Power is nothing more than authority and strength, which incorporates any arrangement of motive influence, aptitude to act, and the propensity to control. Whether its dealing with animals or humans, supremacy pursues the ambitious and intellectual, resulting in adverse consequences.

Throughout history, many like Joseph Stalin have altered society’s way of life by gaining too much power, causing fear, and killing for their own…

These faults include matters of theory of value, theory of exploitation, capital accumulation, concentration of wealth and class conflict. Although the Canadian economy displays certain socialistic attributes, there is also no doubt that the nation is majorly capitalistic. Thus, the implementation of…

It may be tempting for the reader to conclude that the indigenous factors in the region are responsible for this reversal; however it may be more complex than it would seem. While one might say that the kind of…

The development and ongoing conflict between the United States and Russia in the 20th century ushered in a new era of foreign policy propaganda tactics and a global battle between economic ideologies that greatly affected U.S relations with Central America.
