Contemporary, broadly established theories, varying from the understanding of the universe to the revelation of human evolution, are the result of valuable innovations in different fields of science and technology. Every day life has been simplified due to the constant advance of knowledge and discoveries. However, none of this would be possible without constant research. Therefore, and since research is vital to the development of human civilization, the need to augment and supplement current research methods has become apparent. Even though research outcomes

The Great War is remembered in history as one of the most gruesome and bloody wars in history. Millions of people died for their countries on foreign fields of battle, all the while in their homelands their fellow citizens suffered the effects of total war. Citizens of the warring nations entered the Great War unprepared and unrealistic. They truly believed that the war would be a way to lift off steam for all countries and that the death count would remain low. They believed that the war would be over in a few months, in time for Christmas.

WWII also known as the Second World War took place from September 1st 1939 to august 14th 1945. All of the beautiful chaos was caused by none the other than Adolf halter. A man of the military background, and a charismatic ways of speaking. He lured in the German civilians to fuel his power, then finally make the Jewish people disappear. Or so he thought, he did kill many but he never got them all. Some say he was crazy, others say he a genius. From his early childhood, to his young adult years is when he had developed anti-semiotic behaviors. Anti- semiotic meaning hostile against Jewish people or prejudice against. What had possessed him to do all this and succeed at it for so long? Then finally the most important question of all, why did

Known to be one of history’s bloodiest wars for domination, World War I (WWI) was initially perceived positively by Europeans. For instance, heavy emphasis on militarism, the glorification of the military, lead numerous “young men [to dream] of going to war and becom[ing] heroes” (Victorine “Causes of World War I”). This shows that new recruits yearned to become well-respected citizens of the country, believing that war was an opportunity to demonstrate their bravery and prove their patriotism. Hence, this idea of becoming a war hero spread rapidly across Europe, leading to the enlistment of thousands of soldiers. Similarly, Jessie Pope, author of “The Call” creates a sense of success by presenting the pride and glory that can be gained in

World War II was a time of heroes, a time when people faced their fears and fought for their countries. These soldiers are commemorated, and will always be heroes. Espionage agents were heroes as well. They risked their lives to help their country just as much any soldier. While espionage was in no way a new idea when World War II occurred, the new technology and tactics of a worldwide war created an environment from which espionage could bloom. The British led this venture with the MI5 and MI6, the latter an organization which at the time most people did not even know existed. The SOE, the Special Operations Executive, was another significant organization that recruited agents and trained them to do the precarious things that would make them heroes in the years to come. The life of a spy was not all disguises and gadgets; spies had to be well trained in order to be successful. Agents often had to interact with officers who, if the wrong thing was said, could make their death even more imminent. With all able-bodied men needed as soldiers, there were not many men available for these hazardous assignments. Women were still only allowed a non-combatant role in the fighting, but the SOE discovered that women were suitable agents, if not better, than men. Fifty women agents were sent by the SOE from Britain to occupied France, and even more were recruited for other jobs (Binney). At a time when being a woman meant there were a lot of things you could not do, being female was
