gangs of new york history vs. hollywood
The Syrian issue can be traced to Bashar al-Assad desire to stop Islamic insurgents and the success of the Arab spring in Egypt that over threw that despot government. This motivated Syrians to protest and seek the removal of Assad’s dictatorial government. To compound matter in Syria Muslims and Christians religiously divide the country. These conflicts resulted in the rise of the free Syrian army, the rebels, who have earned them selves against Assad military. In response president Assad has order swift and cruel attacks on his own people. The attacks quickly moved from traditional military attack to the use of chemical weapon by Assad. The introduction of chemical weapons, where were banned by the UN, the regime of president Assad has violated international law and needs to be brought to justice by the global community. The United States, as an important leader in the global community, should play role in easy the tensions and more specifically ending the use of chemical weapons in Syria. However, The United States should not go this road alone. This is issue of international importance and as such it should be an international coalition that works with the Syrians to resolve the issues. The untied states time after time go into other countries and try to help things out but in the end we look like the bad guy. The United States military has been perceived as the world police, due to the interventions the US has provided in the past. At times, the interventions were uninvited. The Syrian people say something should be done but no one wants to step in and do something. This is why The United States needs to get other countries to get involved with us and bring Syria to justice for betraying laws. If the United States does decide to get involved we have to get our military involved also. The reason for that is because if we decide not to and discus a solution nothing positive will come out of it. Once we have two countries army’s involved on this and

    With the introduction of chemical warfare, a much greater risk is posed to neighboring friendly and partner countries in the region, particularly Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq. If the United States shows weakness towards Syria, or pulls back from its stance on the use of chemical weapons, the Assad regime could feel motivated to carry out more attacks, possibly outside of its immediate border. Any show of weakness would also embolden Syria to begin facilitating trade with local insurgent groups (Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, etc…) that would then use the weapons against U.S. allies in the region. Each witness today has…

    In the 2002 Film “Gangs of New York” by Martin Scorsese we see New York City reshaped and changed through cultural influence of feuding individuals and groups with different ideas. On the surface the movie seems to have a straight forward theme but in the back ground we see a cultural shift as immigrants come into America and New York City. In the movie we see the political influence during that time in history, and we see social status and classes defined by material possessions such as clothing and other belongings. The movie shows the feud between two gangs who fight for dominance of the five points based off who was born in the country…

    The Revolutionary war, sparked by the colonist's anger towards taxation without representation, was a conflict between the United States and its mother country Great Britain. This event had been considered the most significant event in the American history. It separated the thirteen colonies from the tyrannical ruling of King George. The revolutionary war was not a big war, "The military conflict was, by the standards of later wars, a relatively modest one. Battle deaths on the American side totaled fewer than 5,000"1. However, the war proved that the thirteen colonies were capable of defeating the powerful Great Britain. Over the years there were many Hollywood films made based on the revolutionary war, 1776, Revolution, Johnny Tremain, and The Patriot. But, no movie has stirred up as much controversy as the Mel Gibbson movie The Patriot. The patriot is very entertaining but it is historically inaccurate. Too much Hollywood "spices" was added to the movie for viewing pleasures.…

    For 6 years Syria has been at war with itself. In these 5-6 years many people have died. And many towns and cities left and ruined. The beginning of the fifth year of the war half a quarter million people have been killed. And over 10 million have been forced to leave their homes. And it all began with the actions of peaceful protestors. Which has cost the lives of 100,000 people and forced over two million to flee to the relative safety of neighboring countries. This conflict has captured the world’s attention because of the tactics employed by the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. Unarmed civilians were attacked and killed by government troops as they searched for the most effective and seemingly brutal method for quelling this uprising. Now there are some US politicians, who feel that it is the duty of our country to get involved militarily, but this with two wars already fought the past ten years, there seems to be little to no public support for this type of move. The United States is not the world’s policeman and should let countries solve their own problems.…

    Although the actions of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad can be considered unjust and inhumane by many because of his governmental censorship, the United States should not be involved because the crisis in Syria has been on-going, and it is possible that continued intervention by the U.S. will lead to a full fledged war, especially with the United States potentially angering neighbor of Syria, Russia. The United States military force was deployed in Syria in early 2013, and since then nearly 190,000 people have died, 20,000 being in the United States military.…

    The article, “Coalition Vows To Supply Syrian Opposition,” by The Associated Press [1] speaks of the developments that are happening in Syria concerning the Syrian Uprising (2011-ongoing), which is part of Arab Spring. Arab Spring was when a wave of independence movements against totalitarian governments in the Middle East began to break out across the Arabic states. Egypt is one of the few that has been liberated from its totalitarian rule from Honsi Mubarek, who was forced to step down by the Egyptian people, and their efforts towards supporting and/or taking part in demonstrations, protests, or attacks on/against the state's totalitarian rulers. The current dictator of Syria is President Bashar al-Assad.…

    A deadly civil war has been raging for two years in Syria between the government and the rebels. Consequently, on 21st August, Damascus was struck by rockets containing chemical materials. Within hours thousands of innocent people were left profoundly distressed at the barbaric aftermath caused by these sudden attacks. 1,429 people were killed including 426 children and the manner of their deaths was unspeakably grim. The Syrian government were accused of conducting these attacks but denied allegations even though evidence clearly shows they were complicit in this deeply inhumane massacre of their own people. Should we just stand passively and allow more chemical callous carnage or should we take military action with the strong possibility that if we do so this could lead to more deaths than we imagined despite the honourable motive involved.’…

    There are four main levels of analysis Global, Interstate, Domestic, and Individual. A factor at the domestic level would be the Syrian crisis as a whole. There is a civil war going on in Syria between people with different political beliefs. The conflict is between those loyal to the government and those seeking oust it. Looking from a global level of analysis Syria has many terrorist groups that could break out and endanger Syria and the rest of the globe. Looking at Syria from an interstate level of analysis Syria boundaries are connected Lebanon Israel, Iraq, and Jordan. These are all Arabic stated but they all speak different languages and have a many different religious beliefs. Because of all these small countries are clustered on top of each other and none get along because off all the difference they have weather it religious or fighting for the rights of land that they once owned could lead to interstate wars like it already has. Looking from an Individual level of analysis power hungry and crazy leader Bashar al –Assad was ruthless towars the people of Syria not providing them with enough food or water to survive, leaving them with nothing, Syrians to try to attempt to overthrow him.…

    I can’t come to school or go to work without listening the international news. Every morning, rather than getting something to eat for breakfast I turn on the TV and flip through the channels between CNN, BBC or Aljazeera to watch the news about Syrian civil war. The Syrian civil war is an ongoing conflict that’s happening in current time. The problem started in early spring of 2011 within the context of “Arab spring” protest and nationwide demonstrations against the policy of the Syrian government. Although the United States of America has a policy of intervention and involvement in country like Syria, they should not do it because it could increase the civil war even more, it could make even more people immigrate and it will save the lives…

    The Syrian Crisis have always been interesting to me and when the opportunity came to write about it, I took the chance. Syrian war is what is really interesting about this topic because the war is like a revolution that the President started. He didn’t expect for the Sunni muslims to fight back and now it’s like a revolt against the government. It’s also interesting how the death toll is rising and more and more people are fleeing but yet other countries are yet to get involved and fix this problem that has been ongoing since 2011. This problem probably…

    The General Assembly’s Resolution 3314 defines aggression as “the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations, as set out in this definition.” It is the opinion of this justice that the Syrian Arab Republic has directly defied Resolution 3314 on accounts of armed aggression. Referring to unprovoked use of force of the Syrian regime on the territory of the Sovereign Republic of Turkey on the date of 9 April, 2012 as evidenced by the unwarranted attack and destruction of…
