Survivors of conflict can either hide from future conflict or continue to fight against it. Malala Yousafzai, an activist for education and women rights in Pakistan. After being shot in the head and undergoing a 5 hour operation to reconstruct her skull and restore her hearing, she still continues to fight the Taliban who shot her and preventing her from attending school at certain point in her life. Despite being faced with life threatening situations, survivors of conflict still continue to fight conflict as it has previously shaped their lives in such a way that it compels them to continue to fight (their) conlfict.

Of those whom encounter conflict, they not only fabricate themselves, but also others, as they can become role models for peers around them. As in times of conflict, people come to understand the true priorities of their own lives, and the mere fundamental necessities needed for survival; food, water and shelter.

Lieutenant-Colonel Vivian Bullwinkle, Mrs. Statham, was an Australian Army nurse during the Second World War. She was the sole survivor of the Bangka Island Massacre, when the Japanese killed 21 of her fellow nurses on Radji Beach, Bangka Island in Indonesia on 16 February 1942. She had endured the sinking of the Vyner Brooke which is the ship the Japanese shot down; she faced a lot of horrific things in the many weeks she was captured. Bullwinkle spent three and half years in captivity; she was one of just 24 of the 65 nurses who had been on the Vyner Brooke to survive the war.

Yes, survivors of conflict are forever shaped by their experiences. One such survivor, Sarah Saaroni, a WW2 Holocaust survivor. Her story conveys how survivors' experiences leave one traumatized as she could not speak of her experiences for the next 40 years of her life. Like most people who have experienced conflict, survivors have coping mechansims. Sarah's was sculpting events of WW2. Surviors can be forever shaped by their experiences for a variety of reasons- trauma, loss, sufferage, internal conflict, regret. In relation to Sarah, she lost her entire family in the war, having said "a proper goodbye."

In times of conflict, survivors are the ones with the most to lose.

1- The surviving women are forced to watch their friends die and withstand torturous events. They face all of these conflicts, they lose loved ones, they lose the lives they knew and most of all they lose themselves all because of an individuals desire to 'win'.

Nervous for my first post. #pregamejitters

Surviving conflicts physically is not the same as the mental torment we must carry with us after the conflict is over

# data[].attributes.body
survivors- the women worked together and empowered each other in order to ensure survival. for example sining to show the soldiers that they "had not lost thier spirit". because of the war and being captives of the japanese they had to change their lifestyle, living in harsh conditions such as eating snakes and scrapes like chooks. because of their will to survive, most women did survive, yet it was an experience that they would never forget and their outlook on life would change. they may be more greatful for "luxuries such as soap".

The psychological affects of conflict such as prisoner of war camps are usually much more devastating than that of the physical conflict that is withstood.

This can be linked to torture victims such as Jeffrey Rignall who was captured by serial killer John Wayne Gacy, a troubled man who sexually abused and tortured at least 33 men and boys. The recounts of these victims could be used in relation to the psychological damage that is inflicted in conflicts such as this. In an account from American newspaper "The Gadsden Times," in 1980, the paper speaks of a trial of JWG, in which a number of defense witnesses were...

At the end of Paradise Road we witness characters from the play rejoice and celebrate with one another. This is an example of how conflict has shaped their experience. Prior to their experiences in the war camp, many characters, Adrienne Pargiter and Daisey 'Margaret' Drummond did not associate due to social classes and racism. However throughout the years of the war they develop a relationship, and once the conflict is over they do not reassume their social roles, they remain friends due to their ability to disregard the social classes that once defined them.

For my external link I'm using a negative way that conflict can shape the behaviours of a survivor.

1- A link to the text could be their coping mechanisms- look at the method of every individual

This could then be linked to how to that can shape a person.

- The mindset of the women

- The use of humor by some women

- The role the vocal orchestra played in the survival

Link to the text:
- the women who were held prisoner in the POW camps: they learn to adapt to things eg. to avoid beatings they would have to not speak their thoughts and just go with whatever the guards tell them to do. During this time they had to adapt to the events around them in order to survive

External resource:
- Women during world war two: Because of the many hard labour jobs being left empty, women were needed to further involve themselves in society (not just the main care takers for their family), therefore over time due to this conflict women have been forever shaped in their role in society. Now they are not as inferior to men.
- Child soldiers are forced to join state or non-state armed groups and learn to fight/kill. They group up thinking this is ok and that then shapes them as individuals (negative result of conflict) -> can find a true story

Thesis:
- The conflicts that happen in our lives around us, is what shapes us as individuals
