      WWI AND WWII ERA         The picture clearly shows how the mass murder of the Jews was evident in Germany, known as the Holocaust from 1941 to 1945. The person who was significantly involved Hilter during his ruthless regime.In the picture above shows Hilter and Laval rejoicing on the death of the countless Jews hanging on the trees as they sang, ” Only God can make a tree, To furnish sport for you and me!      “. Laval was the Nazi puppet who was controlled by Hilter. He allowed armistice with Germany in 1940 and other treason against France. As the Prime Minister of France, Laval’s collaboration with  Hilter involved the killing of Jews, which was brutal and unethical. Laval’s conviction to death by a firing squad in 1945 is similar to the way they were involved with Hilter in the Jews killings. The picture is interesting as Hitler is holding a rope behind Laval’s s back, portraying the act of sadism, betrayal, and murder. His control of Laval led him to similar death as…

Antigone Introduction Antigone is a Sophocles play written after a civil war whereby Oedipus Eteocles and polyneices kill each other. The new King Creon who is Antigone’s uncle punishes polyneices for being disloyal by not giving him a proper burial. Antigone then fights for her brother to be given a decent burial. This paper analyzes the character traits of Antigone. Antigone is very committed to her family. When her brother dies, she fights for him to be given a proper burial despite her life being in danger. She is so determined. We also see Antigone’s commitment when she perfoms rituals for her brother and appealing to the gods for justice. Antigone is also depicted as being independent and loyal. Though her brother is considered disloyal and a traitor. She still goes ahead and buries polyneices hence disobeying the king Creon (Honig, 2013). According to their culture, burial was important for a soul to get rest. We also see Antigone’s independence when her sister Ismene is against her actions, but she still goes ahead to bury her brother. We can also…

ABORIGINAL DEATHS IN CUSTODY AND THE FIGHTBACK Introduction Before 1987 there had been complaints about Aboriginal people in Australia dying in their cells, and the number continued to rise in the later years. In 1987 the government took the initiative led by Bob Hawke to counter the rising number of complaints. The protests were that Aboriginal people suspiciously died in police cells under the questionable circumstance. The deaths were too common, and they had inadequate explanations; thus, public concern grew. Initially, the cases to be examined were only forty-four, but they later grew to ninety-nine with the significant states experiencing the same problems. Queen’s land had twenty-seven, Tasmanian and Victoria had eight cases, and Western Australia had twenty-one and another twenty-one in Australia’s northern and southern parts. Since the end of the Royal Commission in 1991, there have been about four hundred and thirty-four indigenous aboriginal deaths. Most aboriginal people who died in custody were acquitted as they were in remand or police cells. Aboriginal people have continuously experienced high levels of racism, injustices, and social inequality. Overrepresentation of within…

                          Homelessness in Houston Texas   Destitution is complicated as it is perpetuated by many factors such as poverty, addiction, domestic violence, redundancy, foreclosure, and, most importantly, mental health. Pennilessness is the predominant challenge facing Houston, Texas, as it exposes individuals to problems. Consequently, most of the homeless tend to end up with depression by feeling despondency and dejection, resulting in anger due to sudden change of life, which may lead to death. There is a need to address mental health as well as other psychiatric disorders, as it is the most prevalent illness in the world. According to a recent study, depression is nearly twice as common among women as men characterized by irritability, anxiety, mood swings, ruminating, and fatigue. With this trend, the individual tends to be volatile and antisocial(Pignone, Gaynes, & Rushton, 2002).  There is no known cause of depression; there have been numerous possible causes such as genetic features, environment, social well-being, and bipolar. People suffering from mental disorders tend to develop insomnia or…

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are the oldest globally since they have existed for more than fifty thousand years in Australia. Australian students need to learn and understand the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories through standpoint theory. Learning about the Australian oldest histories and cultures is very important in equipping the young generations with skills, knowledge, and understanding of how things happened in the past and how they are right now. Therefore, the Australian curriculum contains national standards that aim to reduce the gap between aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners and their non-indigenous peers. Indigenous studies refer to an interdisciplinary field that creates a rigorous and respectful understanding of native cultures. Therefore, indigenous viewpoint theory is a complex approach as it looks at native cultures across the world. The course focuses on how native groups navigate the difficulties of their rejected and suppressed experiences among areas that contest to their philosophy. The feminist viewpoint theory is based on three claims. The first claim is that the feminist theory contributes to philosophy, such…

Energy efficiency and conservation Gillingham, Richard and Karen from different institutions provide a review of concepts in the economy that influence the choices of consumers in regards to energy conservation and efficiency. The authors agree that energy efficiency dramatically contributes to the economic wellbeing of a nation while energy conservation is stereotypically concerned with reducing the amount of energy consumed in total. It is considered a more effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to energy efficiency. The authors provide evidence on energy efficiency being an investment in energy production services, using an example of multisectoral or sectoral and household levels with energy and capital applied for energy production services (597).   Herring Horace provides a case study on the critical view of energy efficiency, focusing on the observation that energy efficiency improvement could result in the overall amount for CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. The author argues that economically, energy efficiency would significantly lead to a reduction in energy prices, encourage more usage due to affordability. The author contends that changing to the use of non-fossil fuels is…

                        Response Paper: The Value of Philosophy Name: Institution:                               Response Paper: The Value of Philosophy The argument that philosophy is often viewed as a useless topic since it does not offer any physical utility is right. In consideration, most people do not appreciate the skill developed based on knowledge. Instead, they appreciate the outcomes of the skills that improve their lives and help solve their challenges. In particular, the value of philosophy is attained by philosophers who, since undertaking philosophy studies, strengthen their critical thinking skills and widen their scope of observing various scenarios. The knowledge acquired helps philosophers to apply logic while analyzing specific circumstances upon which they identify the best strategy to address the situation. Based on this application, it is essential to study philosophy since it develops critical thinking skills that help solve various problems within society. In consideration, people should not determine the value of philosophy based on physical utility;…
