Opinion on WAR

War is always devastating and results in the tragic loss of countless innocent lives. In a perfect world war would not be necessary because all leaders would be rational and could peacefully work things out. However, the sad truth is that there is great deal of evil in human nature. When this evil shows itself in the likes of manic, like Adolf Hitler, for example, then other countries often have no choice but to fight back. Their only other option would be submission and/ or destruction. 

Task 4: Blog 1 for ISU

The main social issue in the novel Brave New World is children are conditioned from the movement artificial conception to be a certain level of intelligence. This social issue is connected with the passage Genius Without The Genetics by John Mighton because I think they born into specific level of society and remain their for their whole lives. There is never any expectations that they rise above their stations. Unfortunately this prejudgment of children can also hold true in our current education system. If children at young age are labeled as low functioning or limited in some way, often there is little expectation that they will improve. When the author says, "a product of the way the children are taught."  I think that is absolutely true because in the novel Brave New World they eliminated families which means Mother, Father, Sister and Brother so they doesn't know anything about love and they are an artistic child. In Brave New World they doesn't teach kids what is the true meaning of love and how we should treat people.

Nearby was a Sniper from our forces. This man then shot and wounded the Republican Sniper. In the exchange of gun fire that followed, the Republican Sniper killed our Sniper. When checking for his enemy's identity. He discovered that the fallen Sniper was , in fact, his own brother. His sole comment has been a repeated lament: "I didn't even know my brother was in the war."

In response to these events Colonel Michael Williams has doubled the presence of armed forces on the streets of Dublin. "We must do all we can to prevent further tragedies," he explained.
