Theme: vulnerable Reference: “He scanned the sky once more to make sure a plane wouldn’t pounce on them as they submerged.” (282) I thought: Max was very cautious because who knows to expect the worse. Max is very much like Ares, a protector. Therefore, Max took extra caution for himself, as well as his crew. Also, Max knew you double check because while in that territory he his vulnerable. Max and his crew are vulnerable because of how powerful the opponents are and the damage they could cause, especially from the air.
Power is a privilege and should only be given to those who can handle it. The act of counterfeit can often hinder success. King Henry himself rose to the thrown with help from the Percy’s as he “stole all the courtesy from heaven” and broke Richard’s “divine right” to being King. Although he is successful in gaining power, because of its illegitimacy, Henry struggles to use his this effectively. As he suggests to Hal, he wants to be “like a comet” to be seen on a rare basis to be “wondered at” by his subjects.
The squadron is equipped with top notch pilots who are provided sub standard, old ready for scrap pieces of aircrafts in what you can perceive as being a project that is destine for designed failure. The movie is fictional based on facts but not a documentary. The story begins in Italy, 1944. WWII is well under way, due to lack of dedication to the mission, non colored fighter pilots providing escort service for US bombers were failing, losing bombers they were supposed to be providing protection for, but instead would run off during the escort to chase opposing fighter jet to engage in air to air combat. This behavior was taking a great toll not only on the US resources but also the unnecessary loss of life was also something to be
In fact, when questioned about the names of his flight squadron members, and he gave the Vietnamese names of the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers (423). The torturers can be easily fooled because they cannot reliably verify the accuracy of the information they get from a torture victim. Therefore, the problem of unreliable intelligence deals a big blow against torture. Many nations, including the United States, made torturing illegal, but if America tortures a soldier from other nations, they can do the same back to America (424). If American troops held another nation’s soldier captive, the enemy may feel they have the right to do the same.
In contrast, however, Sartwell’s article focuses primarily upon the civilian aspect of obedience, whereas Szegedy-Maszak focuses more upon the military aspect. Obedience to authority is commonplace in society. The question has arisen over time with horrible evens such as the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the torturous methods at the Abu Ghraib Prison. This question is would someone compromise his personal beliefs or morals to obey an authority figure even if obeying would bring about physical harm to another person. Szegedy-Maszak makes the statement that the Abu Ghraib Prison was “an island where conventional morality no longer applied” (Szegedy-Maszak 212).
Darby Baker Mr. Verner DC U.S. History 21 March 2014 With the Old Breed Book Review Award winning author, Eugene B. Sledge, shares the experiences he was put through at Peleliu and Okinawa in his novel With the Old Breed. This novel is his personal account of hardships he faced when fighting in World War II. Specifically, the pacific frontier of the war and the brutal Japanese enemies they fought against. This novel gives a front line point of view when recounting his encounters in the war. The scenarios are very descriptive as he is blunt, and goes into graphic detail.
This is significant as it shows that the Inspector will change the mood completely and it indicates secrets coming to light. The audience is enticed to trust the Inspector over Mr. Birling because Mr. Birling says a lot of things which we know not to be true – dramatic irony. For example, he says that the Titanic is, “unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable.” The audience knows that the Titanic, of course, crashes during its voyage but Mr. Birling doesn’t know this and the repetition of the word “unsinkable” suggests his misplaced certainty. In addition, the audience at this point believes the Inspector to be a real inspector, so they automatically think he is a trustworthy person. Something else that makes the audience more wary of Mr. Birling is when he says, “Now, Inspector, perhaps you and I had better go and talk this over quietly in a corner” which reinforces our opinion that he places money over morality.
The downside to this would be that possibly all communications will be monitored and fringes on invasion of privacy. Also used as a deterrent, higher security at airport checkpoints can hinder terrorist plans of calculated plans of attack using our nation’s airplanes. The problem here is now we have longer bag check and security checkpoint lines which causes people to become agitated and irritated that “the lines never
In addition, nature effects, such as the weather, the air friction, or the ocean attraction, could cause a harmful impact on me by trying to fly this kind of long distance. Also, flying is not favorable, when I plan to steal. Even though I have the ability the fly away, but people still can isolated and identify me as the thief. On the contrary, invisibility is the better superpower choice. It is full of personal gain.
Unfortunately, the propositions made by John Lennon in these lines are unattainable. This is because world peace is a pipe dream. World peace is a pipe dream because it is in our nature to quarrel, when problems unavoidably arise, it is not always possible to solve them peacefully, there will always be powerful people who want war, and there are several mental disorders that will make a person bound to be involved in conflict. One reason why world peace is a pipe dream is because humans are naturally inclined to be involved in conflict and it is sometimes necessary for survival. Human conflict has been in existence since our first known ancestors were alive.
