Write My Essay For MeI’m working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.
Just War Theory has become the definer as to what is considered a legitimate war. The theory is primarily defined by its two core body of rules: Jus ad bellum and Jus in bello. More recently there has been the addition of a third set of rules: Jus post bellum. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clarity around whether they all need to be fully met or if the intention to act “justly” is enough. I am hoping you can provide some insight.
I want you to choose one of the following films: 1917, Black Hawk Down, Full Metal Jacket, or The Green Berets. All of these films are available using the Swank database. Each of these films captures core components of both Jus ad bellum and Jus in bello but also may have elements of Jus post bellum as well. For the purpose of this paper I want you to apply Just War Theory to the portrayal of war in the film, ultimately coming to a conclusion as to whether the war and actions were “just” or not? Your conclusion should only be based on what you see in the film and whether you believe intention or fully meeting the criteria is ultimately the definition of a Just War. This paper must focus on the two components of Jus in Bello and then two additional rules in order to make your argument. Those latter two rules can come from either Jus ad bellum or Jus post bellum. Which you choose are up to you and will likely be based on which movie you choose to watch. Because you are making an argument you must have a thesis statement. A thesis is a single sentence that is an arguable point, with causal justification. It is not just a simple statement of fact but instead takes on the form of an X + Y = Z type format. This is a debatable statement that you could now defend in a paper. For this paper your thesis must be marked with a *.
Your paper should be structured as follows with the proper transition from one section to the next: Begin the paper with a brief introductory paragraph that contains your thesis. Next, transition into what Just War Theory is and why it is important. Then provide a brief summary of the film you have chosen, no more than a paragraph. Finally, transition into to specifics of making your argument connecting your 4 chosen components of Just War Theory and specific scenes in the movie that help to support your argument.
This paper is to be 850-1400 words of content (does not count work cited), which is not a lot so choose your words carefully and plan out your paper before writing it. Your papers must include a printed word count. In addition, you must have two cited sources either from the class or outside of class in support of your paper. The movie does not count as a source Please use a parenthetical citation style when quoting material and provide a complete work cited.
Also, some things that must be avoided…no personal pronoun usage, no rhetorical questions, no colloquial sayings or language, no slang, no contractions, make sure you
proofread and do so out loud, and please no spelling errors. All of these will carry deductions in the grading process.
