    The “Petition to the President” was an appeal to the government, but more importantly directed towards President Truman suggesting that there are other options versus a direct attack on Japan.

    By the early years of the Cold War, American foreign policy had to make some serious changes to adapt to the radically different political landscape of the post-World War II years. The Potsdam Conference of 1945 marked the beginning of tensions between U.S. and foreign interests, with the disagreement between Truman and Stalin over territory. The tensions were further exacerbated by the Truman Doctrine, which proclaimed that the United States would give aid to any country that wanted democracy and democratic values. The U.S.S.R. finally reacted to these tensions when the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in 1949 because Russia saw the resolution “an attack on one is an attack on all” as threatening to Russian interests, and decided…

    George Mead was a sociologist of the mid nineteen centuries, who developed on the theory of social self. He believed the self and society were inevitable and inseparable; as a result, he shared, “there can be no self apart from society;” the fact is, ‘the self’ is richly engrossed in societal proceedings or interactions and that the society cannot be functional without the attributing -factors that imbues meaning into it, which I share here as ‘the self’.
