- 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. ...

- United State Interest in Afghanistan

The Afghanistan war was conducted by the American soldiers in a bid to stamp out the terrorist group of al Qaeda. The group enjoyed support by the extremist leadership of the Taliban within Afghanistan. The first few years of the war provided success with the military group scattering and some of the members moving to the mountainous regions.

The presidential address showed that the group was regrouping which would be a problem to the homeland security (Military, P.3). The regrouping members of the terrorist group have been blamed for causing insecurity in Pakistan ...

As a military veteran, I know there’s a lot of change going on in the world. People all over are seeking answers and time and again, the United States Army steps in to lend a hand. While working in the military, I learned I can make a real change, not just in the lives overseas, but in the lives of those in our country. The tools my training has provided me are not enough; I need a better education, a degree, and ultimately a job that will open up another side of the military to me.

I am ...

Posse Comitatus is a Latin term that translates to ‘Power of the County’ in reference to the period in time when sheriffs could recruit able-bodied males above 15 years of age to help keep public order. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 was initially enacted to minimize the influence of federal troops on domestic affairs as well as prevent the possibility of having the military under civilian control. Prior to the enactment of the Act, the use of federal troops to maintain order in the various States was an accepted feature for example, the federal troops were used to ...

Confidentiality is of great importance both in the civilian and military life. This is especially so when it comes to treatment. Some patients require that the psychotherapists should keep their information a secret due to the consequences of releasing the information. On the other hand, confidentiality in the military service is necessary and the officers are not supposed to reveal any confidential information that may affect the activities of the military. The military service believes that all their activities should be kept secret. However, this is sometimes dangerous to the officers. This research paper will evaluate the differences between ...

The 9/11 tragedy is one of the fiercest terrorist attacks on USA. We can call it a terrorist attack because it was planned and executed by the terrorists of Al Qaeda (CBC News, 2004). Most would not deny that 9/11 was a typical act of terrorism; some believe that it was a war in the name of religion. A group of Islamist terrorists hijacked air planes and crashed those into the twin towers of World Trade Centre and the building of Pentagon in US, killing more than 3000 people (Inside 9/11, 2005). Noam Chomsky, the renowned ...

Introduction

In the military, effective communication forms an integral part. Military leaders are problem solvers, strategy layers, managers, organizers and key influencers .All these activities can only proceed effectively if there is effective communication between different ranks within the forces. Success in military largely depends on ability to think critically and express your intentions and ideas effectively. Both written and verbal communication in the military plays a major role. Inability to effectively communicate and mis interpretation have historically cost the military. For instance, during the civil war, it is believed that Gettysburg victory depended on how the juniors decoded General ...

Methods used to exempt classified, terrorism-related information from disclosure In Criminal prosecutions

Owing to the sensitive nature of terror related information the disclosure thereof is highly restricted. In determining which information to disclose or the extent of such disclosure, a balance is struck between the constitutional right to access to information and the need to restrict the access to information that may compromise national security. This is especially so with terror related information the disclosure of which might have far reaching consequences to the state. The government thus relies on several mechanisms to avoid disclosing such information.

One approach has been the trial of terror suspects through a specialized system. This ...

Calloway, C. (1995). 'How to tell a true war story': Metafiction in The things they carried. Critique 36(4): 249.

In this article, O'Brien's work is examined as a piece of metafiction; the style and structure of the work frames the stories into epistemological tools with which to view the Vietnam war, life in America, gender issues and more through the lens of different viewpoints. The amount of autobiography found in many of the stories creates a metafictional link between O'Brien's experiences and the contents of these stories. O'Brien also notes unique ways to involve the reader in ...

International Relations and Security 1. What is your idea or theory of international relations and how does this unit change or complement it?

My international relations theory is realism. I believe that the world lacks a global police. In this regard, the world is anarchic because it lacks a central authority that is bestowed with the responsibility of regulating and monitoring the actions of nation-states. One thing that is worth noting is that nation states did resources to survive (Patrikarakos 149). However, the lack of a global central authority gives nations the option of pursuing resources in the way ...

In addition to this, the department is also tasked to ensure that military action is done effectively and efficiently to ensure the security of the nation and all its national interest. Finally, ...

Leadership theories have evolved as human behavior practitioners and scholars continue to examine different facets that influence and affect this intriguing concept. In the concepts of leadership, excerpts from the book of Clark (2005) have emphasized that “good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience” (Concepts of Leadership , 2012, par. 2). As such, through appropriate theoretical framework on leadership theories and with application of these concepts in actual work settings, leaders ...

Introduction

Cross-cultural decision making skills have been recognized to be increasingly vital to military and defense operations (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). The day-to-day operations of international military forces, in their interaction with different cultures as they work overseas, require intercultural competence to make decisions that are both appropriate and culturally sensitive (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). Cross cultural competency (3C) is accomplished through three unique steps: Cultural self-awareness, suspension of judgments and biases, and the development of skills that fit within domains of a new culture (Selmeski, 2009). Already, educational measures are being implemented by military colleges to promote 3C in military ...

Extreme jobs are jobs that require more than fifty hours a week to do. They are quickly becoming more popular. I feel that I will at least one time in my life work an extreme job, as this type of phenomenon is rising and affecting almost all industries (Military.com 2012). With so many industries starting to have workers, both white collar and blue collar, work over fifty hours a week, I would not be surprised if I were to work at least one, if not two, extreme jobs during my lifetime because it will not matter what I choose ...

I grew up wanting to be a surgeon. As I have gotten older, my experiences have pushed me to change my path many times. Though I am most of the way through an engineering degree, I am afraid that a career as an engineer would leave me in a cold, broom-closet office, cramming numbers for a customer or boss. I decided that I have a passion for helping people, especially those I am close to in my community and in the Guard. The IPAP opportunity allows me to pursue a long lost dream, provide a better quality of life ...

For a long time in the American history, political freedom and peoples’ wants have been in constant conflict. Among the first American political parties include the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists. These two political parties were in opposition to each other’s ideologies. Both of them had different policies and ways of governing the people. Whereas the Federalists were preferential to a central government that was strong: with the capacity to take control over the trading activities, make agreements, collect taxes, and declare war, the Democratic-Republicans tried to regulate the national government responsibilities, giving preferentiality to local control. This paper ...

Chinese martial arts are traditional sports that have developed over a long period of time. The unique features of these arts as suggested by Taoism are conquering the hard with the mild, bigger force by the smaller one and turn slow speed into a faster one. People from ancient china discovered some very useful techniques to attack and self defence as punching and kicking even in exceedingly antagonistic situations. In order of exercising these techniques they were also aware of dealing with the weapons bare handedly which could have been used against them. The Chinese martial arts emerged as ...

Over the course of this process of creating, revising and specifying my research topic, I have discovered a great many things about myself and the process of research design. When I embarked on this mission to study the effects of new interventions in the defense language courses being conducted for military personnel, I first thought I would combine quantitative with qualitative methods of data collection and analysis to create a mixed methods approach. However, as I continued in my research, I realized I was far more concerned with the effect of the interventions in the DLIC on the students ...

The United States (U.S) involvement in the Second World War had profound impact on the political, social as well as the economic sectors (Bowles, 2011). Notable though was the impact the war had on the technological developments that ensued in the course of the war as well as after the war ended.

The U.S was drawn into the war after the Japanese without warning launched a surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This was the direct cause that drew the U.S into the war. The U.S had initially decided to remain neutral following the great ...

The reason I find this particular type of research (second language acquisition, particularly of Arabic) appealing is my fascination with intercultural studies and the difficulty of defense language learning. Because Arabic is such a uniquely difficult language for an English speaker, due to their dramatic structural differences, finding new and better ways to learn it is vitally important.

I know many people in the military; as a result, I have several preconceptions toward military and American attitudes toward Arabic as a language. Often, cultural attitudes toward Arabs and the like are relatively negative; the aggression and violence bred by military service, combined ...

These four dynasties which succeeded each other in controlling the area of central China, each made significant but slightly different contributions to Chinese unification and culture. The Shang dynasty oversaw significant advances in technology. Especially in the areas of bronze working and pottery. Various musical instruments were invented in this period and advances in astronomy led to significant observations of Mars and passing comets. The Shang dynasty was always under threat from all sides, and, although it aggressively and successfully defended its territory, it could not extend it authority over neighbouring rebellious tribes such as the \fang in the ...

Threats to validity of a research design can lead the results of said research to be thrown into doubt. Both external and internal validity, in addition to construct validity, are factors that need to be considered when forming a research design. In this paper, the various threats to validity are compared and contrasted, and applied to my current research design involving second language interventions for teaching Arabic to military officers.

External validity involves the ability to link the current research in the sample to outside settings and situations. Threats to external validity include inferences that are wrongly inferred from ...

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was signed in April 4, 1949. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance, which has its headquarters at Brussels, Belgium, and it is based on the North Atlantic treaty or agreement. The organization has a collective defense system where member countries mutually agree on the defense mechanism in response to the external attacks (Andreas et al 76) The presence of NATO in Afghanistan has been beneficial to the Middle East though some people argue that it has increased conflicts and misunderstanding than before. The NATO ongoing operation in Afghanistan and Iraq has enhanced strategic ...

After the end of the World War II, tensions developed between the two biggest nations of the world. The United States and the Soviet Union was involved in the most intense rivalry ever documented. This rivalry between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. would continue for the next twenty years after this war. The war was based on suspicions, sharp tensions and several global events that almost brought these two superpowers to war. These global events included the Cuban Missile Crisis, Hungary, Vietnam wars, and the Berlin Wall among others. The whole world was in fear as they could not imagine ...

3.3 AIRPORTS/FACILITIES 3.3.1 Hangars Considering the moderate number of annual enplanements fit for a regional airport, Lafayette Regional Airport features relatively fewer aircrafts compared to international airports, henceforth requiring fewer hangars for aircrafts. Nevertheless, construction of hangars must stand as a priority measure for improving the security of aircrafts inside Lafayette Regional Airport. Securing aircrafts inside hangars is a major concern of Lafayette Regional Airport, particularly with regard to maintaining the number of annual enplanements. Any untoward damage to any aircraft inside Lafayette Regional Airport caused by the lack of proper hangars may affect annual enplanements. Fully equipping hangars ...

The United States government bears almost complete responsibility for the Massacre at El Mozote, as the U.S. President, Congress, and military encouraged the policies that led to the massacre, trained and armed the soldiers responsible, and covered it up. Apparently, the government of the United States played a key role in the massacre since its military trained the Atlactl Battalion, a unit of the Salvadorian armed forces, in order to combat the Salvadorian guerilla. The Atlactl Battalion was an elite unit and the government of the United States was extremely proud of having taken part in its creation. Therefore, ...

As a member of the Salt Lake City- Emergency Operations Center (SLC-EOC), I have always thought of ways of improving the operations of my department that can lead to rapid and timely response to emergency situations within the state of Utah. In my early days, in the program, I wanted to know why emergency situations in areas within the state could spiral out of control despite strong presence of both state and federal emergency personnel available. Within the state of Utah, for example, government employees charged with defense and safety of the citizenry are available in large numbers. There ...

The Theme of Captain America

Captain America revolves around the events of World War II and the emergence of a super-hero who is later assigned with the heavy responsibility of saving the world. Steve Rogers, the super hero, does not, however, gain his superiority and abilities under normal circumstances, but rather he is the subject of a scientific experiment to create super soldiers. Across Europe, the Nazi forces are anxiously seeking to enhance its power through the discovery of better weapons and energy believed to be hidden within a castle in Norway in the form of Tesseract. The extreme enmity and fear between the ...

The Reduction of Forces in the US Army

Killo Gibson Excelsior College - Introduction The case study of organization behavior that attracted me to investigate on is the “Reduction of Forces in the US Army”. The problem statement I want to specify is that the financial cost of US army has upsurged. The managerial issues are primarily being identified as the cause of this situation. While we want to cut off the military budget, we cannot ignore that the army is a cornerstone of one country that cannot be bargained. Therefore, it comes to strategically analyze the organizational problems in its leadership style, culture, communication and organizational ...

Only a handful of total wars have been fought in the past, the most notable among them being the World War I, World War II, the Civil War in America, the conflict between Iran and the United States, among others since the cost, both for the loser and the victor, is too high. Not only is there a considerable loss of resources, even complete depletion, but the well-being and security of the citizens also come under question. Most of the total wars have been fought before the Great War, but recent events on the global arena have increased the ...

Introduction

In this light, the official departure of American troops from Iraq, and the cessation of active US participation in keeping the ...

Abstract

The strong abilities of Romans to manipulate their physical environment via the development and use of strong military forces has led them to acquire several tracts of land across Europe, with its end as the Roman Empire having become memorable in scholarly works due to its sheer expanse. The magnanimity of the Roman Empire is perhaps best measured by the largeness of its territorial acquisitions. This study finds that the strong military forces of Rome has enabled it to two more consequential forms of physical manipulation – the slaughter of many people supporting Roman rivals and the systemic acquisition of ...

Introduction

Being a brigadier general, a lot of interest surrounded his case. People were curious on how the court would handle a case against the former U.S commander in Afghanistan. He was facing charges of sodomy, adultery; general social misconduct to mention the least. Jeffrey Sinclair was required (by the court) to pay $20,000 and an additional $4,157 as restitution fee. All this happened amidst constant concerns being raised by the public on how well (or otherwise) the military performs in as far as addressing harassment targeting women and sex crimes are concerned (Zoroya, 2014).

These dimensions range from analysis of the success met, to the economic costs incurred, the loss of human life on civilian front, and also the military casualties suffered. Over fifty thousand troops were originally stationed in Afghanistan and with time they have seen phase wise withdraw. ...

The question could ever war be justified still possesses the minds of contemporary scholars and philosophers, as it is still one of the most controversial questions nowadays. The decision of starting a war has always been one of the most difficult for politics not mentioning the evident reasons for it. A useful guidance for all the people that will be affected by war has always been provided by the just war theory; however, it is too subjective for modern society. Just war theory is the result of thoughts and ideas developed by various philosophers through all the history of ...

The Challenges Faced by Military, Naval Support Transportation and Flow of Support During the Past Wars.

Lack of Navel Vessels that were Fast The Navy is a key branch of the military. This arm of the military specializes in water combat, and it is essential for all nations across the globe to have a well trained and equipped naval force. This is because it serves to compliment the efforts of all the other branches of the military (Creveld 2004, p. 12). In fact, a well equipped naval force facilitates the putting up of a formidable fight when the need arises. Over the years, countries have engaged in a broad range of naval warfare. As a ...
