Nye’s purpose in the first reading is to try and formulate an accurate definition of technology as he sees the current state of the term, which more or less encompasses only complex machines such as computers, is a far too simplistic way to view what is and is not technology.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the resulting War on Terror, the use of drones for attack purposes has increased dramatically. They are designed and used to hunt down individuals or small groups and eliminate them without the need for sending in soldiers. Drone strikes are effective in efficiently

Colombia’s civil war between the government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) has spanned more than 50 years and caused the death of more than 220,000 people; the disappearance of over 25,000; and, the displacement of almost 6 million. Both government and rebel forces are guilty of significant human rights violations, including kidnapping, rape, torture, maiming, hijacking, and assassination. The result is a bitterly divided nation, tired from war, and searching for a solution

pleas for we did not want to start this war for all we wanted see to were our trees. However, little did we know we were still trapped inside ourselves, for as many people we could kill or bury in guilt, we were deprived of one thing that we knew we would never see, Peace. That word was soon yearned, missed, and wished for our future generations wouldn't have a chance at it. Peace. The one thing a man named Martin Luther King soon hoped to achieve. Peace. A war was started that no one could win, for

Child soldiers should be given amnesty for what they did in the battlefield. Usually they are all drugged up by their commanders to know what they're doing is wrong. The Geneva Convention does not stipulate the age of criminal responsibility. “The godfather of all human right laws, The Geneva Convention, obliges all states to act on grave breaches of human rights, but does not stipulate the age of criminal responsibility.” If the Geneva Convention does not state the age of criminal responsibility

The existence of cyberterrorism has been around since the 1980’s, but defining cyberterrorism has proven to be difficult especially within the United States.

Each agency has there own distinct understanding of

always in constant threat from his commander because in Beah’s book, he explains how dangerous it could be if you disobeyed. Many children were massacred. There are 200,000 children forced into fighting a pointless and unrewarding war. All of them suffer everyday from the war, it’s become all they know.

Sameul L. Clemmons,also known as Mark Twain wrote a short story titled, "The War Prayer." In which he talked about a battle soon to be faught, presumably the Spanish/American War. I really liked this essay because of how it relates to today's world and the battles that are faced daily.
