In the op-ed piece "A Festival of Lies," Thomas Friedman of the New York Times raises some interesting points about the military intervention of the United States in the Middle East. Responding to other pieces noting the lack of effectiveness in the US interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq and others so far, Friedman thinks that we need to reevaluate the reasons why we are there. "What the Middle East needs most from America today are modern schools and hard truths, and we haven't found a way to offer either" (Friedman, 2012). Instead of legitimately offering humanitarian aid, we often place ourselves ...

Effects of Deployment to Military Families

The impact of military deployment ranges from physical to mental health issues that have psychological consequences for the service members as well as their close and extended families.

Schilling published the article “The H-bomb Decision: How to Decide without Actually Choosing.” That was eleven years after the initial decision by President Harry Truman to explore the possibility of building a thermonuclear bomb.

"Race, Employment Discrimination, and State Complicity in Wartime Canada, 1939-1945" offers an in-depth overview of Canada's racial and employment discriminations during the WW II period.

She illustrates how employers during the period discriminated against minorities on account of their foreign names, language, religion, and color irrespective of their qualifications and the severe labor shortage experienced at the time (Patrias, 2007).
The classification of the minorities was implicitly aided by the Canadian state through its census. Ultimately, this classification had the effect of allowing Anglo-Canadians to discriminate against the minorities. That occurred despite ...

Petrecca, L. (2012). 'Supersized' drinks on the way out in NYC. Accessed From http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/13/supersized-drinks-on-the-way-out-in-nyc/57775970/1

This form of law is almost impossible to regulate on individuals considering that even if the supersized drinks are reduced to the 16-ounce cap, consumers still have the choice to consume more than one cup. A person may also opt to buy sugary drinks from the grocery and convenience stores which would not be affected by such law. To drink or not to drink is solely a personal choice. As such, a law seeking to reduce the quantity of supersized drinks as a way to improve health is myopic. Instead the government should endeavor to change the mentality of the consumers through ...

Realist theory arose by way of reaction to the shortcomings of utopian philosophy and the utopianism underlying the post-World War I peace-building process. What is the realist critique of utopianism in relation to the League of Nations? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Woodrow Wilson was the most prominent advocate of the utopian approach underlying the post-World War I peace-building process.

From Stimson’s view, while the use of the bomb was effective in bringing an end to the war, and also justified the huge sum of money and time spent on the ‘Manhattan’ project, it just couldn’t justify using it over ...

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Analysis of "Lesser Evil" and "Lesser Evil is not Good Enough"

The Michael Ignatieff’s perception of democracy in the article “Lesser Evils “seems to be sophisticated and contradictory. “The Lesser Evil is Not Good Enough” a book review by Rabkin Jeremy on the other hand is confusing on the appropriate way to handle terrorists. The articles contradict the ideas and demonstrate a rational argument for doing the same. Terrorism in itself is wrong yet he advocates for a fair hearing and dialogue with terrorists. A summary and comprehensive analysis of the two articles will determine which of the two articles is weighty.

Unicor is a critical part of the Bureau of Prison’s painstaking endeavors to reduce the number of offender reentries in prison. Unicor is the trade name given to Federal Prison Industries, or FPI. Its mission is to provide training pertaining to job skills to the maximum number of inmates in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Provision of this training allows inmates to find jobs when they leave prison, and that curtails the chances of habitual relapse into crime.

One of the major wars which greatly impacted on the history of Israel is the Six Day War fought between the 5th and 10th, of 1967.

There has been a very big conflict especially between Syria and Israel. Although deliberate efforts have been made by the international community to negotiate peace, not much has been accomplished since each of the wrangling parties have different and divergent stance (Gerner, D.J., 2004).

The use of game theory in international politics is not a new thing. It has been used for a long time and hence very popular (Duncan, 26). The reappearance of the theory is due to its use in the economies of international politics as well as its function in the analysis of the strategies used by military in dealing with political issues. However the game theory does not give weight to the economic status of the military during analysis .Instead, it focuses on how states understand their own politics (Duncan, 31).This one weakness the theory has. One cannot understand the ...

Summary of Acemoglu’s video

In this video, economist Daron Acemoglu explains why nations fail economically. He singles out “extractive” political institutions as the biggest impediment to a nation’s economic prosperity. Acemoglu defines “extractive” political institutions as those that place power in the hands of a few individuals. This scenario features unfair regulations and high market-entry barriers. These factors conjure to enrich a clique in the society, while inhibiting economic progress for the majority of the people (Acemoglu). He contrasts this with governments that have expanded democratic space by protecting property rights. Nations with such political institutions encourage entrepreneurship from their citizenry as well as attract ...

Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder:

The overall topic of Bolten et al.’s research in Evaluating a Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment Program for Veterans With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is to examine the effect of group therapy in treating military veterans suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This topic is very pertinent to social work practice and policy because PTSD continues to be an issue that social workers and the population at large encounters due not only to past wars such as Vietnam, but also the current military activities overseas. A study such as Bolten et al.’s can assist in giving direction for social workers in ...

There was once a time when countries went to war for one of two reasons: to grow through conquest, or to defend one’s territory from incursion. If a country was having internal troubles, its neighbors would only provide military intervention if it wanted to take advantage of those troubles and add that country to their own holdings. All of that changed, though, after the Second World War. Because colonies were now too expensive (and too unruly), the major superpowers at the time (the United States and the U.S.S.R.) sought to maintain spheres of influence, and they would intervene militarily, as ...
