Source analysis Freedom of French citizens can only be achieved when occasionally the death of a patriot or a tyrant has been accomplished, without this our country's freedom will not prosper. “The Tree of Liberty” can be defined as the rights and freedoms a citizen is given. The source in simple terms is basically saying without the blood shed of a few citizens from time to time a country can not have the rights and freedoms occur naturally. This source best fits into civic nationalism because it talks about the rights and responsibilities not being upheld without a military service, which covers all the criteria of civic nationalism. Thomas Jefferson has such an extremist view supporting civic nationalism, whereas someone like King Louis XVI would have had a completely opposite point of view that's against civic nationalism. I agree with the source because if people are not willing to give up their lives then the military would collapse and so would the country's safety. Therefore the loyalty of citizens …show more content…

Government services are provided in order to prevent chaos from occurring within the nation. Every so often when an attack or war breaks out, few from the nation's military will fall but not without reason, their death is what provides the hundreds of thousands of people freedom and more rights. Without the government providing education and protection services the country's national security would be at stake and the freedom would be limited. When we come across these types of interactions it's best to have allies with other nations from the help of our government in order to help protect French citizens who are innocent, and gain them more rights and freedoms. Since the main idea of the source is talking about bloodshed of a government provided service, it's there for a reason to help protect everybody but they can't do it without the help from French

Government response was one of the reasons why the Reign of Terror was unjust because they treated their own citizens very poorly. On the map, it shows that the Reign of Terror was unjust because the government was forcing people to join the military against their will. “The Vendee region was the hub of the counterrevolution. People here fiercely fought against military draft called the levee en masse and against laws that tried to abolish Christianity in France” (Doc C). The government proved to be very strict and forced people into the military draft called the levee en masse.

I agree with so much of what you said in your post! I especially agree with the point you made about northern nativism not really developing until the south gave it a reason to. That 's so true and I honestly hadn 't even thought about like that. I also think that there were a lot of questions over American national identity and it was voiced most hysterically when the rise of sectional prejudices cast doubt on the unity of native America itself.

Shared understanding, common ideology, and social norms are only a few aspects of culture. France’s history includes key events that define who the people are and how they function as a nation. Leaders such as Napoleon Bonaparte provided a baseline on how modern politics function today. Technological achievements, alongside necessity, allowed the country’s military to develop one of the first air defense artillery pieces in the world. The infrastructure of the country has adapted to support a large population with a global reach.

People under royal rule were conditioned to believe that the king and the nobility were chosen to become what they are. Thinking in rebellion probably was dangerous in even mentioning it, so, it was either difficult to find people that are brave enough to endure the consequences and all inspiring to the one who do want to stand up. Sacrifices had to be made in order to sustain your place in what is believed to be right. The rubble of the France population was included in this, but probably worried about the outcome because this predestined ideology has been implemented, instead, a divination occurred that they have to choose their own path no matter the risk that they are placed. So, this sacrifice in what was conditioned in their daily lives are morphing into obscurity because no one knows the

They believe that this would save lives of the troops. Neither view is either right or wrong-- both have their merits-- but both have to do with the thought of freedom versus safety, and how much people are willing to get up to achieve

For the question which characteristics are most important to countries during times of conflict, it would probably have to be a charismatic leader and patriotism. A charismatic leader is going to end up having strong ultra nationalistic views and ideas, eventually putting those ideas and views into action. If there end up being conflict in the country that leader is going to do what they can to help their country even if what happens ends up being ultra nationalistic because it most likely will. Leaders like that usually keep ultra nationalism going. Patriotism is also a method that maintains ultra nationalist views.

Commitment, dedication, and motivation are the three most important values when joining the military. Background checks and months of training are required to ensure that the best is selected to stand strong as one for the best interest of all. Regardless of the requisites, hundreds of individuals devote their time to become part of the US military, unfortunately it is not meant for everyone. Even though the system tries to ensure that only the strong get chosen, it has been proven to be flawed. For example, ex-military personal, like Robert (Bowe) Bergdahl, have left base camps or leaked information to express their feelings towards the military.

The aim of this essay is to identify the principal reasons which lead Republican France to go through the revolutionary government and the Terror. The essay will focus on the political decisions which decreed the institution of a revolutionary government. Although a manifestation of the Convention nationale, this government was in fact ruthlessly ruled by the Committee of Public Safety (CPS). The relationship between these two political bodies allows to examine the causes of a dramatic shift from the revolutionary idea of liberty, equality, and fraternity to the de facto dictatorship of the CPS.

The role of private military companies (PMCs) and mercenaries is a growing concern in the field of international law. There have been many debates as to whether PMCs should be legalized or not. One of such, Professor Cecile Fabre in her essay “In Defence of Mercenarism” argues that Mercenarism is permissible under certain conditions as per the stipulations of the just war tradition. She also seizes the opportunity to rebut the five moral objections to Mercenarism. She concludes that PMCs and their employees or mercenaries should be treated as uniformed soldiers and public military organizations.

Our country has been at war for over 13 years now, and in my opinion, it is not really slowing down as far as the terrorist threat is concerned. The terrorists are getting bolder, deadlier, and adapting to our tactics. For these factors, I think moral disengagement will rear its head among our ranks. The rules of engagement and the Geneva Convention are not protecting our troops from the enemy and causes Soldiers to go against what they no to be right, and go for what is best for them to survive and come home. The example in the reading was about LTC West.
