One of the main influences of this conflict was the differences in ideologies, for both the Soviet Union and the United States “…claimed to be promoting freedom and social justice…and each offered its social system as a…

Mexico or Syria, nuclear attacks, and communism. Maybe we fear something a little closer, though equally valid, such as economic collapse or volatile elected officials. Yet all together closer is our police force and the growing justification for distrust between citizens and criminal task force. Compared to other nations, they have killed far more citizens. In England and Wales, there have been 55 fatal shootings in the last 24 years. Within the first 24 days of 2015, 59 people have been shot…

The negative appeal of the PSA is the oversimplified message because it ignores the females driving, getting help, and the consequences of the driver’s actions. Audiences are manipulated to accept that only young men make bad…

After the American Revolution, many countries faced difficult situations that would not have arisen had the colonies and Britain avoided a war. Due to the colonies’ rebellion, Britain and France fell even deeper into debt; the colonists’ actions produced lasting effects on other nations’ wellbeing. Sometimes countries benefited from it, but sometimes the revolution changed other countries in a cynical way. No matter how favorable or negative the influence, however, it seemed that “Gentlemen are…
