Military Family Awareness Paper
For Military Family Awareness we were assigned to make a project for one of the military families. My partner Skyler and I had chosen a project & the family to give it to. We had decided to make christmas ordainments, one christmas themed and the other military. My partner had chosen to do the Christmas ordainment, so i worked on the military. We got our materials together and began to work. To Make our ordainments we first had to gather all of the supplies. For the my project I used a plastic ordainment, glitter, feathers, and glue. For Skyler's, she used a plastic ordainment, glitter, and glue. Making them was pretty simple and not time consuming at all. All the products were at a reasonable price, and the outcome of the project was magnificent.

    Yes I do believe that the military will be excepting of a culture changes. The culture of the military is forever going to be changing. It may not be as great as desegregation, woman’s rights, or as great as the LGBT movement. The world is changing and if you do not change with it you fall behind. I think the military is more open to change now than it was back in war ll. I do believe the military we able to handle the culture changes that it counters in the present and future. Because of what we've learned with in our own country. This will benefit us when learning other cultures around the world. We have never fight a war in our own country. So we should be open to new cultures if we are going to be in other countries. So times I think that the United States thinks it’s the only country in the world and that other people do not matter. Life outside the states if very different and uncommon to us. If we do not know their culture then how are we to understand who they are, what they believe in and why are they are fighting. This will help the goal of the military if the soldiers are well educated in the culture that they are fighting against. In many of the videos we watched in class a number of times the soldiers were talking to the local people. This is where I think educating the soldiers really…

    In “Gender- and Class-Based Role Expectations for Army Spouses” author Margaret Harrell discusses how class-based identities shape role expectations and perceptions of Army spouses (69). She begins by discussing what these gender roles mean by arguing that the spouse roles that exist within the army are culturally constructed, and these roles are not expected of men which proves they are gendered (Harrell, 70). She goes on to argue that these roles are culturally constructed because there is nothing preventing men from filling the role of officer’s spouse (Harrell, 70). Harrell then progresses through a brief history of Army spouses and how the military community was primarily concerned with officer’s family life (74). Harrell quotes Roger…

    When donating money to organizations many people are worried about if their money is even going to the organization or, if it’s going into someone else’s pocket. Organizations tell people that their money goes to helping people, animals, or anything that will manage to get your attention. Most of these charities make depressing commercials to grab the viewer's attention and make them feel sorry for what has happened to these people or animals. Well the real question is how do you actually know if your money is going to save this innocent dog or this suffering person?…

    I do not agree with the reinstitution of a military draft. In 1973 the military draft was lifted in the United States and with good reason. The United States should not rely on a draft to fill military vacancies but rely on recruitment. It is true that the military offers incentives and luxuries that some civilians could not afford otherwise such as food, shelter, and medical care. However, they are just that, incentives. The military is an option and should remain that way. Many enlist for different reasons, some with economical reasons, others with strong political urges, but they enlist out of their own desires, beliefs, and more importantly, free will. Some see the military as a way of life; others see it as the only way to educate themselves in a society where education is valued so highly. With rising tuition costs, many enlist in the reserves as a guarantee for their degree. College is costly and even with the aid of tuition assistance and can leave a graduate drowning in debt. These are all choices all college bound 18-25 year olds make and some just do not have the luxury of choosing.…

    Do you think we need a military draft? I think that we do not need a military draft. There are no good reasons why we should possibly throw are life away when we don't want to. There are many good reasons against a military draft as you will read later, but first I will explain what a military draft is in case you don't know. A military draft is a way to fill in the areas where volunteering doesn't fill and when you get a license you have a number that goes with you and during a draft there will be random numbers chosen and if your number is called then you will have to serve in the military, but for only for one term unless you want to stay longer.…

    Have you ever been in the position of leaving your entire family behind? Well, I have an opportunity to make that choice this coming summer. I have a choice between staying here in the United States and playing baseball for an American Legion Team, The Outlaws, or leaving the US and playing for an Ambassador Baseball Team in the Dominican Republic. This decision is tough considering no one in my family can come along. Also in the sixteen years of my life, I have never been away from my family for an extended amount of time. Mainly, I feel there are three big factors in my decision. These factors are meeting new people with a different background, learning a new language and adapting to a new culture.…
