...| Old Soldiers Never Die | A Historiographical Essay on Douglas MacArthur | | Author Name | MM/DD/YYYY | Course Number | General Douglas MacArthur, one of America’s greatest military commanders, was in a category that few men have ever been. Douglas MacArthur was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1880. Being raised in a military family had a profound effect on MacArthur as a boy and into adulthood. His father, Arthur MacArthur, was a recipient of the Medal of Honor; an award that would later also be bestowed upon Douglas. His grandfather had served on the United States Supreme Court. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated at the top of his class in 1903. This began his long and illustrious career with the United States Army. After rising through the ranks so quickly that he was promoted to Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1930, he later decided to retire in 1937. History, however, was not finished writing the story of Douglas MacArthur. He was later called back to active duty in 1941 and was sent to defend the Philippines against the Japanese forces. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his efforts in that campaign. It was also during this time that he was promoted to the rank of five-star general; a rank that has only been achieved by five other men in the army, with the exceptions of George Washington and John J. Pershing. MacArthur was then placed in command of the U.S. occupation in Japan...

...Chelsea Gerken Purdy April 16, 2014 HS 180 Japan and Article 9 Since Japan was occupied by the Allied forces and established its post Second World War constitution, there have been various influences and affects to its Article 9. Within the initial phase of the occupation, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, Douglas MacArthur, as well as legislators of the initial constitution had reasons to believe that Japan should not have military forces again. Article 9 of Japan’s constitution rejects war and does not allow Japan from maintaining any war potential. Since then, many have argued that the country has proven itself to be a peaceful nation, while some believe otherwise. In this paper, the benefits and drawbacks of permitting the build-up of Japan’s military capabilities will be discussed through academic research and personal points of view. This will occur through a short history on the issue itself, discussing the benefits and drawbacks of allowing Japan’s military forces to reconvene, and finally an analysis of which seems to be the best option. Before discussing the pros and cons of the issue, a brief history must occur. Within the Japanese Constitution is a clause that prohibits an act of war by the state. Immediately after World War II, on May 3, 1947, the Constitution came into effect. Within the text of the document, Japan formally renounces war in its sovereignty and forbids settling international disagreements through using military force. Because...

...Running head: A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Therapy Brandon Carpenter Liberty Theological Seminary Abstract The paper discusses the brief counseling approach to crisis intervention as utilized by the author. After a crisis is defined and determined, the author uses a short-term counseling methodology adapted from the ABC model as introduced in Kristi Kanal’s text. The counseling pedagogy blends the elements of the ABC model with biblical principles which may be used by the Christian counselor for the purpose of short-term crisis management. A Biblical Approach to Crisis Intervention and Brief Counseling Every believer in Jesus Christ is called to a ministry of encouraging and helping others, especially to other brothers and sisters in the faith whose lives have been encroached upon by a crisis. Many times the abundant life that was promised by Jesus is disrupted when a crisis presents itself. Although every believer can experience the joy of their salvation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit which inwardly resides in them, Christians are not exempt from the distress and vulnerability that crises are capable of producing. Counseling, which is bathed in prayer and which appropriately uses and applies the Word of God, is an essential responsibility of Christian life and fellowship. Moreover, various intervention models and presuppositions are available...

...Helen Keller's Family Helen Adams Keller was born a healthy child in Tuscumbia, Alabama, on June 27, 1880. On her father's side she was descended from Colonel Alexander Spottswood, a colonial governor of Virginia, and on her mother's side, she was related to a number of prominent New England families. Helen's father, Arthur Keller, was a captain in the Confederate army. The family lost most of its wealth during the Civil War and lived modestly. After the war, Captain Keller edited a local newspaper, the North Alabamian, and in 1885, under the Cleveland administration, he was appointed Marshal of North Alabama. When Helen Keller Met Anne Sullivan At the age of 19 months, Helen became deaf and blind as a result of an unknown illness, perhaps rubella or scarlet fever. As Helen grew from infancy into childhood, she became wild and unruly. As she so often remarked as an adult, her life changed on March 3, 1887. On that day, Anne Mansfield Sullivan came to Tuscumbia to be her teacher. Anne was a 20-year-old graduate of the Perkins School for the Blind. Compared with Helen, Anne couldn't have had a more different childhood and upbringing. The daughter of poor Irish immigrants, she entered Perkins at 14 years of age after four horrific years as a ward of the state at the Tewksbury Almshouse in Massachusetts. She was just 14 years older than her pupil Helen, and she too suffered from serious vision problems. Anne underwent many botched operations at a young age before...

...Korean War Korean War The Korean War (25 June 1950 - armistice signed 27 July 1953[1] ) was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.[2] The failure to hold free elections throughout the Korean Peninsula in 1948 deepened the division between the two sides, and the North established a Communist government. The 38th Parallel increasingly became a political border between the two Koreas. Although reunification negotiations continued in the months preceding the war, tension intensified. Cross-border skirmishes and raids at the 38th Parallel persisted. The situation escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950.[3] It was the first significant armed conflict of the Cold War.[4] The United Nations, particularly the United States, came to the aid of South Korea in repelling the invasion.

...Leadership, Management and Command: The Officer’s trinity.[1] W B Howieson & H Kahn The acts of leading, managing and commanding (based on either philosophy or practice) have had to adapt throughout the history of the Royal Air Force, in concert with changing environments; these acts will have to change again in the 21st century and will require new skills, new attitudes and differing perspectives of the Officer’s trinity. INTRODUCTION There is a plethora of literature on leadership, management and command. In the civilian (business) market, there are – literally – thousands of books on leadership; management; and leadership and management as a ‘dual’ concept. However, there are no books in the business market on what the military call ‘command’.[i] In contrast, in the military domain, there are an equal amount of books on leadership; command; and leadership and command together. However, very little has been written – to date – about military management; this represents a very serious limitation. New business practices and performance management systems now require capable senior managers and leaders and private sector organizations have found clear strategic benefit in providing a structured approach to the developmental needs of senior executives. Although it is recognized that leadership, management and command are closely related (especially in the military environment), comparatively little has been written on the nature and practice...

Fifty-four healthy participants were assessed for psychopathic traits and exposed to images of emotional and neutral faces with varying spatial frequency content. The N170 was modulated by the emotional expressions, irrespective of psychopathic traits. Fearless dominance was associated with a reduced N170, driven by the low spatial frequency components of the stimuli, and dependent on the tectopulvinar visual pathway. Conversely, coldheartedness was related to overall enhanced N170, suggesting mediation by geniculostriate processing. Results suggest that different dimensions of psychopathy are related...

...this vital dedication. All other public purposes … will find others for their accomplishment; but you are the ones who are trained to fight; yours is the profession to arms. General Douglas A. MacArthur to the West Point Graduating Class of 1962 INTRODUCTION Like the United States military, the infusion of women into the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was announced with great fanfare and the proclamation of the politically-correct notion that “women have as much a role to play in the Nation’s defence as the men”. Thankfully, unlike the US military, the inclusion of women into SAF did not result in controversies and scandals that the US military faced in recent years as exemplified in the Tailhook[1] and Aberdeen[2] scandals. Amidst continued declining birth rates and greater economic opportunities, the participation of women in the SAF has been generally accepted as an inexorable development within the organisation without much ado, trusting that the authorities have performed the necessary analysis. Is this naturally the case? Are there larger issues that we need to grapple with, given our unique circumstances, noting that up till today, the US military is still debating on the wisdom of opening up military career opportunities at such break-neck speed? This paper will examine the US military’s experience as a relevant example, discuss the arguments placed forth by proponents and opponents of this issue and attempt to rise above heated passions...
