Recommended: Effect of war on civilian life

Anything that happens around the world becomes a part of history, and history repeats itself time and time again. War and civilization creates the human condition, becoming ubiquitous. Human condition is used to describe the way certain situations are difficult to handle because of a previous disposition (“The Human Condition”). Civilization without war is not civilization and without war civilizations would not have existed. Civilizations all work to keep the legacy that started before them (Rutledge). War and conflict enabled people to blend differences of religion, ideology, and tradition which resulted in the birth of multiple civilizations. Conflict also brought about empathy, compassion, and internal sacrifice to the individuals associated and the ones around the ones affected. Civilization in the world is what it is because of every action that’s been taken in the past. The evolutionary nature …show more content…

  • The Emotional and Psychological Burdens in 'The Things They Carried'

    803 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger once said “Perjor est bello timor ipse belli”, which translates to: “the dread of war is worse than war itself”. With this quote, Seneca identifies that war has both its physical and mental tolls on its participants. The psychological and emotional scars of war do much more damage to a solider than the actual physical battles. Tim O’ Brien repeats this idea many years later in his novel “The Things They Carried”, by describing how emotional burdens outweigh the physical loads that those in war must endure. What keeps them alive is the hope that they may one day return home to their loved ones. Yet, the weight of these intangible “items” such as “grief, terror, love, longing” overshadow the physical load they must endure since they are not easily cast away.

    Written by author Tim O’Brien after his own experience in Vietnam, “The Things They Carried” is a short story that introduces the reader to the experiences of soldiers away at war. O’Brien uses potent metaphors with a third person narrator to shape each character. In doing so, the reader is able to sympathize with the internal and external struggles the men endure.

  • The Human Conditions

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    The two most pivotal parts from each of these books, Heart of Darkness, and Lord of Flies, are the two scenes that will be compared. The grove scene from Heart of Darkness is incredibly powerful and express much about the human condition. Similarly, the boar head scene in, Lord of Flies, is also very powerful and expresses similar things about the human condition. These books were both wrote at the beginning of the twentieth century, and like many other writers, Joseph Conrad, and William Golding both viewed the upcoming century with a pessimistic view. Both authors saw the human condition going downhill and fast. These stories both depict how they view the human condition then, and what they thought it would become. Three things that each scene portrays about the human condition are, everyone has evil in them, everyone will lose their innocence, and everyone is manipulative.

  • The Future of Mankind

    4043 Words  | 9 Pages

    If we compare the present with the past, if we trace events at all epochs to their causes, if we examine the elements of human growth, we find that Nature has raised us to what we are, not by fixed laws, but by provisional expedients, and that the principle which in one age effected the advancement of a nation, in the next age retarded the mental movement, or even destroyed it altogether. War, despotism, slavery, and superstition are now injurious to the progress of Europe, but they were once the agents by which progress was produced. By means of war the animated life was slowly raised upward in the scale, and quadrupeds passed into man. By means of war the human intelligence was brightened, and the affections were made intense; weapons and tools were invented; foreign wives were captured, and the marriages of blood relations were forbidden; prisoners were tamed, and the women set free; prisoners were exchanged, accompanied with presents; thus commerce was established, and thus, by means of war, men were first brought into amicable relations with one another. By war the tribes were dispersed all over the world, and adopted various pursuits according to the conditions by which they were surrounded. By war the tribes were compressed into the nation. It was war which founded the Chinese Empire. It was war which had locked Babylonia, and Egypt, and India. It was war which developed the genius of Greece. It was war which planted the Greek language in Asia, and so rendered possible the spread of Christianity. It was war which united the world in peace from the Cheviot Hills to the Danube and the Euphrates. It was war which saved Europe from the quietude of China. It was war which made Mecca the centre of the East. It was war which united the barons in the Crusades, and which destroyed the feudal system.
