Rapes? Famines? Horrors?

I do not think schools teach us ENOUGH about history. There is so much they censor us students from.. for what reason? So when we get into the real world and some disaster strikes us, we don't know to react? I feel that yes at younger ages some things in history should not be taught until at an appropriate age for us to be able to handle it. Things like the Rape of Nanking shouldn't be kept from us, or the Ukraine Famine. We should learn about these horrific events so we can better understand our world's history, and know how to look for the signs of it possibly occurring again! In the past history has repeated itself over and over because governments have censored and hidden the truths and wrongs they have done to protect really only themselves, not their people. My generation and future ones, shouldn't be the history repeaters... we should be I guess the history writers. I mean this in the sense that we know what has happened in the past and not let that become reality once again. Who cares how harsh and brutal the history is? Personally, I'd rather LEARN about it then be apart of it! It's happened, it's the past and should have the opportunity to learn in detail about what's happened. If someone can't handle it, then they should leave the room and be given an alternate assignment. It's better to be given the chance to learn about horrible genocides, and famines, and wars and what went on, then to not get the chance to learn about it at all..

Should we?

I do think that we should get involved in SOME affairs in other countries. If genocide is going on or something terribly wrong we as one of the strangest nations in the world should get involved, and help the people who cannot help themselves. Now how far we go to help these other countries in this day and age is different. I do not feel we should fund too much to helping, especially not if its putting many of our military men in danger for something that's not going to help us in the long run. But we should speak up and try our best to put a stop to it. We have the resources to help the "unfortunate" countries get through these hard times and to help their people.

Cinderella Man

• The movie started out with him winning a fight and coming home to a HOUSE where his wife and children were happily waiting.
• The next scene showed him in a small apartment with nothing on his chestier drawer.
• He entered into a fight where, he left penniless and got kicked out of the boxing association because he broke his hand and they saw him as washed up. Jimmy Braddock
• He had to try and find work in the depression and would show up to the docks every morning. Hoping to be chosen.
• His friend went missing and he had to go to a hooverville to find him.
• He got back into boxing, and became a stud once more.
• He ended up making it to the World Championship and winning.

How does it compare..?

The Bourgeoisie represents the class of Capitalists which represents Willy Wonka because he privately owns the factory and all the investments, distribution, pricing of the products, ect...All are run through him and the market economy. while the Proletariat is known as the working class such as Charlie and his family who could be termed as socialism. this class will eventually overrun the Bourgeoisie/capitalists because socialism is basically sharing everything as a whole common community. know to Marxist as the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles. Like the movie, Charlie gets the factory because he gives Wonka back the everlasting gobstopper thus representing how he shares common things as a whole with the community, and shows that he a "Faithful" or "Loyal" subject to his superior.

Torture Tactics

A.      I would treat these prisoners with the respect that their country would show towards our American prisoners. In the worst way possible. I’d do anything to get this information out of them for the sake of my countrymen. These prisoners are MOST likely trained to be put through these torture tactics from the age of one. So it’ll be nothing to them. Hurt them, whip them, mess with their heads… I DON’T CARE as long as I’m doing it for the right reasons.

B.      A short term repercussion could be people looking down upon us as “Inhumane”. But really? Who cares?! What’s a couple BAD people compared to TONS of good people?!  Weigh it, innocent should win in this.

BRING IT ON!

In dog fighting, I’m pretty sure the only thing going through the pilots mind was “Oh, goodness I’m going to die no matter what” that’s what would be going through my mind! If the wing is shot, you’re doomed, if you make a wrong turn, you’ll crash into either the other plane or the ground. That’s probably the scariest thing anyone could go through! Unless the pilot was a very cocky man, then he’d just go down with his pride eventually, because his thought was most likely “This guys going down, he ain’t got nothing on me, BRING IT ONNNNN!” (said in manly voice) <--- if that was his thought process then good for him. Unless of course he was seriously skilled at this style of fighting.

Frustrations

A frustration from the communication barrier of the war would definitely if being a soldier, not knowing what is going on back home. For me being a girl, if my father, brother, or loved one were overseas… I would be a wreck. I can hardly go a day without talking to my big brothers, better yet not knowing if at that exact moment if they are alive, captured, or injured.  Not having the men in my life everyday would drive me insane, there was never a certainty if everything was going to be okay with the men fighting in the war. For the soldiers too, missing out on their little girl growing up, or not knowing if their wife was being faithful, that had to be tough. They had so many things to worry about, and so many days to wait for replies.
