Much of the American population already felt the need to go to war, but this attack gave citizens the drive to enter the draft and see themselves off to basic training. At basic training new soldiers were primed to a peak physical condition and instructed in learning skills that would see them well fit to fight the war in Europe. Ambrose notes that “Training was critical to getting the men into physical condition, to
Many of his decisions led to uproar, but one in the end set the ground for the United States as we know it today. James McPherson tries to get many points across in “As Commander-in-Chief I Have a Right to Take Any Measure Which May Best Subdue the Enemy.” It seems at times that he will go as far as calling Lincoln a man who is unconstitutional and even goes against his own morals. As his article progresses you see more of the main point that McPherson is trying to make. Early in his document, McPherson says when referring to Lincoln declaring war, “The
The Things They Carried Plot: 1. Exposition- The exposition is in the beginning of the story. It is when Tim O’Brien explains who the soldiers are, and what they carry. He explains what most soldiers carry physically, like guns, water, grenades, and other war necessities. He also explains the emotional things the soldiers carry.
In past times of war, when the draft was instated, the draft was always something a man would have to worry about—it could change his life forever. However, with the current war in Iraq, a man and his family do not have to worry about him being drafted; it is his choice to serve the country in this manner. Because of this, it is not truly put into perspective how much a person’s life would change if a draft military was to be put into use. In today’s time of war, there has been a question of whether the government will reinstate a general conscription military, as opposed to the volunteer professional army that is currently being utilized and has been since the end of the Vietnam War. Some may argue that the draft would help the current situation, and that it would equalize service.
When people think of the Civil War, they think about the causes of the war. They think about the battles, the leaders from each side, the outcomes of each event, and the new agreements that had been settled on after the war. However, many people don’t realize and take into consideration the significant amount of new advancements that were made in this period of time. Inventors and military men developed new types of weapons, such as the repeating rifle and the submarine, which forever changed the way that wars were fought. These technological innovations had a major impact on the way people fought the Civil War.
These people believe that a young person in America who is encouraged to sign up for the military and fight for his country deserves the right to choose whether or not they will drink alcohol. Also, a person at 18 in America is encouraged to take on the role of deciding who will be the leaders of his country, but he does not have the freedom to drink alcohol. Many people see this as a contradiction in politics and in life. These supporters of lowering the drinking age believe that the young alcohol drinkers of America would become more responsible with their drinking habits simply because it would become something that is not looked at as a bad thing and is demonstrated by adults how to drink responsibly. An article printed in the Los Angeles times, “At 18, is it time for a drink?” presents the fact that the majority of serious alcohol-related accidents on college campuses happen when young people are hiding their drinking in their rooms (Gordon).
In war, you must always think before you do something that you will regret later on in life. By revealing each story’s conflicts and characters motivations authors Hwang Sunwon form the “Cranes” and Liam O’ Flahery from the “Sniper” both reveal theme that you should think before you act. Both “Crane” and “Sniper” have situations going on, For example in the “Cranes”, Songsam had to reunite with his child playmate friend or if he is going to complete his job assignment. In the “Sniper”, the Sniper had to know whether he going to kill the enemy sniper or if he is just going to watch what the armored car is doing. These stories have similar motivations because the stories take place during a war, and they either want to do their assignments or unites with others if they have to.
Although, many people think that it is necessary for the school teachers to carry guns on campus for the reason that they can protect children with guns. Personally, I do not think school teacher should be trained and required to carry guns on campus. Training teachers and requiring them to carry guns is a way that obey the spirit of school, it also has influence on children, teachers themselves and schools. (http://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/arming_teachers.html) School teachers should not be trained and carry guns on campus because it is disobey the traditional spirit of school. When people think of school, a safe environment for students to learn comes to mind.
NRA has multiple courses available to educate, train, and guide citizens to become comfortable with their firearm.

More gunfire will only escalate violence, which only leads to more violence. The controversy is still going on nationwide as to whether or not students should be allowed to carry guns on campus. No mom wants her son or daughter to be shot, much less while he or she is at school. Utah is the only state that allows carrying guns on nine public universities. Now more states are trying to push and pass the bill in Congress.
