    The article Anti-intellectualism: We Hate the Smart Kids by Grant PenRad talks about how students in high school value the championship of a sport over the championship of academics. Penrod says, “The football players enjoyed the attentions of an enthralled school, complete with banners, assemblies, and even video announcements in their honor, a virtual barrage of praise and downright deification.

He talks about the different stereotype such as geeks are nerds and others.…

The entire intelligence community is led by the director of national intelligence. He is responsible for informing the president of the United States, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council for all matters that relate…

We first need to define what foreign policy and the cold war is in order to evaluate Mandelbaum and whether he thinks U.S. foreign policy has failed or not. He mentions that the years of 1991-2014 were very distinct from any previous period in American history and prior to this odd time period, the U.S foreign policy focused on the nation's security, rather than transforming other countries’ domestic arrangements. Foreign Policy or foreign affairs is explained as a government’s strategy in dealing with other nations to safeguard its national interests to achieve certain goals within its international relations(CITE).…
