marked difference in politics, economies, culture, or language between the bordering nations. These conditions exist on the United States/Mexico border and have consequently led to tougher laws, an increase in physical barriers, and the substantial escalation of border enforcement. According to Walter Ewing, a Research Associate at the Immigration Policy Center, the Border Patrol budget quadrupled from 1993 to 2005 and the number of Border Patrol agents nearly tripled (Ewing 2007).

All post world war II presidents have had some involvement in the Vietnam conflict, but does that mean we blame them all for this failure? Does the sins of Lyndon B. Johnson equal Harry S. Truman? Of course not, each president had different levels of involvement, and such the blame should not be equally shared. Lyndon B. Johnson should be held the most responsible for the lives, and money lost followed by Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the least accountable Harry S.…

Direct mail advertising is inherently risky, and, of itself, rarely guarantees success. If executed poorly, recipients are likely to regard it as spam and quickly dispose of it, thus being a waste of money, time, resources, and, potentially, reputation (Suttle, 2015).

The military intervention should not initially be made if it clearly can lead to conflict escalation or to greater human suffering than in the case of non-interference. This should be done everything possible to ensure compliance with the intervention of the international humanitarian law. However, the goals of intervention are not only to end…

When I first signed up for the class I expected the structure and content to be like any other typical general education class, however, I was wrong. I came into the class with an abundant amount of personal goals to increase my writing and general English skills and I received far more than I could have asked for. English has always been a troubling subject for me to pick up on and understand in high school so my expectations were bleak. However, I am happy that I was wrong because my skills…

Rational choice theory was first proposed during the Enlightenment era by the Italian social philosopher Cesare Beccaria who posited that individuals were rational beings, endowed with free will, and who consciously decide to engage in certain behaviors and not in others (Humphrey & Schmalleger, 2012). In his book On Crime and Punishment, Beccaria furthers his hypothesis by developing the hedonistic principle in which he proposes that individuals seek to maximize their pleasure and minimize…
