The Rwandan crisis clearly outlined the UN’s ability to act during a crisis and stop it. General Dallaire describes the experience: “[We] watched as the devil took control of paradise on earth and fed on the blood of the people we were supposed to protect.” The United Nations member nations were…
Whether or Not America Should Make the Shift to Renewable Energy? The concept of a shining future fueled by an infinite cache of energy has existed for ages. Yet, in the current year of 2015, that concept is still far from being a reality. Many countries around the world are still highly dependent on fossil fuels in order to meet their daily needs. Why, in a time full of ever advancing technology, is this the case? Should America make the shift to renewable energy a priority? Opinions vary…
In source one, the speaker, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, is pointing out that the imperialism enforced on the Aboriginals of Canada in the past still negatively affects the native population in Canada today. As is shown when Smith says, “Imperialism frames the Indigenous experience. It is part of our story, our version of life today,” she portrays that imperialism has long term effects on a society as a whole, not only economically, but emotionally as well.

helped the companies in crisis. For the sake of brevity the author has chosen a few elements from each of the case studies, which reflect each of the steps within the eight step model. The Johnson & Johnson’s 1982 Tylenol recall is one of the most tremendous examples of effective crisis commutation and planning within the contemporary literature (Argenti, 2013). Johnson & Johnson’s swift, effective, morally conscious, and values driven response to the 1982 Tylenol poisoning crisis demonstrated…
William Nester, The age of Jackson and the Art Power 1815-1848. Dulles Virginia: Potomac Books, 1956. The age of Jackson although I felt as if it was a hard book to spot the main argument it was an overall good read and interesting.
