Is this Naval movement the right move for America? Recently the Navy seals have been surrounding the North Korean peninsula. Benham is quoted for saying "For more than 70 years, the U.S. Navy has maintained a persistent naval presence in the Indo-Asia Pacific. The U.S. Navy is committed to continuing this forward presence, which is focused on stability, regional cooperation and economic prosperity for all nations," there are many questions people are asking and the main one is “Are we are starting a war?”, but the answer is no. There have been lots of tension between the U.S. and North Korea. The main cause of this tension is because of the 2 decade-long standoff on North Korea’s Nuclear program. The U.S. has been having a tough time settling this issue. As these tensions increase, the U.S is trying to get other allies to help solve this issue. …show more content…

The United States should and are concerned about this issue because they know that we need to be prepared for any unexpected nuclear strikes coming our way. Another reason why the United States are concerned about this issue is because if North Korea strikes first, other countries might become very defensive and begin to strike other countries. The senate has recently said that “The No 1 threat in the region continues to be North Korea, due to its reckless, irresponsible and destabilising programme of missile tests and pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability,” they said this because they are led by a dictator and they are very reckless when it comes to war and bombs, which makes them a threat to our country and many others.

    Italo Calvino was an Italian author who wrote a wide variety of stories, such as The Nonexistent Knight and many more. He was a master of postmodern literature which can be seen throughout all his stories, including The Nonexistent Knight. This novella follows Agilulf, a “perfect” yet nonexistent knight, and his acquaintances on quests to seek out their true identity and reveals to us that “where other people exist genuine individuality is never possible.” Through Calvino’s perspective, the perfect individual cannot exist in a world where there is greed, gluttony, lust, and other inimical qualities around him, which ultimately led Agilulf to his doom. Characters in the story cannot achieve that “perfect individuality” that everyone desires, simply because perfection is unattainable, which is depicted through Calvino’s use of satire and postmodern elements. In The Nonexistent Knight, Italo Calvino creates a parodic satire on medieval romances where genuine individuality is not possible, making us question the verisimilitude of the characters in the story through the use of different types of satire, character development, and postmodern themes.

Robinson wrote “Multiple interest groups resided within the bureaucracy and even divided the royal house” (p. 16). Arguably, Korea’s sovereignty was lost in large part, due to the lack of unity among different groups and faction. It was clear from the readings that some Korean individuals and groups prioritized their self-interests above their own country’s benefit.

  • Nuclear Weapons are a Threat To World Peace

    2373 Words  | 5 Pages

    It is a well-known fact that the dropping of the two atomic bombs near the end of World War II in 1945 ushered in the dawn of the Atomic Age.

Since that time, there have been several different nuclear threats to the world, and one of those threats can be found along the Pacific Rim, in the country of North Korea. Like the dropping of the atomic bombs, it is also known that the North Korean government has admitted to possessing nuclear weapons, and in doing so, it stands as a silent, potential nuclear danger to the rest of the world. To understand this situation more fully, one must be given some background, starting in the early 1950s.
