Hobbes rough draft
The world will be in a lot of trouble if ISIS is not stopped by someone. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a villainous force who has been completely dangerous. Also because of the ISIS they have caused the Middle East to be destroyed almost completely, therefore Syria is now and was in a crisis. ISIS has caused havoc in other places outside of the Middle East too. They have caused terror in Europe by detonating bombings in France and other European countries. ISIS needs to be wiped out for good in order to ensure the middle East can be safe again. Barack Obama pulled our troops out of Iraq. Since then, ISIS has absolutely taken over the Middle East, this occurred on the date of December …show more content…

The United States and our allies need to invade the Middle East with our military to take out ISIS. The solution to destroy ISIS aide's Hobbes view on how the world works. Thomas Hobbes believed that all men were relatively bad and that one man must rule. Hobbes said that in a state of nature, “... the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself(Hobbes, .” ISIS took over Syria because the government was overthrown by confederacy and machination. Thomas Hobbes wrote the book , The Leviathan, “... men live without an equal power to keep them all in awe, they are in a fight .” That “common power” was the United States army. Then we pulled out of Iraq because the violence had decreased, but that was only because the United States was still there to maintain order in Iraq. Hobbes had also believed that every man had the natural right “... to use his own power as he will himself for the preservation of his own nature” (Leviathan). He believed that every person had the right to do whatever that man needed to in order to survive. But there were still restrictions on what a man

Muckraking Isis There is a serious problem in the world today involving Isis. If it gets worse, which it probably will the whole world could be in a big dilemma. It’s only in a couple countries right now, but it could easily go worldwide. Isis is a terrorist group kind of like Al Qaeda. They are heartless monsters who are hungry for power and want to control everything.

ISIS was able to destabilize an entire region, control large territories, force neighboring countries to reevaluate immigration and foreign policy, branch into other parts of the globe, force recognition on the international stage, and rival other VEOs such as Al Qaeda; by using simple and hybrid methods of insurgency, Asymmetric warfare, and traditional forms of Islamic law and governance. The group’s activities, which keep the organization functioning, reside within the known safe havens of Raqqa, Syria and Mosul, Iraq. Seizing Raqqa will likely force ISIS to rebuild and reestablish a similar powerbase and eventually lead to dismantling senior leadership in Syria. Raqqa, the primary stronghold for ISIS operations in Syria, rests in the historically,

The Islamic state, or ISIS is a militia movement with conquered territory in western Iraq and east Syria. Seizing multiple territories in the Iraq’s heartland and having amounts of success has drawn in more foreign recruits to them, raising concern in the west. Moreover, this has led the United States to send in the air campaigns to try and roll back the Islamic state advancements. Now, as of November fifteenth, 2015, ISIS has taken upon itself to drop multiple bombs in Paris, France and both France and the United States want to retaliate back.

In the time frame of sixteen years, what started as a small rebellious group in Iraq and Syria has now grown into a large fighting force dedicated to spreading their beliefs with brutal violence posing a concern to the whole nation. ISIS has been around for sixteen years now and with those years have come many innocent deaths. ISIS started as a small group in the Islamic states of Iraq and Syria. After many other groups fought against the Iraq amy, ISIS saw their opportunity to take control. With an Iraq army already beat down by other

Over the last ten years or so ISIS has been terrorizing the Middle East, but even more recently their terror has branched out to the rest of the world. It’s become increasingly more difficult to go a single day without hearing something about ISIS. ISIS is a rapidly growing terrorist group that arose out of Al-Qaeda, which is a militant Islamic organization whose goal is to drive Americans and all American influence out of the Muslim nations. ISIS on the other hand has different objectives. Their main intention is to overthrow the governments of Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan while creating a supreme form of government for all Muslims throughout the world.

The topic of Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), has been in the news for months, even years at this point. The ongoing debate of US involvement in Iraq, and the topic of what to do with ISIS seem never ending with barely any consensus among the US Government or with world leaders. In the articles assigned we see a plethora of opinions on these two hot topics that can be summarized with this; The United States was wrong in getting involved in Iraq militarily and was correct in withdrawing from Iraq and if anything should’ve done it sooner. Furthermore, it is not the withdrawal of troops that led to the rise of ISIS but rather the initial arrival of troops in 2003 that created a power vacuum of sorts that allowed ISIS to rise to power the way it did. In terms of approaching the expunging of ISIS, one must

ISIS seized territory in Iraq and Syria larger than the size of Israel and Jordan combined, formed a government, retrieved proficient armed forces, and even founded offices in about nine different countries. ISIS is a force to be reckoned with. Secretary of State John Kerry told TODAY in an interview, “They represent a threat to every country in the region.” “They are even more extreme than Al Qaeda ever was.” Just concentrating one aspect of its power, we cannot defeat ISIS.

ISIS is a gruesome organization that murders helpless people who don’t agree with their beliefs. Luckily for us, ISIS headquarters are located on the opposite side of the globe.

However, the civil war in Syria was not the only situation ISIS had to their advantage. The Obama administration withdrew from Iraq in December 2011. They did not only take cities in Syria, in Iraq they took over Mosul. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki worsened the situation, allowing ISIS to grow because he allowed the slaughter of peaceful Sunni protesters and did not try to accommodate the Sunni minority. ISIS is a Sunni Muslim group.

Again, with the right push from the U.S, it may be in Syria’s favor to combat ISIS by uniting its people with a shared political community that can provide a confirmed future. By doing this, ISIS will be combated through a unified state, ultimately decreasing chaos. Assad can be pressured into unifying his people or his empire may collapse. Even if Assad faces less benefit besides maintaining his empire,

The only problem is that ISIS doesn’t even control the oil fields they have done assaults on the supply line but that doesn’t mean they control them. I don’t think they realize that would kill a lot innocent people. Some people may then say “oh well they aren’t American lives being lost. What is the difference between an American and everyone else. Sure we are in different parts of the world but that doesn’t mean Americans are any better.

In my opinion, I think that we should go to war with ISIS. ISIS is a group of about 200,000 people who have one religious belief: the apocalypse. So far ISIS has killed far too many innocent people in terrorists attacks. They have attacked Paris, Saudi Arabia, and have even commented that they would attack Washington D.C. ISIS is so extremely cruel that they have started teaching children about guns and ending the world beliefs in schools.

It relates to an ongoing victimization and conflict for more than a decade and going. When conflicts last for more than a decade they are hard to change. Another example Burton (1997) states, “when dealing with problems of conflicts, violence and crime we must understand the three phenomena which are universal in civilizations; the problems of conflicts are human problems” (p. 16). It is true, ISIS forms part of that human problem.

The power being discussed is the right to punish without being punished with the same standards and the right to decide when to make war or peace . In Hobbes’ approach, violence as a tool is centralized on one man as a mechanism to bring peace by punishing; however, violence cannot be used against the sovereign himself or to the people who are outside of this contract
