Because America was so afraid of the Domino effect (communism spreading)‚ the stood up to communist regimes. Another internal cause of the collapse of the Soviet

I had always thought that war was a fascinating topic. It wasn’t until I interviewed someone that had lived during the Vietnam War‚ that I realized war is terrible. That interview made me decide that I didn’t want to do a research paper on the Vietnam War. I decided to do something else that had a major impact on peoples lives. More specifically my grandpa‚ who contracted polio before there was a cure. The memoir that I read was interesting‚ but I felt that it was more well known than the cure

In 1971‚ President Nixon declared and implemented the War on Drugs. Since that time‚ the U.S. has spent approximately 1 trillion dollars funding this campaign.

Freedom is what a lot of Americans take for granted‚ and now they find less then what they really want.

in savage behavior that is normally forbidden in society. In The Wars by Timothy Findley‚ however‚ soldiers act in violent ways even when they are not actively engaged in battle. The inherently savage nature of humankind is evident when Robert Ross kills the German soldier after the gas attack‚ when Robert is raped in the baths‚ and when Robert kills Captain Leather.

War Photographer The theme that I am about to explore is death. Death is a scary event that will happen to everyone. Every moment of the day someone dies‚ and unfortunately innocent people are getting killed every day from these vicious wars going on in the world. No one seems to think about others and how they feel. Guns‚ bombs‚ gas attacks‚ they all kill and take lives of parents‚ children or even whole villages. In the poem “War Photographer” death is the main theme. It talks about two sides
