As reader leader‚ I decided to do my summary on “What Is a Just War?” by Jean Bethke Elshtain. Elshtain opens by discussing the main priority of any government: providing security‚ thus ensuring tranquility. Elshtain makes the point that civic peace and security are the foundations for all the other human rights. For example‚ for someone to exercise their right of freedom of speech‚ that person should be able to exercise their right without fear of consequence. A flaw‚ as Elshtain points out‚ in

War in Afghanistan Just War theory points out that there can be motives for going to war that do have a moral content‚ and just war theory claims that war can‚ under certain conditions‚ be morally justified. Proportionality is perhaps the most utilitarian of all Just War tenets. It calls upon leaders not to lose their head and engage in costly conflict if there are cheaper (e.g. economic‚ diplomatic) options available to them. There are three main opponents to the Just War theory: the decision to

Table of Contents Introduction Just-in-time is a new system created by Taiichi Ohno in Japan in the early 1970s at a Toyota car assembly plant. It was created to reduce cost and eliminate inventory. Basically the idea of JIT is to produce necessary items at the necessary time in the necessary quantity needed.

Progressive A Just Cause‚ Not a Just War by Howard Zinn I believe two moral judgments can be made about the present "war": The September 11 attack constitutes a crime against humanity and cannot be justified‚ and the bombing of Afghanistan is also a crime‚ which cannot be justified. And yet‚ voices across the political spectrum‚ including many on the left‚ have described this as a "just war." One longtime advocate of peace‚ Richard Falk‚ wrote in The Nation that this is "the first truly just war since
