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.

Pirandello’s short story is that there is a pain intrinsic to war that cannot be placated. Pirandello’s story is so powerful because it thematically breaks through many of the common associations with war. It strips away nationalism or love of country as a part of the justification of war. It takes away the notion of war being a part of a youthful adventure that young people must endure. It strikes at the heart that lies at all war. There is only death.

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.

War can take a toll on the mind‚ body‚ and soul of a man. In “The things they carried” by Tim O’ Brien‚ the author sympathetically describes not only the physical weight a soldier must carry while in combat‚ but also the emotional baggage that also comes along with war. O’ Brien starts out the story by talking about First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross‚ who was the leader of his brigade in the Vietnam war. Cross carried around letters from a girl named Martha who he loved dearly‚ although he didn’t think

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
