Individuals should absolutely be held personally
responsible for their actions during wartime.
Soldiers and other members of the armed services
are in the armed services to protect and serve the
people of their country; the brave people in the
armed services are there to ensure the safety of
their citizens. These men and women are not,

over Germany during World War II, heinous and
brutal crimes were commi...

Law Abiding Citizens Constitution Was Written

The constitutions of most of our States assert
that all power is inherent in the people; it is
their right and duty to be at all times armed.
Thomas Jefferson, 1824 Should guns be banned in
America? Should guns be banned? This is one of the
widest asked questions. There are those who
believe that guns should be banned, as guns are
the number one killer. All around the world, small
arms stocks were destroyed in the hope to lower
the amount of guns in the world. South Africa's

The Man Who 1000 Chains Morality Vs Legality
678 words
When looking at as issue as right or wrong, it is
imperative that the issue be categorized into
either a matter of legality or morality. While
some may be both, the simple fact that an action
may be immoral does not qualify it as necessarily
illegal. The film A Man That Broke A Thousand
Chains, based on the true story of Robert Elliott
Burns, showcases many examples of morality and
legality. If an action is immoral, that means it
defies ones moral code and is commonly perceived
as wrong based on...

Law Enforcement Officer Washington D C
952 words
Since disarming the citizens of this country is
the objective of the federal government, and since
the federal government proclaims this to be a
democratic country based upon equality, then any
gun control measures adopted by the government
should be democratically applied. If law abiding
citizens are to have their guns taken from them
then let the law abiding police agencies of the
state be disarmed also. (Those in law enforcement
who are crooked can keep their guns just as the
drug pushers and...

Obedience To Authority In The Military
1,499 words
Obedience to Authority in the Military I would
like to start by saying that during the US-led
operation in Iraq the British and Australian
troops were told to use their own judgment in the
decision making process of whether or not to shoot
in the civilians. They were told that they would
not be punished for disobeying the American
leaders. Here we see the example of how the
personal conscience is used against the obedience
to authority, yet generally the obedience to the
military authority is un...

It Hand Guns I. Introduction It is estimated that
in 1994, 39, 720 individuals died from firearm

is very alarming, especially when one considers
this number not as a statistic, but 39, 720 human
beings. The issue that will be addressed is one
that brings with it great controversy. Does our
right to own guns infringe upon the rights of

Women in military positions is an issue that has
been very controversial for many years. Today, the
typical occupational field of female service
members is mainly administrative or medical but
filmmakers are attempting to show otherwise. In
the 1997 hit movie G. I. Jane, directed by Ridley
Scott, one female whose determination reaches
heights beyond anyone s expectations smashes this
image of females in the military. The portrayal of
women in the movie G. I. Jane not only suggests
that women can...
