repeating itself. The book Night, by Elie Wiesel, takes place during Hitler’s execution of genocide. The city of Aleppo was caught between presidential supporters and opposing rebels in Syria. Though the events are not related, they share many common points though. Each had countless victims and lots of artillery. They both were detrimental to the physical and mental integrity of large cities. Aleppo was one of the most important cities in northern Syria. The people under fire were treated very similarly

Throughout history, civilians have been subject to the violence of war. The legality of targeting civilians has been especially scrutinized in recent history, but the issue has existed since the earliest tales of conflict. Although it may seem brutal to attack noncombatants, targeting civilians is an effective strategy, which can be understood by examining the role of civilians during war, the objectives of such a strategy, and cases stretching from the past to the present. During war, the line

Do not squander one another’s wealth in vanities, but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good will.” The Holy Quran, 4:29 This quotation from the Quran is not only a command from Allah (God) through prophet Mohamed, but an indication of culture that is based on trade.

Othello’s reputation was shattered. After reflecting upon his time fighting Turks in Aleppo and on how he had been acting towards his wife, Othello’s own character considered what he had done as unforgivable. In fact, Othello did not simply detest what he had done, but he hated himself for it and believed he deserved to die. Othello then finally showed his true character by stating of himself, “And say besides that in Aleppo once, where a malignant and a turbaned Turk beat a Venetian and traduced the state
great sustained Jihad launched by a united Muslim world to counter the Crusades, with the only Muslim states really involved in fighting the Crusades were those directly adjacent to the Crusaders namely the city states of Muslim Syria, most notably Aleppo and Damascus and Fatamid Egypt, with the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, the Danishmends and Mosul also playing a role at times.

Over the years, we have seen propaganda, documentaries, misinformation, beliefs and choices that have been made in and by zoos. With all of this, it means our judgement and others have been clouded by what media has told us. If we look at zoos in other regions, and those affected by war, then does your viewpoint change on what and how you see zoos? What about zoos in other regions of the world? This question is a good one; as it applies to regional views. Zoos all over the world have different rules;
The United Nations (UN) has estimated that the two and a half year long Civil War in Syria has lead to more than one hundred thousand deaths in the region. The continued conflict in Syria has caused the UN to stop updating the death toll in Syria because they have found that information from Syria and the surrounding region is no longer verifiable (UNCHR, 2014). The UN’s Refugee Agency (UNCHR) (2014) has noted that 2.4 million Syrians have registered as refugees, but they estimate that there are
inhumane. Treating people as if they are property or things to be controlled dehumanizes them and strips you of humanity. People have been used slaves throughout The Road; the lack of society only further contributes to the inhumane acts. The air raid in Aleppo was an obvious inhumane act that targeted hospitals and civilians. “Government bombs targeted neighborhoods with medical facilities, including the children's hospital and a nearby clinic that has one of the few remaining intensive care units in the
Hypothesis: Othello had flaws and imperfections which made him responsible for his own downfall. Characters in the text Othello by William Shakespeare are known for the way they set the scene and weave their own storyline into the plot. There is a reason why so many critics choose to write about the main character Othello as he is one of the most diversely criticised character. In this case, the critics F.R Leavis and A.C Bradley acknowledge the point of whether Othello is at fault for his own downfall
In two plays one being a classic, Othello by William Shakespeare and the other a modern play, Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar each end with a whack both emotionally and physically. The religion that both of the main characters in Othello and Disgraced were raised into have the most instrumental impact on the conclusion of the play’s plot line. Othello and Amir both struggle with fully letting go of the religion in which they were raised in, Othello, from Act 5, Scene 2 shows how Othello battles his new

The United States, and our allies have faced difficulty in sending aid to Syria, and continue to deal with obstacles in sending even basic medications to Syrian civilians.

their evil deeds with each other. The first witch says to the other two witches, "A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap,/ And munched and munched and munched./ 'Give me, quoth I/ 'Aroint thee, witch!' the rump-fed runnion cries./ Her husband's to Aleppo gone, master o'th Tiger:/ But in a sieve I'll thither sail,/ And like a rat without a ail,/ I'll do, I'll do and I'll do." (1.3.4-11). In other words, she is so mad at the woman who did not share the chestnuts that made her put a curse on the woman's
