The Cold War was one of the most hostile era in history because both the Soviet Union and the United States failed to meet eye to eye. Although there were no actual conflict between the nations, the entire world was at a brink of a nuclear war. Both nations were actively trying to discover deadlier weapons to cause fear in the other as well as cause them to back down. The nuclear arms race provided some important information, but overall it was foolish because the intent was to cause…

Castro a primary goal. Castro was backed militarily and politically by the Soviet Union who sent Castro regular shipment of Soviet arms. On October 14, 1962, a U2 spy plane snapped a series of photos that showed evidence of Soviet mid-range nuclear ballistic missiles. The U.S responded with a blockade of ships termed a “quarantine”. Even though tensions came to an end with a secret deal made with Nikita Khrushchev, this showed the world how…

personality disorders, such as mood–swings and outraged behavior without thinking. Albert and his new found friend the firefighter both show good examples of outraged behaviors at dinner with the tall Africans family and meeting at work, when he goes ballistic. This leads to him wanting to cancel his services with the existential detectives. He makes a decision to end their services out of outrage and little thought. Which in my opinion is a great illustration of the abnormal borderlines…

There was not a single incident of sabotage, spying, or treason, but the American government did this to keep the security threat as low as they possibly could. Finally, in December of 1944, the United States Supreme Court declared that the exclusion of a particular group could not detain citizens who think are loyal to the country. By early 1945, the government began to release any of the Japanese that were detained throughout the duration of the war. The Japanese were not the only group that…

In Making Tough Decisions, Paul C. Nutt discusses the lack of instruments to find the truth in decision making. But if we are to believe as Nutt writes, then there is even a stronger need for the foreseeable element. Clairvoyance is not a prerequisite to becoming a world leader but is need to establish a thought process that includes the understanding of foreseeable risk. (Nutt, Pg. 3) When our leaders are faced with tough decisions and lack the understanding for the implications of a bad…

superior bombs a far more cost effective method. According to http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk “In October 1957, the world was introduced to the fear of a missile attack when Sputnik was launched. This was to lead to ICBM’s: Intercontinental ballistic missiles. As a result, The United States built the Defense and Early Warning system (DEW) line around the Arctic.” Around the 1960’s, the Russians put their money into constructing more missiles regardless of quality while America built fewer…

One of the most trending topics in all of the media is Kim Jong-Un and North Korea. This is for good reason, as there are many ideas to report, like how Kim Jong-Un and North Korea’s government has made its country dystopian-like. When analyzing how the government of North Korea makes decisions that creates a dystopian society among their citizens, one can evaluate what changes Kim Jong-Un made that was so influencing and controlling that their country became dystopian, determine the specific…

career did not take off until 1991 when his poem “Questions about Angels” was chosen for the National Poetry Series. Collin’s career grew tremendously afterwards, and he has become famous for many more collections—such as Dark Horse: Poems (2002), Ballistics (2008), and Horoscopes for the Dead (2011). Collins later went to spend two years as poet laureate consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress. Critics and readers still hold Collins work at a very high standard (Cunningham,…

by the Syrian Arab Republic. Sunni cities were deprived of food and medical services, which also fits under the persecution stage. According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the Syrian government continues to use chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, cluster munitions, incendiary weapons, and “barrel bombs” on civilians in residential areas. These weapons were stocked and armies were built in the preparation step of genocide, leading to the violence and murders. Torture and rape…

A U-2 plane was a plane that flew at very high altitudes to avoid being detected. Discovering the missiles was a huge threat to the United States because Cuba was only 90 miles away,…
