Rivalry In The Military
I enlisted as a scout of The Great Drasaeniel Kingdom while we are at war with the Wothage Kingdom and my scouting platoon of soldiers is currently deployed in the west field while we watch quietly from a nearby forest. The ground trembles as an army of approximately 70,000 strides forward. A constant drumming of synchronized steps, there's no need for a scout to state the obvious: there's reinforcements marching forward from behind. Up close, it's the squeaking of leather and jingling of chainmail which overpowers all other sounds. The creaking of wood and metal of the siege engines can be heard by a our right flank only faintly and the growls of the war hounds are all but drowned out completely.

Not a word is spoken among the soldiers, some are simply too exhausted from the long march, others are still focused on the inevitable battle. The entire army is as one, a well oiled machine ready to take on and defeat their enemy. The front is lead by eager charge units armed with huge maces and axes.

The ranks are filled with many other regiments, including mercenaries and allied soldiers, including artillery units, units of war animals, stealth units and several bomb units. The Drasaeniel and Wothage armies fight each other due to a difference in beliefs, but with no side on the winning hand, this battle could go on for a long time. The wounded of one side are spread around the Battlefield and the faces of the fighters are hopeful with nervous, yet steady breathing and adrenaline rushing through their bodies, they push harder and harder on the enemy. With no way of knowing they're winning or losing the other side ferociously battles their enemies. Some have succumbed to panic and are bursting out in tears and screams, while others just wish all this was

    Every person feels rivalry or competition towards others at some point in their lives. This rivalry greatly affects our ability to understand others, and this eventually results in paranoia and hostility. It is a part of human nature, that people coldly drive ahead for their gain alone. Man's inhumanity towards man is a way for people to protect themselves from having pain inflicted on them by others, and achieving their goals and desires without the interference of others. This concept of man's inhumanity to man is developed in A Separate Peace as the primary conflict in the novel centres on the main character, Gene, and his inner-battles with feelings of jealousy, paranoia, and inability to understand his relationship with his best friend Phineas. Competition is further demonstrated by the occurrence of World War II. It is shown that, "There were few relationships among us (the students) at Devon not based on rivalry." (p. 37) It is this rivalry and competition between the boys at Devon that ripped their friendships apart.…

    The case study, Conflict in Close Quarters, discusses an experiment conducted by a team of psychologist at Moscow’s Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP). The team wanted to study the dynamics of long-term isolation in space so that they could apply this knowledge to the International Space Station. To achieve this experiment IBMP set up a replica of the Mir space station in Moscow and arranged for two teams to be isolated in chambers that stimulated living conditions on the space station Mir. One team was comprised of four Russian cosmonauts who dwelled in the smaller of the two chambers and were spending a total of 240 days in isolation. The other team consisted of three international researchers from Japan, Canada and Austria who were spending a total of 110 days in isolation in a chamber the size of a train car. When the second team arrived the Russian cosmonauts had already completed 120 days in isolation and the chambers doors were open to allow the members of each team to interact with each other. Judith Lapierre, a French-Canadian, was the only women participating in the experiment.…

Beyond the ground were the barracks – the living quarters of Jawans, behind which were the M T vehicle park. To my left were the regimental office buildings, all single story lines of rooms with a quarter guard and its regimental flag, Sentry & Kote where the regimental weapons were safely kept.
