<span> "Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.</span>

In the moment, he acted without thoroughly contemplating his actions, although feeling guilt wash over him after he had done it. Even when others tried to comfort him, he refused to justify taking a life. Later in life, the guilt still wallows inside him.

Hardin’s ""tragedy of the commons"" essay addressed the conflicts associated with which environmental challenge?.
Masteriza [31]

In the Tragedy of the Commons, the issue of overcrowding was discussed, and Hardin used the example of sheep grazing land to illustrate its negative impacts.

When people have access to a shared resource and act in their own interests at the expense of other people, it creates a problem in economics and environmental science known as the Tragedy of the Commons. This may lead to excessive consumption, underinvestment, and resource depletion.

People's propensity to use shared resources to create a situation where demand far outweighs supply, the resource becomes unavailable to the group as a whole, and there may be a problem with scarcity and opportunity cost.
