War : War And War

War has been present throughout history and plays a major role in power, politics, and glory.

War is normally defined as a state of open, often prolonged, armed conflict between two or more groups, usually nations, states or other parties. Wars are usually begun through the clash of interests between the different groups such as territory or resources. Before a war can officially begin the groups involved usually have a formal declaration of war to make the citizens aware that there is a war.

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you (Fred Divito). Stanley had many challenges to face at Camp Green Lake. In the novel Holes, Stanley becomes from a shy, poor person to a rich and brave person.

This is tremendously hard because the concept of war is a terrible idea. There are so many different things that could happen to you. I’m very positive that no one likes war, but yet everyone likes to win especially if the prize is totally worth it. To you maybe war is something you have never thought about for long because you know that you wouldn’t like it.

War has been something that has existed since the most primitive eras. People selfishly fight just to get what they want, like political power or economic advantages. Events like World War 1, World War 2, and the Cold War have affected and changed our society in different ways, such as the creation of nuclear weapons, the murder of innocent people, the destruction of cities, etc. Even though war stories usually portray heroism and glory, war is not something to be glorified because it causes enormous human suffering, it creates a violent cycle that never stops and it frequently fails to resolve conflicts. War causes suffering and destruction to all the people who experience it, impacting not only the soldiers who directly fight in the war but

In the end, war can overcome a substantial issue that people have been dealing with for years. On the other hand, war can lead to humongous destruction. It can cause us to hate each other. War can cause us to become greedy animals. It all depends on the outcome of the war.

War leads to oppression and leaves negative implications on all people and societies by impacting the poor, women, children, and nations as a whole. "War is a state of violent conflict between one or more groups" (Rasenberger 3). Rasenberger defines war as a state of conflict between one group within itself or several groups in combat with each other, what is not mentioned are the after-effects of war. War itself leads to many civilian and military deaths, an estimated 1.5-3.8 million people died during the Vietnam War and an approximate 500,000 people died in the Iraq war. The biggest tragedy of War is that it always results in fatality, but another key, negative, factor to understand is that after the War many adverse implications arise. Post-war ramifications in the nation fall upon the poor, women, and children, making them weaker and less motivated leading to the downfall of a society. Regardless if a nation wins or is defeated in war they have to deal with consequences of war and find solutions to the impacted people and society. It is essential to understand that there is never a true victor in war because regardless of the outcome, fatality and a fall of morale within society on both sides are inevitable. War has often been the solution to situations that required force or violence, but in recent times this has

To begin, war itself is a disaster. It tears people and nations apart to fight for what they believe is right. In most cases, the war is unjustified and is absurdly started. Many nations

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.

In this society, people have grown to believe that your gender is what defines who you are and what you do. By using gender-based clothing such as dresses and overalls, life events, and the importance of choice, Lee suggests that gender roles can’t be pushed upon someone because they must choose and accept it themselves.

“The Tragedy of war is that it uses man’s best to do man’s worst” wise words from Henry Fosdick. When it comes down to the time where an individual hits rock bottom, a man either do its best or do its worst. Although, Man can do its best and do its worst at the same time. There are many reasons how man’s best can result to man’s worst. Henry Fosdick statement is both true and false.

War-- a horrific way of justifying our actions and the innocent lives that have been lost, but on the other hand has resolved some of the greatest conflicts in history. Not every issue ever raised in this world is resolved through negotiation and discussion, rather sometimes war becomes a necessity for countries to settle disputes. War is a part of how a society strengthens itself politically, socially, and economically however, ultimately it becomes a country’s abusive use of power.

‘War’ as defined by Webster’s Dictionary is a state of open and declared, hostile armed conflict between states or nations. Voltaire—the human personification of the Enlightenment period—says the following: “Famine, plague, and war are the three most famous ingredients of this wretched world…All animals are perpetually at war with each other…Air, earth and water are arenas of destruction. Defining war has been a political issue for centuries, and it poses a philosophical problem. Most philosophers will agree on war being a clash of arms, or a state of mutual tension between nations or states, distinguishing it from open rebellions, riots, and personal violence.

War makes all its soldiers its victims. It strips them of their innocence; all had dreams for their future. Their future will become a lost life or a life full of memories that will continue to haunt them. The memories of killing, friends being killed, almosts, etc. War contains many horrors like these.

When it comes to a novel that defines human struggles in the most realistic way possible, which one comes to mind? For me, it would be War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy. This novel is set in an early 19th century Russia, highlighting the interactions of several aristocratic Russian families against the backdrop of Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Russia and the burning of Moscow. There are several themes interwoven in the plot that speak to the dynamics of human life. The main themes of War and Peace are the irrational nature of human behaviour, family, and the search for a purpose.
