In 1959, Fidel Castro led a group of rebel forces to end and overthrow Fulgencio Batista’s regime in an effort to free the Cuban people from his tyrannous rule. For very many different political reasons this has been portrayed as an act of great injustice and hypocrisy in the modern world. A lot of this has of course been advocated primarily by the US due to the high level of political tension between the two nations that developed in the mid 1950s. Believing this conventional wisdom that Castro was simply an evil communist who oppressed his people and stripped them of their human rights is very dangerous because it

Assassinations and targeted killings have been topics vastly debated around the world throughout history. As a matter of fact, this matter can be discussed through the eyes of Michael Walzer from a just war theory perspective. This viewpoint can be used in order to explain just assassinations of political and military leaders as well as other individuals. For example, a person can be the victim of targeted killings if their death would result in less future violence or warfare. However, the individual must pose an imminent threat, capture is not feasible, and the operation is executed in observance of the applicable laws of war. Yet the burden of proof and responsibility resides with those in highest power since it is their duty to maintain order among everyone below them. As a result, only those in power can decide who is assassinated and for what reason. All arguments against this belief can be annihilated by the fact that targeted killing will lower the chances of further combatant and civilian casualties. Ultimately, just assassination or targeted killing are blameless if the outcome will create less vehemence.

Castro’s immediate rise to power in Cuba was bothersome and concerning to the United States from the beginning. Although we were suspicious of his intentions, we were initially hopeful that the overthrow of Batista would bring positive changes to Cuba and her people. Nonetheless, Castro has shown us through his extreme socialist policies that he aligns more with communist policies than democratic ones. Indeed, his Revolutionary Forces have brought him full, unbridled control of the Cuban Government, including operations, law enforcement, utilities, labor unions, news outlets, and financial institutions. In fact, he is carrying out death trials and mass executions to this day.

To begin, I have to admit this discussion forum has challenged me. Whenever I think of killing, my brain automatically thinks the word bad. But, the readings have made me realize that assassination or targeted killing, as Statman refers to it, “is not always morally wrong” (White 502). Statman states, “"Thus, people generally fail to notice the moral problem with many instances of killing in war even when they are fierce objectors to the death penalty, because they view the situation of war as different from the non-war context” (Statman 512).

Dictators are people who have power over a certain country. Their objective is to ultimately solve the country's problems, but end up failing. In the article it says, “Dictators often rise to power by being able to restore during periods of civil war or other internal conflict”(Can Dictatorships 1). This reveals that dictators are not meant to look like bad people, their country ends up in a bad situation because of their bad decisions. This quote from the article symboloizes that dicators can try to be high-minded. “In other words, dictators rule without the consent of people”(Can Dictatorships 1). This quote displays that dictator’s rule without the people's permission. A dictator usually rises to power because they think they can fix society by themselves, but really they can not. The idea of dictatorship sybolizes an aspect of unfairness. The people who are living under a dictator have no rights whatsoever, and they must oblige to the government's rules no matter what.

Imagine, one day your life was the way it always is, and then all of a sudden someone comes into your home and your city and changes everything by using force and fear to do so. Or hearing that in a nearby area and it could come to you, hearing about these horrible acts in the news paper and media. This is the reality of a lot of people in low income places like uganda and the surrounding areas, and many others. Areas that are governed by a Dictator are usually consumed in poverty and horrible living conditions. Causing immeasurable deaths for personal gain, the assassination of a dictator can be justified due to these things.

Antibiotics have always been used to treat illnesses such as staph infections, tuberculosis, and others. But now, scientists are coming up with new ways to eliminate bacteria in a human. The company called ContraFeet in NY found a back-up in bacteriophages---this is a virus that infects bacteria and has enzymes called lysins. The ContraFeet company are willing to try the lysins to help eliminate and kill bacterial infections in humans.

Since 2013 till I come to Melbourne on 2015, Amila didn’t have any of my expenses as I was earning well. Even after we got married he didn’t send me money during my stay in SL. I spent on both our families and friends. Plus holiday arrangements. I did spent on wedding while he spent only on his suite and my ring.

I agree that they had no idea what to do after Elena left. All they did after Elena left was focus on relationship's. Bonnie had to get with Enzo only for him to die and make her feel a bit suicidal why? The point of Stefan getting back with Valerie later on only to end things because he wanted Caroline had to happen for what reason? The Gemini babies had to survive for what purpose? For some Alaric and Caroline bullshit that really didn't come to fruition only for her to be with Stefan but then he dies which…basically means everything we watched with them had no meaning essentially. Hayley had to resurrect after having her throat slit because…? Elijah needed to fuck his brother's sloppy leftover seconds but then they have a one night

Federal financial aid has changed drastically in the past 50 years. Dr. Yoon, Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina, has done research in comparing the changes of federal financial aid from 1970s to 2007. “In the late 1970s, the Pell Grant peaked to cover more than 80% of college expenses for its recipients . . . . Now . . . the Pell Grant takes up about 16.3% . . . of the federal financial supports. Thus, students from low-income families are reported to have more debt than non- Pell Grant recipients” (qtd. in Yoon 106). The facts here make one wonder why the Pell Grant does not cover as much as it used to. If students are qualifying for this grant it is because they are in financial need. The irony of this grant is that students

climates. His recommendations are for leaders to combine empathy (a regard for vulnerability) with a compelling school vision, and allow teachers to see their behavior as advancing the vision, personal integrity is heightened and “an overall ethos conducive to building trust is likely to emerge” (p. 27).

It had been two months since the 45th President of the Unites States, Jeff Bush had been elected into office. It had also been two months since Jeff had learned the horrors that lay unseen to the average citizen. Many activist groups were attempting a coup d’état and stage a revolution. This was troublesome for the government as they wanted to maintain a position of power and ensure that these groups did not gain control in fear of disrupting the peace that has lasted for years. These individual uprisings stretched the government to its limit trying to keep the knowledge from the public.

I would agree that there’s some merit in creating programs that allow people to do immoral actions. Technically you are giving people the opportunity to do unlawful things, which means you should be held somewhat responsible for the damages due to being the creator of the chaos. I do agree with the idea that the software would have been created regardless, but it doesn’t undermine that the software was created at all. If you are going to open the door for people to commit immoral actions, you should be held accountable for allowing people to commit these actions. But the argument of the reason behind creating the software justifies whether or not if the creator should be penalized by its users.

The President of the United States should have self-control of his freedom of speech for the collective well being of society. Donald Trump is the head of a nation is looked at as one of the most powerful people in the world. In the circumstances when he speaks to the nation not only are the citizens of the United States hearing him but also other nations. The wide disapproval for Donald Trump being elected as the 45th President wasn't just here in the U.S but also other countries disapproved him winning the presidency as well. With this objection against him, his actions of speaking without a filter such as calling the supreme leader of North Korea (Mr.Kim Jong-un) “Rocketman” and also stating “If it is forced to defend ourselves or our allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” causing turmoil to erupt across the globe between two powers that have the resources to cause catastrophic conflict around the world.
