The White Helmet's Ethos Analysis
The ethos used in this short film is very strong. One of the White Helmets mentioned in his interview that it was in Talmud that whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. On the contrast, whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world. Thus, the white helmets become volunteers to save people in danger from their previous professions including pharmacists, teachers and so on. They are the hope of Syria. They are humanitarians and defenders. It is sad that at least one hundred and thirty White Helmets have lost their lives while saving someone else’s life. There are also attacks targeted on the White Helmets headquarters. However, the White Helmets are still fighting to save lives. I

    As an American Soldier we are instilled a code of ethics from the moment we bestow the uniform the Warrior Ethos or Army Values which we mainly refer it as. It is a code of conduct which instills basic ethics to our everyday lives which we honor and live by on a day by day basis. About a year ago I was faced with an ethical dilemma while working as a Human Resources Clerk for my organization. A higher ranking Service Member approached me in my workplace and offered me a monetary amount for the exchange of updating his records with a military award he has never received. I was baffled and shock that a Sergeant First Class in the United States Army would ask a Junior Soldier for such a request knowingly jeopardizing his career and my own. He…

    From symbolizing the collectivism and heroism of the Army and its commanders, it now represents a broken system. One that relays on dysfunction and abandonment of its commanders. The film Hill 24 Doesn’t answer sends a strong message of unity and heroism. It establishes the connection between a soldier’s heroic acts and the wellbeing of the state of Israel. However, the Yom Kippur war created a shift in the perception of the Army, as can be seen in the satire Hill Halfon Doesn’t answer. The most prominent change, however, can be seen with the 2007 film Beaufort and the manifestation of the Zionist antiwar discourse. The once brave soldier is portrayed as a victim of the system, and the commanders as the ones who are responsible for that destructive system. There is a saying in Israel- “they are all our children”. This refers to the fact that the public must protect the soldiers from the war and from the Army itself. Hopefully, there will come a day when Army service in Israel is no longer mandatory. Id that cannot happen, then one can hope the Army will take the responsibility of raising and caring for Israel’s…

    It is very frightening walking around the area because one can erupt and kill the soldier. “Kill him if he’s lucky. If he’s unlucky, he will be turned into a blind, deaf, emasculate, legless shell. It was not warfare. It was murder” (288). I never thought that being in the war was that intense. Everywhere people went, they have to look around for grenades, mines, guns, rifles, or even the enemy around because they would never know what or who would be shot first. One day, Caputo and his platoon planned to ambush the Viet Minh at a village near Danang. They were settled to fire at the Viet soldiers, but they saw many people trying to run away to a place to protect their children, they had their doubts. Even when they see the all these Vietnamese people, especially the innocent ones, see many deaths and injuries through the battle from their actions, all they have to do is face the truth and move on. When I read this, I thought about my family, when they tried to run away to safety. They saw many close family and friends die during the one in many battles that happened in the war, and it is tragic for me to see when they cry about it once it a…

    After reading Dunbar’s poem, “We Wear the Mask,” I feel the poem was meant for an educated audience since the dialect was written in Standard English. In the first line, “We wear the mask that grins and lies,” the African American people are telling their side of the story through this poem. How they truly feel is contrary to their smiles, although, they suppose that things should not be any different. The author is trying to show the audience that many African-Americans are putting on a front for the world to see while, they endure their pain silently.…

    When they first met each other there reaction towards one another surprised me because right away, without even knowing them they were mean and talking in rude language. Even though they were out of the war zone, when they found out that the other group of boys was on the RUF side they started a fight. Without asking any questions they got out there Bayonet out, grenades and what not else they had. 6 people were killed that day and they hadn’t even been fighting that long yet. It took me by surprise to see the reaction of these kids and that right away without hesitating they started shooting, cutting and trying to kill each other. Right away you can see the extreme damage that the war has done, and how the lives of these boys had changed forever. They could now kill anybody without even thinking about it, and when they had done so they didn’t feel anything else towards the dead people. They didn’t think about how it would change their lives. It’s sad to read that these young boys could now shot, slice and kill people just like that. The they have no respect towards older or other people in general, and most of all that they all smoke and do drugs…

    Just as Khaled changes his stance about suicide bombing, the movie enlightens the viewers and gives many people a different concept from what they originally had thought about terrorism. Through Suha, the film gives the viewers a different point of view about martyrdom. Many Palestinians fall into the trap of becoming terrorists merely because they want to become martyrs. The movie opens the viewer’s eyes that there is no martyrdom through martyring oneself. Even the director humanizes his characters in the film, and he does not glorify them at the end. He did not make Khaled out to be a hero even though the boys accept going to Tel Aviv because he believes there is no heroism in killing. The result of war is simply killing the innocent citizens and triggering war as the enemy will always…

    All Quiet on the Western Front was a story of a group of young children, nineteen years old or so, who enlisted in the military on the advice of one of their professors. They were told, and believed, that they would be seen as heroes in everyone’s eyes, and that they were doing such great things for their country and showing extreme nationalism and patriotism. As the months went on, fighting on the front lines, these men realized that this life was nothing like what they were told the military life would be. They were promised fame. This was not the case and through their time in the trenches these men were stripped of their humanity, grew to hate their commanding officers, and were fighting purely for survival to see another day.…

    Once more, the three main icons key to helping child soldiers is we firstly need to be considerate and not let them wander off freely. Secondly, research must be done to find out how they feel about killing and what's going on around them. Are the passionate about such events, or do they despise them. And finally we must clarify what kind of state they’re in. Meaning the kind of schools in which they have been taught in. Are they being yelled at by a general, or simply being taught in a school. Crucial evidence may lead to more investigations and might someday end child…

    Yes I do believe that the military will be excepting of a culture changes. The culture of the military is forever going to be changing. It may not be as great as desegregation, woman’s rights, or as great as the LGBT movement. The world is changing and if you do not change with it you fall behind. I think the military is more open to change now than it was back in war ll. I do believe the military we able to handle the culture changes that it counters in the present and future. Because of what we've learned with in our own country. This will benefit us when learning other cultures around the world. We have never fight a war in our own country. So we should be open to new cultures if we are going to be in other countries. So times I think that the United States thinks it’s the only country in the world and that other people do not matter. Life outside the states if very different and uncommon to us. If we do not know their culture then how are we to understand who they are, what they believe in and why are they are fighting. This will help the goal of the military if the soldiers are well educated in the culture that they are fighting against. In many of the videos we watched in class a number of times the soldiers were talking to the local people. This is where I think educating the soldiers really…
