Throughout the history of wars, mankind has used a variety of different techniques to gain the upper hand in battle. But sadly, some countries have become so desperate that they would even use children as soldiers. Even today, children are being used as soldiers so that countries can gain the upper hand in wars. As a result of the children experiencing this, some of them have started to write books about their experience. In the book A Long Way Gone written by Ishmeal Beah.

This week, Ted Rall analyzes the positive aspects about presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton’s campaign, as well as the negative. He states that Clinton has acquired many “followers” because she has professed herself as a “progressive” individual, but there is scant proof indicating that she has actually accomplished anything reputable. Rall also suggests that Clinton is one who steals ideas from Sanders--bringing up the health care issue to gain more followers. Although, many people have already acknowledged her motive. Rall also reports that her personality is something that causes many to go against her, claiming that she possesses no charm whatsoever, which is a trait that may provider her with publicity and many more voters. According

Purpose of Laurel writing this book is to share the diaries of many children in the holocaust and world war II. Many of these children from all over the world were very young, between the ages of 8 and 18, that had experienced trauma, maybe even PTSD. The trauma that they have experienced shapes their lives and were their testimonies to share so that many people would know the real and cruel world that they were living in. She wrote this to show that there was no way out for these children and that they were going to live with and through this for the rest of their lives by themselves,

Children exposed to violence within their communities are left with emotions of hopelessness, insecurity, and doubt. Historical events such as the war on terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the tragic events of September 11th have had a detrimental effect on the entire nation, including the children. Although every child is not directly affected by the aspects of war, it somehow has an emotional effect on all. The involvement of a nation with war affects every individual differently, whether it is out of fear, anger, doubt, hope, or love. In the short novel A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, he narrates the story by telling his own involvement in the Civil War in Sierra Leone as young boy and the many issues he faces while living in

A young boy, attempting to have a normal childhood in 1980's El Salvador, is caught up in a dramatic fight for his life as he desperately tries to avoid the war, which is raging all around him. This is a sad reality of many people, who are immersed in a society full of violence and without values, where innocent families including children, lose their lives unfairly by a conflict in which they are not participating, affecting notably their emotional well-being and quality of life. However, despite these conflicts, they seek ways to get by living with the war despite limitations in health, education and expression.

These children with malleable identities became the material needed for nations to rebuild themselves. Nations and organizations picked and chose which children to keep and how to keep them without consulting the children. Zahra argues that nations and humanitarian organizations used children as pawns for nationalistic purposes, using the child’s “best interests” as an excuse. Zahra begins by giving a brief overview of various cases of displaced children in postwar Europe.

No one can imagine or realize the sadness and suffering that war brings to people from all walks of life. In “My Parents’ Bedroom”, by Uwem Akpan and “The Man I Killed”, by Tim O’Brien, both stories talk about the pain and suffer that war brings to the narrator as well as the suffering that is happening in the narrative. In “My Parents’ Bedroom”, the protagonist Monique is a little girl who lost her mother because of the genocidal killings of Tutsi, in a small village in Rwanda. Monique has to understand the truth of the cruel and haunted world that she lives in little by little, even though she does not want to accept the reality. Akpan makes the genocide that is happening feel real and makes the events comes to life in his story.

First a quote from “Armed & Underage” is “Their growth has been stunted by conflict-induced famines, their psyches damaged by all the killings they have witnessed.” The quote is showing that children who should be going through a fun childhood are now scarred by mass killings of other soldiers because of the wars and conflicts going on in their respective countries. This is also showing that all young kids going into the

After the world war II, there have had many conflicts over the world. The most vulnerable groups during war seem to be women and children. The Convention on the Rights of Child (CRC), defines a child as [every person under the age of eighteen]1. Children are very affected by armed conflicts. Their life is at risk, they are victims of abduction, trafficking and they can be used as soldiers during war. The Paris Principle defines a child soldier as “any person under 18 years of age who is or who has been recruited or used by any armed force or armed group in any capacity, including but not limited to children, boys and girls, used as fighters, cooks, porters, messengers, spies or for sexual purposes ”2. Children are either forcible recruited

Every day, thousands of children around the world wake up in the morning, grab their shoes and backpacks and head to school. Thousands of other children pick up their AK-47s and head to battle. The issue of child soldiers is as complex as it is atrocious, and its heinous nature has prompted the international community to pour vast amounts of time and resources into finding a solution. Despite humanitarian and government organizations’ best efforts, the numbers have remained relatively static over the decades, with over 300,000 underage combatants worldwide (Vautravers 96). Many scholars have declared the U.N.’s current policy as a failure and offered up proposals of their own, ranging from placement of sanctions to international

The popular saying, "all is fair in love and war" has been used through time by writers, poets, and artists of different concentrations; although for this paper "war" is all we need. For an expression that has been repeated through time by some of earth's finest, how much accuracy lies behind it? In times of war, every and anything is done in order to accomplish a political goal. Leaders often overlook the moral dilemma of certain actions in war, especially if it yields successful results. However, war is a human activity and all human actions must be governed by law; thus, bringing about the moral justification of war. Children often fall into this conversation, especially in combat. Children are often used as combatants in wars, and although this may be atrocious in nature, it dials back into the very first line of this paper. The Just War Traditions will be my starting point in this argument. Wars are fought by combatants but waged upon by States, hence we look towards Jus in Bello, which deals with the conduct of war. In this paper, I will look at the moral dilemma of killing an innocent in war, and whether or not it is morally justifiable to kill a child soldier.

. In such situations, some children end up in orphanages or their relatives take care of them, but in most cases, those children end up without any adult care whatsoever. Statistically speaking, over 18 million children are being raised in catastrophic circumstances caused by war. More than 2 million children have been killed, 6 million have been disabled and 20 million are homeless and more than a million are separated from their families and caregivers. Education and protection from violence, neglect, and abuse – these rights are taken from children during conflict. All these factors are important parts of child’s development (Santa Barbara, J., 2006, Leavitt, L. A. and Fox, N. A., 2014).
