One of the things as a student you will find out about your new dream college is that essay writing is different. Undoubtedly many of the things your high school teacher taught about in essay writing will be very helpful to you as you approach your essay writing in college. In essay writing for college, the tutors will want you to:
• Write clearly
• Have an appealing and arguable thesis, and
• Build paragraphs that are logical and focused.
If you still rely in the high school writing approaches, they won’t serve you well in college. The famous old high school formula of the five paragraphs theme and the use of elevated language to meet a ten-page requirement, aren’t stylish enough to offer a sound structure for an essay college paper. Instead they will fail you.
Then how do you make a triumphant shift from high school to college?
First, you simply need to comprehend that essay writing for college is much concentrated mostly on a specific kind called ‘academic writing’. Albeit this specific kind can be described in more than one ways, there are three notions about it that you also need to comprehend before you embark to make an errand of writing an academic paper.

1. Academic writing is about rewriting what scholars have written for other scholars.
Once you are in collage you join a community of great world thinkers called scholars and as a college going student you will be required to also be involved in activities that scholars have been involved in for ages, like reading about, thinking about, arguing about, writing about great ideas in a certain manner. The education you will acquire in college is meant to help you understand the expectations, conventions and requirements of being a great scholar.
2. Academic writing is dedicated to topic and questions that are of a specific interest to the academic fraternity
Once you start writing an academic paper, you must have already selected a topic or essay question that is relevant and correct by paying attention in class on what the tutor is talking about. He will surely give you a background into which you can position your questions and observations. Also, bear in mind that your academic paper must be of interest to other scholars and students, this imply that it should be based on more than your personal response. It is mandated that you must write content that your audience will find helpful. That is, you should write on something that your audience will better understand on the topic, or view it a new way.
3. Academic writing ought to present the audience with an informed argument
To build an informed argument, you should sort out on ‘what you know about’ your subject from ‘what you think about’ that particular subject. In other words, you should consider ‘what is known about’ your subject and then establish ‘what you think about’ it. In case your academic paper fails to inform, and fails to argue as well, then it will automatically fail to meet the expectation of the other scholar who is your academic reader.

Emergency Management Program is used in the Army for the purposes of providing response efforts in planning, managing and execution in mitigating risks and its effects. Emergency Response plan is aligned to Department of Defense (DOD) and the U.S. Army. National Incident Management System (NIMS) as a consistency measure on the services provided by Department of Defense being adopted and implemented in all domestic installations (USNORTHCOM, 2012). The performance of U.S. Army without critical consideration of size, complexity and cause, is checked through NIMS and ICS on the nation’s effectiveness and efficiency in responding to domestic cases. According to USNORTHCOM (2012) best practices and consistent ones are integrated together by NIMS in relation to domestic incident in accordance with the federal, local, state and tribal abilities in jurisdiction levels.
In 2002 October 1, U.S. Northern Command was formed in Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado so as to provide control and command on the Defense Department homeland defense efforts and thus be in a position to coordinate a defense of the civil authorities (USNORTHCOM, 2012). As such, it defends the national power, nation’s people and the action freedom. U.S. Northern Command is expected to provide homeland defense through planning, organization and execution of services and the president and the secretary of defense can order it into a civil mission to provide support (USNORTHCOM, 2012).
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) is managed by U.S. Northern Command commander in protecting the aerospace surrounding Alaska, Canada and the entire United States (NORAD, 2012). In relation to this, U.S Northern Command’s responsibility and NORAD’s operations relate to each other in military participations and they both enjoy the services of one commander (NORAD 2012). However, under the United States of America laws, military forces are not expected to associate directly with enforcement of law instead it should provide civil support. In relation to this, it is only during emergencies such as a disaster that the military is allowed to enforce the law directly by being a lead agency. The emergency response plan would be carried out in five steps.
The response capability and probability should be assessed in Army installations. This assessment takes into consideration the environment, personnel involved and the infrastructures. Emergency responders, detection, response to warning, medical surveillance and security surveys are some of the techniques used in emergency response (NRF 2012). As the federal building exploded the first emergency response would be to assess the needs by evaluating the impacts of hazards of that emergency. Destruction of lives and property in the blast would be its major hazard and thus survivors have to be attended to and minimize the possible opportunities of the blast occurring again by arresting the three military personnel suspected to be involved.
Secondly, write a policy on the situation such as the types of explosives, personnel involved. This policy should aim at stating the objectives of the military in protecting their nations against terrorism and show they are committed into providing solutions in regards to the attack. The response on the incidents of all-inclusive and all-hazards is based on planned individual factors. The individual factors are listed as biological, natural hazard, nuclear, chemical, high-yield explosive and radiological by the Catastrophic Incident Supplement (CIS) and National Response Framework.
Thirdly, the level of response to the emergency is part of the response plan. The incident commander is expected to create and delegate assignments to the team and provide them with training through the Emergency Coordinator so as to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the response process. In every scenario the team should be able to identify protection by analyzing the specific hazards. The responders’ limitations, capabilities and requirements must be assessed by the staff and commanders with high consideration of hazardous materials incidents. During an emergency, army colonels are usually assigned to the U.S Army North as defense coordinating officer (DCO) who validates the resources being used at the emergency and makes contact with the Defense department.
Fourthly, training of every personnel involved in sorting the emergency should be carried out at different response levels. As such, the emergency response team has to handle the hazard before and after it explodes. Preparations of all the hazards have to be considered for a better response in emergency. Preparations will be carried out by emergency officials in terms of accountability, atmospheric monitoring, communications, extrication, rescue and identification of contamination in the environment so that the evidence can be stored for future use. At the emergency center, Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), there is need to develop a communication plan by its staff and ensuring there is integration between them and local authority for the purposes of proper flow of responses and resources as requested by the incident commander.
Lastly, an audit is in order as a response plan strategy that seeks to promote continuous communication within and outside the emergency team and a process should be prepared to accommodate changes in protection and exposure levels. According to Winnefeld (2011) force protection and counterterrorism should be a major concern for USNORTHCOM and NORAD since violent extremists have been threatening the nation’s capability and intent.

I would never, in my most active imaginative indulgences, have seen myself travelling to Africa, especially on such short notice. Of course like many young people with a rather fairy-tale view of life, I had believed for a long time that I would save money in the course of my working life and travel the world, with Africa being one of the many destinations I had subconsciously ticked as ‘must visit’.
My parents were initially the ones set to travel to Kenya – a country they had longed to visit. However, my mother could not get her leave to coincide with my father’s. Sudden occurrences at my mother’s organization put to paid her plans, and in her magnanimous nature she beseeched my father to take me along in her stead, since they had already done most of the bookings and paid for hotels, lodges and other such expenses.
On 12th August 2009, my father and I set off to Kenya. The plane landed at the Jommo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and I could immediately gain the sense of being in a different continent. Africa’s air is distinct – the fresh air is laced with a dusty yet invigorating component, and although I had to purchase numerous handkerchiefs throughout my stay, (I had a running nose as a consequence), the air sort of embraces you, and I will forever cherish African air’s hold. My father must have felt it too, because on several occasions throughout our tour of Kenya I caught him breathing in deep and savoring the feeling, an act I never saw him undertake back home.
We arrived at midday, and Nairobi is hot and dry in August. The sun shone bright over our heads as we tried to pick a taxi out of the many that were packed next to the exit of the airport’s International Arrivals gate. The taxi drivers at the airport instinctively know a potential customer, and they ganged around us each trying to nudge us towards their taxi. Before my father knew it, one driver had already grabbed his bag and started off, and for a split second we both thought we had been mugged at noon in Nairobi! The driver shoved my father’s bag in his car, and we had no choice but to indulge the daring man. Our destination was Nairobi’s Hilton hotel. It took us about an hour to move from the airport to the hotel – a journey of about 10 miles! Roads in Nairobi are veritable death traps. It appeared to me as if everyone was competing for the little space on the narrow roads, including pedestrians, who shocked me by their complete disregard for their safety because they literally walked on the roads alongside the cars. The taxi would move slowly for a few meters, then halt – either to give way to a kamikaze pedestrian intent on crossing the road, or simply because of the pile-up of cars along the way. The midday heat was exacerbated inside the car, which had no air-conditioner, and before long, my dad and I were sweating profusely. The taxi driver did not sweat at all despite the fact that he wore a worn-out suit and a tie.
We were relieved when an hour later we approached the entrance to the Hilton hotel. My dad paid the taxi man, and we promptly entered the hotel lobby, which was air-conditioned, and the refreshing coolness inside the lobby made me quickly forget the rather uncomfortable journey to the hotel. I asked for a glass of water as my dad sorted out the matter of hotel rooms, I gulped the water, and as I was about to take my last big sip, I coughed after having chocked on the water, I had suddenly remembered that the taxi driver had gone away with my bag in the trunk!
Naturally I was in a sour state after having lost my bag. Besides my clothes and other personal effects such as my camera, I had lost crucial documents such as my passport. My dad promised to follow up on the lost bag but even he could not convince me that I would ever recover my bag, and I could see that he also appreciated that fact. Exhausted, I went to my room and immediately fell asleep, deeply. I remember that I had dreams that were vaguely related to my experiences thus far in Africa. For instance, I dreamt that somebody grabbed my dad and went away with him, with my mother and I screaming for him. In another dream somebody had poisoned my dog, and I found the man attempting to bury it at our backyard. My first day in Africa had began on a sour note, and I longed for the safety of my home back in the US, the safety of my neighborhood, and the safety of a routine, predictable life.
On the second day, we were to go to the famed Maasai Mara game reserve to watch the wildlife there. My dad and I had decided to make the best of our trip. We took a tour van driven by a woman. She was huge, and had very dark skin. Kenyans tend to have rather brown skin as opposed to the pitch-dark tone of the Sudanese, and our driver was pitch-dark. She told us she was of the Luo tribe, and that she had always wanted to work as tour driver. She was obviously good at making friends, because soon she was laughing and making jokes as the van drove along the dusty, pot-holed road that leads to the Maasai Mara.
We were lucky because we right on time to view the famed wildebeest migration. The migration involves the movement of tens of thousands wildebeest, zebras and even gazelles from Kenya’s Maasai Mara, across the crocodile-infested Mara river, and into Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park (Holdo et al, 2011, p.3). The specter is poignant. The wildebeest move in droves; fearless and focused, before plunging into the river and swimming across. Some die, some survive. Some drown, others are eaten by crocodiles. The animals seem so intent on crossing that one could easily believe that not even nature itself could stop them. The collective noise (a determined groan) of the animals can be heard from miles away. My dad and I watched the migration in awe. When the last wildebeest crossed the river, I was left to ponder, admire, and draw lessons from the life of the wildebeests.
Determination. That is the lesson I got from the wildebeests. Determination against all odds. After viewing the migration, I decided to enjoy my stay in Kenya, in spite of whatever had happened, or would happen. Things would work out in the end, as they did for the wildebeests that eventually got to the other side; finding fresh green grass to graze on. Things worked out for me too, I thoroughly enjoyed my two-week stay in Kenya, and was pleasantly surprised when I was called to the hotel lobby and handed my bag, apparently the taxi driver had taken it upon himself to bring by bag back, with all contents intact. It is indeed true that all is well that ends well.

Environmental resistance will determine how many humans the Earth can support

Environmental resistance is a factor that restricts population growth and thwarts the population from achieving a given theoretical maximum. According to the above statement, it is true that the Earth has limited space to support the ever increasing populace. Individually, the statement acts as a guiding factor on how I should live and plan my life and my family’s. While on Earth, human beings have to consume to survive and gain energy to work. However, this consumption is dependent on the limited resources contained within the earth. It is thus everyone’s role to live a life directed towards conservation and protection of the environment from which we get our livelihood and interact with others. We ought to give paramount attention towards the planet and the nature that sustains it. It is impossible to add natural resources onto the earth. Thus, we have to protect what the Earth suffices in order to avoid the future of living lonely lives within a lonely planet.

Only human needs and wants should be considered for the building of new roads, housing developments, golf courses, cities, etc.

Human wants are unlimited. However, what is required to meet those needs is limited and human beings have to prioritize their needs. Similarly, we have to make decisions on whether to destroy the natural sceneries presented to us by the Earth to accommodate industrialization and human civilization or to protect nature. We have to mind the future generations and the natural panorama which once eluded cannot be brought back. Thus, I suppose that choices involving Industrialization be decisively assessed and conversed.

 

 

Controlled or minimized Pollution is okay.

Pollution and humankind are inseparable. As long as there are human beings living on Earth, pollution will always be there. If all and sundry realize that, we can devise ways on how to combat the amplified pollution while at the same time reducing the pollution rates. Even though it is impossible to exterminate pollution, it is very possible to minimize it through apposite waste disposal. To significantly trim down waste, industries are advised to reprocess their waste and treat any disposable waste before releasing it to the public.

The greenhouse upshot is not a big deal and is probably a temporary problem.

The untreated chlorofluorocarbons from industrial emissions contaminate the atmosphere. Even though such emissions are due to industrial activities, they deteriorate the temperament in which we live. I deem that the green house effect can be combated through suitable recycling and environmental conservation methods. We need to safeguard the milieu through lessening of carbon emissions and planting of trees to guzzle the carbon present in the atmosphere.

Quality of human life is measured only by housing and possessions.

I halfway agree to the above statement. For survival in this planet, we all need material possessions. These include the basic needs of food and shelter alongside other materials like clothes and money for our daily activities. However, an individual’s quality and values greatly determine their quality of life. How one relates with others is vital. This depends on what mores, ethical values, education and concerns they have for others. These values greatly influence a person’s decisions in life.

No human should make sacrifices for the survival of other species and to avoid planet degradation.

I partially disagree with the above statement. It is humane to sacrifice for the benefit of other people. Other individuals should not face problems when we are capable of helping them. I however disagree with sacrificing human beings for the benefit of other species. Though we should always strive for our survival, if the worst happens to come, we are bound to protect our own continued existence against the menace of other species.

Consumption is what humans have evolved to do

Despite all our undertakings while on earth, consumption is the chief reason why we survive. We eat to survive. Since time in history, human kind has evolved greatly in the field of agriculture. Always devising plans on proper farming methods all aimed at maximum productivity for consumption. In our daily lives, we learn and invent new things but the core of our invention is geared towards our own consumption and livelihood.

The definition of terrorism has been described as both a scheme and a plan; a disobedient and an obedient; a rationalized reaction to subjugation and unthinkable abomination. Terrorism has always been an effective way for the weakest side against the strongest side. It is very hard to detect the approach or emergence of act of terrorism. This is mainly because of its small size in nature and the fact that its secretive plan is always instantaneous.

Terrorism is all over the world. It is not associated to a particular area. Recently, it has been rampant and seems like moving out of hand even for the strongest countries. Despite the fact that it has been strongly opposed by leaders globally in international meetings, it is linearly increasing and creating a subject of concern. Terrorist uses all sorts of fatal weapons to terrorize their targets: they use explosive bombs, grenades, powerful guns, raping and kidnapping women and children, hijacking cars and other means of transport and participating in creation of fear.

Terrorism has created panic in people’s life. People are feeling unsecure to tour places of attractions because of unexpected havoc that terrorists craft day in day out. This senseless activity, which ill-mannered individuals perceived as a way of communicating their matter, is too big to be ignored. It has cost the life of many; children have been rendered orphans, husbands become widowers, wives become widow, people have been maimed and others displaced from their homes because of this bloody act. This has been witness mostly in India, Afghanistan, Germany, Libya and other parts of the world.

Terrorists have a preference of overthrowing the ruling class to gain power instead of using democratic means. They disturbed peaceful coexistence of people by creating cocoons inform of tribe, race and nepotism for their own selfish gain. They are normally financed by powerful and influential people in government by supplying them with crude weapons, foods, training and other tools for attacking. This uncalled-for act respect no race, color, religion, age or land. It is spread all over the world and is usually associated with political disadvantage groups, religious division and misdirected associations in the society. What these vulnerable groups do is to indulge in killing of innocents, raping and kidnapping the weakest people in the society like children and women to accomplish their narrow-minded aims. Occasionally, terrorists may have genuine objectives but the way they raise their concern is illegal. As an alternative, they can use lawful way like launching their complaints in court or requesting for a referendum if it is something to do with the government.

Terrorism in Middle East Countries like Afghanistan is not a novel to many, but it has escalated in the last few days. Terrorism in Afghanistan started around October 2001 as a results of President Bush’s promise to overthrow the Taliban government, which has shouldered wanted world wanted criminals, Osama bin Laden and other members of Al Qaeda members (Zalman, 2010). People misapprehended him for colonization. And in respond, individuals and small groups applied suicidal bombing as a communication of their objection. This form of terrorism went into extend where some brought in an issue of religion; Christianity against Muslim. Misled innocent followers began attacking one another with seeds of hatred, pain, separation and communal divide that has been hard to heal.

Terrorism in India has also been well pronounced. The growing of radical arid terrorism in the North-Eastern states of Nagaland, Assam, Mizoram and other states has been an issue of concern. The past government of this country has not been able to harmonize the issue of tribalism. Consequently, this has planted a feeling of hatred, isolation and discord in the hearts of people. The people failed to see enough reason of being part of their country. Some of them decided not to participate in the election process or any activity the government was undertaking and instead, they organized themselves into groups of terrorism to air their grievance (Kumar, 2012). The war against the government erupted. Neighboring countries that were against the government of India facilitated the hostility which was never successful. This occurrence of terrorism in the North-Eastern part of India was an indication that leaders have failed to educate their people about the importance of unity rather than tribalism in the progress of their country.

Terrorism in Punjab was facilitated mainly by psychological, emotional and religious factors. The urge of separation of Khalistan was too strong to resist. Eventually both the government and the people made crucial decision in which democratic election was held and the security of the country was restored. Pakistan helped Punjab by supplying arms of ammunition and finance to curb the spread of terrorism in the area. It was noticed that widespread unemployment, poverty, alienation and denial access to basic needs was fueling the eruption of violence in Punjab.

Terrorism can be solved through understanding and cooperation of world countries. It is a global issue which needs international unity. All governments of the world are supposed to come together to cut-down the activities of the terrorists. The reasons that lead to eruption of terrorism are supposed to be critically analyzed and firm solution to be put in place. Act of terrorism has no winner or loser. It is a madness way of achieving their short term self interest by a few individuals. Terrorism affects the quality of life and the relationship that exist among people.

Reformation of divorce laws has strengthened marriage by making it difficult to get a divorce. Couples who easily get into marriage will be unable to walk out the same way. They area now faced with a long process that makes them reconsider their urgency to attain a divorce agreement. The strict laws have enabled family to thrive and develop virtues such as perseverance in the society. Activists and lobby groups are emerging daily with an aim to help save the marriage institution. Factors like how divorce affects the family and children gives more reason to address the issue.

In the US for instance divorce is no longer viewed as a pariah. Sociologists have discovered that though divorce is higher in developed countries the developing ones are quickly following the trend (Gregory, Swisher and Wolf, 2005). The inclination by states to establish laws that will sustain marriage longer is now in effect.

Victorian England for instance views marriage as a sacred act which is life long. Those who get married have to bear one another ‘for better or worse’. The society frowns on any factor that tries to encourage divorce. Philippines and Malta are renowned Nations that have banned divorce. The Catholic Church which is wide spread forbids divorce. The Louisiana legislature went ahead to create a new divorce law in 1997 to give couples two options which entail two marriage contracts. One was the no fault divorce and the covenant marriage that allows divorce under fault conditions (Knox and Schacht, 2009). The goal of the fault option is precisely portray to the public positive regard of marriage. Arizona and Arkansas opt for the covenant marriage so as to encourage marriage. There has been a proposal by California that if successful will amend the constitution so as to divorce amongst married (Brown, 2008).

Societal factors influencing divorce, impact, implications

Vast technology advance has to a large extent contributed to increase in divorce cases especially in developed countries. Liberty and championing for equality has led to women empowerment. This as a result has changed societal roles and women are able to do what men once would exclusively do. The men on the other hand feel threatened and are not taking the changes politely (Knox and Schacht, 2009).

Changing times present opportunities for society to advance. Growth of the economy for instance creates room for empowerment and impacts. As a result of this the cost of livelihood tends to rise and opportunities such as education and jobs are open for all. Equality means that we all have capacity to be what we want to be. Women for instance no longer have to wait at home for the man to provide. The high demand of a better life cannot be met by the man alone forcing women to get into professions and careers. Social awareness increases as women form liberation movements. Social norms are interfered with and so are marital relations.

Infidelity has largely caused divorces in the world. The offence was termed so serious such that even religious teachings agree to a couple divorcing if there have been cases of unfaithfulness in the marriage. With the increase of social networking and interactions the problem has gone from bad to worse. The act has been viewed as a societal vice and led to the issue of divorce being debated (Brown, 2008).

Financial problems still are top on the list when we have to deal with family and causes of divorce. Stability of finances does not usually come unless one has a source of income or has taken time to invest. As the man he is expected to meet all household demands and sustain the welfare of his family. Material wealth contributes to the status of a man. Needless to say how will he manage to keep his partner comfortable if he has an empty account/ pocket?  Most women will not put up with continuous neglect of family duties from the head of the family.

Physical and emotional abuse is one of the most callous acts especially when spouses are involved. When getting into the marriage the man vows to love his wife unconditionally. Beating her and inflicting body / emotional harm is not one way of expressing that love. Due to increased rates of stress people especially in the marriage have to develop ways of coping. In some cases small arguments amount to physical abuse which is ground for divorce especially if continuous. Emotional abuse on the other hand has serious consequences as it leads to trauma and mental instability.

Incompatibility is when partners are no longer fit for one another. These may come up as a result of individual and personality trait differences. It includes intellectual, sexual, religious and financial incompatibility (Wylie, 2001). If two people do not agree on basic issues they cannot live harmoniously. It is hard for them to solve conflicts and make progress since they don’t share any common interests.

Poor or lack of communication in the family is a great challenge and threatens marriage institutions. The only way one can express their disappointment, anger and pain is through communication. Discussing issues and letting the other person know what your ideas and plans are helps establish a strong family. If one partner for instance suspects behavior that is questionable they can tell their partner and have that problem solved rather than live on quiet suspicions. Partners who opt to inhibit their feelings suffer quietly and damage their emotions. Their spouses are never able to tell if they have wronged them and may continue with the same offensive behavior unknowingly. This thus contributes to separation.

Marriage age determines if the couple will live together for a long time. Research has evidence that couples who got marry at the age bracket of 23-27 in comparison to those who marry in their teen years, the rate of divorce was higher in the latter age group (Brown, 2008). Children who had experienced divorce were also likely to divorce their partners when they grew up as contrast to those who came from families that did not go through divorce. This may have been attributed to the fact that it is not big deal once you experience it.

Disease and illness has influenced societal decisions on divorce cases. The responsibility of taking care of a sick spouse especially for a long time is burdensome. In a case where one spouse becomes infected with an incurable disease, the life of their partner is put at risk. Instead of waiting to get transmitted with the same disease they opt for separation.

Impact of divorce

Divorce impacts severely on society as it creates voids that only marriage can fill. Parents get separated from their children and no longer are role models. The couples have to deal with a whole number of factors that drain them (Gregory, Swisher, and Wolf 2005).

Emotionally; accepting reality that they no longer have confidants to rely on,

Financially: there is no support for the family left behind, if children are involved,

Socially: some people still blame and find fault in those who have been divorced,

Psychologically: they have to adjust their minds start thinking and behaving as a single parent, Geographically: they face adjustment issues as they have to vacate to new residential areas,

Physically: may have to deal with body harm inflicted by spouse and be on medication (O’Neill and Leo, 2000).These amongst other factors come with divorce making it an unpleasant thought.

Children involved in termination of a marriage spend sleepless nights blaming themselves. Not only are they psychologically traumatized but have to live with the sudden changes of living with single parents.

Case study

Let us examine the case of Kerry, a woman who is unable to have children though married for the last 20 years of marriage. Though there are new adoption laws facilitating adoption of children her husband has refused to adopt a child with her. All her efforts to involve relatives have yielded no fruits. The worst part of it is that her husband now wants to divorce her and marry a younger woman who can bear him a child. This inconsiderate decision has left Kerry destroyed as she no longer considers getting married at her age. The court has found the reason for divorce selfish as Kerry refuses to sign the divorce papers.

The policy states that time to put the divorce in place will be longer. It greatly helps given the situation in this case as Kerry has not committed any offence that should lead to her being divorced.

Activist groups

‘Sisterhood’ is a women activist group that champions for equal divorce rights. It is a movement that aims at achieving success through ensuring that women firmly stand after divorce. They state that it is wrong for a woman to endure a painful marriage (Morgan, 1996).

Men/father right movements have also come up. These mostly aim at custodial duties especially after divorce so as to protect and have access to the children. They can be able to visit them and continue to fund for their fees though separated from their mothers (Mclean, 1999).

My personal view of divorce would be determined by the impact it has on those involved. If divorce brings positive effects to the society I will go for it but if there are some loop holes created it becomes an issue to be considered before accepting it.

Pros and cons

The family is a core unit and from it we have society. The society as a result cannot thrive if we accept divorce to take prevail otherwise how will we live in a fragmented society? Divorce not only disillusions but puts to an end hopes and shatters dreams. Those involved always go through emotional, physical, social and financial problems. It may come as a relief to the spouse who wants justice but they cannot help experiencing the loss of marriage (Herman, 2010).

Divorce to some extent serves as a relief to many people who have endured oppression in marriage. The liberty it gives sounds like letting a caged bird fly away. For most couples it is puts to an end years of physical and emotional abuse. Perhaps marital deaths which occur as a result of physical abuse would have been saved by a simple divorce. When things don’t work out one can walk away.

The family unit needs to be sustained and protected. Harmonious living is the main issue we should aim at. Couples should learn the importance of family and go through premarital counseling to be sure if they want to start a family or not. Things are not getting simpler with the impact of globalization and technology advance. Couples have to mature with the times and decide what the future will be wisely.

A limited war is usually a conflict whereby the belligerents who are participating do not expend all of their resources at disposal whether industrial, human, and military, agricultural, technological or natural to their participants. This is usually done in order to preserve the resources for other uses or because of the fact that it might be difficult for some specific participants to be in a position to utilize all the resources instead of just some. It is a complete opposite of total war. Examples of limited war are the Egypt-Israel Attrition War, Vietnam War and Korean War. It is generally war whose main objective is usually less than unconditional defeat of their enemy. In this war the belligerents do not usually seek to destroy their enemy totally as nuclear weapons are hardly used. There are various factors that lead to limited war. They are basically finance, technology and logistics.

Why Limited War?

The main reason why nations try to limit war as well as putting rules in various wars are the disastrous impacts that nuclear war do have. Total war causes sustained and massive mobilization of resources and people whose states are usually involved. The latest technology and during the main process of developing the weapons, there are usually some few considerations for example the size of the area as well as the power of the destruction on the personnel and the material.

Factors that lead to limited war

The main crucial question is the reason behind intensification and extension of warfare. It is usually insufficient to attribute on the issue concerning the growth of warfare to ambitious leadership as most scholars allege. It is usually the power of the government that makes a total mobilization to be possible. Technology has played a major role in making limited war possible. Limited war to some extent has been characterized by vast resources that are employed though not as compared to that of total war. It is also characterized by some of the ideological passions which enlarge the ends. The means and ends of the limited war are affected largely by technology. Because of technology there are always increased manpower resources, altered military tactics and organizations and some new strategies. The adventure of technology has been the decisive fact of epoch. Though technology can be termed as the central fact that leads to limited war, it is however not the determining factor. People are not condemned to go ahead and destructively exploit all the potentialities of technology. It is clear that technology has managed to put its stamp on the modern barbarity but has not however demonstrated that men go ahead to conceive their horrible goals on the notion that they have a means in which they can achieve them. The West’s technology has continued to improve and evolve and the sale of the current technology has given many nations the capability of conducting limited war. Military technology is usually borrowed by almost all societies since the penalties of failing can usually be fatal and immediate[1].

Finance is another factor that leads to limited war. Most of the belligerent powers funded hostilities using their own resources. Logistics is another factor that led to limited war. Flow of resources in relation to transport network can either lead to success or failure of limited war. Through logistics it can be easy to manage weapons and even supplies such as food and medicine. However poor logistics can lead to downfall. For example an important aspect as far as Vietnam War is concerned is the continued provision of some effectual logistics support to USA as well as other global forces. The technology of the modern logistics has been under severe test. Timely and responsive logistics that are supported by the services of application has been the major key to success of limited wars[2]. Computer aided procedures have been used in order to predict all the logistics requirements and to test on the feasibility of supporting troops as well as building up on the logistics base. It is therefore clear that logistics is a very critical pert as far as limited war is concerned.

During the reign of Louis XIII, France underwent a dramatic and genuine revolution in the military affairs. France was involved in several civil wars and mostly against the Protestants. It is a time that finance, logistics and technology played a major role in determining the failure as well as success. For example during its war with Spain, though it won and protected itself from attack, it left the country economy severely affected. Its military prospects were poor and the troops were inexperienced with the modern means of fighting. It hence needed alliances and favorable finances. This led to limited military operation because of lack of sufficient finances. However technology played a major role during the industrial revolution as it influenced the Crimean War which consisted of telegraphy, rifled muskets as well as steamships that let France and Britain project forces where they defeated the superior Russian forces[3]. Technology had many benefits as far as the limited war was concerned in terms of steamboats, railroads, telegraphs, rifles, rifled muskets as well as the improved artillery.

Rigid concepts of warfare prevented the French people from exploiting the potentials of a modern artillery system during the late 17^th century. The French people were let down by technology as they were not intellectually ready for guns during an age that was highly dominated by siege warfare[4].

During the reign of both Louis XIII and Louis IV muskets got adopted[5]. Muskets were complicated to load especially with the little technological knowledge they had. Though they were cheap compared to rifles, they were complicated as the ignited charge disabled the troops to fire quickly. The muskets would take a very long time to reload and most of them were quite inaccurate. It also had a slow reloading time thus increased the problem until Minie ball was invented. This was a technological shortfall under the reign of Louis XIII as the muskets were completely inaccurate as a result of the wind gap between the barrels and projectile. Though the fusil muskets were developed, due to the limited finances, the weapons were not purchased for the soldiers thus the aptitude to destroy their enemies were quite limited. The muskets were not considered to be as valuable to the expedition as compared to rifles and they were only primarily useful as military firearms which were complex to operate.

During the thirty years war, Louis XIII needed a lot of money to carry out the operation but the finances were limited hence costing France a very great deal. He wanted to modernize and expand the French Navy and all this required money. Louis XIII had a desire of seeing France as a European power. However, the overseas power of France was minimal and had no any colonial power thus all the finances were to come internally from France. There were heavy imposition of taxes and the soldiers were not paid thus destroying the morality and the faith they had hence pilferaging from the society for greener pastures.

The increased use of smaller gunpowder weapons during the war led to limited power and failure and it was not always a guarantee of success. The advent of gunpowder was a tremendous comeback. Nations who had it achieved a vast advantage over those who did not have it. However, acquisition, directed employment and control of the gunpowder were usually based and afforded by only the wealthy power holders. Therefore the tremendous loop in the weapons technology as well as its main subsequent proliferation was quite limited in both scope and availability.

Despite the technology and finances that adversely affected the limited war, the inadequate road network and railways as well as the inadequate supplies of medicines, water and food caused derailment and failure in the battlefield.

Conclusion

It is lucid that though limited war is seen to be a minor operation as compared to total war, there are various factors that can lead to its downfall and these are finances, logistics and technology. Those are three factors that are quite crucial in any battlefield and they should be looked upon before embarking on the battle.

The Islamic faith is a representative of one of the acknowledged and widely spread religions of the world. It is often exploited and misunderstood since it is portrayed as one of the religions that discriminate women though this is not the case. The issue of covering up on women has been immensely discussed by the media and critics to show that women are inferior to men. This lifestyle where the women hide their skins and beauty is always looked upon as being suppression by most communities and the media. (Celeste, 2010). However, according to the Islam religion it is meant to uplift the status of the women offering them protection against harm.  Some verses in the Quran when read in English are misinterpreted as they are depicted to give men the autonomy to use their power to manipulate women whereas this is not so. Such verses are like Sura al – Nisa, 4:34 that is always misinterpreted to mean that men are at liberty to beat their wives (Hamdun, 1995). Some of these teachings have been wrongly interpreted by the media and will need to be redefined and interpreted in a way that favors the Islam religion and women in particular. There is loss of meaning in the interpretation of some verses and scriptures by critics and the media. Otherwise if the media and other tools of communication continue to misinterpret these verses there will be grave consequences. Interpretation of these verses will involve a lot of polishing and patching to favor the Islam religion and Islamic women in particular. The media ought to know that Hijab and Islamic religion does not manipulate or degrade women but rather it uplifts them and protects their chastity and modesty.

2.1 Objective

This paper is meant to bring to limelight some of the interpretations of the media regarding Islam and their women. The media has depicted the Islam women to be inferior to men though this is a fallacy. The paper will address the dressing code of Islam women and how it uplifts them and some verses and their meaning to reveal how the media has misinterpreted them.

3.0  Introduction

Most critics have argued that the female species have an inferior status in the Islamic religion basing on some of the verses that are found in Hadith and Quran. Muslim religion is one of the religions that has uplifted the status of women and protected them from oppression and harm though the media does not think this is so.  The media is a powerful tool that has led most people to believe that the Islamic religion is against the rights of women. The interpretation of Quran is meant to protect women but when interpreted by the media and the critics it reads otherwise.  In fact, Islam religion uplifts women status on the grounds that women are inherently divergent from men and their true position is to be guarded, protected and hidden (Agniveer, 2010).

Some of the verses that have been wrongly misinterpreted are Sura al Nisa, 4:34 ((Laury, 2008, 134-136) that states that women can be beaten incase they are disobedient and hence has led to immense levels of abuse on women.  However this text does not necessarily mean to hit, beat or strike women but rather to separate from their women until they are obedient (Faith freedom, n.d). The Quranic meanings are quite different when interpreted in English (Faith freedom, n.d.).

The Islamic women’s dress code has always been one of the most focused subjects and the most misunderstood and distorted subject by the media. The Quran does instruct that Muslim women to dress modestly. In verse 24:30-31 it asserts that women should make sure that they lower the gaze and should never display their ornaments and beauty. They should draw their ‘khirmar’ over their entire bosom (Shamaghsoudi, 2010).

The major misconceptions of this verse is that by covering up, men hence become guardians of women and this is usually depicted as denial of rights. However, according to Islamic translation, the veiling up according to verse 33:59 is used to protect women from harm, annoyance and for them to be recognized. So, what is so wrong with that? The media and other critics have done more harm that good in depicting the Islamic religion as a source of discrimination. The Islamic women are seen to be inferior with no freedom and this is all thanks to the critics and the media.  The Islamic religion is one of the best religions that have recognized women and uplifted their status with immense morality and ethics but it will take more interpretation and explanation from the Muslim leaders to the media and critics to get this point across.
