Essays on Our Country

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

The United States of America has a storied and complex history. Because the beginnings of our nation transpired with rebellion, there is much controversy about when our nation actually became a nation. Many believe that it was the formal acknowledgement of our sovereignty by the nation that governed us, Great Britain. But the true answer is that our nation actually became a nation shortly thereafter, when the Articles of the Confederation were adopted and ratified by the colonies in 1777. The ratification of the Articles of the Confederation marked the first founding constitution of our country. Up until that ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Article Reviews

In the introduction of this article, the authors provide their definition of race and claim that other definitions explaining it as an essence or an illusion are not adequate.

Their argument and evidence presented provides a valid explanation of race and racism that is more applicable today than those explanations provided in the past. I also agree with the authors’ contention that race is created by a process of social and historical ...

Qualitative Research

Brief Description The interview was conducted among two people on the topic “Interpretation of the migration crisis”, which turned to be quite challenging due to the sensitiveness of the topic. First of all, it was problematic to find participants, as the majority thought that the answers may affect their social or professional life, even though I made it clear that the participation is anonymous. Secondly, one of the respondents refused to continue answering the questions in the middle of the interview without explaining the reasons. However, as this option was discussed before the interview, it did not affect the ...

Modern instances of racism are rather subtle and usually harder to completely analyze from what the victim recounts later. It ranges from a tinge of scorn from the clerk at the usual supermarket to the stench of serious human rights violation by the police. The concept that these acts of racism are isolated and does not signify any underlying pattern was vehemently upheld by many men and women of authority until recently. But as of today, they stand corrected. Even from a passive standpoint, after hearing from a number of such victims, we have come to accept that this ...

As the Constitution and the Bill of Rights provide concrete structure to who we are, President Washington’s Farewell Address provides counsel as to who we should be. The status of our country from fledging infant to world super power tests the limitations of the guidelines provided by Washington. His opinions regarding the role of political parties, the dangers of foreign alliances militarily, ...

When dealing with terrorism, we are battling a new sort of enemy. Our new enemy surely requires a new strategy to combat its weaknesses; however, with terrorism, the terrorist invariably has the upper hand because they exist on an entirely different plane than ever before. Thus, as policy drafters, it begs the question of how on earth do we search for these enemies that are lying in wait all over the globe? The answer thus far has been to use more technologies to attempt to track down these individuals. For example, the terrorists who attacked in 9/11 were in ...

Introduction

Border and Transportation Security Systems assume a critical part in the more extensive capacity of giving country security. The general country security exertion can be seen as a progression of concentric circles or screens, with the external screen being that of preventive endeavors propelled outside the nation — before terrorists or their weapons can achieve the nation. The next screen is prohibition endeavors at the fringe and in the transportation framework. The continuum of exercises then travels through dynamically littler circles finishing with crisis readiness and reaction. Congressional worry over country security started with wide gaged endeavors to take in ...
