War is not only causes physical injuries, but emotional ones as well. Throughout history, soldiers returning from war have acquired emotional damage after enduring to the harsh conditions of combat. They suffer from illnesses such as PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress disorder, a disorder in which traumatizing experiences from the past still affect an individual to which they are unlike themselves anymore. Along with PTSD they suffer from moral injury, the pain that results from damage to a person's moral foundation. In All Quiet on The Western Front By Erich Maria Remarque and Thomas Hardy's’ “The Man He Killed” characters struggles with the emotional effects of war. Despite the internal struggle faced by Paul and the speaker from the poem, both…
Gwen Harwood’s poetry is very powerful for its ability to question the social conventions of its time, positioning the reader to see things in new ways. During the 1960’s, a wave of feminism swept across Australian society, challenging the dominant patriarchal ideologies of the time. Gwen Harwood’s poems ‘Burning Sappho’ and ‘Suburban Sonnet’ are two texts that challenge the dominant image of the happy, gentle, but ultimately subservient housewife. Instead, ‘Burning Sappho’ is powerful in constructing the mother as violent to reject the restraints placed on her by society, whilst Suburban Sonnet addresses the mental impact of the female gender’s confinement to the maternal and domestic sphere. Harwood employs a range of language and structural devices in order to criticise the stereotypical repressed roles of the female gender. Thus Harwood encourages the modern reader to perceive Australian social structures differently and hence reject the inequitable role of women in modern society.…
The chapter starts off as Elijah and Xavier are being sent to another great Allied offensive in the city of Amiens. Xavier makes the statement that the battle for food has become as constant as the war against each other and that for most people the war itself is the real enemy. The Canadian army has advanced a great distance and it appears that it will not be long until the war is over. As Xavier and Elijah are raiding the trenches of the German lines Elijah disappears in pursuit of the retreating Germans, which causes Xavier to worry that Elijah’s lust to kill might have driven him too far this time. After Elijah’s return he is lectured by Colquhoun (the man who replaces McCaan) about Elijah’s absence, he remains silent as he realises any further comments will only make matters worse. It is shown that Colquhoun and Lieutenant Breech are jealous of Elijah’s medals and achievements. After this Elijah searches for Xavier to tell him the things he had done when was gone, he describes to Xavier how he followed the Germans and began to kill them one by one until he ran out of bullets. Elijah claims that it was too easy and that it lost the thrill it once gave him. While Elijah is returning to his section after his killing spree he stops in one of the other Canadian division’s in-order to obtain more morphine, in his attempt to steal the medicine he notices an injured man in the medic’s tent asking for morphine. Elijah inserts so much medicine into the man that he sees the life leave him. Xavier is unpleased with this story so that he walks away from Elijah. Later on, Xavier and Elijah report to Lieutenant Breech and see Grey Eyes who appears to have been gone for a few weeks. Elijah is being accused of being an addict to morphine and to scalping the heads of his kills. Elijah is outraged to the limit where it begins to frighten Lieutenant Breech, and as he pulls his revolver out and points it at Grey Eyes a bombardment sends…

I think the article was written in order to highlight the level of ignorance that had crept into society especially towards violence, perhaps in wake of the recent increase of violent imagery on television. I feel it was intended to act as an eye-opener for the readers which shows them how such shameless acts of laziness can claim lives. The tone that Gansberg uses throughout the article is one that is slightly aggressive especially when describing the actions of the neighbors who failed to alert the police. By doing this Gansberg aims to spark some dislike in the audience’s minds for the actions of the neighbors and witnesses. Appeals to the police are also used in the article so as to give it a sense of authority and this is done by often quoting the police including the Assistant Chief Inspector.…
Autopsies are vital to homicide investigations as they are the examination of a corpse by dissection and evaluation to determine the cause, mechanism, and manner of death. Geberth’s Practical Homicide Investigation does an excellent job in explaining these concepts. Cause of death is anything that is resulted in an individual to have died, which can be caused by an injury, illness, or anything that could cause harm to the body (Geberth, 2015, pg 815). Examples of causes of death are people dying from heart attack, heat stroke, freezing to death, choking on something, drowning, falling from a tall height, car accident, or a heavy object falling on them. Mechanism of death is the process which causes harm to a part or parts of the body resulting…

The article, “A Literature review of Characteristics and Factors Associated with Mass Murders,” focused on mass murders’ personalities, mental health, and other factors that could have contributed to how or why these people became murders. It talks about how aggression is the behavior carried out with the proximate intent to harm someone. However, violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person or against a group or community. The article speaks of a similarity to how violence is the form of mass murders. There are some people who are willing to kill more than 3 people with careful planning and certain or no distinctive time frame. Mass murders can also be known as pseudocommando,…

The irony of it is, the that Absolom murders is a well-respected man who advocates for reform in black communities for the better. (Paton) Even though apartheid has not been put in place yet in the timeframe of the story, nearly all of the prejudice ideas and unequal policing already existed in Paton’s South Africa. In being stripped of all of the norms and morals that the tribes provided, many would leave the tribal lands and go to the city, all seeking something. Without guidance, they fall into the mix as well, they look for others like them to seek understanding of the new place they are in, and the only place they find others of their own are the lowest places of the city. Being misguided by others who were misguided by those who hold…
