This claim has received backing from the Unites States if ...

Introduction:

Since it became an independent country in 1953, North Korea or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has been subjected to heavy scrutiny by the international community.

While the international community wishes to influence North Korea’s actions, the fact the country is isolated and information is very scarce makes the issue difficult to resolve. If the international community acted haphazardly towards the issue, North Korea may take ...

For the past couple of months, several news organizations are reporting China’s astounding economic growth and subsequent mobilization in the Asian region which is both alarming and impressive for many experts. Their economic growth is astounding for the very fact it proves China is still an economic powerhouse even in today’s world given their history as the world’s first traders.

Currently the most populous country in the world, china is synonymous with communism. The extent to which Chinese leadership embraced the idea cannot be compared to any of the historically socialist states.

The Chinese government, under the brutal and dictatorial leadership of such people as Mao Zedong, underwent socialism in the 20th century (French, 2007). Today, communism has ...

There is no doubt that the methods that governments use for gathering intelligence have changed over the past century. More information than ever is being stored on computers and is sent via the Internet-- much of this information is secured, but for as long as information has been valuable, there have been people who are sophisticated in the methods necessary for acquiring it. In the past, this may have been spies or cat burglars stealing physical documents, but today, it comes mainly in the form of information technology (IT) professionals who are adept at cracking into computer systems and ...

In a sensational essay wrote by one of America's renowned political scientist Samuel Huntington (1993) “The Clash of Civilizations,” he asserted that the nations have not reached the end of its history yet. Instead, it is only the beginning of a long series of conflict rooted from the fundamental antagonism between the various cultures of the world.

In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995).
Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 205) indicate that the term less developed country (LDC) fosters images of backwardness, poverty, and lower levels of technological sophistication. They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...

THESIS: An analysis of recent cases in which the United States used military action in international incidents reveals the concept of “policeman of the world” as the government imposed principles that place their foreign operations within the boundaries of law and order. Thus said, while countering the Al-Shabaab’s antics with an air strike against its leaders, the United States responded to North Korea’s nuclear tests with sanctions as a means to regulate the country’s weapons program.

The recent international military activities approved by the United States government echo similar strategies employed at the global capacity.

1. Since 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party won the Chinese Civil War, China has undergone many social and economic changes, for both ideological and practical reasons.

This caused the institution of several five-year plans, the first of which began ...

Japan’s parliament recently reinterpreted its constitution. This reinterpretation passed into law a security bill which allows Japan’s military to aid its allies in overseas combat. This is a major shift in Japan’s security after seven decades of pacifism. Presently, the Japanese military are permitted by the constitution to engage in overseas combat while aiding its allies under siege (Easley et al, 56). This new law has provoked an array of reactions from its northeast Asian neighbours. For instance, China viewed Japan’s newly acquired military stance as potentially hazardous. This is because it ignites the fear ...

Watching the videos says so much about North Korea that not many people are aware about. The mainstream media seems to characterize the country as an isolated state where the way of life is highly controlled by the government. However, the videos showed another side of a country that is suffering internally because of its apparent isolation from the rest of the world. Before, I have known North Korea as a socialist States where the head of the government assumes absolute power over the entire country. However, the video titled Secret State of North Korea showed a more profound ...

Thesis

Many individuals argue that the nuclear weapons developed during the nuclear age are critical. They base the weapon’s importance on the fact that they can be used in deterring war between countries that are in conflict. However, critics argue that this is not the case.

This brief essay examines ethical considerations surrounding two military and politically-charged events, one in 1960 and the other in 1968.

Question 1
While the realism theory represents a spectrum of opinions or ideas which tend to circulate around four central pillars of political groups. That is egoism, international anarchy and power politics the liberal approach on the other seems to focus on a broader picture in terms of issues concerning enlightenment.

These theories are of the opinion that the situation in the pacific is inevitable from the human consequence but rather it is a ...

Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping were all leaders in the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Prior to 1949 everyone generally followed Mao’s lead in setting policy. But Liu and Deng began to resist Mao’s ideas and power following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

During cold war, both US and USSR wanted to surpass the other in technology and economy and there was a race of weapons, space satellites, nuclear tests and every other such performance which can show one’s superiority over the other. However, there was no direct combat between these two powers; rather there were indirect and proxy wars. They both were supported by their nationalist allies; Soviet Union was supported by Asians which include the Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact countries and US was supported by Europeans. Hence it can be rightly argued that it is nationalism that is the ...

A fight erupted between the United States of America and the Soviet Union over superiority though it was no physical. Each of the countries was afraid of each other for a physical way to be initiated. Before the Second World War, the Soviet Union enjoyed the superiority advantages but, “by the end of the war, the United States had emerged as a global superpower. Wartime mobilization made the economy the strongest in the world, buttressed by the military clout of the nation’s nuclear monopoly” (pg 674). The Soviet Union experienced the contrary, “The German offensive against the soviet Union killed ...

The novel is a reflection of a struggle that never ends, no matter how someone, how a country ...

Iran and Nuclear Power

This paper focuses on the widely debated issue on the Iran deal considering it as a policy that will define the manner in which Iran will develop its nuclear energy program. Essentially, the argument will take a serious approach thus defending a position to the effect that the Iran deal, as a matter of policy, is essentially flawed. Importantly, it will also adopt a logical approach in order to underscore the gaps which would lead to a future crisis.
Indeed, as afore mentioned, the Iran deal is a badly thought idea that uses naivety to as a tool of ...

The term Cold War has always been used by many to describe the relationship between the Soviet Union and America from 1945 to 1980. The Cold War started as soon as the Second World War ended. It would have been termed World War three by the free society. However, that whimsical name (Cold War) was preferred because there was no military confrontation between the two nations. Many factors led to the emergence of the Cold War, and it had many impacts.
The first reason that resulted in the start of the Cold War was the idea of the Soviet ...

It was a beautiful sunlit morning, and our class was confined in a classroom taking a Math test our teacher gave us. There was nothing in that test that I didn't know: there were some fractions to solve, some proportions to do, and some graphs to draw. I felt quite confident, because I had studied for the test and cramming everything before the test actually did me good, as the blank with the test questions did not look so daunting to me. I quickly skimmed through all the tasks to determine the value of work I was to do, ...

Family, Society, Individuality, and Friendship

The Confucian society had a different view of Friendship. Friendship was considered unique in the societal context as it was not perceived as a family or state bond. Friendship was mainly considered voluntary as it was not forced upon an individual. Several arguments were brought forth against a bond that included assertions on its hierarchical nature and in the preservation of one’s morality. According to Kutcher (2000) the primary aim of friendship was thus considered to be one that was mainly based on the provision of services to others. Confucianism mainly deals with the ideal character of individuality ...

Intercultural awareness can be difficult for some, and after interviewing some of the foreign students on the WSU campus, it is clear it is a hurdle we must overcome here, as well. Some students feel ignored, as if American society ignores them, only caring about its own culture. I found stereotypes were often placed on an international student’s shoulders as an invisible burden and, even when they attempted to educate the individual on the realities of their country and culture, it was brushed off. The issue is not the reality of the world, but the openness of American ...

Capitalism and socialism are to some degree restricting schools of thought in financial matters. The focal contentions in the socialism versus capitalism verbal confrontation are about financial fairness and the part of government. Socialists accept monetary imbalance is awful for society, and the legislature is in charge of lessening it by means of projects that advantage poor people (e.g., free government funded training, free or sponsored medicinal services, standardized savings for the elderly, higher assessments on the rich). Then again, entrepreneurs trust that the legislature does not utilize monetary assets as productively as private undertakings do, and hence society ...

Liberty has a different meaning to different people. Some people may not even know liberty even exists because of the society they live in which is very oppressive towards certain ideas. Liberty to some people is the freedom from controlling government, the ability to decide one’s destiny, to be able to speak or write their thoughts, to not be confined based on one’s appearance, and to be free from foreign rule. While there is no real official rule about what liberty truly is, I had the opportunity to interview people from various backgrounds about what liberty is ...

War historians consider it appropriate to refer to the Korean War as the ‘Unknown War’ or ‘Forgotten War’. This in essence due to that fact that up until the collapse of the USSR and subsequent declassification of Soviet documents on the war, the events leading to the conflict were largely shrouded in mystery. On the 25th of June, 1950, the North Korean military attacked South Korea and as such, varying motivations for the war led many countries to support either the North or South. This may shed more light as to the underlying causes of the war and more ...
