Tyranny in justice and self-determination

tyranny is when a leader rules the nation with to much power and that is what happens in the book. Mr Jones rules over the animals as a tyrant with to much power not treating his animals well, like in page 5 were Major explains how the farmer rules "The life of an animals misery and slavery" also in page 9 during the song they sing " Tyrannt man shall be overthrown." Injustice means that not everyone gets treated the same someone is always treated better in one way or the other. there is alot of injustice in the book at the beginning since the farm has so much food but the animals are still under fed. This is shown in the book in page 6 where major talks about the injustice of man stealing the food they worked for " Man is the only creature to consume without producing." Injustice is also shown when the pigs decide they should get all the apples and milk for them selves " You dont imagine we pigs are doing this in spirit of hope and selfishness" pg 25 Self-Determination is wanting to have the right to make choices for them selves and that is exactly what the animals want to do with the farm by getting rid of farmer Jones. LIke in page 9 durong the son the y say " England shall be trod by beast alone.

We won’t back down.

I can see the bullets fly,
I can hear the machine guns roar.
Countless people fall and die,
Yet no one wants to end the war.
Everyone wishes it would all stop now,
But for the pride of our country,
We won’t back down.

Everyone runs over the line,

As soon as the commander blows the whistle.
The line between life and death is now so fine,

Especially if you see a missile.

No matter what, everyone ends with a frown,
But for the pride of our country,
We won’t back down.

As I waited time struck me on the face,
While I wondered when the war would end,

And as I looked out at space,
I saw the painfull death of my friend.
Then the gas filled our lungs till we drown,
Yet for the pride of our country,
We won’t back down.

No, we won’t back down.

Military Choice

I wouldnt join the Italian military unless I was forced in. I find wars to be needless disgremewnts and I don't belive a disgrament can be great enough to let people die for it, I also think that fighting is not the only way to solve something unless acting in self defence for itself or others. Also wars never end with a winner everyone loses something in the battle. So even though joining the army can benefit my country in ways I don't think it would benefit my countries people.

Political Cartoon

This image focuses on the men exchanging what seems to be gold or information, this cartoon seems to represent the amount of alliances made before or after a war. The illustrator seems to think that peace is the answer but the woman in the side crying seems to mean that something can or will come out of this alliance, if the cartoonist wanted to show that this alliances are being made to be broken he could have had one of the representatives of a country with fingers crossed behind his back.

This image strongly relates to our great powers game in the way that at some point every country was friends with some team or the other.This also shows how you can't always trust your alllies cause they could always turn their back on you.
