In Why Nations Go to War, Dr.John G Stoessinger talks about the role of individuals in starting wars. He is of the view that factors like economics, nationalism, alliance networks and even fate are often put forward as the primary reasons for the outbreak of a war, but the human element, the personalities, the hopes and fears and the particular worldview of the individual leaders of the country are not given nearly as much importance. The writer points out that wars are after all, started by people and to a large extent, the book deals with the lead up to the moment when people finally decide to go to war. The author holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and has taught at Harvard, M.I.T, Columbia and Princeton. He won the Bancroft Prize for his book, The Might of Nations and he has served as acting director for the political affairs division at the United Nations.

The more the movie went into depth, the more stronger the similarities and differences presented themselves. As the stories of these heroes unraveled, comparing and contrasting the psyche, the brutality ,the moral and ethical conflicts in great war movies such as the “Lone Survivor”(Berg.2014), and “Apocalypse Now”(Coppola.1979), was not as hard as imagined.

The people of the Andamans were most certainly aware of warfare and when needed, they would go about it. Mead also explains that trial by jury wasn't just set into stone, it was gradually changed by the people of the time by inventing the new method; and so, the new method replaced the old method. Mead demonstrates this to show that in order for there to be a change, you must recognize the pros and cons of the existing warfare, so then you are able to formulate a new invention. After reading Mead's essay, I do not agree with her "bad invention" view of warfare. I have come to the conclusion that warfare is a sociological inevitability.

Mary Walsh 8/27/13 APUSH The Name Of War What makes a war memorable? Perhaps the tactics used to win, the weapons used to fight, or the words spoken to ignite it.
