Through a five-part study guiding the reader through different eras of remembrance, Wiener gives detailed accounts of monuments, memorials, and museums dedicated to the official memory of the Cold War. Conservative thought dominated for much of the book. Through the decades, conservative politicians fought to disseminate their belief of the conflict as a triumph of good over evil and the equation of the defeat of totalitarianism with the defeat of fascism in World War II. Wiener’s travels on the surface are simply a road trip through time and space visiting different sites which remember the conflict in varying…

    The Iraqi prison twenty miles away from Baghdad Abu Ghraib is now infamous for maltreatment. It is unknown how many people the prison held. The vast majority of prisoners were civilians picked up by the military at traffic stops. They were undocumented in the prison or placed under an ambiguous category of "common criminals" or those suspected of "crimes against the coalition". Most were not meant to be in Abu Ghraib, but since many prisoners were undocumented, this went overlooked as did the abuse against them.…

    The book, The Testing, by Joelle Charbonneau, connects another impact -- the impact of testing on social inequity. “While The United Commonwealth and its issues are fictional, there are a great number of things about the world that do reflect our current society, especially in regards to our current education system. In the last fifteen years, our educational system has become very dependent on high stakes testing.” (Anna Dalin, 1). In this book, the University only accepts the best students to attend, but the only way you can be accepted is if you succeed in tests at their school, and at their Testing facilities.…

    Some of the psychological principles Cialdini introduces were apparent in the planning and execution of Operation Mincemeat. There are three that come to mind right off the back, such as commitment and consistency, liking, and authority. Other weapons of influence might have leverage, but those three stand out the most. According to Cialdini, commitment and consistency is when others make a small request that pave the way to compliance with larger subsequent requests. On the other hand, liking is engaging in a dialogue or transaction with those that we like or resemble what we like or carry likable qualities.…

    There are street cameras everywhere, watching the sidewalks, the cars on the road, and appear at every entrance and exit on public property. We are constantly being observed no matter where go, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. With the recent terrorists’ attacks and threats, our society should feel protected by the cameras, knowing that if someone attempts to create chaos, it’ll be easier to capture them if they are caught on video. Even though this is form of protection, the government has been over zealous with what exactly they are looking for and taking advantage of the fact that they can watch citizens. The only difference between our government and BB is that people tend to get away with a lot more without causing alarm because our government isn’t as stringent.…

    Education and Sexuality: Different Processes of Liberation It is common practice to define a period in history by the experiences of the people living during that time. However, this presents an issue when those few experiences are generalized and expanded to represent an entire population during a given time period. When considering the two texts Loose Change: Three Women of the Sixties by Sara Davidson and Migrant Daughter: Coming of Age as a Mexican American Woman by Frances Esquibel Tywoniak and Mario T. García, this point is particularly pertinent. Although Fran from Migrant Daughter: Coming of Age as a Mexican American Woman and Susie from Loose Change: Three Women of the Sixties were both attending school at University of California…
