ETHICS OF WAR
Human beings have been fighting each other
since prehistoric times, and people have been discussing
the rights and wrongs of it for almost as long.
The Ethics of War starts by assuming that war is
[5] a bad thing, and should be avoided if possible, but it
recognizes that there can be situations when war may be
the lesser evil of several bad choices.
War is a bad thing because it involves
deliberately killing or injuring people, and this is a
[10] fundamental wrong – an abuse of the victims human
rights.
The purpose of war ethics is to help decide what
is right or wrong, both for individuals and countries, and to
contribute to debates on public policy, and ultimately to
[15] government and individual action.
War ethics also leads to the creation of formal
codes of war (e.g. the Hague and Geneva conventions),
the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement
for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others
[20] for war crimes.
The three key questions are:
Is it ever right to go to war?
When is it right to fight?
What is the moral way to conduct a war?
[25] The discussion of the ethics of war goes back to
the Greeks and Romans, although neither civilization
behaved particularly well in war.
In the Christian tradition war ethics were
developed by St Augustine, and later by St Thomas
[30] Aquinas and others.
Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), a Dutch philosopher
and author of De Jure Belli Ac Pacis (The Rights of War
and Peace), wrote down the conditions for a just war that
are accepted today.
[35] Cicero argued that there was no acceptable
reason for war outside of just revenge or self-defence –
in which he included the defence of honor.
He also argued that a war could not be just
unless it was publicly declared and unless compensation
[40] for the enemy’s offence had first been demanded.
Cicero based his argument on the assumption
that nature and human reason influenced a society
against war, and that there was a fundamental code of
behavior for nations.

UEG 2014/1Social media impacts real relationships
Many couples have met through social media, which can be a great way to meet friends. There can be a downside, though, since chatting with friends on social media can pose risks to marriages and other relationships.
Out of 50 couples married in the U.S. in 2011, at least one met through a social networking site, according to The Wedding Report. Social media sites are diversified in their functions, and starting intimate connections, whether marital or not, is just one of them. However, four of five U.S. divorce attorneys say they have seen a rise in cases with social networking involved, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
One consequence is the danger some relationships end up in due to networking on social media sites. The word Facebook was included in more than a third of divorce filings last year, according to a survey done by Divorce Online and reported on by the Wall Street Journal.
"When we look at social media, I see it as changing relationships in a couple of key ways," said Rachna Jain, a psychologist by training with clinical specialization in couple and marital therapy. "It is definitely another distraction from primary relationships. You see that when people are talking on Facebook, not to their partner, with them right there in the room. There is the possibility to go back in time. Facebook makes that really easy."

IFPE Superior 2014Soccer and the World Cup
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. There are soccer fans in almost every country. Soccer’s biggest tournament is the World Cup. This competition takes place every four years in a different country and is watched on television, and in stadiums, by millions of people around the world.
As with many sports, it is not known for sure how soccer began. Many believe that the earliest games were played in China and Japan over 1,000 years ago. The game we know today probably started in England. Many of the earliest soccer games were very rough, and for years, British royalty tried to ban the sport. They were not successful.
In 1857, the first soccer team was created in Sheffield, England. In 1863, eleven English teams met to form the first Football Association. In 1904, a world association was created, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Twenty-six years later, in 1930, Uruguay hosted the first World Cup competition.
In the World Cup Finals, thirty-two teams from different countries compete to win the championship. In the first competition in 1930, only thirteen teams played. The winner of the Jules Rimet Trophy that year was Uruguay. After the 1938 games in France, the World Cup was not played again until 1950, this time in Brazil.
The 2002 World Cup championships were special. It was the first time the games were played in Asia. It was also the first time that two countries, Japan and Korea, hosted the World Cup together. It was a sporting championship to remember
