I was in study hall scrolling through YouTube and under the “recommended” was a video called “If I was the devil”. Thinking nothing of it‚ just out of pure curiosity‚ I clicked on it.

Western society is living in a current ‘state of terror’ which‚ through the United States governments ‘terror of the state’ response‚ has led to an attrition of basic human rights. The fear of terrorism is constantly reinforced through prominent news coverage of terrorist cells‚ murderous attacks and prominent world leaders warnings.

IsIs War Ever Justified War‚ although being described by those who have survived it as hell‚ is in my opinion a necessary part of life in some sense in order to expand in many ways like socially‚ economically‚ and politically. In terms of social changes brought on by war‚ war often teaches us lessons about how to better our behaviour and attitudes in terms of our association both domestically and foreign.

In the book ‘Kill the Possum’ I think the author is demonstrating to the readers that everyone needs to be responsible for their actions and aware of the consequences of the effects of their actions on others. Also the lies people will say when they want to protect what is close to them. As Dylan became friends with this family

killing is morally justified‚ my outlook on this topic is no‚ no killing is ever really justified. As a believer in the Catholic faith‚ it is my duty is to live by the 10 Commandments‚ and commandment number 5 is “You Shall Not Kill.” This is unfortunately not seen in the epic poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge‚ as well as in today’s heated debates over euthanasia‚ abortion or even capital punishment. In “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” killing is not justified‚ and in cases

Is violence ever justified? The debate about the use of violence has been on going for the last decade. Violence‚ the act of causing physical harm to another person willingly‚ has often been categorized as being an uncivilized‚ unjustified act.

One being prevention‚ while the other side is saying there is a potential execution of an innocent man; and the other says justice and punishment; and last one says execution is murder. Murder as we know is clearly part of our society‚ and surely it is evident that something needs to be done about it. A variety of felonies
