden, suppressed and misrepresented. As all myths are growing in the telling, the history of WWII might also be greatly overwritten. Maybe due to that, the events that happened during the Second World War are told differently by different historians. John Keegan is a Churchillian who lived under the leadership of Winston Churchill (John Keegan 91). So, he may tend to exaggerate the importance of the British Prime Minister during the WWII. He believes ...

The Armenian Genocide is one of the vigorously contested incidents of mass murder in the 20th Century. The Armenian Genocide is alleged to have been the Ottoman government’s systematic extermination of the minority Armenian population. This occurred in the historic homeland of the Armenians which is within the territory of present-day Turkey. In spite of the many claims, the Turkish government denies it was a genocide. They claim it was a war which involved the mass killing of Ottoman citizens including Muslims and Ottomans. The Turkish government also claims that the number of Armenians who died in the ...

Karl Bendetsen who was an army major during these times gives us a clear account of what transpired in the camps that the Japanese hostages were being kept after the president had directed that they be held there. Americans were dreaded as a security hazard. Succumbing to terrible guidance and famous notion, President Roosevelt decided to bring forth an official request in February 1942 requesting the migration of all Americans of Japanese parentage to inhumane imprisonments throughout the United States. Departure requests were posted in Japanese-American groups giving directions on the most proficient method to agree to the official request. Most ...

Determine whether you think there are such universal moral requirements, and defend your answer in a well-argued three-page paper.

Lenn Goodman is correct that by modern legal and ethical standards, certain actions like murder, rape, genocide, wars of aggression, use of weapons of mass destruction, and slavery are always wrong. To be sure, they were widely practiced in the past and still exist in the present, ...

Norman Bowker symbolizes the alienation that veterans of the Vietnam War felt within their community, consequently, this alienation illustrates the struggle they faced to be integrated back into the society.

Norman Bowker, a veteran who returns home, feels alienated from the other men in his hometown. “Speaking of Courage” chronicles the alienation and remoteness he feels in his hometown; though a deep desire to tell his story, he refuses to talk to Sally “… there is really nothing he could say to her” (O’Brien 133) as they both come from different worlds, one of war and the other ...

Introduction

American history shows that people are unique and live together by the rule of law. As historical facts suggest, America's success as a democracy is due to its successful implementation of the rule of law. The rule of law is put into place as 'The US Constitution Bill' by the Founding Fathers of America. After the signing of 'The US Constitution' in 1787, the original law comprised of seven articles. Finally, a collection of ten amendments was made to 'The US Constitution' and signed in 1789 by our Founding Fathers who are known as 'Bill of Rights'. In this paper, we ...

Women in the Second World War

The World War II changed the lives of millions of people. Thousands of men were enlisted to the armies of their countries. They changed their cozy hometowns to the battlefields. However, the women’s life had been changed as well. The Library of Congress reveals the stories of life of American females in the exhibition “Women Come to the Front”. These individuals have followed their own ways during the wartime (“Women Come to the Front”, n.d). Toni Frissell was famous photographer for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar before the World War II. But she switched to the war ...

Throughout centuries of fighting, the fundamental basis of warfare remains the ideological or militaristic conflict between two opposing sides. While the means, methods and strategies of warfare have changed dramatically in the last four hundred years, governments and militaries have always needed to find a way to ensure that morale remains on their side and encourage antipathy towards their opponents. To that end, propaganda was created – the biased historical and cultural narratives created by cultures and governments to vilify their opponents and uplift their own military forces. Propaganda has survived four centuries of change through its durability and malleability throughout ...

The question of the death penalty was relevant in varying degrees throughout the whole history of world governments. However, one should not overestimate its importance in today's global environment, which is characteristic of many politicians, legislators and academics. Aristotle once said: "Only then can we know the essence of things, when you know their origins and development." Therefore, let’s start with a historical perspective. Historically, the death penalty is "evolved" from the ancient custom of blood feud that is existed in pre-state societies and is expressed in the formula "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." ...

In December 7th, 1941There were attacks on the Pearl Harbor base in Hawai’i by the Japanese. At the time of the attacks, the numbers of soldiers in the base were minimal since some had closed whereas others were on weekend leaves. The incoming Japanese planes that attacked the naval base were detected, but were mistaken to a group of American planes that were expected to arrive in the naval base from the mainland. These attacks were survived and took about two hours, and the reason that made them have a big impact is the fact that it had caught The USA ...

As the adage goes, that a picture is worth a thousand words, and so does the image. The image presents and depicts many themes that range from poverty and torture among woman and children as a result of natural or manmade disasters such as war and violence. The image makes it easy to explain and analyze how war, poverty and suffering are related and dependent on each other especially to the most vulnerable in the community that include women and children (Rwomire 14). The image is of a young woman with her kid of Asian origin cooking in an open place using firewood. ...

Introduction

In times of civil strife, leaders of nations, of religious groups, or military forces have addressed the public in such authoritative way through their powerful speeches. In some remarkable cases, their words served as catalysts to action and a result of it; reform (Crespo 2007). My research will be based on specific rhetoric devices used in wartime speeches, and one speech from the Pope. This research topic is very significant in that it tries to bring out clearly the role of the war speeches; how they have been used in the past and the resultant reactions that followed. In ...

Introduction:

A wealth of historians have written on baseball and football during the World War II era. However, there is precious little devoted to the political complexities between the Roosevelt Administration, Major League Baseball, and to a lesser extent the National Football League. Patriotism was good for business, however loosing players to the war effort was not, nor were direct financial contributions to the war effort. Major league sports teams are businesses and have to attend to maintaining a financial bottom line in order to remain viable. Little has been done to examine if Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League ( ...

Between the First letters written in 1762, where John Adams penned his flirtatious note ‘Miss Adorable’ to 17 year old Abigail Smith and the 1801 letter by Abigail Adams to wish her husband a safe journey when he headed to Quincy after serving tenure as the 2nd President of United States. Many letters spanned between 40 years of significant correspondence reveal one of the most inspiring and intriguing partnerships of American history. As one of the leaders of the American Revolution and Newly formed republic, John Adams faced critical moments of United States creation from drafting of declaration of Independence ...

The two protagonists of Homer’s Iliad and Shakespeare’s Coriolanus present similar sentiments. All three of them were great leaders of men and valiant fighters. It is unfortunate that these men were dragged into situations from where there could be no escape as they were, and had to live up to their heroic statures. There was a huge burden placed on them by their respective followers during war that they paid no heed to the consequence they would face when they faced off with their enemy. Therefore, there is no doubt that all the three of them; Hector, Achilles, ...

The freedom of movement using a plane was restricted to those only in the ‘fly ‘list. This was also enforced by increasing the surveillance electronic gadgets in both airports and bus stop stations. The individual freedom of privacy was breached due to the increase of electronic surveillance by intelligence agencies. Anyone entering or leaving the country had to be inspected and was to provide legal identification. All the foreigners had to provide a clear and understandable reason as to why they were entering the country. However, the ability of the citizens to move around the country did not have a wide scale ...

- Introduction Diplomacy, in the modern world, is the practice of countries dealing amicably with each other. It is the process by which countries conduct negotiations and come to agreements; during these talks, individuals often act on behalf of the state. There are a number of desires that shape the movement of diplomacy agreements, but Schroeder suggests that it is the mechanism of shared ambition - which acts like an invisible hand to make alliances and international relationships work. Imbalances of power are bad for peace. In today’s world, diplomacy is the conduction of international relations by heads ...

The Cold war which was a term coined by Walter Lippman lasted from 1947 to 1991. After the World War II, the world was divided into two: the ‘liberated’ West and the socialist East. The two world powers headed by the United States of America and the USSR used media, literature, and entertainment to antagonize each other. It was a psychological warfare that aimed at winning the hearts and minds of people. Lippman coined the term cold war because of the lack of direct military war between the two powers. In the propaganda warfare, it distorted information gathered in the ...

Introduction

The Holocaust, a Greek work, meaning 'killed by fire', refers to the systematic mass persecution and genocide of the Jews executed by the Nazi Party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler throughout Germany and German occupied territories across Europe. Jews were not the only victims of the holocaust, which claimed the lives of millions other including disabled people, gypsies, homosexuals and the war prisoners. Infamous for bringing the Jewish race near extermination, the holocaust accounts for the loss of the lives of "eleven million innocent victims" in total, including about 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jewish Nazi victims. The ...

Reasons for the Allies Bombing of Dresden in the Second World War and Were They Justified in Destroying the City

Introduction During wartime, countries often suffer great losses to areas of their country, their cities, their civilians, and their landmarks. In World War II, the city of Dresden, the capital city of the German state of Saxony was bombed over the span of three days in February of 1945 by the British Air Force. The death toll from this attack on the city is estimated to be between 22,700 and 25,000 people. Furthermore, approximately 1,600 acres of the city was destroyed. There is great debate over whether or not this bombing by the British Air Force ...

The health status within Japan after the WW II was poor. Nonetheless, in less than thirty-five years the Japan’s life expectancy ranked the highest within the globe. Continuing health gains in Japan are associated with policies developed after the end of the WW II by the AOF (Allied occupation force) which formed a democratic government. The Principles of Confucian, which existed within Japan before the occupation were preempted in the war, and were re-instituted after the war, promoting subsequent health improvements. The current good health situation in Japan is not resulting from the health care system of the country ...

Introduction

This influential book by writer and translator Kwan reckons his tumultuous coming-of-age in China during and after World War II. This direct and poetic work clarifies the contradictions of wartime as set through the eyes of a child. Kwan is alienated from his Swiss mother as a young boy and servants take care of him while his father remarries an Englishwoman. Thus, David is emotionally distant from his father who is a wealthy administrator for China's railroads, and a role model to those he interacts with. Kwan's story is as much about his father as it is about him. He explores interesting details ...

Introduction

The development of medicine and medical care during the American civil war were significant due to its watershed impact on social and military evolution. The Civil War was the bloodiest war in the history of America, and had the war that had the most impact in the field of medicine. Civil war medical care providers such as surgeons had to learn fast and develop new techniques as the number of injured people were too high. The high number of the injured fighters included top officers and commanders in the military, which intensified and prompted the need for new developments. ...

Back in the years during and after the Cold War from 1945, almost every country had a key wartime strategy that had a heavy focus on limiting the basic domestic food consumption. Different governments therefore employed control mechanisms and enforced the reduction of citizen’s consumption through the food rationing implementation. This tactic allowed governments to equally apportion certain amounts of basic commodities resources to large groups of people instead of the normal free-for-all allowance that would have compromised the limited resources. Citizens were therefore allowed only so much of some of the scarce foods that were available and food was ...

BANGING THE DRUMS OF WAR

Banging the drums of war is not a casual observance. For millennia armies marched, and the drums went along with them. The cheerful dance tunes are replaced by more heavily cadenced rhythms. When injured soldiers return, or fail to return slower ballads become more popular. As peace returns along with a greater focus on home and family. This seems to be less evident today. Now we have more effective vehicles to deliver soldiers to the battlefield, and technological advancements that can deliver bombs with no aggressive human presence needed at all. Trends in art and music are most easily viewed ...

I. Background of the Research Military service members and veterans may be exposed or suffer posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to severe combat-related traumatic stressors. Because of their exposure to an extreme trauma, they suffer from persistent re-experiences of the threatening or traumatic event, continual avoidance of associative stimuli for the trauma, unusual numbness for general sensitivity, and other symptoms of exaggerated arousals. Any direct personal contact, witness of an actual recurrence, or experience with seemingly similar events may pose a threat to their physical integrity. Victims of PTSD manifest disarrayed behavior, intense horror, fear, agitation, powerlessness, etc. because ...

World War II and the time immediately following World War II was a strange, uncomfortable, and uncertain time for the United States. There were many forces at work, particularly during the early years of America’s involvement in World War II, that threatened the very fabric of American society as it had existed up until that point in history. The world underwent so many vast and rapid changes that the governments had to work very hard to ensure that they kept their populations under control. During World War II, most Americans were just becoming familiar with the idea of ...

Introduction

The Progressive Era gains its name dating back to the era of the Progressive party in 1912–1924. The concept of progressive era is also rooted to the general feeling witnessed at the period and in successive histories which the early years of the 20th century were fixated on a comprehensible body of reforms on democracy which brought about tremendous changes on the American political system. The Progressive Era has experienced numerous changes in its interpretations. Early histories and autobiographies emphasized the return to prevalent control over partisan actions and the regular shift from local authority to state and finally ...

Censorship is the hindering of communication or free speech which may be considered offensive to public morals and which may be deemed as objectionable, sensitive or harmful. The suppression of such news and media may be determined by the government as well as private organisations. Censorship occurs within a variety of scenarios but usually includes the transmission of films and others arts such as plays, and in mediums of broadcasting such as radio and television. Of late, electronic media is also up for censorship and this includes the internet. Issues for the imposition of censorship are varied and may include ...

The Progressive Era and the New Deal would lead to a changed, expanded role of Government in the United States. During the Progressive Era, support for worker’s rights movements and unions would lead to limiting child labor and the number of hours a worker was allowed to have to work, for example. Upton Sinclair’s landmark work “The Jungle” would lead to stricter food regulations. In the wake of disasters such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire, stronger fire regulations were introduced. The gradual progress of the Progressive era eventually gave way to the need for wide-sweeping and swift changes ...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is posed with the ...

Throughout history, there have been many stories surrounding love and war that have been expressed in the forms of written materials and rhetorical tales. There are also been many books written by men and women as they engage in war activities on the battle fields. Many of these books contain short stories as to how the entire actions unfolded in the Vietnam War and many other different war battles in the world. As depicted by Tim O’Brien in the novel “The Things They Carried,” it is quite difficult to retell stories involving war, fighting, and killing. Many soldiers ...

Abstract

Under the fairly broad topic heading of “Women and World War I”, this research paper discusses the roles of women in countries directly involved in World War I, the opportunities available to them to actively support their country’s war effort, and the effects on their lives in those troubled times. Predictably, there were differences between the women’s permitted roles in the various countries discussed (United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Germany and Russia). One thing common to most countries discussed in this paper is that women earned a new respect and gained an increase in status as a result ...

Introduction

Hitler created anti-Semitic laws and policies in 1933-45 because his entire career in politics from 1919 until his suicide in 1945 was based on a racist and anti-Semitic worldview (Weltanschauung) as well as 19th Century Social Darwinism and the belief that some individuals and races were supermen and others subhuman or Untermenschen. Certainly he never made any secret of his ideology, which could be found in Mein Kampf and his other writings. He ordered the extermination of the handicapped and mentally ill in Germany in 1939, which continued up to the end of the war and many of the personnel ...

War and technological innovation have often gone hand-in-hand. Advancements in weaponry are, of course, inevitable under the circumstances of armed conflict, but the necessities of logistical concerns like supply, transport, communication and medicine are likewise sources of invention. World War I, a global conflict the likes of which the world had never seen, yielded an unprecedented number of technical advances, the magnitude of which were commensurate with a conflict large enough to destroy the old world order. This was the first war that brought entire citizen populations under fire. As such, it was inevitable that the world’s governments should turn ...

Esther Bubley, Therese Bonney and Toni Frissel are three incredible women who worked as photojournalists during World War II. When so many men became soldiers, women stepped into their jobs including photojournalism work. These three women were all motivated to demonstrate their ability to cover “hard news” as well as or even better than men.

Bubley was not put on overseas assignment as were both Bonney and Frissel. Instead her subjects were in D.C. and throughout the country. She photographed the country during the transition from the Great Depression’s difficult years into the good economy when the US ...

1. In what ways do you see society change in the first half of the 20th Century and how are those changes reflected in fashion? In the first half of the 20th Century our society has experienced changes, which have never been so rapid before. Two World Wars and the Great Depression completely changed people’s lifestyle and their understanding of the world. These changes could be seen everywhere: in art, music and sports. Surely, fashion could not be unaffected. Having become emancipated, women demanded more freedom in their dresses. The rationalism of the wartime dictated the necessity ...

Introduction

Telecommunication is the transmission of information over significant distances. Telecommunications involve the use of visual signals or audio messages. Information transmission is a very important factor. Telecommunications aids sharing of knowledge, information and ideas. In wartimes, telecommunications played a very important role in ensuring that there was coordination amongst the warring groups. Telecommunications offer a better way to relay messages to each other. (Reo, 1994)

Old methods of relaying messages

Communication has been existing since time immemorial. Old methods of relaying information that was also used during wartime include:

Using smoke

Using horns
