Diversity In The Military
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. The military has been faced with a multitude of personal and cultural issues of late that have served to force the non-civilian community to step back and take a long look at its historic policies. From gender to race to sexual orientation, the military has grappled with significant changes that have both fortified and pulled apart members of its various outfits. This coming of age, so to speak, has rendered a re-evaluation from the highest ranking position all the way down to those who hold the title of private, inasmuch as the issues at hand were growing ferocious in nature and demanded to be addressed. Clearly, the closing of the twentieth century presented the military with a strong lesson in accepting diversity. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Double Standards: Obeying Orders When Others Ignore Them
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. That life in the barracks is a stratocracy rather than a democracy speaks to the inherent nature of inequity where rules are concerned. In the military, as in every other subgroup of society, there is a division of status; civilized society is demarcated by social and economic class, while the military is separated by rank. To believe even for an instant that such delineation stops with something seemingly insignificant as a parking violation is to incorrectly understand the unspoken advantages that automatically accompany higher position. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Edward Zwick's "Glory": Power And Authority
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Based upon the letters of Colonel Robert G. Shaw, director Edward Zwick's "Glory" addresses the issues of power and authority within a multiracial setting. Shaw, who was an officer in the Federal Army during the American Civil War, volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers; from this experience, he was forced to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy – who had orders to kill commanding officers of blacks – as well as of his own fellow officers. Clearly, this was to unfold as a period of social acceptance not only for the white officer but also for his black soldiers. No additional sources cited.
