Wars And The Oppressed : Avoidable Tragedy

War Without Mercy: Race & Power in the Pacific War by John W. Dower centered around the war in Pacific in World War Two in which the two main antagonists were narrowed to United States and Japan, rather than Allied and Axis Power. The author divided the book into four parts. Part one classified the war as a race war and provided proof and explanation supporting this argument. Part two and part three explored and explained the roots of the racism, sentimentalism that Americans held against Japanese, and vice versa, respectively. Part four summarized the casualties as well as circumstances that countries faced postwar, and explained how extreme prejudices had dispersed so quickly immediately at war end.

War-- a horrific way of justifying our actions and the innocent lives that have been lost, but on the other hand has resolved some of the greatest conflicts in history. Not every issue ever raised in this world is resolved through negotiation and discussion, rather sometimes war becomes a necessity for countries to settle disputes. War is a part of how a society strengthens itself politically, socially, and economically however, ultimately it becomes a country’s abusive use of power.

War has freed oppressed people and allowed them to feel a sense of pride about where they are from and how they got there. The Revolutionary War is a key example of this, the colonists felt violated and that their government was oppressing their natural rights. They fought with everything they had to break away, and the country became the United States of America. Today, people from the United States are very proud of what the colonists accomplished. They allowed America to be free, and to become great. When war allows people to form a better government, it is very beneficial. Without the Revolutionary War, America would not be America, and therefore it would never have become the world leader it is today. War has also saved people. In many instances, such as World War ll, war has actually saved lives. If no

War is a horrible thing that comes out of hatred in people’s hearts and produces tragedy around it. War comes and goes but in its path are people who have to suffer through the hardships it brings. Two of the most notable aspects of war is that war is a fight for power and that produces loss of family.

In the end, war can overcome a substantial issue that people have been dealing with for years. On the other hand, war can lead to humongous destruction. It can cause us to hate each other. War can cause us to become greedy animals. It all depends on the outcome of the war.

There are people who believe war must happen to make a great change to better a country. People believe that the soldiers are brave and that they are doing heroic acts, the war will save them from the unrest within their own country, and that additional territory will be granted to them. War seems to be the answer to a lot of peoples’ questions. It plays an important role in America’s government and in their political standpoint.

War is a disaster decided not by the desires of the many, but the greed of a few. All wars have played along these lines. In ancient times it was for the glory of a monarch or nation but in modern times the reasons are fairly superficial if not unknown to most. The lives of so many innocent and unknowing people are snuffed out in pointless global tussles between nations. Leaders with a thirst for power or money send young men and women to die while filling their minds with empty promises of honour and glory.

Nobody ever said or ever agreed that war was a good thing; War is known to bring destruction, sadness and death. But looking at what comes after war, one would be surprised to realize that the outcomes of war, in the long run, bring something better than what was there before: innovation, progress and money.

War can be simply described as a widespread and deliberate armed conflict between political communities. Examining historical wars, we see that war was ultimately about governance; a violent way for determining who gets to be in charge, who gets wealth, land, and resources, or which laws are made. If a peaceful process or resolution couldn’t be agreed upon, then war was the ultimate way of deciding these issues. An example of a profound, significant war that occurred in history is World War 2, an international war. World War 2, specifically the war between U.S. and Japan raised several ethical issues regarding targeting civilian in wartime.

War is a useless and a ferocious way to settle political problems between two nations that will only cause an infinite number of casualties and deaths. They give absolutely no advantage to both nations yet it is still being used so settle problems. They have existed ever since people realized how power can be important; however what they did not know is that if put in the wrong hands it can cause pain and misery to all the people involved.

“War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children. This famous quote is from James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., who served as the 39th President of the United States. It implies that war can be justified under strict circumstances where it can be necessary, but it is still abhorrent. War is defined as a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country. Justification refers to the action of showing something to be right or reasonable. War brings many negative and catastrophic impacts not just to the country, but to the people living in the country as well, which this paper

War is something that has been around since the beginning of time. Whether it was the Romans, Greeks, Huns, or any one of hundreds of civilizations, they have made war into what it is today. War has become something so much more that a fight on land, war is fought in the skies, on the ground, and on the sea, Its fought in war rooms and boardrooms. Today wars live and die with the preparation that goes into them. Today’s armies have more and more young men and women signing up to sacrifice their lives for the good of their country even though war is being criticized for being gruesome and inhumane more than ever. But what many people

Many people have probably heard Bruce Springsteen belt out the famous lines, “War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!” However, Mr. Springsteen would be wrong in that statement. While war is horrible, it ironically has propelled us on a course that has made us richer, safer, and lead to progress and development. War has led to the establishment of larger societies, it is justifiable and necessary in some instances, and leads to an immense amount of progress and development in society and technologies.

War is controversial, unfortunate, and certainly misunderstood; it is a transforming agent, a catalyst for change. Nonetheless, many people focus on war's negative consequences, while positive effects are downplayed. War is a necessary evil in the sense that it stabilizes population, encourages technological advances, and has a very high economic value. Without war, the overpopulation of the human race is inevitable. It is this reason that war is a useful tool by not only Mother Nature, but also humans themselves to institute population control.

War can mean many different things to many different people. War is complex and complicated. It has the ability to produce many different feelings, such as, aggression, depression, pain, confusion, and pride among many others. War can last for days or even years. It leaves a trail of destruction in its path, along with havoc and despair. It impacts those that are involved in the war itself, along with the families of those involved. Society is also impacted by war, both economically and emotionally.
