Why Is Child Soldiers Wrong

Nickelodeon Nickelodeon is a big company and when your company is big , big things happen like controversies, award shows, kids favorites shows, labs where you get things done,and your network may come with some affiliations along the way. It is an American television network and owned by Nickelodeon Group . Nickelodeon was first named PinWheel. The name Pinwheel was used from 1977 to 1979 and was renamed as Nickelodeon in 1979.(Bowman,2000, page 3)”Several networks have been spun off from Nickelodeon, including TV Land like Nick at Nite, aired old broadcast-network programs; Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids Noggin for younger viewers; Nicktoons which showed current and older animated

The person I interviewed is named Zalyn Kieu. On March 4, 2017, I went to her house is located at 1888 Homegate Dr, San Jose, Ca, 95148 to interview her. Zalyn is about eighteen years old. Zalyn was born in the United States. Both her parent are Vietnamese, and they came from Vietnam. Zalyn has dark skin, with long black hair over her shoulder. She has black eyes with long black eyelashes. Zalyn weighs over one hundred pounds and she is about five feet and three inches. Her arms and legs are quite chubby. She has thin lips, white teeth, big ears that poke out slightly. Whenever she smiles, two dimple appears on her cheek. She also has a round face, and big eyes, and a pudgy nose. Her palms are big, but her fingers are not that long.

These kids are in no condition for fighting in armed rebel groups but the numbers of these kids are starting to go up. “Over 8,000 children are fighting in armed rebel groups, battling the U.S-backed government.” They are taught to kill and are forced to think that killing is a good thing, plus, the guns they are supposed to use are even heavier than most of these kids, so that clearly shows they shouldn't be using them. These child soldiers need to be put in rehabilitation instead of being put in prison, they are being forced to take drugs, they are brainwashed into thinking

Letting children soldiers receive amnesty would show that the government doesn’t enforce the law for everyone. In the United States, children who have committed a crime can take responsibility for that act at the age of fourteen. Shouldn’t the same law be in place for people who have fought in a war over fourteen? Aren’t they committing a crime too, like killing soldiers. In Child Soldiers it says, “...Many believe that child soldiers are mere replicas of child criminals; child criminals are prosecuted...If a child can be convicted for murder under these domestic laws there should be no exception for child soldiers just because their crimes occurred in wartime.” This shows that children soldiers should not be forgiven because everyone should have equal consequences for equal acts, which means children soldiers should not be given

One of the people who take this stance is a forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Welner. He has argued that Khadr, a child soldier in Guantanamo should not be given amnesty since he has killed a U.S soldier and spent years in prison being influenced by other radical jihadis. However, child soldiers should still be given amnesty since they have been forced to fight, and have only been taught by terrorists, and the U.S should take time to help those child soldiers because they are only children and have endured fighting in wars which even many adults choose not to

All around the world there are nearly 300,000 child soldiers. Should they all be prosecuted as criminals, or given the chance to change in rehab facilities? This is a very touchy topic for many people, as they may have been personally affected by child soldiers involved in violent conflicts all over the world. There are many ways the children could get into these awful wars. They could be forced into it via poverty, loss of parents, loss of home, or they join the army on their own accord, believing that they are helping the rebel cause. Child soldiers are becoming more and more common in poverty or war stricken countries. Should these children be prosecuted for doing things they have no interest in doing or be treated as victims and be allowed

Child Soldiers should be granted amnesty, if they have proven that they are not psychologically damaged. Child soldiers deserve forgiveness because they were forced to be apart of a militia. It was either a gunshot to the head or be apart of the militia. Others may think that child soldiers are just like any other crimes and don't deserve amnesty. Really it's different because they were abused and given drugs. Another reason why child soldiers should be granted amnesty is because they were drugged and brainwashed. Child soldiers should be granted amnesty for various reasons.

Child soldiers should receive amnesty, to a certain extent. This is because they are being forced to do terrible things like killing, stealing, putting others in danger, etc. According to Michel Chikwanine from an interview, he said “They handed me a gun and said shoot straight ahead (which was where they had his bestfriend stand).... I dropped the gun and took the blindfold off to see

One of the many reasons why child soldiers should have amnesty is because if they don’t get in the commander will kill he/she if they try to run away because they have no choice but to be drugged and go kill or get killed in general. The soldiers don’t know they are getting drugged badley. Child soldiers are not morally responsible for their actions. Children are often forced into fighting and have little choice over whether or not they enlist. They are following orders of adults rather than acting of their own free will. The recruiters of child soldiers also use drugs and alcohol

Ever since ancient Rome, children were used as soldiers in the army but as the world grew and matured, the use of people under the age of eighteen is now forbidden from use in armed conflict. However, places of major conflict, like Africa and Southeast Asia, still use children in their armies despite the international law against it. The children are often times grabbed right out of school unexpectedly and forced into joining rebel groups with little to no warnings at all. The usage of child soldiers grows in number each year with over two hundred thousand children in active duty today. Within those numbers, the children commit crimes like the torture of prisoners of war and civilians, and even other child soldiers. Even though child soldiers

There has been a huge conflict worldwide about child soldiers that should they be given amnesty or not .Approximately 300,000 children are in used for combat and carry armed weapons. They are being used mostly because they're the “Perfect Weapon” to the commanders.This means that children don't react of their action they take and do know what are doing most of the time.Personally,I think that children should be given amnesty because there are not morally responsible for their actions.

Worldwide, the use of child soldiers is a huge issue. Today, there are over 300,000 child soldiers worldwide. Every one of these soldiers are heavily armed and dangerous. They have been becoming a threat to America and the world. No matter their age, they have done terrible thing in behalf of terrible causes. Even as America continues to bring these kids to back in hope to rescue them, most if not all attempts to civilize them have failed. These kids have been swindled, drugged and brainwashed. There is simply no hope for them to return to their right mind.

There is a conflict going on around the world on whether child soldiers should be punished or given amnesty. In the continents of Asia, Africa, and the country of Columbia , armed forces are using children between the ages of eight to fifteen to fight in their military (Gettleman 8-9). Child soldiers should be given amnesty because they believed they would be safe at the military base, their punishment is a psychological trauma, and they did not know any better because they were drugged.

Around 120,000 adolescent children are now engaged in conflicts throughout Africa (“Child Soldiers: An Overview” 4). In Sudan, for instance, thousands of children, some as young as 12, were recruited against their will into separatist and government groups (“Child Soldiers: An Overview” 5). Thousands more children have been enlisted into the armed forces throughout Asia and the Pacific. The most significant numbers are in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and recently, Cambodia. Myanmar, a country in Asia, has some of the most child soldiers throughout the world, with children being recruited into both non-government and government armed forces (“Child Soldiers: An Overview” 6). The number of child soldiers has been decreasing annually, but these children are still being taken against their will.

Edgar Allan Poe’s imaginary universe in his short prose is based on ideas like death, fear, burial, mourning, selfhood, and on the versions or faces the human mind or phyche can take. Such images outlines a romantic conscience, preoccupied with the analysis of selfhood, choosing a gothic environment for his short and dense stories. As expected, his prose gravitates towards thriller, horror or detective stories, styles of literary fiction that he elaborated the most as a writer. The aim of this essay is to show how the concept of selfhood and its modern variations appears in E.A. Poe’s prose, emphasizing the distinction between I and You, or self and others. As mainly psychological thrillers, one of the main ideas Poe underlines in
