Essay: Bring back conscription & Conscription? No way!
The number of people who are joining the military is decrease sharply in recent years. Some people think that it is a good thing because war is not happening. However, other people argue that young people need to join the army to build their characteristics and improve their physically. According to Dennis De Souza in ‘’Conscription? No way!”, published in Daily Tribune on Wednesday 3 November 2010, we are living in a peaceful region and there are several better ways to making a contribution to society so people do not have to join the army. In contrast, Colonel R J Blythe in “Bring back conscription”, published in Daily Tribune, Wednesday 27 October 2010 believes that joining the army is the best way for young people to have self –respect, job training related-skills and the way out of their poor background. The purpose of this essay is to critically respond to both authors.
In the first argument, Blythe states that with the help of the military, young people not only improve their social skills but also their physically. Furthermore, the experience and the knowledge that they could have in the military are more than what they could learn at college. Secondly, the military provides free and good tutors for them to train their jobs in the future such as computers or logistics. As a result, young people will have a chance to do many jobs after they return from the military. Secondly, they will have good friendships when they travel to many places and meet many people.
Souza’s first argument is that there is no reason for us to spending time in the military. A people now live in a peaceful world with no threats, no enemies and good relationships with neighboring countries. Second, the author claims that young people need to have a choice to decide what useful activities they have to do to contribute a country. It is better if they work in a school
