(p. 175) 2. A) Michael Walzer’s stance is against Cohen‚ in reference to reprisals. Michael Walzer denies the idea that reprisals are the only solution. In the German and French resistance case‚ Walzer offers an alternative method. He states that the French should have raided German prison camps‚ name and shame the German war criminals‚ and threaten to conduct reprisals; not actually doing them. Walzer heavily advocates against attacking innocent civilians‚ and believes there are other alternatives

Michael Walzer (1977) states that ‘the aiming points are to be the built-up areas‚ not‚ for instance‚ the dockyards or aircraft factories‚ the raids were explicitly declared to the destruction of civilian morale’. Walzer also points out that a study made in 1941 indicated that of those planes that actually succeeded in attacking their target (about two thirds of

Russia‚ for example‚ was bound by treaty to Serbia‚ therefore Russia’s government announced it mobilization‚ which turned out to be very slow. Germany‚ on the other hand‚ was bound by treaty to Austria-Hungary and viewed the Russian mobilization as a threat to Austria-Hungary. Thus‚ on August 1 Germany had declared war against Russia (Walzer‚

As Michael Walzer argues in his work on ethical warfare‚ Just and Unjust Wars‚ humanitarian interventions can be just when the survival of populations and entire ethnic groups are seriously compromised. For that‚ it needs a just cause (jus ad bellum)‚ to be fought justly (jus in bello) and jus post bellum‚ a guarantee of just peace once fighting ceases. A military intervention in Syria may be justified‚ but not without abiding by the rigorous guidelines laid out

American political theorist‚ Michael Walzer‚ boldly declares‚ “[t]here is no country called America. We live in the United States of America‚ and we have appropriated the adjective ‘American’ even though we can claim no exclusive title to it” (Walzer 591). There remains a dichotomy regarding “hyphenated Americans” and accepting the influence of other cultures on the United States‚ a country with an admittedly blended history. Therefore‚ as writers such as Walzer question: who is a truly an accurate

From Christian perspective the function of the JWT was simply an excuse of making war morally and religiously possible writes Michael Walzer. He also agrees with its defendants‚ that it made war possible in a world where war was‚ sometimes‚ necessary.

Michael Walzer argues against the realist view stating that war does fall under the aegis of morality rather than not. He states in his view that it is possible to fight a morally justified war and it is possible to fight it morally well. He uncovers the truth behind his view in a threefold argument which includes the melian dialogue‚ an analogy between strategy and morality‚ and a comparison on historical relativism. By uncovering his threefold argument‚ Walzer makes it very clear the morality is

Terrorism In his article “Terrorism‚” Michael Walzer describes terrorism as the indiscriminate murder of innocent people. He goes on to explain that terrorists have the objective of destroying the morale of a nation and instilling fear within a society by not targeting a specific group of people‚ but rather‚ targeting the population as a whole and killing “random” people. Walzer and many like-minded philosophers share the view that terrorism is wrong and is not justified under any circumstances;
