In contemporary American politics, name recognition is of the utmost importance. It is significant reason why Hillary Clinton had such a large lead over her two opponents early on in the primary season.

It is chiefly for this reason that third parties continuously find themselves lagging behind in the polls and unknown to the vast majority of the American electorate. All of the factors that handicap…

Literature Review Ancient Japan showed that the Samurai lived all their lives following the ethical code of bushido "the method for the warrior". This unique philosophy valued honor, reckless bravery and selflessness, as well as duty to the warrior's master with the purpose of giving up one's life and embracing death.

The Cold War was condensed to the free world's champion versus the apparatchiks spawned by the Soviet socialist chess machine. When Fischer played Spassky in Iceland, it was an American named Bobby playing a Russian named Boris. He was the maverick American facing off against the establishment Russian.
