1. “Military necessity” is a formal term that specifically addresses the tension inherent in attempting to minimize suffering through rules, while at the same time employing a method (violence) that necessarily causes the suffering of innocent people. On the other hand, “necessities of war” refers in a more general way to the suffering and hardship - both the military and civilian population - that is an inevitable by-product of the descriptive expression that reflects an inevitable aspect of the
Necessity Necessity is a metaphysical concept. The definition of necessity is to be required or for an object to be indespensible. Necessity is often contrasted with actualism or contingency. As Leucippus said, “Nothing occurs at random, but everything for a reason and by necessity.” [1] It is impossible for something to be actual without being possible, but can possibility exist without actuality? Saul Kripke tackles the issue of necessity in his “Naming and Necessity”, and tries to clarify what

Application/Analysis: However because no Indiana case has specifically set forth the elements of the necessity defense. In that regard we agree with the Californian count’s holding People v.

“personal style” or “individuality”. However, four distinct sociologists claim it is has a different, more societal role. Thorstein Veblen in “Dress as an expression of the pecuniary culture” (1899), Pierre Bourdieu in “Taste of Luxury, Taste of Necessity” (1979), Georg Simmel in “Fashion” (1957), and Kate Fox in “Watching the English” (2004) have come to the conclusion that fashion or taste’s role is to express class strata. In this paper, I will synthesize their approaches, simultaneously identifying
Homelessness, while widely acknowledged, continues to be an ever-prevalent issue within society. This urged me to take action. In order to compromise an accurate, precise claim, I needed to heavily research and analyze the various aspects of this issue -- specifically regarding the causes of homelessness, addressing the stereotypes and stigmas surrounding it, and by finding solutions at a personal, local, and national level. Initially, I intended to include pathos as a primary theme throughout my
The author of the source believes that real freedom in a society can only be obtained when its citizens have a certain standard of living one that includes educated and healthy citizens who are not affected by poverty. The source emits a modern liberal or collective viewpoint that embraces the value of a society that is conscious of all the citizens and works to create a high standard of living for the society as a whole. Similarly to what John Locke believed, the author is an advocate for the protection

Stranded in a Foreign World What makes America so great? Many would start with the job opportunities, the freedom, or some would even say the security. I, on the other hand, see America as more than that. What makes America great, in my opinion, is their willingness to help others in need, to welcome those begging for a new start. My family turned to the United States in their time of need, for an escape. It’s true. But it is not the picture perfect scene people envision when you tell them you
A Forbidden Necessity: Prostitution A queen is a queen and a jack is a jack, but a whore is still a lady. When people think of the word prostitute, images of a dirty and sick lifestyle race through their head, well that is just a stereotype. Prostitution is known as the world’s oldest profession and today it takes many forms, from dangerous street walking to luxury brothels. In summary, women, and men, prostitute themselves when they grant sexual access for money, gifts, or other payment and in doing
The Things They Carried “They carried were largely determined by necessity. Among the necessities or near-necessities were P-38 can openers, pocket knives…carried rations…carried a toothbrush.”(2) In this excerpt, from O’Brien’s book “The things they Carried”, the word “carried” is repeated throughout, to emphasize the importance of essential items the soldiers brought with them to war. “Pocket Knives” emphasizes that these soldiers are taking the responsibility of becoming a man and the fact that
Makeup is now considered to be a necessity for the people of this world. We basically use makeup every single day to help us enhance the beauty that we are all born with. Everyone wants to look their best every single day so almost everyone now wears makeup. But there are some makeups who are just ridiculously expensive, not just because they are high quality, but because they are carried by the most famous brands in the industry. Can you guess which is the most expensive makeup brand in the world
Although women are the people responsible for populating the future generations, their health care is always on the backburner. Some people believe that women should not have the rights to their own body, and in turn have no access to reproductive care, or healthcare in general. Planned Parenthood has been mercilessly attacked by the government because of Congress’ belief on these issues. Right now, under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), women have legal and full access to breast and cervical cancer
Voting has been given as a right to all citizens of the country, unfortunately, people are educated about how to vote however not many citizens are educated about all kinds of voting in each state. Normally the most votes people come out for would probably be for the presidency, and not have enough knowledge of other voting’s of the state, such as selecting a mayor and that is how Texas loses votes by uninterested voters. After reading the articles, I see that voting advocates are working hard to
The Ethical Necessity/Imperative Companies yield to social pressures for change and ethical duties by giving token concessions to its stakeholders under the name of “social responsibility” or by the owners doing philanthropic activities. These concessions are but partial, if not artificial, commitment to ethical responsibility, and only a fraction of companies do these. There remains a lack of genuine initiative to “ethicize” business institutions. But why is there a need for a greater, real ethical
Rhetorical Analysis of “The Necessity to Speak” Sam Hamill writes his essay “The Necessity to Speak” not in response to a particular event, but the series of violent, harmful events that lead to a silence that must come to an end. He effectively uses different methods of persuasive argument, namely the tools of rhetoric. Hamill has the clear purpose of advocating “the articulation of one’s truest and deepest response” to a world of “lies and silence about violence” (Hamill 473); he desires a world
guilty, the accused are invoking the Defence of Necessity as a means of justification for their thoughtless actions, which is inapplicable to this case. In order for the defendants to be proven not guilty, all three components of the Defence of Necessity must be satisfied. The first component of the Defence of Necessity states, “there must be an urgent situation of clear and imminent peril”. In this case, this component of the Defence of Necessity has not been satisfied, since the defendants were
being prepared for war if that time comes. As the Federalists conveyed, we cannot predict when an attack is going to come, and a single, unified force is much more forceful than independent forces. Alexander Hamilton explains in his essay, “The Necessity of a Government as Energetic as the One Proposed to the Preservation of the Union,” why he believes standing armies are crucial for defending the country, “...it is impossible to foresee or to define the extent and variety of national exigencies
Guns are a Necessity for Safety “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” commented Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s chief executive officer (Resmovits 1). In the recent years there have been more and more school shootings and parents, teachers, and officials say it is about time we upgrade the security in in a classroom by arming teachers.

The Necessity of Gun Control Guns hurt about nineteen children every day, where twelve children are injured and seven children are killed. These are only just children. Imagine how many more people become victims of gun violence every day. There is a lot of debate between whether or not more laws should be passed to control the ownership and manufacturing of guns in the United States. Can gun control laws reduce the amount of gun violence? The clear answer is yes. First, the suicide rate will
