According to Sociologist Craig Calhoun, socialization is “the process through which individuals internalize the values, beliefs, and norms of a society and learn to function as its members”(Calhoun, 2013). With that in mind, media, particularly the music video and advertisement industry, are essential parts of contemporary socialization, especially involving

We all, as a people who have not seen the real war, are left in a state of confusion and uncertainty, when it comes to think about the war times, without real information and impressions of the combatants. Of course, looking from the bigger frame, there is no any event

In the article, “Teens Who Fought Hitler” by Lauren Tarshis it shows the challenges and bravery shown when in the middle of a war. A kid named Ben lived in one of the world's harshest times in history. He and his family were forced into a concentration camp. They were not allowed out until the war was over. Ben had to survive in the harsh conditions. Eventually he left his family to join the “war” against Hitler. He would never see his family again.

Self-Learning Lessons There is no doubt that when war occurs, every single human being is affected by it even if it is just a little. In the novel, “All Quiet on the Western Front” written by Erich Maria Remarque, a group of teenage men, who also appear to by classmates, are in the German army of World War I because they have chosen to leave their adolescence at home and school for grown up work at the army. Throughout this fictional novel, they face many challenges that result in them not seeing each other ever again because of death. War affects individuals by leaving behind necessities such as education or jobs, not being able to watch over others such as their health, and injuries that soldiers receive while they are at war.

Throughout human history, we have watched many men and women storm into combat to sweat, bleed, and die for a cause that they believe in. War is no secret to mankind, we have seen it hundreds of times, and we are aware of the mental and physical damage it has the capability of causing. We’ve learned of the gruesome damage caused by the first world war, and the numerous amount of lives it claimed. We’ve read the vivid stories authors wrote, using literature as a means to communicate the horrors experienced in war. Even in present day, we’ve seen, or known veterans who have returned from war with mental damage due to the terrible things they witnessed or partook in. Whether or not it is the smartest or most responsible idea, the human race uses

911 Memorial It would seem there would be some exceptions which would have been considered out of bounds, well, not really though. The 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan is an educational and historical institution honoring the victims and examining 9/11 and its continued global significance. Some visitors were reported

The soldiers have constantly experienced their friends being killed right in front of them with the most gruesome death. The soldiers being shot by a machine gun.

Banning books that some people consider inappropriate could prevent the knowledge of past history, as well as intelligence and different aspects of opinions. For all these reasons, I believe that books should not be banned! Banning books is similar banning the freedom of expression. Not only can banning books prevent

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you all, but I do hope you all are well. It has been a rough three months since I've joined the other nurses in aiding this war and needless to say I have settled in and adapted to the conditions. Since the beginning, nothing has changed within these 3 months, neither side had gotten much advantage of the war. It would be as if a back and forward tug of war between the two sides. Everyday I watch from the tent as hundreds of men rot away in the horrid conditions of the trenches. Many were brought in but many doesn't mean all. After barely being treated and having about a week of recovery soldiers were sent back to suffer in the battlefield. A few weeks ago a huge storm crossed the battlefield. The trenches

We all sleep and rest and eat in the trenches, but it’s not paradise. One night, the sound of loud booms woke us up. We were being attacked by some very dangerous artillery. We could feel every boom and every crack in the dirt above us. Many soldiers were not prepared for this and got sick. The attack come out of nowhere and frightened all of us.

When the Gun Smoke Settles As the rifle and machine gun fire exchanges in the Syrian Civil War not only lives are lost but many innocent men, women and children are left in need of emergency care. Cecily Hilleary, a traveling journalist for VOA World News, mentions “the United Nations estimates the civil war raging in Syria has left more than 2.5 million people in dire need of food, water, drugs and medical supplies,” not including the already 25,000, and counting, deceased from the war (VOA par. 9). The medical aid is minimal in Syria due to the low number of volunteers and medical staff. Cecily tells the stories of crowded hospitals with over 250-350 beds being piled up upon with hurt Syrian individuals, many being innocent women and

The Holocaust is, if not, one of the largest and most important events of European academic history. This event was the systematic killing of Jews by the Nazi regime from 1933-1945. The Holocaust was based on the idea to create a “perfect race”. The perfect race involved eliminating anyone who was considered a threat to the Nazi Party. This included: the Jews, Gypsies, handicapped, the mentally ill, and anyone with an “imperfection”. Today there are various representations available, which adequately convey thoughts, opinions and information about the Holocaust. And with such a variety of resources, it poses the question, about which, is the best representation available to understanding this tragic event. While it’s hard to determine what

The video explains the effects that the United States and its policies had and have on the Native people of the America's. The killing of the Native Americans as stated by Charles Abourezk in the video could be called genocidal. I think it is improtnant to understand the effect that these genorcial practicies still have on both the United States government and Native Americans today. I think this shows how people have forgotten the debt we owe to the native peoples of this contienent. I think this is important because it shows the inhumane treatment, broken promises, and pain endured by the native people. In addition, I find it interesting we celebrate Columbus Day as a Ferdral holiday. Christopher Colubus decimated the native population, began
