    Roger Daniels, in his novel, “Not Like Us: Immigrants and Minorities in America”, highlights the terrible conditions and undertakings immigrants and minorities had to face through early to modern America. He presents his argument through different people, starting with the Chinese and Chinese Exclusion Act during the industrial era and going on into detail with the treatment Native Americans, African Americans, and other minorities throughout time. He states in his thesis that he simply wishes not to “negate or minimize other aspects of that turbulent and dramatic period.”, but instead to emphasize the side of history that is usually glossed over by historians. He does successfully in context highlight the true reality minorities and immigrants faced throughout this specific time period, and while he does have a compelling argument and evidence to back it up, there are some minor critiques in an otherwise beautifully constructed novel.…

This movie was an eye opener for me, as before watching this film I was oblivious to many of the facts that were spread throughout the film. When the film began to talk about how the presidential candidates need to receive the Latino vote in order to win presidency, I was a little weary on that fact.…

    Why some cultures are being Americanized? Some people may think that American culture is forcing itself on their cultures or local cultures. The truth is, these cultures are allowing Americanization to take place in their countries because they want to, and they are accepting this idea. For example, in Kuwait people started to wear jeans since the seventies and in every year there is a new jeans style. My mother once told me that when she and her friends started to wear jeans they had the “Flare” style and it was the fashion at that time.…

While the United States scaled back its foreign assistance, states began to fail, and radical groups took haven if these areas. Failed states continued to rise as the United States developed its technologies, energy developments, and resource independence.1…

    He highlights the historical events of world war one and two and reinforces the violent action America took in order to ‘rise to power’ and remain most powerful. These actions included the dismantling and defeat of arising hegemons which could be recognized as majestic Germany between years 1900-1918, the great japan between 1931 to 1945, twelve rising years for Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945 and lastly the soviet union during the cold war period of 1945 to 1989 (Mearsheimer, 2006). This further portrays the idea that as Americas rise to power was not peaceful, so too will China’s be absent of peace as well.

Moreover, it can be seen through America’s actions during the old war that challenges to her power was going to aspire violence.…

    The global issue raised in this article is whether or not offshore balancing can be used in today’s world and be an effective practice that the UNited States should readopt. The practice of offshore balancing is a strategic international relation where a great power uses a favorable country to check the rise in power in a non favorable hostile country. Mearsheimer states that “offshore balancing, the United States would calibrate its military posture according to the distribution of power in the three key regions. If there is no potential hegemon in sight in Europe, Northeast Asia, or the Gulf then there is no reason to deploy ground or air forces there and little need for a large military establishment at home” which shows how offshore balancing…
