Essays on War

How, according to Michelle Alexander, has the American Supreme Court “eviscerated” the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures? What examples does she give? CH2 According to Alexander, the American Supreme Court has eviscerated the Fourth Amendment due to the adoption of spatiality in the war against drugs. Alexander reiterates the evisceration of the Fourth Amendment due to legal espionages and conspiracies in the war against drugs where the war is inclined on racial lines. For example, Alexander attributes this practice to the incidences of stop-and –frisk operations, especially in the poor communities. Other examples presented ...

WRITING SECURITY: UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY AND THE POLITICS OF IDENTITY-A BOOK REVIEW

Campbell, D. (1992) Writing security: United States foreign policy and the politics of identity. Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, pp. 1-269.

Introduction

In this book, the author, David Campbell addresses the issue of a political actor’s identity and its usefulness in understanding motives behind actions taken in the political arena. As such, the ‘other’ is a subjective reference which enables a better comprehension of self, as this allows for the description of elements which can be highlighted as foreign. Among the world’s political science scholars and more so, in the US, Campbell’s evaluation of the US’ ...

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. There are many concerns about the United States sharing intelligence information with the United Nations as a lot of the information is highly confidential. Other countries have failed to commit themselves to protecting the information that the United States contributes, which makes intelligence sharing highly problematic from an ethical perspective due to the sensitivity of the information. Instead, the United ...

Introduction

Institutions play a pivotal role in ascertaining the continuous development of a country particularly during the aftermath of a major catastrophe. Vietnam is an example of a country that despite the weak formal institution have managed to challenge the conventions of the popular economic theories in achieving growth. Furthermore, the undervaluation of the informal institutions has played an important role in the process of acquiring international debts and donations from foreign aid. In this discussion, the role of weak institutions in underdevelopment will be examined, highlighting Vietnam as an example. In addition, the role of foreign aid and international ...

Throughout its history America, like many other countries, has outlasted a number of wars and military conflicts, both internal and international. One of such conflicts was the War of 1812 between the United States and United Kingdom. It lasted two and a half years and ended only in 1815. In America the war of 1812 is known as the Second Independence War, an event that significantly improved national identity of citizens of the country. The aim of this work is to elucidate the main reasons of the war, its principal developments, results, and outcomes. In 1807, Great Britain prohibited ...

A half century ago, the terrorism and extremist forms of thought were not prevalent in certain sectors of Middle Eastern society as they are today. Up to the years between 1968 through 1979, Middle Eastern countries remained relatively benign with no outstanding threats of violent political Islam (Bar 127). The rise of international Islamic terrorism was born in the fragmentation of society brought on by the departure of colonialism. Economies had by this time been fundamentally disrupted. In major urban centers, oil contracts (particularly in the GCC) gave rise to rapid scales of development. Government systems were restructured. The ...

The First Gulf War, otherwise known as the Persian War, was an unfortunate event in the Middle East. Iraq was on the verge of achieving peace with Iran when Hussein invaded Kuwait, which was widely regarded as an act of aggression by neighboring countries and the world. Land, air, and naval forces came to the aid of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in an effort to contain the situation. Unfortunately, the results of the First Gulf War resonated for many years afterward. There were many countries involved in the First Gulf War, including but not limited to the Argentina, Bahrain, ...

Abstract

Over the years, the countries of the Arab world have struggled with economic backwardness and various socio-political issues. Activation and intensive development of the Arab world began about 50 years ago. After the Second World War, Middle Eastern countries began economic and political integration, which allowed them to achieve a higher level of progress and strengthen their position in the world. Many researchers argue that the development of the Arab countries and their integration with the West caused the development of terrorism. Only a few decades ago, such reality as terrorism did not exist, but in the last decade, ...

Abstract Webster’s American Dictionary is the second most popular book ever printed in English. Noah Webster (1758–1843) was born Connecticut and raised on a farm. He wrote. "The moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." Do you agree or disagree with Webster’s position that all the "miseries” of men are the result of neglecting ...

The Changing Role of Women

The 21st Century represents an era with a tremendous amount of rhetoric regarding persecution, and/ or myopic bigotry. The obvious irony is that the roughly 200 nations on Earth, roughly 905 of them have established constitutions or commitments to the rights and privileges of their citizens (Chafe & Chafe, 1991). Although established in ...

Countries like Germany and Japan wanted to pursue their ambition of politically dominating the sea and land, which resulted in the second world war that killed an estimated 60 million people besides destroying valuable land and other assets (“World War II History”). With the world experiencing a worst massacre of its kind, Hitler killing around 6 million innocent Jews, and Japan allying with Germany to kill innocent civilians and devastating the economy of the world, the bloody war needed to be put to an end at any cost. As Japan was planning to invade America, which was weakened by ...

If you could have a dinner with a figure from American history, who would you choose and why? What issues would you discuss? It goes without saying, that it would be a one-in-life experience to meet a significant figure in American history and ask questions that interest you. From my point of view, all people who made and make history are extremely interesting and worth paying attention to. Personally, if I had such a chance in my life, I would spend several hours in discussion with Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States and ...

Income Inequality

There is an ongoing debate whether richer people are becoming richer and poor people become poorer. Middle class does not take place in the society anymore. Living conditions have changed impressively in the most recent 50 years. Today, individuals live in families than was the situation in the 1940s. Thus, the Census Authority started gathering and reporting information on the salary conveyance of households, a more extensive unit of examination, starting in 1967. After some time, the significance of family unit information has expanded. Numerous Americans battle to make a decent living regardless of the fact that they have ...

The council of the slew of generals President Abraham Lincoln had to tread through, was not unlike dangerous waters which were constantly shifting amid the complexity of the Civil War. The events surrounding the Civil War era, the Lincoln presidency with its turmoil of revolving generals, and the hotly debated issue of slavery form the most contested episode in United States’ annals of history. Among the short string of military generals under the auspices of Abraham Lincoln include George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade. Whether or not people agree with Abraham Lincoln’s ...

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Italy, like other European countries, was in position of devastation. The defeating of fascism meant that the country required immediate reconstruction, and that was the main purpose of the new Italian government. The years 1945-1948 were the triumph of continuity. Such things as rhetoric and constitution were changed; however, most of the former institutes still remained untouched. The expected reconstruction faced some problems. In May 1945, the Italian partisans officially took control of the government in Rome. According to Duggan, the country faced three main domestic problems to resolve: ...

International Cooperation and Cyberterrorim

Introduction Terrorism is one of the dominant aspects on today’s international political agenda. Thus, the budget allocated by the United States of America to its anti-terror endeavors grossly exceed annual budgets of some East European and the majority of African and Asian countries. The powerful Western block launches missile strikes over the ISIS controlled territories in the Middle East; it applies unconventional interrogation techniques to the inmates in Guantanamo bay, and regularly issues reports about the destruction of another stronghold of terrorists, or about ‘neutralization’ of one of the chieftains (Podesta & Goyle, 2005). At the same time, there ...

Argumentative Essay

The American people have been proud of the U.S. Army for a long time, because it was able to protect them from the numerous international threats. Nowadays a large number of people are involved in the activity of the army. There are “1.1 million soldiers in the ranks and more than 400,000 civilians and contracted employees”. However there are critics that think that there is a very deep crisis in the civil-military relationship that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Particularly, the army has become strategically and militarily ineffective, and it is not neutral anymore. In ...

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends. This type of music, as I learned is unique and invokes its own language, music, dance style and wardrobe styles respectively. Dancing hip-hop requires a closer integration of the body parts in order to invoke the right moves and meaning to the song. The dance complements the social and cultural background of the song, and as such the moves must perfectly complement the song and its historical artifacts. The first element of this dance involves popping, which includes a quick contraction ...

Question 1

The price mechanism allows the interaction of supply and demand forces to reach an equilibrium price that clears the market, such that there are no shortages or surpluses in a market. Prices transmit the consumers’ preferences to suppliers, signal excesses and shortages, and serve as a rationing mechanism. Flexible prices allows for the demand to adjust to the available supply and vice versa, allowing the price mechanism to determine the question of what, how and for whom to produce. The price signals the nature of the products and quantities that producers should produce. Produces/suppliers organize resources (including labor, technology ...

Market Structure and Elasticity

This essay will show why each market structure has different levels of elasticity. First, it will focus on the definition of elasticity and then it will answer the question of the reasons for the differences in elasticity. In economics, (price) elasticity is the level of responsiveness of supply or demand after the change of price (Mankiw, 2008). Hence, greater elasticity means higher quantity demanded or supplied goods or services after the price is decreased or increased respectively. In the majority of the cases, the researchers focus on the price elasticity of demand (Mankiw, 2008). Demand elasticity coefficient is calculated ...

The commonly believed beginning of the Israeli-Palestine conflict began with the founding of the Jewish nationalist movement known as Zionism in the late 1800 with the ultimate goal of establishing a Jewish nation in their what Jews considered their historic homeland, which included areas in present-day Palestine, which was then under the control of the Ottoman empire. Despite the fact that, their traditional homeland was under Ottoman rule, the early 1900s, so many Jews across the world who believed or followed Zionism or supported the establishment of a Jewish nation began to immigrate to Palestine. The local Zionist movement ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

The story of the USS Indianapolis was quite controversial during the World War II and after its end. Many things were covered-up, and they remain hidden nowadays. According to MacMillan Dictionary, cover-up is “an attempt to stop people from discovering the truth about something, especially a crime or a serious mistake.” Cover-up and lack of information was the reason why the captain of Indianapolis McVay was accused of the sinking and committed suicide (Stanton, 2001). War is one big mess, where information gets lost and misinterpreted all the time. It is extremely hard to keep things in order in ...

Its appearance dates back to the times of the creation of the pyramids in Ancient Egypt and the increased want in the transportation of supplies, materials, and goods for people and construction; ancient civil engineering principles and techniques formed the basis of the building norms people use nowadays. However, till the beginning of the 19th century professions of an engineer and an architect were just variations referring to the same person; there was no difference between civil engineering and architecture.

Through early American history each new action and document established an important precedent for the young nation. For example, the Declaration of Independence created the foundation of a new country by not only declaring independence, but also by establishing essential truths on which the nation would be based. Equally important is the Gettysburg Address, which not only motivated future action, but also summarized actions that preceded it. In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln advances the idea that difficult tasks, such as wars, should be pursued to their successful completion in order to honor the fallen, a philosophy which has ...

International Law and Global Inequality

The simple basic definition of international law is a group of rules that countries observe when interacting with each other. There are three distinct legal directions in the international law and they are: Public International Law that involves the relationship between sovereign nations and international legal entities as the International Court; Private International Law which deals with questions when jurisdictions are in conflict and Supranational Law like treaties, conventions, etc., that the states adopt in a voluntary and collective way. Logically, three more questions are outlined as: is the International law a real law like the national laws; where ...

In the process of globalization, each and every nation is associated with the rest of the world for some or other ways. Not a single field can be detached from globalization. Globalization is the dependence of nations on each other in every field. In the field of architecture, globalization supports to preserve the heritage sites, as the help for their preservation comes from all over the world. The world heritage sites and other historic and ancient architectural monuments and buildings do not belong to the respective nation, but they are treated as the great asset of the world. This ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine. In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

Investigative psychology roughly deals with the application of aspects of psychology and criminal research to investigate the behavior and mindsets of criminals. Primary to investigative psychology is the concept of profiling, in which a psychological sketch is made of a particular individual or group of individuals in order to find out how they think. The prevailing wisdom is that, provided you are able to create a sufficiently accurate psychological profile, you will best be able to anticipate their actions and find ways to stop them, prevent them from committing wrongs, or catch them after the fact. Historically, criminal investigation ...

The Armenian Genocide is one of the vigorously contested incidents of mass murder in the 20th Century.

Still archrivals, the USA and Russia have not only the different perception of the political world making for their incompatibility, but also quite different political cultures. Liberty-wise, the USA is an oasis of human rights and liberties while, in Russia, people are sometimes not even at liberty to leave the country for a holiday. The USA scores much higher on the index of equal money-earning and political opportunities. Russia tops the USA with regard to corruption and the lack of the rule of law, the latter being important in the west. Beyond that, the USA is a resident’ centric, ...

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 ...

Introduction

The Byzantine Empire was one of the longest reigning empires that lasted for 12 centuries from 332 to 1453 AD. In their prime, Byzantine Empire was the envy of the western world and Eastern kingdoms due to their strong economy, architecture, politics and military. But over time, problems started to creep into the Byzantine Empire most of which was based on their weakening economy and military. The contraction of the Byzantine Empire was due to the continuous array of religious enemies and internal decay that destroyed the empire. Between the Fourth Crusade of 1204 and the last Ottoman Turkish ...

In order to show how the possession of atomic weapons influences the strength of the United States in the world developments and the outcome of many processes in which the United States as a nuclear power state was taking part it is vital to dig a little bit deeper into the prehistory of the United States’ acquisition of the nuclear weapons. It is important in order to understand why it was significant for the state to acquire such weapon in the first place and what international developments led the state to the decision to. For the foreign policy of ...

Abstract The following pages will discuss the reasons for the great migration of the black population to the northern United States, discussing the reasons, risks involved, long-term social and cultural impacts, and the impact on different aspects of American life. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the majority of the African-American population in the United States continued to reside in the South through the early 1900s. The difficulty and the expense of travel left most of the population with little choice but to remain in the region that had just years before sought to keep them enslaved. ...

Foreign policy is the way the United States interacts with other nations. It sets standards and rules of interactions for businesses and individual citizens. The official goal of the United States foreign policy is to build and sustain a better world for both American and international people. Foreign policy also dictates the use of nuclear technology and the use of nuclear hardware. This paper discusses the United States’ foreign policy, non-governmental organizations and their association with terrorism.

Several historians have studied the development of cities over the Balkans during the Ottoman period. The explorations shed light on how the urban planning in the Balkans looked like and whether those cities could be labeled either Ottoman or a Balkan. However, the Balkan urbanism in the Ottoman era does need a much more profound approach. With the decline of the Cold War period, there was a revival of ethnic, national and linguistic identities in many parts of the world. The result was a new channel of expression within a group and community that led to a conflict of ...

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.

The Republic of Namibia was under German occupation since 1884 up until the termination of the World War 1, when it was passed under South Africa’s control, which imposed its apartheid policy.

One of the values in Beowulf is heroism. From the poem Beowulf, it is evident that a person who is involved in a battle for the sake of victory is considered a hero. A hero is considered noble especially if they offer themselves in battle to the extent of dying during such a battle. This is illustrated by the writing of Wrenn when he states that a Germanic hero is considered a tragic hero especially when they die during a battle (Gummere). Another value that is evident from the poem is that of kindness. This is illustrated when Beowulf ...

In September 1950, UN forces composed of three military forces from Japan and one from the US positioned in the port of Pusan to repel the advancing North Korean People’s Army. The UN forces under General McArthur successfully invaded Inchon on September 15 and retook Seoul in two weeks.

Hegel's philosophy is the culmination of the German philosophy development, which began from Kant. Hegel created a grandiose philosophical system, which covered the whole totality of theoretical knowledge at that time. This philosopher comprehended the state and the right as products of reasonable human activities, which were embodied in real public institutions. Hegel's political doctrine had a tremendous impact on the development of political and legal thought. In his teaching, Hegel considered the idea of the state and law, assuming the task of the science of law and the state not the development of ideas about proper and reasonable ...

JT It’s true that human rights violations persist in spite of stringent legal safeguards. However, extension of the IHRL beyond the state risks placing the responsibility on a number of parties that cannot be pinned down, and therefore making enforcement impossible. It helps to note that the problem has never been the lack of technical legal protections for human rights; rather, the practical difficulties of enforcing such protections. Legal mechanisms such as the R2P for instance, have been ineffective, in part because countries pursuing their own interests (and loss of appetite by countries such as the US to ...

Introduction

Tony Schwartz in Media: The Second God is right in saying that just like a God the media can influence the course of a conflict or war. He adds that the media can humiliate those who are proud, elevate the humble, and bring down a leader by focusing the minds of millions of individuals to a particular event. The concept of media imperialism is of key importance to many nations. Hence, it should be analyzed in detail. Media imperialism has introduced various risks, particularly in cultural integration. For a coherent understanding of the concept, this paper outlines and discusses ...

I. Introduction Since the formation of the state of Kosovo, there have been disputes about the legitimacy of the state—some do not recognize the international legitimacy of this state to the current day. Kosovo faces a number of issues that are inherited from its long history of conflict; one of the key problems faced by the country and the future leadership of the country is the problem of security. Because of the conflicted nature of the territory, Kosovo faces significant internal and external pressures (Alexander 14-19; Shaw and Štiks 91). The entire region is war-torn, and this conflict ...

How was the My Lai Massacre reported by the U.S. media? 1680 words

Plan of the investigation

How did the United States media represent the My Lai Massacre? What did the incident look like in the American newspapers? I have chosen this topic because the importance of the media during the Vietnam War (particularly the My Lai) cannot be underrated. The U.S. media influence Americans’ perception of the event, as the primary information was reversed and many details were never revealed. Throughout the world history, many countries did the same thing in order to avoid panic and unneeded criticism. In this particular case, ...

Interviewee’s experience as a patient

Illness can have a devastating effect on a patient in regards to the financial, social, spiritual and emotional sphere (Toombs, 2013). It is a complex phenomenon which can be described as a battlefield for patients since they are fighting for their dear life. This can be an overwhelming experience not only for the patient, but also for the family members, caregivers and to some extend religious leaders. As such, this experience can affect how patients live a normal life during and after treatment since they have to seek medical attention, be away from work, family and adapt a new ...
