...Chris Kyle is the deadliest American sniper in history. He is my hero because of the countless lives he saved in during his time in Iraq. In 1999 Chris joined the U.S. Navy and soon after became a Navy SEAL. He was selected and trained to be a sniper. The objective of his job was to watch over the other troops and prevent ambushes. His first hard decision had to be made just a couple weeks into his first tour. Kyle was looking through the scope of his rifle and saw a woman with a child.

...When the word “hero” is spoken upon, a connection is typically made with the word “super,” and the thought of characters flying around saving lives in some way, shape, or form arises. Heroes define not always as classic fictional characters such as Superman or Batman; heroes are people who stand for the common good, who make selfless sacrifices for a public cause. Selflessness means having little to no concern for oneself, to give to others without looking for personal gain. An exact science to what makes someone a hero lacks presence- instructions on how to attain the position of a hero do not exist. However, performing acts of goodness with no intent of personal gain can qualify someone as a hero. A person qualifies a hero when they performed a service to others in need, voluntarily, while making sacrifices, without expectation of reward. The Soldier- A soldier is a person who serves in the army. Soldiers sacrifice their life day by day for the people of their country. They sacrifice their life and their time and their ability to live safely in their country and being able to make their own choices and being able to sleep in a nice bed at night. Kyle Carpenter exhibits the status of the youngest...

...Gabriella Hatzopoulos War & Society Uniting Tactics, Divisive Consequences Rape, torture and murder against innocent civilians- what could cause someone to do such a thing? The My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War was a result of a war tactic that continues to be utilized today: racism and dehumanization of the enemy. This strategy, employed by the Armed Forces and facilitated by the media back on American soil has proven to be dangerous in that it causes both soldiers and civilians to treat an entire group as subhuman and unworthy of empathy. We can see this in the My Lai Massacre and through the persistent hare crimes against Muslims during the United States’ current “war on terror.” On March 16 1968, 140 men of the American Charlie Company entered the village of My Lai and were ordered to kill whoever they saw. There was the belief that the province of Quang Ngai where My Lai was located was a stronghold for Vietcong guerillas. After increasing frustration with losing their soldiers and not progressing in the war as much as they’d like, the group took their anger out on what was thought was a village of Vietcong enemies. It was the first chance they had to meet the enemy face to face instead of through grenades and booby traps and finally get even. Lieutenant William L. Calley ordered a search and destroy mission and urged that anyone in My Lai was to be considered connected to the Vietcong in some way, and should be killed. Though no guerillas were found when...

It dispels the myth that you have to be extroverted to be happy and successful.” —JUDITH ORLOFF, M.D., author of Emotional Freedom “In this engaging and beautifully written book, Susan Cain makes a powerful case for the wisdom of introspection. She also warns us ably about the downside to our culture’s noisiness, including all that it risks drowning out. Above the din, Susan’s own voice remains a compelling presence—thoughtful, generous, calm, and eloquent. Quiet deserves a very large readership.” —CHRISTOPHER LANE, author of Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness 4/929 “Susan Cain’s quest to understand introversion, a beautifully wrought journey from the lab bench to the motivational speaker’s hall, offers convincing evidence for valuing substance over style, steak over sizzle, and qualities that are, in America, often derided.
