Saying that getting a job in the State Department is hard is a bit of an understatement. After spending months researching others’ endeavors trying to get employed the Department of State, I’ve learned it is one long battle. You are essentially competing with yourself every time. Surprisingly with all the negative experiences of getting hired I’ve received, I still want to pursue it. For me, the biggest reason why I want to do this is the opportunity to travel and really immerse myself with people from various cultures. It is also about broadening my…

The collapse of the Soviet Union forced Russia to reorganize and change the way they operated their intelligence community. This reorganization and restructuring of the intelligence community by the Russians is what the current intelligence climate sees today. Prior to the Cold War ending, the primary intelligence agency for the Soviet Union was known as the KGB, which was responsible for both domestic and foreign political intelligence (Soldatov & Borogan, 2011, pg. 83). Unlike the United…

After the conclusion of WWII, in the 1950’s, ‘It was becoming increasingly difficult to justify a racist policy when a war had just been fought against ‘pride of race’. (Brawley, 1989:155) The international community was putting both political and economic pressure on Australia to change. The international press began comparing the White Australia policy to the extreme racism prevalent in South Africa and Rhodesia (Tavan, 2004:116). Australia’s xenophobic immigration policies created extreme…

In addition, I have attended a number of lectures and dialogues on race, cultural divides, and diversity that have provided me with the correct terminology to discuss, analyze, and keep up with the demanding nature of the IFP program. The International Field Program is extremely unique: I would take classes with leading Cuban intellectuals, gain an alternative view point on concepts that I gained from the perspective of neoliberalism, and I will share the classes with Cuban students, a rare…

Journey’s End by R.C. Sherriff is a play that details the psychological toll on military officers assigned to trench warfare during World War I. War is and has always been one of the most psychologically taxing activities of the human race. History books or even accurate reenactments do very little to help people identify with those who had to fight for their beliefs or freedom. Journey’s End provides a very well-constructed set of examples to help the viewer understand the plight of military…

The study looked at many things such as the amount of calls for service, the number of officers working each shift, the number of events, and the schedule the officers were working. In reality, the survey was a gamble for the department because there were three possible…
