`` Night `` By Elie Wiesel

War has been a inseparable part of the human experience. Well for most of our specie’s existence at least. It was always a way to secure your interests when diplomacy hits a brick wall. However throughout the 20th century all that began to change. In this essay I will aim to explain how the perspective of war changed for the individual, the state and globally in the 20th century through reasons such as the democratization, globalization and the rise of more advanced weapons. This research question links with the topic “changing communities” as war affects the smallest community which in my option is the family to the largest which is the global community. The main body paragraphs

War can be defined as “an active struggle between competing entities. It’s truly hard to tell who is right or wrong during a war. Both sides are fighting for what they believe in and what is true to their heart. In the end there is always two things promised – destruction and death. These two objects can explain the result in every facet of war from the physical to emotional.

As the famous journalist Iris Chang once said, “As the Nobel Laureate warned years ago, to forget a holocaust is to kill twice.” After experiencing the tragedies that occurred during the Holocaust, Eliezer Wiesel narrated “Night”. Eliezer wrote “Night” in an attempt to prevent something similar to the Holocaust from happening again, by showing the audience what the consequences are that come from becoming a bystander. Elie illustrated numerous themes by narrating the state of turmoil he was in during the Holocaust. In Night, Eliezer provided insight into what he experienced in order to teach the unaware audience about three themes; identity, silence, and faith.

In his novella, Night, Elie Wiesel tells of his experience as a victim in multiple German concentration camps during the Holocaust of World War ll. The following passage illustrates a vivid moment during the struggle, the extent of human cruelty, "Something was being burned there. A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies! Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes. . . Children thrown into the flames" (32). As stated in the passage, Elie Wiesel is observing Jewish babies being thrown into a fire. The extent people will go through just to persecute another group can be an overwhelming aspect of war; furthermore, the extent of cruelty brought upon the poor souls was unjust. War is based off ideology, and when two forces clash, the extent of cruelty the opposing sides proceed in can be considered torture.

“Courage isn’t a matter of is or is not; it’s about being afraid and doing what has to be done in spite of it” (Jon Pertwee). War is always hard, no one wants it and many people try to avoid it. No one wants to see their kids die, or for them to see people they know very well, even love, burn. No one wants to bury their kid or their husband, father, wife, mother, or anyone. War in itself, is needed. War is profitable to the winning side, war reparations and the payments made to soldiers help the economy. War can also defend the natural human rights. It also bring people who would have never otherwise of talked become the closest friends. War also helps with the countries understanding of any scientific field. War is controversial but it can

War represents the outbursts of civilization, the desire for violence and power overwhelms the desire for order and

War is but a mere game of strategy whose fate depends on the choices made by the players. A simple mistake can be a player’s, or a nation’s, last. In fact, such a mistake is what ultimately ended the Vietnam War, a war that had been raging across the world for twenty years.

War is not a necessary evil. Even though people fight for the protection of their country, it seems like a waste of time. World peace has been going on for a while around with world deciding whether or not to stop a war all together. But, people do not listen for many reasons. War may just one day altogether stop or become a never ending battle. Of course everyone wants war to stop but people continue on fight for either freedom or rights. But isn’t there a more simpler and more calm way of settling things? I get from very sad to very mad thinking about war. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “There was never a good war, or a bad peace.” To this day, there are many reasons to why war is not a necessary evil.

In the beginning of the article Mr. Hansen makes a compelling argument about the way war is viewed. He uses popular catch phrases that were created in the aftermath of the Vietnam war as an example of how people think conflict should be handled ( “An array of anti-war catch phrases has per­meated our popular culture: “Vio­lence only breeds violence”; “Make love, not war”: “War never solved any­thing”: and “Give peace a chance.” (Hansen 1). As Mr. Hansen mentions war is viewed as an ugliness that should never rear its head and it is treated as a misconstrued manifestation that does nothing but waste the time of others involved. In reality people want to solve disagreements by endless peace treaties and conflict resolutions which Mr. Hansen

Unfortunately, our modern society has been marred with war and strife over its eventful lifespan. A civil disagreement, when accompanied by mass offenses, often ends with deadly war. Throughout history, many nations have been unable to solve their personal grievances with one another in a diplomatic manner. In many instances are solves through protest, boycotts and other contentious means. However, in some instances, society elects the worst possible alternative, which is often war. In retrospect, wars have been fought for many worthwhile causes, even by today's standards. Wars have been fought over liberty, injustice, the potential threat to national security and more. However, no war is more damaging than those that are civil. Brother against brother, father against father, neighbor against neighbor. These are often the most bitter of wars simply because they are so personal and contentious. As is the case with the American Civil War of 1861-1865, the varying degrees of hatred and disagreement resulting in massive deaths. Due primarily to the civil nature of the war, many lives were lost in an unnecessary and often brutal manner.

War is a useless and a ferocious way to settle political problems between two nations that will only cause an infinite number of casualties and deaths. They give absolutely no advantage to both nations yet it is still being used so settle problems. They have existed ever since people realized how power can be important; however what they did not know is that if put in the wrong hands it can cause pain and misery to all the people involved.

Life is about death. Everything eventually dies. Grandmas die because of natural reasons. Plants die without the right amount of water . People die when in war. The other things are necessary. Except the last one. War is not necessary. What's the point of war? To kill the innocent because a few officials don't agree on some tiny subject? Everyone has a different opinion, but it doesn't mean that the officials should force wars to start... AND it also causes PTSD (post Traumatic Stress Disorder) for the people who actually live!!! In this Expository Essay, you will learn the positive and negative effects of war, my opinion on war, and the war between the good and bad.

War used to be two antagonistic nations opposing each other (Lauer). Now war has escalated to new levels including multiple civil wars at one time, and terrorism (Lauer.)

The influence of War range far and wide from beyond the battlefield to the homefront. War hungers for the blood of humans and animals to water the ground. Anger and hatred flows the veins of War and drives men to kill and destroy. When people utter his name they quake in fear for he only takes and never gives. War’s face shows anger, pride, and pain. His eyes shimmer with malice and cunning. Only the best men can learn and play his game and he is constantly changing the rules. War thrives on the aggression for humans and the innovation of men to adapt to his rules. War demands his price for the men who play his game. The sounds of War contribute to his haunting demeanor with the furious sound of gunfire or the eerie silence after, the screams

War is one of the most dreadful matter in our world today. We have grown up watching news on wars on television channels and news. I am from a country called Bangladesh, where we fought for victory to save our country through a nine months bloody war. And, now we see all this war around different countries in news channels, and newspapers, killing of innocent people. War has nothing to do with killing innocent citizens of a country. The main purpose of war is to fight against one another to protect themselves, but instead of protecting they put the life of innocent people of their country in danger. In our history, we have already had two immense wars. These wars were the World Wars, simply because they involved most of the vast countries of the world, which made history.
