My Perspective on war
My image of war is not static. My perspective on war shifts according to my values - what would I die for? The dichotomy is that the values that I would die to defend would be completely eroded through the simple act of war and killing. Personally my perspective has changed after studying
Anthem for Doomed Youth by Owen. His realistic representation of the monstrosity of war through dark imagery confronted and perverted my conception of war.
Obviously perspectives on war change as a direct consequence of war and the viewpoint that drives the nation to war in the first place can often be undermined once the society has to deal with the remnants of war.
