The three main tactics used to combat civil wars and instill peace in an area are peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and counterinsurgency. The first tactic I will address is peacekeeping. Once the two parties of a conflict have agreed to a truce, peacekeepers will come in to guarantee the implementation of the truce and try to maintain peace. The duty of peacekeepers is “not only [to] monitoring troops, but also with human rights monitoring, protecting and delivering humanitarian aid, demobilizing and retraining troops, reforming police forces, protecting civilians, reforming legal systems, assisting in economic reconstruction, and sometimes administering the entire state until a new government can take over. In other words, after civil wars, peacekeepers are often charged not only with military monitoring duties, but with reforming the essential institutions of the state” (Peacekeeping, Peace Enforcement, and UN Reform Lise Morjé Howard, P 1-2). There are three ways that peacekeepers are able to use their power in order to succeed. These three ways include coercion, inducement, and persuasion. Coercion involves a display of power, like swagger, to wield off attacks. Troops use swagger in several scenarios. One of the most common times the use of swagger will occur is during policing, where troops will patrol the area. Since one of the main doctrines of peacekeeping involves not using force, this type of coercion has been deemed useful. Even though the majority of the time
With every object that people have and every experience that people go though, they can be categorized into three categories: needs, wants, and negatives. Wants and needs, the two positive categories, are prioritized differently by everyone. People often misinterpret some parts of these categories, believing certain wants are needs and vice versa. For example, some people see makeup as a need to go outside, it is really just a want. This is how addictions form. When people categorize a want as need, however subconsciously, they end up truly needing that, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or even sugar. On the other hand, when people prioritize their wants, they often will be happier in life, even though they are in worse situations than many of
Tactics in the Civil War were influenced by a few factors. Most notably is the contribution made by the spy network. They helped the northern generals formulate tactics to counter the south, prevented the south from making counterattacks, and also changed the progression of the war.
Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.
Lost Cause ideology was an idea that developed following the civil war, which stated that the South did not in fact fight the war in an effort to maintain slavery (A notion that was directly stated in their declarations of secession), but that the Civil War was fought to protect state’s rights from the government and to preserve southern culture. The idea promotes the south’s feeling of bravery, rebellion, and struggling against the national government, contributing to feeling of superiority over the north and pride in the south. Lost Cause Ideology was not accepted by everybody in the North, but it did contribute into easing reunification and reaccepting the South back into the union. Lost Cause Ideology portrayed the Slave-owning south as a fantastical paradise where African Americans lived in blissful servitude, almost as if they were part of the family. The idea diminishes the role of white supremacy, and downplays the horrific aspects of slavery, such as rape, torture, and beatings.
Introduction The Civil War era brought upon considerably social and political turmoil. The time period manufactured technological and resource advancements that evolved both the world and warfare. Military leaders were captivated by new inventions in weapons, ships, transportation, communication and reconnaissance. The importance of these inventions during the Civil War were key in developing new tactics used today.
The Civil War and the late 1800’s brought change. Though it was a time rebuilding, despair and much loss there rose a political revolution. This political revolution derived from the Civil War and helped shape the world into what it is today. As the Civil War was fought there was a change in political parties, there were new Acts and Amendments passed at the time, and Lincoln’s assassination. With these changes the Civil War was pushed into a new direction and propelled into the future.
If examined closely, you can see both sides of the war have numerous qualities and weaknesses. Several respect North since they are as of now the most arranged and prepared for this war. The North as of now also has twice as much railroad tracks than the South. This will seriously affect the South since it would let the North transport weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment required for their armed force. The North has around 100,000 manufacturing plants while the south has around 20,000 so the North have the capacity to deliver more weapons, ammunition, shoes and more things that will help the armed force. Starting now, North is financially set for war, they have enough cash in the bank. In addition, along with the economy it was
“There is a terrible war coming, and these young men who have never seen war can’t wait for it to happen, but I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war” -Robert E. Lee, a commander of the Confederates States Army back in the Civil War. The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and ended on June 2, 1865. This is considered one of the deadliest wars in American history, with about 620,000 casualties and millions more wounded. The war started because the tensions between the northern and southern states were rising as years went on, debating issues such as states’ rights, slavery, and westward expansion. This war began when the Confederates open fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston,
Family violence, I believe can mean different things to different people. Based on what I read, family violence is an act of physical abuse, which causes injuries between members who are related somehow. The violence can also be psychological and mental. There has been great debate however on what constitutes family. It does not necessarily mean related by marriage or blood. It can also be between partners of any kind. I feel the term should be more classified as relationship or intimate as the book states. Violence is to give a broader variance to the subject. The most accurate and reliable way to measure family violence is by using the Conflict Tactic Scale (CTS). This method measures 3 variables: use of rational discussion and agreement, use of verbal/nonverbal expressions of hostility, and use of physical force or violence. The CTS is deemed to be more reliable due to the sampling procedure, the expansive numbers The CTS is deemed to be more reliable due to the sampling procedure, the expansive number of respondents and the validity of the CTS as a measuring device. The theory that offers the most hope of understanding family violence in my opinion is the social learning
In the united States during the 1860s, a war broke out among the states. The Civil War, a war between Northern states and the Southern states. There were many efforts in hopes of preventing this war, for instance, the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Still many actions took place that escalated the issue even more, like the novel Uncle Tom's cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Dred Scott Supreme Court Decision. Eventually, all of the efforts to prevent the war failed, and the ones who tried to bring the issue to light succeeded because in April of 1861 a Civil war occurred in the U.S.
The American Civil War was one of the deadliest wars in American history, resulting in 620,000 casualties of soldiers and undetermined number of civilian casualties. Southern slave states declared their withdrawal from United States and formed the Confederate States of America; also know as “The Confederacy.” Northern twenty states free of slavery and five slave states in north came to knows as the Union. Many strategy and tactics were used during the American Civil War. In order to understand the military strategy and tactics of Union and the Confederacy, one must understand the manpower each side had, previous war experience of the commanding officers on both side, and using rivers and railroad to their advantages.
The article chosen for this review is Healing, Reconciliation and Forgiving after Genocide and Other Collective Violence by Ervin Staub and Laurie Anne Pearlman. The authors wrote this article about the effect violence can have on both the victims and those that committed the crimes against them. They are basing it off of their experiences while they were in Rwanda “conducting a project on healing, forgiveness and reconciliation” (Staub,Pearlmam, 2001 p. 205). Their article focused in on the topic of collective violence and the effect it has to groups of people. “Forgiving I essential for reconciliation to take place and both arise from and contribute to healing” (Staub, Pearlman 2001, 205). As both individuals and in groups they have to try
As a citizen of the United States, I am part of an institution that has been, and is currently, killing people. Whether or not all or some of these killings are ethically defensible is a difficult question to answer and most people simply never confront the issue. I will evaluate literature on the topic, identify the different justifications for killing in time of war and decide if they legitimize our actions. After describing some compelling arguments, I will defend my own position that pacifism is the only ideal which mankind should embrace.
Strategic management has its origin in the warfare. The strategy were expected to develop and implement overall tactics in order to succeed the long-term goal of winning the war through negotiations or battles. The civil-military that formally nominated by the citizens of Athens to take responsibility leadership during the times of war. They were not diametrically be responsible of daily short-term operations of handling or training troops to win particular battles, which was the responsibility of low grade officers.
Power, morality and ethics, and law are the three categories of activities that mankind has used to achieve this goal. Power is the use of force to accomplish the desired outcome, and when used strategically, it generally is the most proficient way to maintain peace and security. When morals and ethics fail, and international laws are broken, it is the use of power that it used to intervene and stop the violence. The ability to fend off attackers and defend yourself, or to fight for something that is believed to be just with the use of force are clear strengths of power. The United States’ intervention into World War II is a great example of power being used to bring peace. Their aid to the Allied forces helped end the war and also brought one of the most horrific genocides in history to a halt. However, if power is not used in a strategic, controlled manner, it can be very counterproductive. Peacekeeping operations may sometimes be misinterpreted as acts of war and bring more violence to a situation. Also, war and violence do not bid well with many civilians, as they often see death tolls and don’t consider what is to be gained. For example, the United States entered Vietnam with the good intentions of preventing a spread of communist leadership. However, there had been more bloodshed than could have been foreseen, and many Americans opposed the involvement in the war. The US eventually backed out of Vietnam
