“Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs.” Terry Eagleton. Eagleton’s quote means that justice doesn’t follow the political laws, that everyone’s justice is different for them. Justice is different for everyone because everyone has different views on politics, because people have different views in society and towards what they believe will be a good system for the American government system. Also political ideas change over time…

The Clinton (Democrat) administration’s military intervention foreign policy is in the ‘half-out’ category due to Clinton’s policies of “hegemony on the cheap” (“The Quiet Clinton Era of the 1990s: A Liberal Internationalist Strategy for Unipolarity?”) which emphasized multilateralism and avoided conflicts in which the U.S. had little to no interests, but wanted to “preserve an American-centered order” (“The Quiet Clinton Era”). Clinton wanted to maintain the status quo of the American unipolar…

bout intervention in Rwanda, the Clinton administration certainly had Somalia on its mind. It had inherited the Somali civil war crisis from the Bush administration, which, as described, had chosen to intervene in large part due to public opinion. A key aspect of the AE framework is that leaders tend to use the availability heuristic to choose the analogy on which they’ll base their next decision. Broadened to the American public, the AE framework would posit that the people also had Somalia on…

Terrorism can be described as any act of violence intended to cause death or serious bodily harm in order to intimidate the population or to compel a government and international agencies from doing something. For the United States, the most horrific terrorist attack to happen occurred on September 11th, 2001 when terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed them into the twin towers and the pentagon. It not only resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians, but it would change…

1. What challenges did this president inherit? George Washington was challenged with military and western expansion as well as having to set up a whole system of government. Franklin Delano Roosevelt inherited the challenge of dealing with the Great Depression because our economy was in shambles due to the stock market. Lyndon Johnson had the challenged of a rapidly growing struggle to restrain Communist encroachment in Vietnam; he had segregation issues to deal with (“Lyndon B. Johnson”).…

The continuous entanglements with the Middle East that the United States has experienced throughout the past two decades have raised much controversy among the American people. As the wars and strife continue, many people have either grown bored and stopped discussing the issues regularly or have become disgusted with the American governments approach to the issue. With relatively few exceptions, it seems that the majority of American citizens wish to see out militaries interaction with the…

Abstract: The overall purpose of this paper was to try to shed light on issues within our government shown through immigration. Immigration is a perfect topic to use because through politics, it remains one of the most polarizing issues. I focused the research on issues within the government specifically brought to light by immigration and gave those as examples of how situations could have handled better. Although politicians are elected, there are major events that seem extremely immoral that…

Having an African American become the President of the United States was unthinkable for many decades. For a while in American history, African Americans were slaves and it was the law, until the ratification of the thirteenth amendment. For centuries African Americans have fought to be treated equal as whites in all areas of living. They were not treated like people and were treated like property. They were not even aloud to vote for a while and were only counted as three-fifths of a person.…

In a country of democracy, citizens have the rights to choose what is best for themselves. However, the governments often disregard or repulse those rights. For instance, in 2010, President Barack Obama signed an Act called ACA, which also known as the Obamacare in order to make sure all citizens have a health insurance coverage. Although at that time for some people it seemed to be a great idea, it did not balance on both sides because it did not seem to be fair for others. As Michael Hart a…
