organization responsible for the implementation of the National Service Training Program which

    In “To Peacekeep Or Not To Peacekeep” James Ash argues that if we consider both the pragmatic and ethical view we can see how peace keeping is the best role for Canadians to take. However, although Ash describes peacekeeping as essential to Canada’s identity, if we look critically at this essay you will find that Ash’s argument is flawed in numerous ways. Ash provides a subjective view in favor of peacekeeping without giving a fair representation to the disadvantages of peacekeeping. Specifically if one looks at Ash’s appeal to motive and false dilemma then one can assess if Ash’s arguments are considered credible and sound.…

    In essence, a thing is characterized as an object having both physical and physiological components. As cliché as it seems, a picture has a thousand words. Although a person’s eyes tend to produce the same image over and over again, he or she will see things in a different perspective every time. In time, a person’s perspective on certain things will change overtime no matter how set in stone the status-quo is. Personal experiences play a large role in shaping someone’s outlook on things. In John Knowles’ novel, A Separate Peace, Gene states, “So the more things remain the same, the more they change after all” (Knowles 6). This quote is being used as much older and mature Gene returns to Devon and reflects upon his childhood at the school. Although Devon looks physically the same to Gene as it did 15 years ago, he comes to realization that his view of the school and the things inside of it have changed.…

    A lot of effort has been devoted to analyzing the protracted bloody wars of the 20th Century when mass killings were “perpetrated by and against a wide range of nations, cultures, forms of government, ethnic and religious groups” (Mingst and Snyder 2008, 368) with brazen zeal to wipe out entire races for power and control. For most disposed people of the world – the ‘bottom billion’ as Collier refers to them, unchecked power takes away the freedom of the other and replaces it with terror and the primitive fear of being controlled. It is estimated that during the 20th Century alone, between 60 million to 150 million people have died in episodes of mass killings while international and civil wars accounts for about 34 million deaths (Mingst and Snyder 2008, 368).…

    Learning, growing, and sharing—these three verbs, seemingly passive, have become some of the most active values in my life. With a naïve worldview shattered and my heart open to the needs of the world, I, as a seventh grade student, left Heifer International’s Ranch in Arkansas, after participating in an experiential education poverty simulation. I grew into the role of an enlightened global citizen with aspirations of acting on what I had learned about food security, poverty and the environment. Fast forward nearly a decade and I am sharing, living, working and acting on what I had learned with Heifer International in the role of Residential Education Volunteer at Heifer Farm in Rutland, Masachusetts. I have been able to delve deeper into topics of cultural exchange,…

    The army works under a lot of duress in an environment that is not only dangerous but also keeps changing. Thus, it is important that soldiers are adaptable, creative, and agile to survive in such an environment. Although agility, adaptability, and innovativeness can be achieved by experience, training and education of soldiers is critical in the creation of agile, adaptive, and creative soldiers (Grossman, 2001). Hence, governments must ensure soldiers are educated, trained, and developed to have the intellectual and physical capacity to study, understand and adapt to the prevailing security conditions (Grossman, 2001). Particularly important is the adequate training and education of army leaders and joint and interstate military…
