It doesn 't take a myopic view of the Kashmir conflict as a ‘territorial-dispute,’ but looks at it through a broader lens, taking into account the complexity of society and politics in the region. The book tries to shift the focus of the…

general public, it is hard to imagine a world peace is a priority. This becomes an even greater challenge when someone attempts to define peace. The concept of peace varies from person to person and even trying to define what peace is can lead to conflict. Although there is a multitude of opinions as to what peace is, to me, peace is a society free from imperialism. Imperialism is a system in which a single empire, state, or nation, extends their authority into surrounding countries or states…

The theoretical perspective that explains the issue of gender wage gap inequality is the conflict theory. The conflict theory comes from the work of Karl Marx where there are different kinds of groups competing for dominance. Although conflict theory eventually evolves into the contemporary conflict theory, this theory truly explains the issue with our society. The contemporary conflict theory relates to people who desire social change if it’s moving toward egaliterianism which means that all…

Question #4: Did Marlow violate any duty or duties toward Aerogels, Inc.? If so what are they and will he be liable to Aerogels, Inc. for the profits he receives in his new venture?

Extra credit response #1 Out of the list of movies that was available to watch, I chose “Embrace of the Serpent” out of complete curiosity. The movie was quite unique I would have to say. The plot was about an Indian man named Karamakate who was the last shaman that survived from his tribe. His mission was to travel two scientists to find a sacred plant called Yakruna. Both these missions occurred at two different periods in Karmakate’s life and both men were out to find it out of…

disappointment, fear, regret, hate etc. Worst of all, the emptiness left behind. With this being said I will be writing about my interpersonal relationship that I have with my boyfriend Jorge. Not only about our history, the way we communicate, and conflict resolution methods, but also how…

Karl Marx’s Social Class, The State, and Law Our world today is very overpopulated, for this, people are constantly in opposition against each other.

which I have lived. My cultural background has influenced my assumptions, approaches and my overall perspective of conflict resolution. This will continue in my lifetime as I continue to explore what builds my personal perspective of conflict resolution and further my study of culture and conflict. My own cultural background has influenced my assumptions about conflict and conflict resolution substantially. First of all, I have a very strong Greek influence as I am of the first born Canadian…

Judges Leslie Tiller and Simon Skinner serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, respectively. Each has an involved history with Minnesota’s governor, Joyce Cooper. In this paper, I will argue that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause bars Skinner, but not Tiller, from hearing two cases to which Cooper is a party: the Sierra Club case and the Cooper Corruption case. I address each of the two cases in parts I and…

There are three approaches to understanding power: pluralism, elitism, and Marxism. They serve differing views on the distribution of political power and of the sources and nature of conflict within a society. Pluralists focus on how decisions are made and analyze competing power sources. Pluralism is consistent with capitalist democracy and focuses not on the collective, but rather on competing groups. Pluralism allows for different sections within society to be heard by the government. This…
