The Mentality Of Cliques In The Marine Corps

They might have a fall out with a friend in there own group at one point and join another or they simply make friends in another group and realize who true friends are and join one group. Cliques form by bonding over something. That’s how the group gets it’s name. If a group is all about sports than they’re athletes, if someone’s group is all about skating than they’re skaters. Depending on what clique you’re in, it can be good or bad.

Being apart of the nations American society is one thing, but being apart of the nations greatest military force is highly honored. To be strong, level-minded and balanced is what all counts down to be the greatest warrior you could ever become. Whether your in the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Coast Guard or even the national guard, the uniform you wear displays a sense of unexplain-able respect gained from those we protect. The Warrior Ethos book does not only explain things from a military aspect of what a warrior should be or what characteristics he or she should have but life in general as a warrior in society. As people, whether military or civilian we all have different mindsets and this book dives deeper into the mindset of how a warriors ethos can fit in with society thereafter'.

The 5 teens formed a crowd, larger groups than cliques, composed of individuals who share particular characteristics but who may not interact with one another, the moment they walked into the library for detention. A clique is a group of 2-12 people whose members have frequent social interactions with one another. Examples of cliques are Claire only hanging out with the popular students, Andrew hanging out with wrestlers,

The Marine Corps has 11 Leadership Principles. Of the eleven, there is one that states, “Seek Responsibility and Take Responsibility.” This is instilled in every Marine from Private (Enlisted-1) to General (Officer-10). Throughout the Bible, God placed responsibility upon His people and expected them to act accordingly. However, He did not punish the son for the father’s sin and vice-versa. There were times in the Old Testament that this occurred. For example, with Achan (Jos. 7:14-15) when he stole spoils from battle, did not confess it, and he along with his family was killed. Another instance happened when the accusers of Daniel and their families were thrown in the Lion’s Den (Dan. 6:24). Sande states, “Another way to avoid responsibility for our sins is to shift the blame to others or to say that they made us act the way we did.”

There are many different cultures or social groups that have a language barrier whether that is because of religion, race, or social differences. These language barriers eventually will have to be overcome so that we can all communicate with each other. Out of these social groups, comes the greatest fighting force in the World, The Marine Corps. Marines have a very unique language dialog that has been preserved for hundreds of years Unfortunately, there comes a point in time when a Marine must transition out of the Marine Corps into the “Civilian World” (as we call it). Transitioning is a very exciting time for Marines but it also is very difficult time due to the strong language community that we belong to.

The fact that the students in this movie actually become friends at the end shows that when looking at this situation from a sociological view, it can be said that cliques are not always what defines people. Cliques can be a negative and a positive thing. Obviously the negatives to cliques are that people get labeled into stereotypes which can be hurtful to some, and that people isolate themselves from other peers that are not in the clique. Positives of cliques can be that the people in the group have a sense of belonging, support from their friends during tough times, and also have a form of identity.

At 18, I enlisted in the Marine Corps. In basic training, I was introduced to a new way of speaking, and of thinking. This new language, integral to the transformation of my thought practices, transformed me, from a civilian to a Marine. My experiences in the Marines confirm the idea of linguistic relativity, proposed in the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, and served as my initiation into the Marine Corp’s Community of Practice.

Senior enlisted leaders are ask to come up with solutions to stop suicide in the Marine Corps. I am going to talk about three topics that I feel important to stop suicide; (1) All hands responsibility, (2) Spiritual guidance, (3) Mental ship awareness program. Suicide is all hands responsibility because Marines are one family that strive to do their best for the best interest of the institution. Marines care for one another and the moment someone commit suicide in the Marine Corps, it has a great impact on our emotional state of mind, mission readiness, and how to deal with suicide while still fresh in our environment. This is important to talk about it vice walking away and let the time cure the unanswered question. After a Marine commit suicide I find it a critical point to educate the force on why taking your life is not the solution, why any suicide is a death that touches someone (Kelly, 2015). Educating Marines that there is a solution to any problem and giving the solutions via resources within the Battalion is important because at least there is chance within reach with someone that you see every day.

The United States Military was established in 1775, which coincided with the Revolutionary War. In 1776, the government boosted enlistments into the military for the Revolutionary War by providing pensions to disabled soldiers. In 1789, the Department of War was established, which would later be renamed the Department of Defense in 1949 (www.defense.gov/about/). The establishment of the military brought on the development of the veteran culture. As stated before, Veterans span many cultures and generations (Hobbs, 2008). The Veterans still alive today have served in the most recent wars being; World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq-Desert Storm, Iraq-Operation Freedom, and Afghanistan. Many older generations of Veterans have expressed their understanding of the younger veterans returning home from war and seem familiar with the problems they face (Hobbs, 2008). Simply speaking, the

Culture of a nation is manifested and influenced by a number of factors. National psyche and traits being the most pronounced ones. Military culture , to a certain extent , is in harmony with the national culture, however, it has its own impulses and dynamics. It incorporates obedience that curtails individual freedom or at times it may be at tangent with the socio-cultural values of a society ; Military culture of British – Indian Army ,as inherited by us is a case in point here. Philosophy of our present military outlets draws strength from history , organisational infrastructure , uniform , traditions social moorings and a host of other factors which , despite numerous changes , is still undergoing the process of evolution.

Second, while discussing her attitude, Claire discloses feeling substantial pressure from her friends, admitting that she hates doing what they say (Hughes et al., 1985). This is a realistic example of how clique member’s ensure conformity and strengthen cohesiveness (Arnett 2013).

To be early, is to be on time, to be on time, is to be late, and to be late, is out of the question. Being able to adhere to a given deadline in a group situation, demonstrates responsibility, time management, group cohesion, and progress. However, being that a group is a collection of individuals with separate lives, there are times when members of the group may be experiencing extenuating circumstances preventing the group from completing a task on time. In such a scenario, communication within the chain of command is essential. Failing to communicate problems that may arise, and inhibit group progression towards a task will result in failure to communicate the task, group division, distrust between the chain of command and the group,

As people age, they change in a many of ways both biological and psychological. Some of these changed can be for the better and other may not. They are many changes that occur during the aging of the brain, one significant factor is the neuroanatomical and neuropsychological changes that also take place as the individual continues to age. Memory plays a very important part when it comes to all aspects of information processing. During the early, age of an individual’s life is when people tend to retain a great amount of information but as the adults gets older in some cases their memory begins to decline and have difficulty recalling information.

A Farewell to Arms is a novel by Ernest Hemingway about an American ambulance driver in Italy during World War I, and the nurse, Catherine Barkley, with whom he falls in love. The story is narrated by his driver, named Frederic Henry. Whether or not this book is truly an anti-war novel is debatable, but it well depicts the effects an ongoing war has on soldiers and how the men try to numb this pain. Henry's close friend at the front, Rinaldi, forgets the war with the help of sex and seduction, the priest takes comfort in God, the Captain has humor and jokes about the priest, and almost all drink profusely, taking wine and brandy like water. But the most important and notable attempt to escape from the pain of war is Henry and
