John F. Kennedy on May 29, 1917 he was born to Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald. Joseph was a wealthy Irish-American man. John was the second of nine children. When he was two-and-a-half he had scarlet fever. He had to be separated from his Mom and baby sister. His nanny told him stories about leprechauns and fairies. He did not get better so his parents rushed him to a boston hospital. He was there for weeks fighting for every breath. He did get better, but he was weak and sick a lot. His…

deceptive fox we can use President Franklin D. Roosevelt as an example. Roosevelt had been deceiving the American people since before Pearl Harbor by telling the people about his “innocent mission” when he was really using German submarines and American destroyers to locate the British submarines. After this, yet another example of Machiavellian Realism was seen with President John Kennedy and Secretary of state Dean Rusk. They stated that the United States wasn't part of the 1961 invasion of…

may be struck with some of the most powerful weapons known to man, may be an overstatement. The U.S. has battleship destroyers in the Korean Peninsula, deterring leader Kim Jong-un from doing anything out of the ordinary. North Korea is incapable of putting a nuclear war head on a ICBM, so all the parades and missile launches are just a big show. Residents of Seattle should…

The Great War or First World War broke out on 28th July 1914. It took more than nine millions combatants and seven millions civilian’s lives. Many intellectuals of the time grieved over the catastrophe and expressed their views, trying to analyze the possible causes of such a great and unprecedented catastrophe. In Lenin’s words The war is a product of half a century of development of world capital and of its billons of threads and connections. It is impossible to escape from the imperialistic…

to transport soldiers to the Destroyers and Minesweepers. The film exaggerates their role while downplaying the British Navy, when in fact the private vessels had been commandeered by naval crews. Also, within the film it becomes evident that Britain and the Navy weren’t sending many Minesweepers or Destroyers as hoped to Dunkirk and that England were saving them for when war hopped across the Channel. Though this was the case in the film and in reality, many Destroyers and Minesweepers…

Delivered on June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill’s speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” is one of the most recognized speeches during World War II. Churchill, who at the time was the prime minister of the United Kingdom did not actually broadcast this speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom, rather to the House of Commons. In fact, it was not until 1949 that people were able to listen to his own voice delivering the speech after Churchill was persuaded to record it for the benefit of younger…

Religions: A Whirlwind Tour" was not what I expected. I appreciated Professor LD Russell's attempt to try and get the audience to put themselves in Hindu's shoes. It is easy to think that the Trimurti may not be "good" gods because Shiva is the destroyer but if we really stop to think about it, it is not all that different from our God. However, he was all over the place and it was difficult to follow his train of thought. I attempted to watch the video on four separate occassion and I had to…

The mystical world is filled with spirits from nature that ensure the balance of nature and the prosperity of the earth for humans in their natural world. Through prayers and rituals, this link provides individuals with a firm foundation which…

darkness the outline of a boat coming straight towards them. At first he mistook it for a fellow PT boat-no cause for alarm. Yet as it came closer, he realized what it was: A Japanese destroyer. He made an attempt at the guns and tried to move out of the way, but it was too late. The PT boat was hit by the enormous destroyer and nearly all of the crew were spewed out, several of them swallowing toxic amounts of gasoline. The PT boat was damaged irreparably. John Kennedy, the Lieutenant, was…
