Thus leaving American’s to become conspirious about the truths of war and ethics in the Federal Government. In my opinion the arguments made against the government’s way they misled the public were true and interesting. The government having not told Tillman’s family the truth up front I believe was a cowardly thing to do. The way the Bush administration portrayed him out to be a hero, in which I believe he was, he shouldn’t have been made out to be more heroic than any one of his fellow soldiers. Just because Tillman was a NFL football player shouldn’t have given him any more starlight than other soldier who also gave up their lives to fight for this country.
English Revision Task How have the texts studied in this elective challenged your ways of thinking about "People and Politics"? People and politics are able to represent their own ideas and perspectives by utilising different techniques to bring forward a stronger influence and convey meaning. The multiple methods and procedures in which to form representation has challenged my ways of thinking about 'People and Politics'. W.H. Auden utilises satire to communicate the negative perspective of dictators in "Epitaph of a Tyrant" (1939).
The choice is yours. If you believe that the media is right so be it, but if you think they are wrong look into it. But if you think they are right, you can tell all the war veterans and current soldiers that what they did as a living is wrong and is a disgrace. See what they have to say to you. They put their life on the line to protect the sorry Americans who are to caught up in what they drive and how they look to look at the big picture.
We are to keep the peace among the nations of the earth because that is our belief as a people, but we must know our enemy, we must know their intentions and what they wish to carry out. Terrorists do not adhere to the custom of respect of an individual. They act as animals, slaughtering without remorse. They do not deserve the rights of our nation or of man. The argument for the Justification of torture on terrorists is completely justifiable and the only course of action in ascertaining vital information for the nation’s defense.
* Post-colonialism can be an important part of literature it provides a way to apply differences between characters to real world foreign and political problems. When analyzing a text, how will I know when I should use this lens? * The kind of things you will want to watch out for are: * Any instances of victimization: * Who is the Victim?

The United States wanted to save money and millions of lives, both Japanese and American. Japan had no regard for the lives of their citizens and was planning to turn their whole island into a fortress. Indeed, America had other alternatives to dropping the atom bombs, yet it wasn’t guaranteed that the Japanese would surrender. American generals and soldiers were facing a relentless enemy who would rather commit suicide than be captured. Even when the odds were against them, the Japanese were to prideful to submit.
He pointed out that the war was a waste, and they were only there for their country, not for the unnecessary killing and also that fighting and killing is mentally tolling. He captures all of this when he writes one of last lines, “War is brutish, inglorious, and a terrible waste. Combat leaves and indelible mark on those who are focused to endure it. The only redeeming factors were my comrades’ incredible bravery and their devotion to each other. Marine Corps training taught us to kill efficiently and to try to survive.
In her publication titled “Gender Trouble”, Judith Butler presents her view that gender is a performative role in society, meaning that in order for gender identity to be genuinely expressed and understood, it must be conveyed openly in social spaces. Throughout her book she provides numerous examples of these “social spaces” that would be a necessary ground for women in order to better establish an identity in society. These include political representation, cultural movements, and the economic climate. These social spaces are presented in great depth and explain how they limit a person by identifying with a specific gender. In this paper, I will argue for Butler’s view on how certain gender performance is restricted in these numerous fields, and how Ms. Butler would object to these various situations.
All this leads me to believe that not only were you not prepared for these people, but you also want to show your authority and make these Japanese-American people realize the life conditions they were now stuck with, to prove to them how powerless they truly are. Secondly, you have forced these people to sign loyalty acts when you are making them so weak and powerless, and treating them inhumane. You treat them as though they do not belong in this country, yet you are forcing them to agree to this loyalty document. Like I stated previously they are loyal as they have proven in war. There are few that may be questionable, but is it necessary to punish an entire race, every man, woman, and child, when none of them have done anything wrong?
As a Japanese American he was always being discriminated, and denied privileges that Americans got. He took the hard route and wanted to prove that he was a true American citizen. He was willing to give up so much for America, knowing the message he would be portraying while being in the army. He is respected for standing up for his country and putting his life on the line to show his true
