Question: Does this representation create, reinforce or challenge stereotypes? Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Shonda Rhymes’ “Scandal” Throughout the history of television, women have been presented as passive and submissive, and have been constructed as sexual objects.

Shonda Rhymes’s “Scandal” fits in this trend, centering upon Olivia Pope, a unique character who challenges the stereotypes by presenting an empowered African American woman. However, Olivia is only one of a series of masculine ...

Introduction and Situation Description

Organizations, by nature, go through constant change. As we evolve, new information becomes available that, if implemented, can allow us to operate more efficiently and productively. Educational institutions are no exception to this general statement. Schools develop over time to take into account new ideas and theories that hopefully benefit all stakeholders involved. Not all change, of course, is good. The danger of refusing to change, however, far outweighs the consequences of remaining in mediocrity simply because of a fear of failure or a general unwillingness to accept an opposing point of view.

Abstract

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders. Critics in favor of America’s action opine that these incidents were actually moral projects undertaken by America in order to release the Iraqi civilians from the claustrophobic ambiance prevailing in the country because of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein.

Fourteen years after the Twin Towers terrorist attacks in New York City, questions linger about the wisdom of sending American troops to Iraq almost immediately afterward. Was the decision to go to war against Iraq justifiable, or has it proved to be a pointless, costly war with disastrous consequences? The incontrovertible evidence has shown that the Iraqi War fits the latter definition for three distinct reasons. It is my opinion that the American-led invasion of Iraq was a bad decision because it was unjustifiable to begin with, caused sectarian violence that has still not abated, and has been costly in terms ...

- There were a number of similarities between China under the Han and the Roman Empire. Why do you think that was so? Was it simply historical accident? Do those aspects of empire imply some sort of empire-building process common throughout the world? Why or why not?

China and Rome were both land empires, based mostly on agriculture, as were all other empires before the industrial revolution over the last 200 years. These two empires developed along similar lines even though they had no contact with each other, given the extremely slow communications and travel times of that era. They all seem to have had very similar caste systems, with slaves and peasants at the bottom, an aristocratic-military caste and an emperor or king at the apex (Adler and Pouwels, 2008, pp. 169-70). Both the Han and the Roman emperors also claimed to rule by divine ...

The problem which perhaps affected the United States most during the 25 year period cited was the war in the Gulf which showed that the US remained a belligerent nation and did not actually learn the lesson of the Vietnam War, a decision which perhaps would come back to haunt the nation in the future and which was certainly realized in the September 2001 attacks. The fact that the US entered Kuwait and affronted Iraqi dictator Sadam Hussein with full military might but did not close off the job by deposing the dictator was perhaps the biggest mistake in their foreign ...

In the 18 - 19th centuries, slavery was a common practice, exercised by the world’s powers (Girard 36). Haiti represented a significant slave source for France, which colonized the island and imposed its rule by force as early as 1625, up until 1804, when Haiti gained its independence after a severe bloodshed revolution (Reinhardt 251). After defeating the French colonizers in what is called the most successful slave revolt of all times, Haiti was drastically blocked and boycotted from an economic perspective, having no other option than to make a settlement with France in 1825 (Schuller 149; Farmer 127).

One of the major causes of discontent and rebellion appears to have been the settlement of the dispute with France, which had been negotiated in 1825 . Another important event in the history of Haiti is its relationship with the United States ...

It is possible to say that without complete considering of the cause of crime and deviance there is no discussion of crime and of the criminal justice.

There are plenty of explanations for crime, like individual psychological differences, genetic abnormalities, some social or mental issues that might cause people to commit crime.

The Arab Spring occurs as one of the widely discussed topics in history. This can be attributed to the fact that the Arab Spring evolved into a significant global event in history.

War in Iraq, is one of the controversial events in history of American wars. It takes two to tango, and this is the case of the war in Iraq.

Well, until the late 20th century and early 21st ...
