Essays on Churchill

At Fulton, Missouri, Churchill delivered a memorable speech, where he used descriptive phrases that surprised both Britain and the United States. Prior to his speech, Britain and the United States (U.S) were concerned with their unique post-war economies (Boyer 47). He had all along been grateful to the Soviet Union, for playing a pro-active role in bringing World War II to an end. It was his speech that changed the way in which the Communist East was viewed by the Democratic West. Being one of the Grand Alliance’s architects, Churchill recognized that its dissolution was a tragic reality. ...

After the conclusion of the American Civil War (1861-1865), the United States forces returned to front line duties such as engaging in brutal combat with Native American tribes and controlling domestic disorders. The next significant war took place in 1898 when the federal government endorsed military aid for the Cuban revolutions being waged against the Spanish Empire. It was during what would later be known as the Spanish-American War that the weaknesses of the United States Army and Navy became evident. Apparently, rather than building a strong force after their Civil War, the US units either demobilized or only ...

The quantitative report on brand parity perception in the automotive industry in Germany is not a research study because it lacks some of the important characteristics of a research study.

The report is a mere analysis of previously collected data. The qualitative report on identifying competitors as a challenge for start-ups, however, is a research study since it comprises all of the important aspects of a research study ( ...

Political Research Theory: The Feminine Mystique

Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique is considered the commencement of major women’s liberation movements. The 1963’s publication is the most popular of Friedan’s works because it endeared the author to women during the 1960’s. Subsequently, the 1970s feminists noted that the views expressed in The Feminine Mystique established the cornerstone of their movement. In the work, Friedan examined the frequent unhappiness that women of the 1950s experienced on a daily basis. The author described such lack of happiness as “the problem that has no name” (Friedan 15). Typically, women experienced a constant feeling of ...

Throughout the course of modern history, numerous events have revolved around the Middle East, affecting the cultural perspectives of the people living there. For instance, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent political maneuvering by Western/Arab nations spawned decades of bloodshed in the region, destroying both an entire generation of people and the viability of a nation. The creation of Israel in 1948 created a massive power shift in the region, as the Arab nations attempted to retake the territory but were soundly defeated, and again in 1967.

Charles L Mee, Jr’s article “A Good Way to Pick a Fight” (1977) focuses primarily on the Cold War and the events that led up to a tremulous time in American history. Mee begins his article with the death of President Roosevelt and the beginning of Truman’s presidency in which, one could argue, the relationship between America and Russia became strained as Truman chewed Russian foreign minister Motov out because of what Russia was doing in Poland (1). Mee then goes on to state “most people, most of the time, want peace in the world, and they ...

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 ...

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), around 40 to 50 percent of marriages in the United States end up in divorce. Worse, subsequent marriages have higher rates for divorce (APA). There is no doubt that this process of separation has been common, not just in the United States, but in other Western cultures where it has been legalized. Personally, I know many married couples who choose to divorce, from my circle of friends and family, and I have seen how it impacted the lives of the couple’s children. This is why I find this topic ...

Objectives

This research aims at establishing the effects of using social media as a tool for marketing in small businesses. The research seeks to address the benefits associated with using social media to market a business. If there are no benefits then what are the limitations?

Methods of Research

In conducting the research, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of research will be used (Matthews and Ross, 2014). ...
