EE Introduction
The topic in which that I will be talking about in this essay is about the development of the military helmet from the past, on towards the current time and the future of the helmet’s and how feasible the development of the future design will be. The development of the military helmet has always been a large impact on the survivability of the infantry unit, being in which the design’s had to always consider the possible advantages and risks that maybe brought to the infantry soldiers. First sightings of the use of military helmets can be dated back all the way to the medieval era, but as of recent times the dangers that the infantry has been exposed to has increased the need of a better designed helmet which would allow better mobility and protection. This is the reason in which I have focused from the time period of WWI. The research question that I had used to further this investigation is “How has the development of technology allowed for the advancement of military helmets?”, My research is meant to show how helmets have developed

The helmets were designed with common steel, meaning the helmet was designed to avoid blunt force, but this design was quickly re-made when the USA had done field research and found that majority of their soldiers had not passed away because of the bullets but rather majority of the infantry unit had passed away due to falls and injuries to the head. This had then encouraged the USA’s military designers to think of a solution to fix the problem, and the by doing so the designers have developed a helmet that is in the shape of a bell. This design had protected the infantry from brain trauma from falls due to its large cavity, it had reduced the indents cause from falls would reduce the penetration risk from
By this it means it allows for less “cracked skulls”, scars, wounds and so on. It gives a stronger protection on the softer part of the skull which is more prone to damage... ... middle of paper ... ... arch 2014]. ASTM Sports Headgear and Helmets Standards.
Finally, the third change involves the utility uniform itself, also known as “cammies”, giving it a complete makeover. The current cammie design for all branches of the Armed Forces is over twenty years old. The textile industry has made many advances in the production of clothing providing more comfort and durability. Revolutionary advances within the clothing industry, Velcro and zippers, are being tested on the new cammie uniform.
Being a military child and wife for 19 years has made me so much more patriotic, than a lot of other I know. It has made me more aware of the freedoms we have, why we have them, and the sacrifices that have been made by others so we could keep them. A world that people seem to forget about if they do not watch the news and one that they do not know much about. Not only do come civilian people not consider what current military families go through on a daily basis, but also we forget about those military families in the past during other wars that helped give our country the freedoms we have today.
Colonel Mathew Moten once said, “Professions are not professions simply because they say they are. Their clients, society as a whole, have to accept their claims and trust the professions with jurisdiction over important areas of human endeavor”.

In the twentieth century, the United States of America has transitioned into a more diverse nation. Immigrants arriving from around the globe combined with African Americans to challenge the American identity. As a result, prominent figures including Theodore Roosevelt believed every American should indeed be Americanized. Throughout the twentieth century, Americanization, which means to sacrifice an old culture in favor of American culture, remains an issue amongst authors in particular. Authors in the twentieth century expressed their stance on the battle between cultural heritage and American assimilation. Some authors such as Langston Hughes supported diversity and pride in their culture. On the other end of the spectrum, others like Booker
“What change was that I found myself surrounded by people-starting with my mom, grandparents, uncles, and aunts, and leading to a string of wonderful role model and mentors- who kept pushing me to see more than what was directly in front of me, to see the boundless possibilities of the of the wider world and the unexplored possibilities with in myself (179).” Wes started so really think about the people who pushed him to do better. I think the person who pushed him the most was his Mother, Joy. Wes wouldn’t of gone to military school without his mom saying that he had to go. With his family expecting more from Wes and them wanting to see him do better. Wes might or turn out like the Other Wes that was in the book, but he didn’t. In the book

The White Helmet’s mission statement is rather simple, "to save the greatest number of lives in the shortest possible time and to minimize further injury to people and damage to property."" They are a search and rescue team that are made up of civilian whom are the first respondent whenever there are an airstrike bombing in Syria. The mission statement is very good and relevant to what they do. The rescue volunteer are always the first respondent whenever a bombing occurred and they are volunteering to put their life on the line so that they can save another individual who are the victim of these bombing. According to the Netflix documentary, the volunteer said that they are neutral and will saves anyone who is a victim of the bombing regardless of their stance on the war. And in the hope of being neutral, it will persuade those who were once a rebel with a gun to kill and turn them into a rebel with a cause to save. Syria is a war torn state where there are many rebel group such as ISIS and rebel group who are fighting ISIS and the regime of Assad. So there are a lot of fighting going on. everyday, they are people joining force in these group. The organization’s goal is to save life and to reduce the causality of the bombing. The
While the use of helmets does aid in protecting players from brain trauma, they also increase the risky behavior of players; this is called risk compensation. Risk compensation is the adjustment of individual behavior, responding to the perceived changes in risk (TheFreeDictionary.com). Most people that wear helmets have a pre-conceived idea that, because they have a helmet on, they can possess more daring behaviors and be fine. The helmet is basically thought of as a tool to hit harder, or improve performance in today’s culture. Adventure writer and pilot, Lane Wallace (2011) accurately understands the dangers of helmets being used incorrectly, and how they are used as weapons instead of safety. Wallace also theorizes like the NFL, a change in football culture and of viewpoints towards helmets would vastly reduce trauma to the
There are many militaries throughout the world but the US Military is seen as the most professional and capable military in the world. We are perceived this way due to our rules and regulations that have branched from our fundamental principles and doctrine. Uniformity is one of our leading regulations in the military. Uniformity is what makes the military have a professional image. It is the basis of our instructions and regulations concerning the dress and appearance of our military personnel. Recently however, the Pentagon has decided that it is more important to accommodate certain groups of people then to have a professional and uniform military. On January 22nd 2014 the Pentagon passed a new policy that is easing up on the existing regulations by allowing beards, turbans, headscarf’s, tattoos and piercings of religious nature to be worn while in uniform (Pellerin, 2014). This new policy has started a heated debate about whether this is a good idea or not. I myself believe that this policy should not be allowed because it is undermining basic military values, lowering our standards on regulations, and it is a start to a new undesirable military force.
An opinion is the formulation of personal experiences. After my four year career in the U.S Army, I can officially profess that I am one combat veteran out of very few. During my time on active duty it was constantly mentioned how only one percent of the nation’s population serves in the military. In stark contrast, the U.S has one of the best military defense yet only attracts one percent of its citizens. There must be reason for this, which led me to revise my priorities during my tour. Living in the lifestyle of a U.S soldier molded my perception on what is truly important, which is education. Education is a tool that may enable a person (such as I) to jump through the hoops of generational poverty into a life of stability. This is a component
“Vermeer’s Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World”, by Timothy Brook shows how Europe got a hold of the commodities that is porcelain and tobacco and different ways that they were used. Porcelain has traveled through many countries over many years. It first originated in China but was then traded into India. It was sent to Persia because of restrictions in the Koran forced people to find other things to serve their guests. The porcelain was mostly in Europe because of the need to show how wealthy they were and because of curiosity. Not many Chinese merchants were willing to trade with the Europeans, but some private sellers and some Chinese officials like Gao Cai, who was an imperial eunuch in charge of collecting maritime
