This is because Creon did not care about morals he wanted to add insult to injury by not burying Polyneices. In our society today we have a fairly good justice system. A group of intelligent people vote on the laws that need to be held up instead of one dictator making the laws that he chooses. Also, if there is ever a question of justice the people who made the laws do not make the punishment or decide whether
This source is not reliable because it seems that Lord Lansdowne is using his opinion and his status/authority to try and get the public to agree with him wanting the war to end which suggests it is not a genuine concern of Lord Lansdowne which may affect the usefulness of this source. Source 2 also agrees to a far extent because it is a letter from Vera Brittan to her brother saying that she wanted the war to continue even though she was against war and condemned it. This source is very reliable because the letter is from Vera Brittan whose fiancé died of wounds from the war which means the British public could relate to her emotionally. In addition Source 3 also agrees to an extent because it was a reply to a letter from a common soldier which entailed the support from women to the soldiers in the war. This source may not be reliable because it is only one person’s opinion.
To make himself feel better he embodies a fatalistic view which is that ‘there is no pattern to who lives or dies in war’. His reliance on fate answers the tough questions and demons that he has inside him. ‘I know it is all fate. Once you understand this, it makes life here much easier, for you are freed of the idea that you can prevent something from happening’. Talzani’s reliance on fate relates to the theme of hopelessness, where things in war are out of our control and thus we cannot prevent something from happening.
He says that it is generally better to be frugal because lavish spending will lead to jealousy. It will also lead to higher taxes, and will make the prince unpopular. Machiavelli believes that it is important for the prince to be cruel. It is important for him to punish appropriately in order to have the respect from his citizens and his army. On the issue of admiration Machiavelli states that a prince ideally should be loved and feared, but it is more important that he be feared.
His interest and involvement in Dr. Jekyll’s affair contradict with the introduction of his personality in the very beginning of the book, which shows his indifference toward immorality and lack of social skill. s Mr. Utterson likes this letter because it says that his friend Dr. Jekyll is not blackmailed and the evil person Mr. Hyde will not distract Dr. Jekyll again. Also Mr. Utterson feels guilty and blames himself for his past suspicions, for Mr. Hyde does not intend to blackmail Dr. Jekyll at all. By contrast, Mr. Hyde fully realizes his unworthiness of inheriting Dr. Jekyll’s properties. However, Mr. Utterson is upset with the fact that the letter was from Dr. Jekyll as well after he lets his clerk compare the letter with Jekyll’s own
He states: “If a story seems moral, do not believe it” (O’Brien 65). This is where another difficulty lies. Every patriotic citizen looking to be supportive of the war is naïve; they look for a moral to what they are doing. Some will defend with this: “We are fighting to keep our country free.” Or “It’s for the betterment of the nation.” They, within their small perspectives, found moral to the stories. The true war story has no moral; ask one’s self, “Is war truly moral?
Yes the draft is a scary word to hear, but it is a way of protecting our country and loved ones. Nobody wants to go to war, but the depending of service cannot only fall on volunteers. The draft may not be fair but what can we do. When someone gets drafted they should see it as a blessing because they are going to be part of a war and will be honored with respect. Most people will not agree to go and rather be stuck in prison or pay a huge fee.
He understands that this marriage is based upon an impulsive decision made by the couple since he knows how Romeo reacts to love. Earlier, Friar Lawrence gives caution to the unity because even though he thinks this marriage can be in the best interest for everyone, he understands the consequences of marrying the pair. However he
These are two ideas that turned to war and could have been solved without force. These wars are unnecessary and need to be prevented and or stopped to make the world a better place and it would also make peace again. Peace is the thing we need to shoot for but many need to understand the reason why. Then again these wars are unwinnable because a conclusion will not be reached no matter how hard we try. The only way we can stop it is by being smart about our future decisions and hope to god that whatever decisions get made don’t ruin our country’s fate
The importance of not lying in society. There are many reasons why a soldier should not lie in the army. First I will go over the moral implications of lying.
