Looting

to be prescribed by law.'. Take to mind the Third Amendment DOES allow soldiers to commandeer quarters in wartime. Officers were observant about making sure they AND their soldiers had multiple opportunities to loot. A complete prohibition against looting, from enemy civilians too, had to wait till the 20th century. To me, I personally think the United States needs a whole new constitution that could possibly save America. The constitution is ignored anyway. The 4th Amendment was developed…

Because of dangerous situations occuring all around the world in different countries, there are many men, women, and children crossing over into the United States. The USA now has millions of immigrants. The problem? Too many illegal immigrants. On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as our 45th President. Since then, he has been trying to take a stance on illegal immigration, especially over the ones who deal drugs, are in gangs, have a criminal record, or pose a threat to American…

This extract is part of a telegram sent by Reinhard Heydrich on the 10th November 1938, in preparation of the Reichskristallnacht. It was sent in secrecy and in great urgency to the whole of the state police and the SD. In this telegram Heydrich discusses the measures that will need to be taken to ensure that the evening’s events run smoothly. It emphasizes that no individuals may be harmed, however Jewish buildings may be destroyed as long as nothing is looted and providing that no German…

The causes and consequences of the riot were lawlessness and antisemitism. Antisemitism was communicated through anti-Semitic slogans, and people explicitly proclaiming themselves the proud reincarnations of Hitler (signs with messages like “Hitler didn’t do his job”).The lawlessness occurred when the error made by the police caused the police to be accused of giving preferential treatment to the Jews. Yet according to a different source from Commentary magazine, written by Philip Gourevitch…

Between the dates of April 6 and July 1994, nearly one million citizens of Rwanda’s seven million population were massacred in an effort to exterminate Rwanda’s Tutsi population (Klinghoffer 3). Neighbors killed neighbors. Torture, rape, looting, and exile ensued. People who had been living together for decades, sharing the same language, culture, and religion became enemies. The violence was genocide-- a deliberate, systematic annihilation of Rwanda’s racially-defined Tutsi group (Straus 1). In…

advance, the Union armies, tried a variety of measures such as scorched earth, and search and destroy missions, none of which eradicated primitive warfare. The Union started using guerrilla warfare in response to its success in the south. They began looting, burning, and killing others in the manner of their enemies. The North established counter-guerrilla forces that acted on the command of leaders behind enemy lines. Different from bushwhackers and partisans, these guerrilla fighters acted…

I was born on September 16, 1980 in Baghdad, which is the capital of Iraq. I have two brothers who I spend my childhood with, playing outside and trying everything, even crazier things. I went to a preschool when I was four years old because my mom and dad were working at that time. Then, I went to the first grade when I was six years old. Then, when I grew up I stopped playing outside because that's how the life in my culture. I spent the time either studying or helping my mom. In 1991, I saw…

I believe that humans are essentially good. We all have a heart that can be turned evil but when we are first born our hearts are pure. Think of us humans as fresh white canvas that is being painted by society and our environment. To make a person bad, something has to affect them in a evil way. In the book, Lord Of The Flies, it shows how civilized boys turn into animal-like savages after they crashed landed on an island during World War 2. Philosophers have been throwing around this question…

protests throughout our history. We are the masters of sit-ins and hunger strikes and "jail no bail." The only time peaceful resistance is bad for a society is when it is not peaceful anymore. When demonstrations turn to riots or marches turn to lootings, then a lot of the weight and significance of the protest is lost, in my opinion. One of the greatest parts of America is the ability to stand before your country with a sign or a group and protest what you do not like. I saw a protest while I…

Roe v. Wade was a law that was passed to legalize abortion because of women's right to choose and right to privacy. In the 1960s, Abortionists would charge $1000 dollars or more for an abortion. People would perform illegal abortions, which is civil disobedience, in order to legalize abortion. In the 1950s and 1960s, 100,000s of abortions were performed annually. 1000s of women would die because anesthesia was usually not used and the procedures were rushed.…
