Essays on Korean War

Korea was bisected at the end of the Second World War, as a response to the differing political climates which each half of the peninsula espoused – North Korea preferred the communism of the Soviet Union, while South Korea was more in line with the policies and politics espoused by the west, the U.S. in particular. During the early fifties, hostilities between the two halves of the country reached breaking point, and the Korean War broke out, with the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea attempting to reunify the country by conquering South Korea, and the American army attempting to ...

Beginning after the First World War, and on into the later half of the 20th century, the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in a state of political, economic, and military tension known as the Cold War. These tensions, primarily divided between sentiments of eastern collectivist communism and western individualist capitalist system, had a profound impact on not only the policies of these governments, but also the operations of other nations as well. As other parts of the world were reorganized after the fallout of World War II, their systems became largely implanted with the desires of ...

Analysis of the Showtime Series Shameless

Analysis of the Showtime Series Shameless Over the decades, there have been a lot of television shows that attempted to reveal the inner workings of American working-class families. Shows like All in the Family, Good Times, Roseanne, Malcolm in the Middle and many others have portrayed ordinary people (and mostly ordinary families) and their struggles just to get by. Virtually all of them have done this using comedic elements. A few years ago, a new series appeared on Showtime called Shameless. At first glance, Shameless appears to have a good deal in common with all of these other sitcoms ...

I LIKE IKE BY DWIGHT EISENHOWER

The ad was written by one Irving Berlin and was produced by Roy Disney. Initially, the animation had appeared in one ...

Introduction and Thesis

Harry S. Truman is known as the 33rd President of the United States. He assumed the Presidency of the nation in April of 1945 when President Franklin Roosevelt died due to a stroke. He may not have desired to campaign and assume the Presidency of the United States, but his term in office ushered in a new age in the field of international relations, a new outlook on race relations in the country, and for the United States to assume a greater role in world politics as well.

Overview of the Presidency

Harry S. Truman had been in office as the Vice-President of ...

The end of World War II ushered in a new era in international policy. After the Axis powers were defeated, the world became polarized between two competing camps: the democratic capitalists, and the authoritarian communists. The first twenty years after the war were especially critical, as various US presidents sought to implement policies to contain the threat of the spreading red nations, which no world leader had seen before. Important policies such as the Truman Doctrine, New Look, and Flexible Response were created to protect American interests, though they at times differed from each other. Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and ...

Thesis

Toni Morrison's novel, Home, is an allegory that uses post-Korean war setting to paint a picture of the never-ending human conflicts like war, racism, trauma and manhood. Despite many years as the world’s superpower, America has not yet found a solution for world conflicts. Despite fighting in Korea, where he lost his homes, Frank Money has not yet learned how to be a man, and he thinks of Lotus, where he was grown, as a place worse than any battlefield. The novel is a reflection of a struggle that never ends, no matter how someone, how a country ...

Introduction

The surgical technology profession arose from an urgent need for help in the surgeries performed to the soldiers during the World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War. There was a great need for the trained medical staffs in the course of these wars. In particular, a large number of doctors as well as nurses were essentially needed during these wars to take care of the needs of the soldiers wounded in the battlegrounds. The extreme casualties as a result of the wars placed the nurses in great demand. It is crucial to mention ...

Geopolitics is simply the study of geographical position in relation to politics both internally and internationally. Geopolitical threats are, therefore, factors that can hinder the cordial livelihood of communities in the same geographic area and with different political agendas. This paper will focus on the various levels of threats (tickers, slow tickers and talkers) in the nations selected for discussion. It will seek to justify their levels of threats according to their past and present political issues.

Tickers

The first ticker country to consider is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). From the very beginning, North Korea started ...

1. Since 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party won the Chinese Civil War, China has undergone many social and economic changes, for both ideological and practical reasons. When the communist party came to power, China had just ended a civil war, which had widespread negative effects on the economy of China. This lead to a phase of recovery which lasted a few short years. Also, the goals of the ruling government had changed; in order to be a communist nation, China would have to rapidly industrialize. This caused the institution of several five-year plans, the first of which began ...

Quite often, America's entry into World War Two has been attributed to the Pearl Harbor attack by Japan in 1941. While that is the case, the background to Japan's attack is what drew America into the war with the Pearl Harbor attack being a mere pretext. From the onset of the war, America's policy was to maintain neutrality as envisaged by the new Neutrality Act of 1937 (Chambers, 100). By default, the Neutrality Act served to embolden Germany's quest for domination of Europe. That is because America's non-involvement made it easier for Germany to attack France and Britain. America's ...

Conflict amidst nations is a historical issue. Almost each and every country around the world has undergone either internal or external conflict. Some of the conflicts have been the most useful platforms for reconciliations. Meaningful reconciliatory talks have led to magnificent developments in the countries that had huge war problems. Equally, there are some other countries that have continued to stay behind because of the never ending wars. The consequences are deaths, tensions and poor cross boarder relations. The paper will take an in-depth study of the North and South Korean wars. The Korean wars are primarily the political, ...

The Ode to My Father movie review

Life of every human being can be seen as a constant pursuit for his goal or dream. For one person it is a pursuit for happiness and luck, for others pursuit of profits and success in work. The choice of the future prospects really depends on the way one used to establish the priority in his life. Hence, the people could be actually divided into careerists to whom their work will always take the first place and family men who will prefer to put their family in the forefront. The last ones are those loving, attentive creatures who are ...

Introduction

Nowadays world’s ‘multipolarity’ creates the great conglomerate of interests and world views, which are of great importance, when they arise on the international arena. According to the main principles of the UN, they are to be respected and balanced so as to achieve so-called sustainable development. Otherwise, the consequences could be rather negative for the rest of contemporary multipolar world. According to Mearsheimer, multipolarity is more likely to cause potential conflict dyads, that the previous bipolar world, when the conflicts could be generally caused by two great existing powers (Brown, 1998). That makes the study of the causes ...

Thesis

Many individuals argue that the nuclear weapons developed during the nuclear age are critical. They base the weapon’s importance on the fact that they can be used in deterring war between countries that are in conflict. However, critics argue that this is not the case. The Korean War is a proof that some of the assumptions of the nuclear age were wrong. 1. The View that only nuclear weapons could be used to deter war and bring justice to conflicting countries A. The Soviet leader called Joseph Sterling supported the North Korean army in 1950 for them to ...

Remember the coal miners ordered to war in Manchuria,

the land of the Rising Sun’s “East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere”; remember the factory workers who joined the resistance in Vladivostok, relocated at gunpoint by Stalin in ’37 to Kazakhstan.

Remember the “Comfort Corps” raped forty times a day,

the woman screaming who could not scream because she was on fire.

In Cholla-namdo we used to break the bones of corpses’ feet

so their souls would’t walk back from the other world, but would you walk back?

Once the guards forced us to watch a comrade being sinned alive.

Later they bludgeoned prisoners to death to save bullets. What won’t we do to each other? After liberation I saw a frenzy of reprisals against former collaborators. An old man—guilty or innocent?—lashed to a grille of barbed wire. ...

The Korean War began as a conflict between North and South Korea. The United States became involved in the war to assist South Korea. The boundaries of the war has been termed South to the Naktong..North to the Yalu. This is the area used to describe the boundaries of the Korean War where American troops fought. U.S. troops’ first battle in Korea occurred in the Naktong Bulge. A significant move made by American and U.N. troops in Korean occurred in the Inchon port. The Inchon landing was a terrible risk for the UN allies because Inchon port was behind ...

War historians consider it appropriate to refer to the Korean War as the ‘Unknown War’ or ‘Forgotten War’. This in essence due to that fact that up until the collapse of the USSR and subsequent declassification of Soviet documents on the war, the events leading to the conflict were largely shrouded in mystery. On the 25th of June, 1950, the North Korean military attacked South Korea and as such, varying motivations for the war led many countries to support either the North or South. This may shed more light as to the underlying causes of the war and more ...

Q&A

The most important thing about the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 was its emphasis on strategic surprise. The surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur demonstrated that armies and military forces need to be vigilant and prepared even on religious holidays, and never let up for a second lest their enemies take advantage of their weaknesses. The Israeli Army learned that, despite being ambushed in a surprise attack, they were still able to defeat their Arab enemies in a conventional war; however, greater planning and vigilance would have to be maintained to avoid these surprises again.

How did the international security environment change in the period between 1989 and 2001?

Abstract

The 1956 US Presidential election in was a similar contest to the former contest in the year 1952 and pitted Republican Dwight Eisenhower and Democrat’s Adlai Stevenson. Republican’s Dwight Eisenhower beat Stevenson in a similar manner to the year 1952. This happened despite the intense speculation in the winter of the previous year the incumbent Dwight Eisenhower would not run owing to his failing health. His failing health emerged as a campaign issue in the electioneering period and was used by the opponents to fight him. The year 1956 was also the year that television commercials were used a great deal ...

The United States, being a world power, has interests across the globe. These interests, along with the interests of their allies, put the U.S. in the position of safeguarding their concerns both far and near. These global interests include business partnerships and maintaining U.S. military presence in territories that require U.S. support. In effect, the U.S. has informally become the “policemen” of the world, adapting its foreign policy in order to protect those interests in the name of peace and democracy.

Introduction

Combat actions used by America in the Vietnam and Korean war took different positions based on the reasons of the war. The combat actions therefore were presented in different angles on each country but at times the combat actions were similar in fighting the enemies.

In comparison, the America’s combat action on the Vietnam and Korean wars were basically based on the political differences between the countries. The combat actions were therefore aimed at crushing the enemy on political grounds and conflicts. America targeted both Korea and Vietnam in a manner that they are weakened on political grounds. They ...

Balancing Executive and Legislature Power

In theory, the United States Constitution creates three co-equal branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judiciary. The Constitution places checks and balances on each of the three branches to ensure that no one branch gains too much power over the government or the political system. The executive and legislative branches interact with each other the most and so the checks and balances invoked most often between these branches. Although the executive and legislative are co-equal branches of government, throughout the nation’s history the relationship between the two branches has ebbed and flowed with the legislative branch and ...

In June 1950, troops from North Korea attacked South Korea, initiating the Korean War. The following three years would be ones of intense conflict for the entire world as each nation maintained support from other nations. South Korea was highly influenced by America, who was trying to maintain democracy while the North was dominated by Russians intent on advancing communism. The United Nations (UN), on the other hand, involved itself with Korea in 1947 to maintain peace and democracy in the area, particularly in regards to fair elections. In its first major test since its inception, the UN faced ...

Abstract

The rapid growth of Christianity in Asia, including South Korea, is one of crucial trends in the modern development of different branches of modern Christianity (Jenkins 7). For a state the growth of a new religion means changes in different spheres of life, such as politics, social sphere, education and world outlook of the population. The assignment is aimed at exploring the role of Christianization and Christianity in Korean politics, social life, education and people’s dimension. Complex consideration of these spheres’ development with respect to the emergence and growth of Christianity in Korea is necessary to single out the role ...

The 1970s was a decade of the public’s disappointment with the government and its policies, domestic and foreign, social and economic. It was the time of counterculture and various movements and protests that followed the example of the civil rights movement. The most important topics for the American people were the distrust for the government after the long-lasting Vietnam War that weakened not only the United States, whose economic situation was already devastating, but other countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia and their neighbors; the Watergate scandal that made Americans doubt that the county is in fact a democratic one, the state ...

"Americans never quit."

In such words could a legendary military commander such as General Douglas MacArthur be understood. Although US history is full of many courageous and outstanding military leaders, few have managed to achieve as much as General MacArthur. Further, although General MacArthur is best remembered for his Pacific commandership during World War II and particularly for his criticism of President Harry Trumna's handling of the Korean War, his rise to worldwide fame as an unrivalled military commander was a gradual process over years. Today, I am going to commemorate General Douglas MacArthur by highlighting major milestones in his military career. General ...

Korea is a small country that is located in Asia. It is a country surrounded by China in the west, Russia to the north and on the eastern side of it lies Japan. The peninsula of mountains of Korea has been separated or divided into two different countries after the end of the Korean War in 1953. The two countries that were formed after the Korean War are the People’s Republic of Korea or also known as the North Korea, and the Republic of Korea or known today as South Korea (Korean American History, no page).

- Introduction The Korean Peninsula can be considered as a region that can rival China and Japan in terms of its culture, tradition and history. Its geographic location makes it an ideal place for commerce and a clear access to the Chinese and Russian regions. However, the once powerful and united region had been tormented by constant conflict and strife that had successfully divided the Peninsula into two separate states in the Second World War. Studies have emphasized that there is more to the war that meets the eye and as the war continues to ravage the Peninsula, it is ...

South Korea is an East Asian nation located in the southern part of the Korea Peninsula. Prior to 1948, the South and North Korea were one nation under different occupying forces. The forces of the United States occupied the south while the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) occupied the north. However, in 1948 after the World War II, the nation of South Korea was established, and the two parts were partitioned. This partition caused unbalanced economic units. This was because North Korea controlled majority of the natural resources and heavy industries which were created during the time in ...

Koreans during their rich history, unfortunately, many times had to uphold their independence from the enemy invasions and friendly embrace of powerful neighbors. Korean War, which was the first open conflict between USSR and America, was a bloody conflict that for a long time concealed terrible crimes against humanity. We will raise the pages of the Korean War, see it preconditions and consequences. The paper’s main argument is to examine the historical elements of the book The Guest, written by Hwang Sok-yong, and to analyze the conditions of the Sinchon Massacre. We will discuss Hwang’s description of the deep ...

Introduction:

Since it became an independent country in 1953, North Korea or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has been subjected to heavy scrutiny by the international community. The isolated country has always been reported to pressure South Korea into breaking the détente, continue production of its nuclear weaponry and recently, declare war against the United States. While the international community wishes to influence North Korea’s actions, the fact the country is isolated and information is very scarce makes the issue difficult to resolve. If the international community acted haphazardly towards the issue, North Korea may take ...

This paper will focus on discussing one of the plays written by Tae Sok. Tae Sok is a popular playwright in Korea, mostly because of his orthodox and non-linear style of presenting a story, which is basically contrarian to the strategy that is often being implemented by Western playwrights. The focus of this paper will be on his play entitled Bicycle which he released and was published in 1983 . The story in Bicycle allegedly centered on one of the experiences Tae Sok had during the Korean War, particularly in his home village in Sochon. To be more specific, the plot and ...

The Birth of an American Empire, 1898 – 1902 The Mexican Governor Valeriano Weyler initiated the re-concentration policy to cede independence to United States. America watched the Cuban war from a bird’s eye view since they were opposed to the humanitarian issue while any disruption effort to avert the war would threaten American investments. The American nation proclaimed neutrality while it was hard to maintain the coastal patrols, and it was costly to prosecute offenders. According to the authors, President McKinley was pro-intervention since he considered concentrating ...

The thesis of my research relates to the perceptions of college campus students in regards to religious faiths and practices in South Korea. Following the collections and analysis of the data, I will compare and contrast the student’s perceptions with actual practices prevailing in South Korea. The research is conducted primarily to get a sense of student understanding of religion in South Korea. Religion, especially in South Korea, primarily comprises of the Buddhist faith despite the existence of a significant Christian population (Peterson and Philip, 11). The latter comprises of the Catholics and the Protestants from various denominations. Even ...

The Korean War took place between 1950 and 1953. After World War II the country was divided between the USA and the Soviet Union into a communistic North Korea and a capitalistic South Korea on the line of the 38th parallel. It was a war between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by China and the Soviet Union. Many scientists call the Korean War as "The Forgotten War," because it has been overshadowed by bloodier and vaster conflicts like the War of Vietnam, Desert Storm and the anniversary of World ...

Introduction

Japan encountered both good and bad experiences after the war between the year 1945 and 1952. This was the period when occupation officially ended and later, followed by chaos and destruction in Japan.

1.0 Introduction The battle of the Chosin reservoir is also known as Changjin, a campaign that was developed in the early times during the Korean War in 1950s. It was aimed at driving the United Nations out from the North Korea.

Abstract

Psychological Operations or PSYOP are tactics are used to convey selected propaganda and information to specific foreign audiences, especially an enemy front, to expedite the process of defeat of the enemy forces by destroying the will of the enemy to show resistance, undermining the credibility of enemy leadership, spurring civil unrest in enemy regions, persuading enemy forces to surrender, reducing the interference of civilians in military operations, opposing enemy propaganda and boosting up acceptance of friendly forces in occupied territory. The PSYOP propaganda is conveyed by a variety of mediums such as face-to-face communication, television, radio or loudspeaker, internet, leaflets, ...

Elvis Presley was one of the greatest musicians in rock 'n roll history. H - he revolutionized the way in which people enjoyed pop music, and became an all-American icon with untold wealth throughout the 60s and 70s. He was one of the catalysts whothat brought rock 'n' roll, primarily thought to be a black musical style, to wider acceptance by whites, and pushed boundaries of raciness and eroticism in American live musical performance. For such a living legend, one would expect his house to be incredible and lavish. - Graceland fits all of these definitions and more. Graceland, because of ...

The United States Force in Korea was created on 1st July in 1957. They include (EUSA) Eighth US Army, Special Operations Command Korea (SOCKOR), Marine Forces Korea (MARFORK), US Naval Forces Korea (CNFK) and US Air Forces Korea (Seventh Air Force). The USFK is responsible to train, organize and equip the US Forces in Korea so that they get ready for any war (Futrell, 78). During the Korean War between the North and South Korea, the United States decided to step in and provide security for South Korea. After the Korean War, United States Forces stayed in South Korea ...

The North Korea/South Korean conflict is a long-standing conflict dating back to the 1950 Korean War. It emanated from attempts by each of the countries to have the two countries unified under their administration. The war started when North Korea invaded South Korea and in many cases the former is usually seen as the aggressor. The Korean War (1950-1953) was a civil conflict involving Koreans on their own soil as they fought for control of the Korean Peninsula. The war was also part of the cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States in which South Korea received ...

As the head of North Korean intelligence apparatus, I am about to broadcast a 15 days nationwide action plan, designed precluding economic folding, to assess how the US will respond to the 15-day exercise. The action encompasses six areas of intelligence discipline, which are OSINT, GEOINT, MASINT, HUMINT, SIGNT and Cyber collection.

OSINT (Open Source Intelligence):

Publicly assessable information will be searched and analyzed to assess US response and actions taken. OSIT has been a popular source by the intelligence community. Owing to, globally, newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and additional middling will be scrutinized. In addition, cyber espionages will also be assessed. Teams will be ...

During cold war, both US and USSR wanted to surpass the other in technology and economy and there was a race of weapons, space satellites, nuclear tests and every other such performance which can show one’s superiority over the other. However, there was no direct combat between these two powers; rather there were indirect and proxy wars. They both were supported by their nationalist allies; Soviet Union was supported by Asians which include the Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact countries and US was supported by Europeans. Hence it can be rightly argued that it is nationalism that is the ...

1. Using North Korea and China as examples, why do some leaders construct a personality cult around their rule? What is the downside of the personality cults in government? Personality cult is a term used to refer to the accumulation of all power in one leader within an autocratic state and the near veneration of the leader in government propaganda. With this cult, the leader in power is launded for being courageous, possessing immense wisdom and other extraordinary features.

The Japan’s ‘Economic Miracle’ refers to the postwar period in which Japan rose from a war torn nation to the world’s second biggest economy. This transition period covers between 1950s and 1970s. However, this high economic growth reached its maximum in the 1960s. The origin of this tremendous economic flourish can be trace from the country’s positive and hard working population, good governance, strategic location and the Korean War effect. The governments great input into this economic revival propelled the economic miracles witnessed in Japan. The government policy supported industrial growth by expanding business expansion as ...

The Cold War was an era of rapid change the world over. The Soviet Union emerged from World War II victorious but weakened by war, needing to find a new path of industrialization and to maintain control of the myriad of satellite states it had collected as spoils; the United States emerged as the leading Western power, largely unaffected by the war, which was not fought on their own territory, and largely complacent with its position at first. Europe aligned itself between the capitalist and communist powers, and became divided by what Winston Churchill famously termed the “Iron Curtain”. The ...

Positive Psychology

Donald O. Clifton, a pioneer in positive psychology, and his grandson, Tom Rath, developed the "bucket" and "dipper" theory of happy emotions based on Clifton's research and those of others. Using the metaphor of a bucket and dipper, the authors purport that our sense of well-being is determined by every interaction, which either fills our bucket or drains it. Their main claim is that when using positive psychology in everyday interactions, anyone can experience a happier life – it’s a matter of choice. Whether a co-worker, spouse, child, friend, student, acquaintance or even a stranger, all can benefit – including ourselves when applying this principle. ...

Constitutional rights have always been regarded supreme to other rights and, therefore, prima facie would take preference in case of any conflict with any other rights. However, as the world develops there have been proliferations of other conditions and needs that are essential and should be protected to ensure tranquility in the society. This means that despite civil rights being created to grant citizens exclusive rights to enjoy their free will in response to the conditions at that time; the law and the supreme court have in some cases found it necessary to curtail these rights in order serve ...

Introduction

Ever since the end of World War II in 1948, there have been eleven recessions in the United States. Although the unemployment rate in the U.S. fell to the lowest 4.6% in November 1997, but ever since then, there have been secular increases in the country’s unemployment rates. Over the years, a variety of methods have been employed by the federal government, such as federal spending and tax cuts, to raise the employment rate and turn around recessions. Since the beginning of the U.S. economic structure, unemployment has been a problem throughout the country, even though the United States is ...

1. In essence, I believe that abortion should be an issue left up to the mother, and that it an acceptable practice if it is needed. In a perfect world, abortions would not be necessary - every pregnancy that would occur would yield a life that could be given a good life and be loved by parents who are ready and capable of taking care of them. However, this is not a perfect world, and pregnancies happen every day for less-than-ideal reasons: rape, incest, unplanned pregnancies despite initiatives to use birth control methods. Furthermore, there are complications in pregnancy that can affect the ...

Introduction

There are still many myths and mysteries that remain undiscovered despite the time that has passed since World War II ended. World War II is considered as the deadliest and most devastating human conflict ever recorded. The cumulative number of casualties was over a hundred million. It was an event of total war between some of the world’s leaders in terms of economic and military capabilities such as the United States of American, France, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union which was during that time headed by the Russian Empire, China, Poland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, ...

Baldwin’s Go Tell it on the Mountain, and Morrison’s Home are two Interesting to read literatures. Each book brings its own uniqueness to the table. Indeed, in both books, there is a brilliant course in regards to exploring their examinations of race, family, and religion. It is obvious that Baldwin is clearly the frankest of the two (however not essentially the most prevailing for that). However, America’s most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison lengthens her philosophical point of view on our history with his story of redemption. Baldwin's first main masterpiece, a story that has founded itself ...

Arguably, war and philosophy tend to always appear a little common. As a matter of fact, scholars assert that philosophy is a field that defines and establishes the rationality and justice for being part of a war and that it attempts to set norms and rules on how wars in most cases must be conducted. One of the philosophical theories that try to justify the essence of going to war is the Just War Theory. Certainly, the scheme of a Just War is to define and establish ethical and moral foundation for human destructive events and activities. In addition, just war principles tend to ...
