Sunday Come, Sunday Go

If you read my previous post, I wrote about all my grandiose plans on all my studies that I’m so gonna catch up today.

But those plans just simply remained as plans. I did not accomplish any of them today. I have another few more hours for today to make amends, and that so I believe is to at least finish reading the Spectator magazine that I borrowed from school library. It’s due tomorrow.

I have read half the magazine and it’s really insightful on the [tag]Just War[/tag] theory. It explains to me the proportionality measurement that works as a measuring tool to determine whether a war is justifiable or not.

There are two main parts of the theory. First, it states that if the possible harm created from the war is more than the possible good which will result, then the war is not justifiable. Secondly, it also states that if the collateral damage it creates from an attach on the opponent is more than the military value of the target, then it is also not justifiable.

Most countries subscribe to the Just War theory in determining whether or not a war should be waged or not.

But this theory of measurement has several drawbacks. First, how do you give a measurement of proportionality on losses substantiated from the warring parties i.e. own and enemy? Secondly, it is also hard to determine the possible harm because there are many damages that are unintentional.

Anyway, that’s some short snipped on the Just War theory…Cool stuff….

Well, if you are wondering what happened today that made me abandoned all my grandiose plans, here’s the reason. I went out with my aunt and family who came down to Singapore.

They took a one month break from China and are now spending a few days in JB.

I met them at Queensway Shopping Centre and we had lunch there. Then we made our way to the Haw Par Villa….What’s that? More update + pixs in the next post…. =)
