Deliberate attacks against civilians, legitimate act of war? Yes, however it’s a poor and awful way of carrying out a vicious and malicious act against innocent people. One native might punch another, and not confer a demonstration of war. War is for the most part accepted to be a proclaimed hostile between two countries, as when the United States announced war against the Axis powers Japan, Germany and Italy on December 8, 1941. Were deliberate attacks on civilians during the Second World War…

private health and the private education system should receive vouchers and tax breaks. In addition, they focus on the goodwill of the people, instead of a public system, which they see as a socialist agenda. However, Democrats want to mirror foreign nations by setting up a national health care system. They want to expand the federal control of education to control what is taught and the teaching standards. Furthermore, the Democrats wish to expand the Medicare system. In this issue, I am in the…

President Truman of the United States appealed to the United Nations for an intervention on the behalf of South Korea. Because the Soviet Union was inactive, as they were boycotting the Security Council as a result of the Council’s refusal to recognize China’s newly founded Communist government, the Soviet Union could…

Additionally, liberal pluralists emphasize on non-governmental organizations as the primary factors in achieving human rights. Some theorists argue that it should be up to the NGOs to endorse human rights, not up to the individual states. Many Sub-Saharan African states including Guinea, Angola, and Zimbabwe have corrupt governments that do not provide effective services to its citizens. In these scenarios in which the states are unable to secure human rights, liberal pluralists argue…

As the world’s largest clothing and apparel brand, Nike, Inc. is constantly under pressure from shareholders, and competitors alike to compete on a global stage. With this, comes pressure to derive strong sales growth through superior products quality, strong brand strength, and a sustainable corporate and ethical image.

People from around the world migrate to Canada because they are encouraged to maintain their cultural heritage, while being a part of the Canadian culture as well. Culture is an important part of people’s life, as it influences one’s beliefs, values and basic ways of conducting life. Many countries expect immigrants to forget about their cultural heritage and to adopt the cultures of that country, a…

It should come as no shock that other nations view the leniency of the American government as an act of hypocrisy. The vehement nation that has opposed the use of torture due to its cruel nature now authorizes torture because it is of use. By disregarding the treaties, the United States not only insults the international community and makes a mockery of the international legal system, the nation loses the respect of allies and esteem of developing nations. In his article “A Case for Torture,”…

John Mearsheimer alluded to this ‘reality’ in the following quote from a series of interviews called Conversations with History in 2002. “My argument is that if China continues to grow economically, it will translate that economic might into military might, and it will become involved in an intense security competition with the United States, similar to the security competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.” Subscribers to Mearsheimer’s…

As a quintessential example of peace settlement, Treaty of Versailles has been widely regarded as the last page of World War One, following the armistice, formally marking the conclusion of war status between Germany and the Allied and Associated Powers (Brezina, 2006). However, the Treaty has only enjoyed limited success and was, paradoxically, accused of laying the cornerstone for its predecessor, the following World War Two (Keynes, 1920; Schuker, 1992; Taylor, 1991). The cardinal objective…
