That would be perfect for the company but will still put people in society at risk, which is ethically wrong. The estimated cost for the A-1 Trailers recalling the trailers and fixing them will cost about $18,000,000. After reviewing the possible outcomes, the only why to achieve the greatest net benefit within society is for A-1 Trailers to perform a recall on the trailers. If A-1 Trailers fell it is in the company’s best interest to proceed with the 18,000,000-dollar recall and simply settle the claims after fighting them (if any), A-1 have every right to this decision. A-1 is in no way obligated to make any decision based on the so-called "greater good".
John Doe Mrs.Blue English IV Honors 10 September 2012 Heroism Everyone has a different opinion of a hero, but every hero has common characteristics. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a hero is “a person that is very courageous; he must also be admired by others and seen as a noble figure.” In the old Anglo-Saxon society an unknown author showcases an ancient warrior hero in the epic poem, Beowulf. He battles monsters and dragons and displays traits that the Anglo-Saxons admire as heroic: bravery in battle, super-human strength, and self-sacrifice in an attempt to attain fame and immortality. On the other hand, in Vietnam War veteran Karl Marlantes’ article, “The Truth About Being a Hero,” published in the Wall Street Journal, Marlantes tells of the bravery of an “unsung hero,” a soldier who displays humility and saves others for the common good of his country. A true hero is strong,
This brilliant move that was nominated for eleven academy awards and won five of them, is the perfect movie for an American, a true war connoisseur, or a This movie especially fits into the realism view. It shows the gore, blood, and guts of war, the intensity of getting shot, the intensity of friends dying, and the intensity of overall war. The emotions from each character also illustrate a true “war story”. For example, when the two soldiers started fighting and anger arises, or when a true friend of a soldier dies and tears emerge. Everything about this movie is seen as real.
Christopher Moran Mr. Buonaspina PC World History 22nd February 2011 Military Industrial Complex History has can teach us that conflict has been part of human nature for as long as anyone can remember. Quarrels have been settled by a barbaric manner that has grown more and more advanced overtime. This has been assisted with new innovations in weapons and war strategies. Take the Romans for a perfect example. They were the mightiest nation Europe has every known during 500 BC.
How poetry of World War 1 reveals the varying attitudes to war that existed at the time from the two war poems Margaret Peterson’s “A Mothers Dedication” and Siegfried Sassoon’s “Counter Attack. A Mothers’ Dedication displays the patriotism during the time whereas Counter Attack depicts the reality of war and the horrors faced by the soldiers such as Sassoon in the war. These two poems display the binary attitudes that people had to war at the time. “A Mother’s Dedication”, by Margaret Peterson reflects the strongly nationalistic, propaganda driven views that mobilized Britain in response to the war. The ballad in itself has a unique attitude that one is destined to fight in the war, revealed in the metaphor of birth, in “your birth has brought you” and the militaristic “I fought to give you birth.” A military attitude is furthered through the idea of determination and patriotism; in words such as “uphold” “lead” “shield” and “fight” which highlight the attitudes of heroism and “honour” that existed within British propaganda.
Through out time our nation has overcome great hardship wars in-justice, discrimination and hate have maimed our society for the worst. However as a single nation we have bravely fought for justice and freedom with the inspiration of several works leaders. In the essays “Victory Speech” by James Wood and “A Sprit Reborn” by William Safire, many vital points and facts regarding our nation were brought up. The articles are similar in ways such as events that are spoken about. They show that no matter how hard a nation is to destroy it is just as hard to get back up and fight for their nation back.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” As shown, adversity can be beat. If it had not had been for Jane’s isolation from family and lack of support, she would not have had the courage and drive to make something of herself as a leader and role model. If it had not been for the devastating attacking on Bethany Hamilton, she would not be where she is today as a courageous surfer and charitable contributor. Walt Disney and his learning disability exemplify accomplishing anything one puts his or her mind to. Adversity does not only put one in a state of wretchedness and misfortune, it also can change the individual’s life by bringing out talents in which would have not been previously developed.
The battle plans of the Germans depended on quickly defeating France and then either defeating Russia, or drawing them into a stalemate. To this end, Wilhelm’s navy was authorized to use unrestricted submarine warfare and the army was authorized to attack civilians as they saw fit, when they met resistance by the French armies. Siege warfare, such as the battle of Verdun, is a clear example of when civilian casualties from artillery fire were, not only unimportant to the invaders, but encouraged to be high. The Austro-Hungarian armies were encouraged to do the same things and acted similarly to the Germans in the Balkans, as did the Ottomans. The second example is the damage
Purpose of Accountability Our world is changing. But that is nothing new. For thousands of years wars have been fought across the earth and we as a people have had to adapt to overcome the hardships that follow war. The war of yesterday is not the same war we are fighting today. And (50) the war of tomorrow will be much different than what we are used to today.
It has been said a military learns more from its defeats than its victories so it was inevitable that the next generation of American military strategists would raid the bookshelf of Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh likely first encountered the teachings of Sun Tzu through Mao Zedong. Mao himself was an ardent student of The Art of War, having applied its teachings in his struggle against the Japanese occupation and in his long campaign to defeat the Chinese Nationalists. Mao demonstrated that a weaker force could successfully outwit and outlast a vastly more powerful foe through the use of tactics outlined by Sun Tzu. Mao practiced the ways of the mobile army, a light agile force that is able to select its engagements and catch the enemy off guard.
