The Unites States of America has one of the most multicultural societies in the world. The nation is home to people from all races. In recent decades, the nation has become very democratic and racially tolerant. However, this has not always been the case.

The first example of this was the loss of liberty and land of the Native Americans to white settlers. The other action that comes to mind is the Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation between blacks and whites. There ...

Overview

Islamic architecture is based on the traditions of the Muslim community dating as far back as the seventh century.

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo was first published in 1977 and was immediately acclaimed in many reviews as a superbly written account of one man’s experience of the Vietnam War. It will be seen that not only was the Vietnam War, because of a unique set of circumstances, very different in many respects from earlier wars, but also that it had a life-changing effect on Caputo: he departed for the war keen and eager for battle, but returned as a total opponent of the war.

According to Caputo, how was the Vietnam War different from earlier wars, such as World War II?

The Vietnam War, according to Caputo, differed in six major ways from the earlier wars, ...

Introduction

War has been argued to be a force that is responsible for the punctuation of our life, binding us to our inconsistence moral failing. Diplomats consider war to be the very last resort after other alternatives have been comprehensively exhausted in an attempt to attain consensus in the event of a disagreement between parties (Hedge).

This kind of war that is as a result of exhaustion of other available options in a bid to arrive at a consensus is what is termed as just war, since its conduction is justified by the failure of other available options to establish agreements between disagreeing parties.

Abstract

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world. The preliminary literature review shows that these states have volatile constitutions and the poor or non-existent separation of powers causes the country to marginalize its minority ethnic groups. This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...

Terrorism has had a tremendous impact on the manner in which the United States approaches it foreign policy (Woodward 2006).

There was a beginning creation of a framework to deal with the emerging terrorist threat but, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many of the factions once under their influence were once more free to do as they ...

Introduction:

This novel is a superb concoction of several themes which affected the Japanese nation after the Second World War and how some characters in particular especially those Japanese who opted to leave their ravaged country and search for a new life abroad. The autobiographical sense of the novel is also an intrinsic part of it as Endo was actually the first Japanese to study abroad after the war and that surely changed his life. However the most important part of the book, at least to my knowledge is the continual conflict between Japanese culture and the influx of other western cultures ...
