Contras

people that fought against it and didn't like it though. That's when Reagan came up with the Reagan Doctrine. This would allow him to support the anti-communists in Cuba. This was also part of a big scandal by Reagan. He was secretly backing the Contras and that was illegal. He wasn't just backing them, but selling guns to them and also the Irans. It was highly illegal, but when it came to bite the bullet, his general took the blame. After this was finished, Reagan set his sights to the problems…

has dedicated his life to inquiry and develops his theory of recollection as a way to defend inquiry and preserve his life long work. In the Meno, Socrates argues that knowledge is never learned; it is just recollected. In this paper, I will argue, contra Socrates, that knowledge does, in fact, require learning. In a joint state of perplexity over whether virtue…

Lord Denning, in High Trees, set out the test for promissory estoppel, which consists of three requirements, in addition to the limitation of operation that it may not be used as a cause of action. To estop the promisor from enforcing his legal right, there must be: 1. a clear and unequivocal promise not to insist on strict contractual rights (intended to affect the legal relations between parties); 2. the promisee must reasonably rely on the promise; 3. it must be inequitable for the…

Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo was a movement in Argentina during the years of 1976 and 1983 (Becker, 288). During the time of the Argentine “Dirty War,” many children were taken from their families by the military (Becker, 288). These boys and girls came from families of “rebels,” and were given to families in support of the war (Becker, 288). Mothers endlessly searched for their children with no luck. They became frustrated and upset at their country for hurting them so badly. Finally, on April…

President Bush entered office in 2001 tasked with continuing the articulation of Reagan conservatism, an effort begun by his father before him. An orthodox innovator, George W. Bush was tasked with perpetuating the principles of Reagan under different and extraordinary circumstances (Montagne, 2005). Conceived in the wake of arguably the biggest tragedy in American history, Bush wielded expanded executive power and thus possessed and an exceptional opportunity to increase the relevancy of the…

officer would be there in less than a minute. Emergency poles would be expensive to install but would last for years and would relieve many students’ fears. But not all colleges have the funds or have donators to pay for such expensive precautions. “The Contra Costa Community College District, which has almost 62,000 students in the San Francisco Bay Area”, decided to remove some of their emergency poles due to the expensive up keep. It cost about $50,000 annually for upkeep. Hiring more…

The world security situation is always changing but not always improving. After President Bush announced the end of the Cold War, different security challenges to American national interests became the priorities. This vacuum of power allowed regional powers to expand and threat organizations to grow in capability and boldness. These new threats range from existing state-based threats, failing states with non-state actors, and Gray Zone conflicts. Russian, Chinese, and North Korean…

The government should no continue the war on drugs. This was a national initiative started by President Richard Nixon in 1971 (Clegg1). Drugs trade produces about a trillion dollars a year and more 230 million people use illegal drugs (Branson1). The drugs were taxed at rates comparable to these on alcohol and tobacco (Branson3). Drug abusers filled courts, hospitals, and prisons (Tama1). People are pushing for the use of drugs to be recognized as a human right (Wrong1). Black American…

 Seriously, if this continues maybe I need to be gentler with you? I am really hoping that my leathering on Saturday will have helped me progress significantly from where I was. For that reason, I'm hoping that it won't be so bad next time, but contra to that hope is the fact that your Granddad's belt is far more severe than the Thrashing Strap. To be perfectly open and honest, I do worry about the red urine, as I've read that the damaged cells can block the kidney's filtration system and…

The moment you step into the exhibition “A New Republic” by Kehinde Wiley on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn museum, you are embraced with a sense of equality. You look around and all you see are black men and women captured in various mediums by the artist where you can clearly see the uniqueness. At the center of the exhibit are glass stain portraits; sculptures surround half the room and the other half has 22k gold leaf, oil on wood panel or oil on linen paintings. The paintings are large in…
