ARTICLE CRITIQUE: BRAVE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS

War refers to an activity characterized by the persistence of violent conflict involving excess aggression, increased social disorder, and high incidences of mortality.

In May 1961, America was experiencing growing pains. The issue of racial segregation was increasingly thrown into the spotlight. Each individual had a different perspective on the issue based on different motivations, and a different degree to which they would defend this perspective. These perspectives are illustrated through four key players in the freedom rides, as examined in the PBS documentary Freedom Riders (2010). The freedom rides were the brainchild of Jim Farmer, the national director of the Committee of Racial Equality (CORE) at the time. His radical idea was a kind of public dare, to test constitutional rights, ...

Unless an equally fanatical force on the other side exists, the necessary division of labor between external sponsors and clients states in the prosecution of counterinsurgency simply cannot be met. The issue of insurgency is not unique to the United ...

How to Understand Key Business Processes of a Company

Law and Ethics in Intelligence

1. An element of the National Security Act of 1947 stated: ‘No United States intelligence information may be provided to the United Nations or any organisation affiliated with the United Nations.’ Briefly defend this position from an ethical position.

It is truly a judgment to pick a decade describing the warp and woof of the US history, though the 1920s represent a perfect bridgehead for such reflections. The 1920s, to an enormous extent, resemble our contemporary era, with that crucial decade being a precursor of contemporary superfluity (Miller, New World Coming 1). Likewise, much of what is regarded modern in reality took place in the 1920s, such as jazz and psychiatry (Miller, New World Coming 1). The recovery of the US economy in that times contributed heavily to its subsequent participation in the Second World War. Following the ...
