In the more and more drastic foreign competition, European powerful countries were hostile and suspect to…

In ethics, consequentialist theory defines as “the moral rightness and wrongness of action as a function of their result. If the consequences are good; the action is right, if they are bad, then the action is wrong.” There are two types of consequentialist theories. Egoism which views morality ultimately rests on self-interest. While “utilitarianism is the moral doctrine that people should always act to produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad for everyone affected by our actions…

This summer, my family and I traveled to Berlin, Germany to learn about my Jewish great grandparents’ experience during the Holocaust. After visiting the Topography of Terror, I have become interested in understanding how the Nazis could turn a democracy into a dictatorship. This trip made me question not only government’s actions of the past, but also my government’s actions today. It has made me look at the U.S. 2016 election differently. Most of all, my trip made me want to learn more about…

countries. This blind hatred backs the bulk of the reasoning behind those who are against Syrian involvement and refugee aid along with what this opposition views as notable counter-claims. The main claim in opposition of accepting refugees is the evidence that host countries are suffering from the bombardment of the refugees and as a result, their livelihood has taken a toll. In the article “Development and Protection Challenges of the Syrian Refugee Crisis,” Zetter, Roger, and Ruaudel focus…

History has revealed a nation battled itself, the American Civil War, just for equality,…

A multicultural map of the world was published based on a research done by Erkan Gören from the University of Oldenberg in Germany, it shows that most of the countries are cultural diverse(xxxx).…

MANAGING GLOBALIZATION It has been established that globalization is unquestionable, that non-state actors are integral parts of the world system and that states still remain the primary actors. In light of these three notions, it is advantageous to examine globalization for what it is: hyper-capitalism, as capitalism is and always has been an international affair. Both Strange’s and Gilpin’s interpretations strengthen this argument. In Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel’s Communist Manifesto, they…

Follesdal & Hix recognize numerous holes in Moravcsik’s arguments. Though the policies of the EU and voter preferences tend to always align, this is insufficient. Democrats, particularly libertarians, want strong safeguards to ensure that government will be accountable.
