Not since the Vietnam War had the United States been so dramatically divided over a foreign policy as it was over Central America. As a matter of fact, in the 1980s, Americans were extremely uncertain about its world role, especially about its involvement in Central America. “The Reagan Administration's strenuous efforts to combat leftist rebels in El Salvador and a leftist Government in Nicaragua provoked sharp splits not just within the policy elite but among the public as well” (Carothers). For the entire 1980s, Washington was involved in endless debates over whether the numerous leftist rebellions in Central America ...

Transnational Gangs

When questioned about Central America’s continued crime problem, particularly centered on gangs and their ability to grow, the issue can often be traced back to poverty. Though Central America has been experiencing an economic boom in recent years, prosperity has yet to reach the poorest of regions, allowed gangs to maintain a strangle hold on impoverished communities, and even prosper.

Roosevelt changed the course of the presidency and did many things that presidents had never done before, such as riding in a submarine, being identified by his initials, being ...

Discussion of the crisis issues associated with the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in 2004

Management in crisis is a tough enough situation. However, the horrific onslaught of a suddenly unexpected tsunami literally crashing dramatically upon one’s doorstep is simply unthinkable. The inconceivable occurred in Indonesia, when the Aceh-stimulated earthquake stirred the violent killer waves in 2004 costing the lives of 127,000 people, roughly half a million injured – leaving behind potential scores of disease-prone epidemics and mourning of loved ones (Pascapurnama, Murakami, Chagan-Yasutan, Hattori, Sasaki & Egawa 2016). One international journalist and helper in the aftermath of the Indonesian Indian Ocean Earthquake Tsunami disaster, Bill Nicol, in his book Tsunami Chronicles, described the ...

The response of states to the emergence in the second half of the 20th century as a result of civil unrest and armed conflicts of large numbers of refugees in Africa and Latin America became the adoption of a number of regional agreements.

Time has proved the necessity and effectiveness of these instruments ...

These maps help cities know what level of building codes they need.

There are four areas of the United States that demonstrate the highest level danger: along the coast of the Pacific Ocean including Hawaii, southern Alaska, on the coast near the Atlantic Ocean in South ...
