The Advocate Who’s Autistic
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2013
I'm Laura Youngblood. My Channel used to be called "From Laura's Perspective" and be a TH-cam library of video essays on a variety of topics. But being too broad is an issue. So I've changed the name of this channel and it is now dedicated to videos on racial and cultural diversity, sexism and feminism, poverty, and most importantly, disabilities, since I myself am on the autism spectrum.
I have two other channels, one entitled "World of Spirituality" and another entitled "Online School of Pop Culture." The former is a channel all about the diverse religions and spiritualities of the world, with somewhat of an emphasis on my own religion of Christianity. The latter contains video essays on all things film, television, music, books, and theatre, which I used to post here. Click the links below to find those channels and check them out:

Was the American Civil War a Just War?
The American Civil War was a brutal conflict with a high casualty count, and it concerned the very serious matter of slavery. How closely did it fit the criteria of the Just War Doctrine?
In this series, "was it a just war?" I examine wars that have been or are being fought and use the criteria of the just war doctrine to determine whether the war is or was justified. My channel, the Advocate Who's Autistic, is dedicated to video essays on all things social justice, history, sociology, and the like.
0:00 Introduction
0:55 Summary of the war
3:26 Just Cause?
4:13 Competent Authority?
5:27 Probability of Success
6:40 Last Resort?
7:21 Distinction
9:10 Proportionality
9:53 No means that are malum in se
11:22 Just war score
11:55 Final Thoughts
