On the other hand, the international relations focus on the relationship between different countries, dealing with aspects such as war, trade, foreign aid and foreign policy. Licbbach and Zuckeman have also shed light to some of the basic structures and vocabularies that are applied in the comparative politics and in political ...

Summary of the article/introduction

Baudrillard mentions that postmodern simulacra and simulation are no longer a question of imitation but rather an analysis of how images of the real are substituting for the real. However, he does not suggest that the postmodern culture is fully artificial since the concept of artificiality still needs some sense of reality against which to recognize the deceit. To simulate refers to the pretence of having what one doesn’t have while the opposite (dissimulate) refers to the pretence of not having what one has. However, simulating is not pretending since it threatens the difference between reality and imagination ...

According to Milgram’s (1963) findings authorities have substantial power over individuals, and his findings can explain the nature of the holocaust as a consequence of enforced obedience. Blass (1999) argues that obedience rates have not declined since the original experiment, so any attempt to reproduce the experiment will probably result in similar findings. While moral convictions change over time, obedience remains consistent, so it is possible to conclude that people lose their moral convictions and personal decision-making abilities once they are exposed to pressure from the authorities. The experiment was repeated several times in different societies with different ...

I believe that Martin Luther King’s speeches are more convincing because his use of logic appeals to a wider audience. He also makes convincing arguments that appeal to the emotions and logic of everyone not only those that are religious. Malcolm X’s speeches also convince the audience effectively but use far more confusing logos and many more emotive words. Martin Luther King seems to be able to make arguments more succinctly. Malcolm X is a well known black preacher and activist and makes strong moral arguments in his speech. He has a vested interest in changing things ...

This makes my opinion on the most influencing and aspiring speaker from his speeches to be martin Luther King junior. Drawing some examples from various speeches, this man appears to have had his culture at heart. In one of the speeches, he gave a narration of killings in Alabama and Mississippi while the Africans are asked by the government to remain nonviolent. He moves further to accept that Africans were being used as lifeless beings only to be used by the whites as less human. On the aspect of aspiration to the people, this leader appears to be glued ...

He could also point out facts without fear of being intimidated neither by the society nor ...

Social Media has emerged rather recently, however over a few years of its existence it has penetrated numerous aspects of our lives. The speed and the scope of social media proliferation make it hard to analyse whether social media has a generally positive or negative impact, and publications in different media continuously debate on the real value of benefits that social media entails. One of such discussions is dedicated to the question on whether “Social Media is becoming the Most Powerful Force in Global Politics". Clay Shirky, an American writer and a specialist on social effects of Internet technologies, ...

- Quote what you take to be the author’s thesis (using proper citations), and explain it in your own words. (10 points) Here the author seems to like the idea of human exposition. He thinks that it is a good idea for exhibitions to be put up which demonstrate the costumes and ways of life of people from different cultures and different eras. The world exhibitions tend to increase the exchange value of commodities. These in turn create a framework in which the commodities’ intrinsic value is eclipsed. They open up a fantasy world that people enter into in ...

Is Subliminal Persuasion a Myth?

Subliminal persuasion is technique that is used to make an individual acknowledge something without the need of making an outward suggestion, or without making the individual realize the attempt to influence him or her. So is subliminal persuasion a myth? Yes it is, according to Simons & Jones (2011) who observes that many social psychologists conclude that subliminal persuasion is a myth.

In Michael Moore’s essay, “The Idiot Nation”, he contradicts the general assumption of the American population that every person needs to access free education, and that high school graduates are urged to continue to college and subsequently help the country reach the goal of becoming a smarter nation. According to Michael Moore, this whole assumption makes America become a nation full of idiots. He argues that most Americans spend much of their time in things that are of less importance compared to those that they should actually put sufficient interests. For instance, he uses the example that an ...

One strongly believes that Michael Moore asserts that there is something wrong with the American system of education, in terms of apparently producing graduates who lack a more comprehensive knowledge on diverse issues and concerns. Moore’s article is effective in terms of persuading the readers on the veracity of this statements through the provision of examples which are contemporary, known, and through the use of familiar celebrities, politicians, and famous personalities who allegedly fall under the category of appearing to be knowledgeable; yet evidently manifests or admits ignorance. He uses the different types of rhetorical appeal (through logos, ...

Jonathan Turley in the article ‘Polygamy laws expose our own hypocrisy’ outlines the controversy of polygamy laws in the United States. Although he also detests polygamy, he finds the laws covering the concept a bit contradictory to some religious beliefs as well as the initial statues like the first amendment which was passed to protect the American citizens. It is because of such reasons that the author thinks these laws only expose the hypocrisy of the American people. Most importantly, Turley makes a keen use of examples in his article to persuade the readers that his thoughts are in ...

In his article, Polygamy Laws Expose Our Own Hypocrisy, Jonathan Turley juxtaposes the contradictions within existing laws to make a strong case for decriminalizing polygamy. He points out that under the laws of the United States, individuals have the right to be involved in any type of consensual sex, with any number of partners. Men are charged with polygamy only if they legally marry more than one spouse. On the other hand, the Constitution also protects individuals’ rights to freedom of religion.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a skill that identifies and governs the emotions of an individual, or groups.

I do not see why it is not an acceptable solution to let such children dress as they want and play with whatever toys they want without making this contingent on a sex change process. It seems to me that this may be why there are more boys than girls with this problem: girls can get away with playing with "boy" toys and wearing "boy" clothes without it being anthologized. Why can’t Brandon simply be a boy who wants to wear dresses and have long hair? That doesn't make him any less a biological male. This seems to ...

Resilient societal affiliations separate from matrimony have dropped. The Victorian epoch, for instance, had a much grander importance on societal affiliations freestanding of matrimony. Overall, there was far a smaller amount of travesty, with numerous of our present-day passionate banalities deliberated on as immodest and theoretically disparaging (Coontz 2006). The societal facet of existence encompassed matrimony, but as a fragment of a virtually functionalist kind of prearrangement though a slight variance was present amongst the fondness one would display to a partner and the fondness to a cherished pal, mostly of a similar sex. Although loving relationships have debauched ...
