    The Opium War

    The Opium War The Opium War‚ directed by Jin Xie‚ paints a rather impartial account of the Opium War‚ starting with the appointment of Lin Zexu to end the opium trade in China to the signing of the Treaty of Nanking. This film seemed to fairly depict the faults of both the Chinese and the British during the 1830’s and up to 1842. That said‚ The Opium War illustrated two important factors that both helped to promote the conflict and eventual military confrontation between China and Britain.

    Reflection Paper 1: Just War Many people ponder to the question: when is war just? We also ponder if war is necessary and when is it necessary and if there are other ways to settle the discrepancy. Throughout time war has brought on a lot of pain‚ pressure and countless number of casualties. And to me I believe it is not fair to innocent worldwide citizens. To experience or to hear about such destruction and chaos brings a shiver down my spine. Why do countries have to go to war? Why can’t they settle

    Civil War Essay Prior to reading the book The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara I must say that I was extremely ignorant to the topic of the Civil War. If someone were to ask me why the Civil War took place I would say plain and simple‚ “slavery.” Although slavery was the main cause for the war‚ I didn’t understand how or why the topic of slavery was ever a debate. There are very few people in today’s society that can say without hesitation that slavery was at all ethical or moral. The mere thought

    Tristan Thurlow Is War Ever Justified? War is one of the most terrible things the human race has invented. It sends more people to their death than anything else we force upon ourselves. Voltaire once said‚ “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished‚ unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” This portrays the true irony of war‚ so many would say war is never justified. Many‚ perhaps even the majority of wars are not. However‚ never is a very strong
