an enemy of the people or just an idealist with all the odds against him? Right from the beginning of the play it was apparent that Dr. Stockmann was a man of character.

Chief: He is a great leader, he is always on task, and he dedicates his life to his missions. John has always succeeded in every mission no matter what the cost.

This shows that his teammates have the same view on a mission as he

Moral degradation is a necessary evil in order to survive through war; therefore, construction of a new morality is inescapable. Within the stories in The Things They Carried, soldiers are required to do so during and after the Vietnam War. War breeds monstrosities and wanton cruelty. When faced with two evils, picking the lesser immoral option is not necessarily something to be frowned upon. This is what separates a soldier’s morality and a civilian’s morality. Civilians see things through a black-and-white

Star Dreck: Paranoia & Patriotism in Alien Invasion Films My premise is really quite simple: aliens are among us.And they're bad.But they're not the aliens you think they are, and they're not bad for the reasons you might imagine.In order to understand who these aliens are and why they're bad I want to begin by reaching back into the dark heart of the McCarthy era, when American paranoia in its most popular incarnation as American patriotism was at its peak.The year is 1951 and the film is Howard

they try to take what little she has left, the woman is trapped in this cage without even a shirt to cover herself. Much like X who was placed in a different kind of cage by his oppressors, X uses what he has in his cage to fight back even when the odds are against him. X uses the knowledge available as his own net to try and trap his white oppressors who think they are safe by imprisoning him.

Since Karl’s parents knew well enough of Hitler’s way of dealing with the impure and “hopeless cases” (Wiesenthal 28) they purposefully avoided any contact or connection with the “evil” (The Sunflower 266) political habits. However, Karl takes an independent decision to join the military and support his beloved nation. One would think that taking such vast measures and becoming a part of something so unknown at such a young age would destroy the individual due to their lack of experience. This factor
