The important conflict in The Red Badge of Courage is Henry Fleming's
fear about how he will perform in his first battle. There are three people
who expressed their ideas about their fears before the first skirmish. They
are Henry Fleming, Tom Wilson, and Jim Conklin.
Henry is worried about how he will do in this first battle. He isn't
sure if he will run or not, and he is scared that he might. He doesn't
want to look like a fool and run, but he is also scared of getting killed.
Even though Henry never expressed his fears to Tom Wilson or Jim Conklin
the audience could tell by the expressions on his face that he was scared.
While he was writing a letter to his parents he writes about how he is
going to fight for the first time and he wants to make the proud. After
Henry runs away from the first battle he feels embarrassed because he
didn't have a wound. No one knew he ran so he still had his pride and
after that his attitude changed and he began fighting with no fear.
Tom Wilson is another young sodier in the 304th regiment who is called
the loud soldier. When he is in the tent talking to Henry and conklin he
talks about how he will not run and take on the whole army on by himself.
When he is in the first battle he tries to run but is caught by an officer
and made to go back and fight. His attitude changed from being confident
to being scard of fighting.
Jim conklin is also a soldier in the 304th regiment who talks with
Henry and tom. When Conklin was talking to Henry and Wilson about how they
felt about fighting their first battle, he says that he will run if he sees
everyone else running. He is the only one to admit to everyone that he is
scared about fighting. He is also the only one not to run away from the
first battle even though other people were. When Henry sees him walking in
the road after the war he has been shot and is hurt bad. Jim is afraid of
lying in the road and being run ober by the artillery wagons.

Many people against raising the minimum wage create arguments such as, “it will cause inflation”, or, “ it will result in job loss.” Not only are these arguments terribly untrue, they also cause a sense of panic towards the majority working-class. Since 1938, the federal minimum wage has been increased 22 times. For more than 75 years, real GDP per capita has consistently increased, even when the wage has been
In this article, James Dorn and David Cooper argue whether raising the federal minimum wage will help or hurt low-wage workers. James Dorn, Vice President of Academic Affairs at the Cato Institute, argues that raising the federal minimum wage would hurt low-wage workers by reducing job opportunities and raising prices. Dorn also states that the federal minimum wage is responsible for high unemployment among teenagers and minorities and lower productivity among low-wage workers. David Cooper, an analyst from the Economic Policy Institute, argues that the federal minimum wage is not a living wage and that raising the minimum wage doesn’t have a significant effect on employment. Cooper also states that eighty percent of low-wage workers are at least twenty years old and that eighty-five percent of small businesses already pay their employees more than the minimum

Raising the pay for minimum wage workers will be the proper way to create effective results, yet there exists those who oppose an increase. Neal Asbury, an American entrepreneur, writes “Raising the Minimum Wage Brings Minimum Benefits” to express how a hike in wages will increase unemployment levels. The author introduces a survey done in 1992 regarding economists’ beliefs towards an increase in minimum wage, where 72 percent claim it would hurt unemployment levels (Asbury). According to this claim, more than half of economists argue that if a rise in minimum wage is to occur, unemployment will soar among the country. Businesses will be prone to lay off employees or hire fewer workers because of higher costs and will lead low-skilled workers to be jobless. An increase in pay will lea...

His hands trembling from the emanate fear; his weapon seems frozen in time. Staring into the face of death, he stands frightfully evaluating whether or not to run, knowing it will assuredly accelerate his demise if he tries to move.

“The introduction of the euro will represent the most dramatic change in the international monetary system since President Nixon took the dollar off gold in 1971 [and when] the era of flexible exchange rates began…the euro is likely to challenge the position of the dollar [and hence] this may be the most important event in the history of the international monetary system since the dollar took over from the pound the role of dominant currency in World War I” (Mussa 2002).
