Someone Will Always Suffer Because of Conflict
Someone Will Always Suffer Because of Conflict:
Expository Practice SAC
Conflict is inevitable, and constantly present in life. Whether it’s obvious and right in front of your face or hidden beneath a pile of lies someone will always suffer because of it. Although that being said, without it- would we truly understand the importance of peace? There are some out there who believe that some of the greatest triumphs and acts of the human spirit were during times of great conflict such as wars and repression’s. But I believe that these events have caused the most horrific demonstrations of human nature in the act of killing the innocent.
In Arthur Miller’s tale of Witch hunts conducted in Salem during the 16th century in “The Crucible” he uses it as an allegory to show that sometimes the people who suffer the most during conflict actually are the most innocent. The story relates to a 1950’s America as Senator Joseph McCarthy would Blacklist innocent people for being “communists” due to little to no evidence and the person having a few opposing traits to him like being Liberal, Chinese, or speaking out against him. The public were okay with this of course, seeing how there was that much fear being spread and rumours of Russian communists taking over the country forced people to do whatever they could to save their “freedom”-even if they had spoken out against McCarthy for what he was doing, they probably would have been blacklisted themselves. This suffering relates back to the innocent people in Salem who refused to confess that they were Witches and were therefore jailed and some executed. The people who remained as not charged of being a witch still refused to speak out as they would be charged and persecuted also. More than one person suffered when it came to these conflicts, and it is sad to see how regardless that these two events in history were close to 400 years apart- human kind hadn’t changed, but instead repeated itself.
