Cutting-Edge Dynamics of Drone Technologies: Military Strategies and Peaceful Innovations
Get PDFThis article examines recent evidence and expert opinions on the pros and cons of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones. It analyzes the nuanced advantages and disadvantages of utilizing drones for both peaceful and military purposes. Rather than advocating for a blanket ban on drones due to their potential use in targeting individuals, such as al-Qaeda operatives in Pakistan or Russian soldiers in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the article adopts a comprehensive approach by engaging with contemporary literature that assesses the complex implications of drone technology.
The analysis highlights the potential benefits of drones in peaceful applications, including enhanced surveillance capabilities and their role in humanitarian efforts like disaster response and environmental monitoring. It also addresses significant ethical, legal, and operational concerns related to military use, such as accountability, the risk of civilian casualties, and the implications for international military power dynamics.
Based on this assessment, the article presents specific recommendations for the international community and regional groups, emphasizing the establishment of regulatory frameworks that promote responsible drone use, prioritize transparency and accountability, and ensure compliance with international humanitarian law, thereby fostering international dialogue and cooperation
It Peaces! On the Linguistic Significance of Peacing as Activity
Get PDFThis essay asks for the impact of grammar as enframing for the perception, interpretation and praxis of peace. It reflects the urge for a subject in all grammars of European origin since antiquity and discusses the colonizing consequences of the metaphysical peace as a singular in its transcendental context. This noun contrasts with action- and proceeding-oriented understandings of peace in many non-European languages. Such post-modern insight called the academic discipline of peace studies decades ago for the understanding of peaces as plural. This essay goes one step further and proposes to peace as a verb also for European grammars. It asks for the possibly de-colonizing and enlightening consequences of such an immanent notion in the still transcendental modern context
The Methodist Theological School in Ohio and the “Easter Assault on Racial Barriers”
Get PDFThis article traces the stories of four faculty members of the Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO) who, alongside other individuals, were jailed for their integration activism in Jackson, Mississippi in March of 1964. The four faculty members included Van Bogard “Bogie” Dunn, Everett Tilson, Paul Minus, and Jeffrey Hooper. All four were outspoken supporters of racial equality before their arrest, and the persecution they and their fellow protestors faced did not prevent them from voicing their position. Their actions played a pivotal role in organizing for change across the Methodist church and its subsequent desegregation. This historical analysis discusses the events around the arrests in Jackson, Mississippi, and the consequences thereafter. The narrative is based on archival sources and available research on the period
