Is it that something of great terror thrusts people into the real, reality of life? Makes them realize what the real sources of our biggest problems? We can no longer ignore that PEOPLE are the real reason this world is where it is now. But one question I must ask is, why does it have to take such sacrifices to change the world. Why is it that whenever a proposition is called to help the world, some disagree, and it is not negotiated to order?

Thinking about the recent and some past situations, I can draw a conclusion. It takes an overwhelming amount of attention to change something so great as our way of life. I look back toward the begging of our last century, to the time where countries were so alienated, to each other, and they did it to them selves. By almost the middle of the century, two great wars were fought, and the better side, the side representing goodness or good will, won. It took the attention, the deaths of over six million over the period of 15 years to realize; one country cannot and will not change the world. But a band of countries uniting to make WORLD PEACE can get the better of the attention, the goodness of it. Now, another century, and millennium is beginning and we see the same thing trying to happen the world trying to be changed by negative attention.

I wonder to myself, how long is it going to be before this world unites to change the world for the good. And fight the terror as one. I also wonder, the opposite, how long or how many attempts will it take before this world is ruined because of hatred, terror, and everything representing badness. One thing I do understand and believe though. We must have hope. We must have hope that the day will come that we will no long be scared; and we will no longer fear. One day long after this, from the people that had hope, the people that fought for the goodness of the world, along with fighting for their God given right to live, will prosper from all this fighting.

    Brown had his mind made up to travel on the pathway to Harpers Ferry right when he was born and believed he is the only one that has to lead this battle. His parents were passionate Calvinists who taught their children to view life as an endless fight contrary to evil. The battle of John Brown was on a more personal level where he remembered a memory when he was five years old and his mother whipped him for stealing a vast amount of brass pins. In addition, the battle was somewhat on a political point as well because Brown and his family considered that the sincere had to be spectators against the bad people in America. They assumed that the biggest evil during their time has to be none other than the establishment of slavery. Therefore, the father of John Brown replaced their family residence in northeast Ohio into a stop on the Underground Railroad and made his son into a dedicated abolitionist. Brown’s developing participation in the movement in the 1830s and ’40s made him set his commitment as well as the rising nationwide fight over slavery’s position in a country supposedly devoted to equal opportunity. During this era, abolition...

  • Slavery: The Primary Cause Of The Civil War

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Civil War was technically caused by the secession of the Southern States, but the secession was primarily about slavery. One can infer, then, that the Civil War was indirectly, but primarily, caused by Slavery. It is important to note that just because Slavery was the primary cause of the civil war does not mean that the war was only about slavery. The war was fought for a plethora of different reasons that surrounded the creation of a new and independent nation. These reasons include states’ rights (rights to maintain and spread slavery for the most part, however a state’s right to secede appeared to be heavily contested as well), the power of federal government (something the south wanted to weaken in order to maintain slavery), and economic and cultural differences, which had the south relying more heavily on slaves to work at plantations. While these reasons

    John Brown became a legend of his time. He was a God fearing, yet violent man and slaveholders saw him as evil, fanatic, a murderer, lunatic, liar, and horse thief.

At seventeen, he left home and soon mastered the arts of farming, tanning, and home building.

  • The Road to the American Civil War

    The majority of speculations regarding the causes of the American Civil War are in some relation to slavery. While slavery was a factor in the disagreements that led to the Civil War, it was not the solitary or primary cause. There were three other, larger causes that contributed more directly to the beginning of the secession of the southern states and, eventually, the start of the war. Those three causes included economic and social divergence amongst the North and South, state versus national rights, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Dred Scott case. Each of these causes involved slavery in some way, but were not exclusively based upon slavery.

  • Joh John Brown: A Hero Or Hero?

    John Brown was an anti-slavery renowned abolitionist in the mid-1800’s. He was famous, or in other’s opinions infamous, for his violent roles in the Pottawattamie Massacre and the Raid on Harpers Ferry. He got his anti-slavery ways from his father. His first attempts to end slavery failed, but when he heard about “Bleeding Kansas”, he and his sons went to fight for a free, anti-slave country. His sons died heroically, and he was hung. I believe John Brown was a martyr who was fighting for an important cause.

    Few veterans speak about their experiences in the war, nature withers in pain as its children were murdered on its surfaces and survivors or family members bare a hole in their chests. As I walk against the rubble, I start to think about the actions taken against the accomplices of hate, and actions taken as global society. We came in unity to form a resolution, in which we vowed to never allow anyone to commit a crime against humanity again. That vow flew away with the wind. For a moment in history, we as the human race sat down in a convention to write a doctrine of sorts. Then we turned around and went back to our countries and let hypocrisy run high. In the United States, we let blood of our citizen’s flow onto the streets because of their color. In Rwanda, many eyes were shut because their ethnicities didn’t quite match. That hate didn’t disappear it just morphed into different aggressors in a new eras with a new pool of

    Passion is what causes violence in terms of human conflict; but often society overlooks the consequences violence has on the individuals in humanity. The United States wanted so desperately to fight communism that they put their own citizens in harm’s way multiple times. The complexity of conflict, such as the Cold War, lies within this dilemma: there’s no telling who is truly right. Perspective makes all the difference. So now I ask: why must humanity employ violence when more often than not the cost is much greater than the cause? The price of violence is a life, but one of the few priceless gifts humans have is a

  • The Power Of Obedience

    1254 Words  | 3 Pages

    The human mind is always changing. It has been known that change is inevitable, but what if there was something forcing this change? Society’s struggles are becoming more challenging, forcing the human mind to focus on one thing: obedience. Obedience merges a group together, all believing in or participating in one idea. This is very evident as the soldiers in A Few Good Men all have the same agenda to follow orders, regardless of what that order may be-that is their code. However, this obedience prohibits individuals to participate in their own unique actions and thoughts. If people can’t think for themselves, then the obedience to the higher power is what drives human minds to change in a similar way. As today’s terrorist attacks and wars

  • Global Peace: What Does The Word Peace Means?

    In a world that is being changed every minute by technology, the view of who and what people are, is changing just as quickly. In all of this change where is world peace? The world is a place of constant change and a large part of this change comes from the machine of war and the advance of technology. Some of humankind’s greatest innovations have come from the need to defend the rights and freedom of different people. Armed forces are not only used in the protection of others, but are also applied in an effort to rule over or eliminate what is perceived as weaker or inferior races. For centuries there has been conflict between tribes, countries and nations. If humankind continues to travel this path he/she will no longer be the controlling entity on this planet. In a famous quote Benjamin Franklin said “Even peace may be purchased at too high a price”. What this says is that any life lost in war is a price too high to pay. Over the time that mankind has been on this planet this price been paid time and time again to no avail? Wars are still being fought in many countries all over the world today. When will it end, when will there finally be World peace? Many things will need to change in order to achieve this noble goal. The goal of world peace is a possibility and may even happen in the near future, as more countries find freedom, self-government and become part of the global community. A global community that not only serves itself but also aids in stabilizing the world community. All these things are only part of what it takes to secure global peace. What will it take to achieve a true, lasting, stable peace?
