unparalleled fashion, who could forget the time she wore a dress made entirely of meat or a fire-shooting bra? (Rogers, Hutchings) If there is one characteristic Lady Gaga lacks, it is mundane. It was in 2008 that Gaga released her debut single “Just Dance” which was nominated for a Grammy Award and

Britney’s 7th album Femme Fatale which explored more elements in the dubstep and electropop waters, though commercially it fared better than Blackout, it failed to receive the same critical acclaim. The former album is just one of those rarities in pop music where each track was just on point. The erratic theme of the album acted as the perfect soundtrack to Britney’s life in 2007 and was the album that most reflected her at the time. It also showed Spears’ extraordinary sense in music when she got
PROPORTIONALITY Proportionality is a principle that addresses how much force is necessary to achieve a military objective. It requires combatants to take deliberate care to minimize harm to innocent civilians during an armed attack. The principle of proportionality pro¬hibits attacks on military targets where the expect¬ed harm to civilians would be excessive compared to the military advantage expected to be gained from the attack (Grove 2013). Second, a state resorting to the use of force must prove
as countries just start war by sending drones to bomb other countries, without legitimate authority and a just case. Like for example the terrorist group ISIS who kill even the innocent and result to a lot of civilian casualties which has not been proportional. Most of their intentions are wrong and not appropriate, as some are self, economic or political driven and not for the benefit of the common just cause. Thus technology has both advantages and disadvantages, but humans are just seen developing
The United State Army has primary responsibilities to protect the nation’s citizenry and preserve the sovereignty of the nation. The use of force has predated civilized man and has been used to shape the foundations of society itself. The “profession of arms” has facilitated the rise of the United States as the leading democratic nation in world. The pillars of the Army profession are built on the Warrior Ethos, character, leadership, tactical and technical, conceptual modeling and facilitation of
result of each war is different, there are ways to gauge the effectiveness and permissibility of the actions of governments and armed forces during war. This is the premise of Just War Theory. Just War is philosophy of rating a war as ethically just or not, which has three basic requirements along with a scale for comparison. A just war can can only begin to be considered soif the war itself was a last resort, waged by an actual authority, and was against a tangible wrongdoing.

because the article mentioned that many theologians and political philosopher agree that war is necessary and its justifiable. It explained a lot in the article about the three criteria for a just war. So the first one is right authority which is a sovereign government rather than indiviuals. The second one is just case which means to get revenge and to get back what was unjustly seized. Finally the third one is right intention which when you get a good advise or the avoiodence of evil. Based on the
The doctrine of just war is one of the oldest debated ideas of morality in history. The tradition is, at its core, a set of guidelines governing the ethics of war, and can be thought of as a moral compass that entities ought to adhere to while considering the act of war and during the course of war. The concept of just war lies between two diametrically opposite notions regarding validity of war - realism, which postulates that there is no place for morality in war and international affairs, and
In all of Paul’s writings an array of words are expressed to describe the workings of Christ. In many of these cases thorough exegesis is necessary to understand the true content and application for daily life. One of the heaviest that has caused a large amount of debate throughout history, and one that is imbedded in the book of Galatians, is justification. Nonetheless, the means that individuals receive this form of justice is through faith, and faith alone. This faith is the factor of response
The Gulf Wars, Just War Theory and Utilitarianism The use of military force against another country has divided contemporary international law. Since international law is state-focused, only self-defense can justify the use of military force by one country against another. However, humanitarian crises and the lack of a military counterweight to the power of the United States has placed pressure on the international legal regime to determine when the use of force is legitimate. Just war theory offers
Before the question of whether just war theory or pacifism is the more “realistic” approach to international war theory based on biblical reality of human nature, the role of the Church in relation to Government, and the responsibility of individual Christians can be determined, several definitions and avenues must be defined and explored. First, just war theory and pacifism must be defined. When referring to just war theory, Heineman states, “a war was just if it was properly declared by established
Just War Theory is a concept that has been around for ages dating back to the Greeks and Romans. Just War Theory, as a doctrine, has deep roots in the Catholic tradition as it comes out of Catholic moral theology from the Middle Ages (Walzer, 2008). The framework for the theory revolves around two concepts, Jus ad Bellum, the right to go to war, and jus in bello, proper conduct while engaged in war. Six conditions must be satisfied for a war to be considered just or the right to go to war. First
Why is the Just War tradition relevant to today’s society? Just War theory is a philosophy that aims to demonstrate that wars are not completely unregulated and savage violence but warring parties are still subject to some limitations. Moreover, the tradition usually aims to reconcile three main things which are: taking another human’s life is morally wrong, states have a duty to defend their citizens/defend justice and protecting innocent human life and defending important moral values sometimes
The current statistics of human losses in genocides and civil wars worldwide raises a critical political question of whether militarily intervention is justifiable. Leaders around the world often give political or human rights justifications to qualify military interventions. In fact, political reasons include national defense, political expansion, and the balance of the international political system (Sullivan & Koch, 2009). The most compelling reason is linked to the moral obligation of a humanitarian
reader should know that the members of that town won't really be going back to living in caves and that they would be "eating stewed chickweed and acorns"( Jackson 700). By reading what Old Man Warner was saying, the reader should assume that he is just resisting change in his town that would be for the better. While Old Man Warner was talking to Mr. Adams about getting rid of the lottery he mentioned that whoever wants to give it up that they are a "Pack of crazy fools" and that "There's always
Conformity and group mentality are major aspects of social influence that have governed some of the most notorious events and experiments in history. The Holocaust is a shocking example of group mentality, or groupthink, which states that all members of the group must support the group’s decisions strongly, and all evidence leading to the contrary must be ignored. Social norms are an example of conformity on a smaller scale, such as tipping your waiter or waitress, saying please and thank you, and
The ones that make you warm inside, it makes you want to be nice to that grumpy old mrs. perkins that lives across the street with her ten cats. My mother was that kind of person but ever since my mom and dad got divorced everything has changed. Not just at home though, my life will never be the same and i don’t know if ‘eventually it will be great’. The first sound i hear in the morning is that annoying “errrrrriiiiinnggg!”
Per St. Thomas Aquinas’ criteria for a “just war”, the Allies declaration of war against the Axis Powers, during World War II, is considered just because it fought against the actions of one tyrant’s decisions, sought to avenge the wrongful doings of the Axis powers, and held the rightful intentions of bringing about good. The primary Allied Powers of World War II consisted of the United States, Britain, China and the Soviet Union, while the Axis powers consisted primarily of Germany, Italy, and
