The Unknown Entities of PTSD in American Soldiers Every American soldier endured rigorous training to become the soldier they are today, but throughout all this training, there are a few things that a soldier can't simply learn. Training and development is treated as preparation for war situations, and much like ordinary grade school, they are tested to see how well each soldier does in each area (Huerta, 2014). Even after all this organizing and teaching, a soldier's mind is still just as human

I was watching TV and I saw a commercial about the downtown renovations in Fort Wayne. This caught my attention because the commercial did not go into detail about what exactly the renovations will look like. It made me curious as to what aspects of downtown will be changed, how they will go about renovating, and the timeframe and budget involved with these renovations.

When first published in 1961, the American edition of A Clockwork Orange omits this

Ted Talk Script Pashtuns and Hazara’s! Sunni and Shi’a Muslims. Two groups of people that live in the same country, breathe the same air and drink the same water, but are divided by one thing! Now what is that one thing, you might wonder? Well that one thing is, social class. Social class might sound like some sort of innocent word to you, but for many, it divides the way you live, eat and survive as a person in a society. Afghanistan as a whole has a very diverse landscape with different types of

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess takes up many themes throughout the novel. It is known for its candor with violence and its expressive nature regarding it. The novel is narrated by Alex, a fifteen-year-old boy, who tells the story of his ultra-violent acts and journey through reformation by the state. Alex belongs to a violent subculture created by teenagers and lurks the night with his droogs (gang members) in effort to rape, steal, assault, and abuse drugs. In the novel, Burgess argues that

wrong another, is said person guilty of an immoral act? Moreover, if someone helps another simply out of a selfish or malevolent interest, is the person in question still able to be considered moral? These are the difficult questions that define Anthony Burgess’s novel A Clockwork Orange, in which anti-hero Alex, after a spate of heinous and objectively immoral acts, is forced by the government to undergo a treatment rendering him unable to commit such acts.

A Comparison of the Themes of A Clockwork Orange and The Grand Inquisitor Freedom is the insurmountable, unobtainable goal of every man, to do whatever they want without suppression. Free will is the concept proposed by the mind and executed by the body, to openly control its actions without outside comments. Freedom and free-will come at a price. Millions of people across the span of time have laid down their life to close the deficit to pay for these two things. During the Revolutionary War, the

I am reading Fear by Michael Grant and I am on page 509. I finished the book. This book is about Sam, Caine, and their army fighting against the Gaiaphage and trying to free themselves from the horror of the FAYZ.

monasteries and stay for a few days. Therefore, hermits must have discernment and be able to discipline themselves to stay on course with what God’s scriptures tell them to do. If they fall off course, they pray and confess their sins to God. Abba Anthony in The Sayings of the Desert Fathers said that the great work of hermits was to “always take the blame for his own sins before God and to expect temptation to his last breath” (Ward 2). Everyone will always have temptations, it’s what makes them human
