Did the United States act as an imperial power in the Philippines?

Imperialism

Imperialism is an act of extending dominion and power, through direct territorial acquisition or rather gaining economic and political control of other areas rather than your own. It often involves the use of power either in the form of military or subtle (Imperialism 101 2). Imperialism is considered morally reprehensive, and it is used in the international propaganda to deplore or dishonor foreign policy of a challenger. Historically this form of governance was employed in China, in western Asia and Mediterranean, in the unending empire successions (The ...

The US Constitution was born amidst the uncertainty and the instability that the Articles of Confederation could not correct. In crafting the set of “institutional arrangements of government” (Lowi et al 2015, p. 40), which was believed to result in the strengthening the union of the various states that the Articles were not able to do, the framers had to tread a delicate balance between state independence and federal government power. Their deliberation of the document was largely underpinned by lessons from past historic experiences that underscored the weaknesses of the Articles. In crafting the Constitution, there were several ...

Introduction

Jewellery has been in existence since the early humans began to become civilized. The human desire is to be adorned with precious metals and gems. This has been evident since the Neolithic and Palaeolithic eras. The early humans made jewellery that was formed from claws, bones, teeth and shells. This has been documented by archaeologists. The Egyptians, the Romans and the Greeks applied distinct methods for the creation of jewellery (Cartlidge 1985; Dorner & Turner 1985; Druff and Dormer 1995; Druitt 1986; Falk 1989; Game and Goring 1998; Gilhooley and Costin 1998; Grant 2005; Grant 2007; Hinks 1983; Hughes 1972; ...

Ti West’s 2009 horror film The House of the Devil is more than just a simple crackerjack Satanic-panic thriller about a scared housesitter – it is a deliberate throwback to the occult horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, where the media was beset by stories of Satanists terrorizing communities and performing untold acts in the name of dark forces. At its core, House of the Devil is a tremendous debut, a horror film that wears its influences on its sleeve while honoring what was so fascinating about the subgenre’s subject matter. Through stellar cinematography that honors the type of film it is ...

Film Studies – Authenticity

The fundamental aspect of any documentary film is to accurately portray the truth. The truth as in reality and not the way it is perceived by the documentary maker. This is a very powerful statement. Time and again we tend to see things the way that we want to see them and also portray them the way we understand – the normal human behaviour. The moot question is how authentic is ...

Abstract.

It seemed time or money could not help to company Driscoll. Company had insufficient funds to hire the company’s top ex-professional, Alessandra, and no time to create the coalescent team which loves work and is ready to follow the leader. As a result, the team ‘leader’ Kristen felt guilty, and the ‘manager’ Tim didn’t know how to answer the simple questions, sooner they reversed their roles. Still, Tim had the opportunity to improve by acting as a leader to complete the project on time.

Analysis of Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs, and Steel”

When reading about human history, there are patterns surrounding certain parts of the world, while other places don’t fit into these patterns; hunters and gatherers became farmers, spoken words became written language, villages became cities, etc. Most history books published in past decades contain a perspective that focuses on Europe when talking about the development of human societies. In the very same history books, it becomes obvious that the people of Europe and Asia were some of the first in the development of technology and their economy, but sometimes they were invaders and attacked others. This makes a person question ...

The Burden and Standards of Proof

It is now trite knowledge that no case, civil or criminal, can fully, rationally and satisfactorily be dispensed by the courts, tribunal or arbiters without some element of persuasion from both or all the parties involved. This duty or onus on a party to persuade the arbiter; be it a jury, a tribunal, committee or an arbitrator is referred in law as standards and burden of proof. It prompts a party to a dispute to, by way of evidence, prove or disprove a fact in issue. A ‘level of proof’ continuum refers, therefore, to a system used to determine who between or among parties to a dispute ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

The nation-state is one of the fundamental and important political entities for a coherent coexistence within a particular society (Rotberg, 1). The nation-state is a structured means through which important political/public good is delivered to the community. A nation-state is normally led by a government and should the legitimacy of such a government be put to question by the citizens, it is therefore shunned and efforts to keep the nation-state together eventually fail. In the past several nations have been considered failed states however most of these nations have been able to recover and develop a country. One of the nations that stand out as a ...

Modern Life

The release of The Sun Also Rises in 1926 heralded a new era in American literature. Ernest Hemingway parlayed a background in journalism and a talent for tight, compelling writing into a a style that made him one of the most unique stylists in the history of American letters. Hemingway worked closely with the poet Ezra Pound and F. Scott Fitzgerald in developing the modernist prose style that made The Sun Also Rises one of the 20th century’s most notable literary debuts. Critics have accused Hemingway of self-indulgence, even shallowness of vision. Yet he crafted a remarkably impactful method for conveying a deeper meaning through ...

In 1941, the influential critic and academic Oscar Cargill wrote what may be one of the most misleading analyses of The Sun Also Rises. While praising what he considered a remarkably symbiotic achievement in style and content, Cargill concluded that Hemingway’s initial entry into the literary milieu was limited in meaning and philosophical depth (Hays, 19). The Sun Also Rises was conceived as a modernistic contemplation of the post-war generation, yet many have criticized it as nihilistic; a self-indulgent, anti-intellectual response to the post-war generation and to the more elaborate style of writing that characterized the Gilded Age and the post-war ...

Abstract

This paper seeks to demonstrate the analytical process of determining insurance metrics by evaluating the effects or risks of location (country), type of industry and number of years on key financial metrics. This paper uses the Analysis of Variance approach to determine the effects of the above-mentioned variables on key financial metrics and identifies where these variables have an impact and where they do not. For simplicity, certain assumptions have been taken. These include the exclusion of the possible effect of sampling errors and the effects of other variables that have not been identified. In doing so, this paper ...
