Culture is not always mentioned in a classroom setting as much as it should be, or, we don’t give it much thought in our daily lives. In my high school, culture was not emphasized in any major core classes. If I had to explain what culture is in my terms, I would say that culture is the way a group of people dress, the way their beliefs are based, the way their art is presented, the way they think, the way their share and present their ideas, the way their syntax is formed, the way their music,…

In 1860, just a few years preceding the Civil war, the Union Army numbers totaled in about 16,000 men (Newell, 2014). To prepare for the unavoidable conflict with the Confederate States, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to enlist and in the next three years, congress authorized the acceptance of one million soldiers (Calabresi & Bobbit, 1978). To supplement this demand in man power, congress passed the Militia Act of 1862 which empowered the President to direct the States…

Why do politicians break their promises on migration? Since 1994 immigration control has risen to the centre of electoral campaigns across European countries, giving salience to the growing discontinuity between public opinion and policy (Lahav and Guiraudon: 2006). I propose a research project which combines theoretical and methodological approaches to research, integrating qualitative data to build a stronger understanding of why politicians break their promises on migration. The gap between…

Labor unions were originally formed with the intent of protecting the worker from terrible working conditions, unexplained dismissal, and fair wages. Before labor unions, workers were cheated out of money they rightfully earned, and workers are almost always at risk of losing their jobs and possible benefits. It can be difficult to decide which is better for both Union and nonunion workers are pleased with each. While some people believe that nonunion workers benefit more than the union workers,…

result of this action of the Soviet women being drafted and volunteering in the war because of the numbers of men were low. Even though this did not have a big impact on other women in the world, it had changed the traditional view of women in Soviet Union society empowering them to take on bigger things and creating a feminist meritocracy. This countered the traditional belief that women were…

Soviet-American Olympic hockey game. The Soviet Union hockey team had dominated the hockey world consistently for the past decade, this era of Soviet superiority came to an end as the underdog American team routed the Soviets four to three, moving to the next round of competition with a chance to win the gold medal in the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn agrees with Colson and Pearcey about the reality of naturalism in modern Western culture and provides catastrophic examples of the destructive effects that they assert to be the results of naturalism. This Russian author argues that much of the world’s wars stem from the people forgetting about God. He states, “The failings of human consciousness, deprived of its divine dimension, have been a determining factor in all the major crimes of this century” (146). The first…

of labor unions “labor unions support a higher minimum wage by claiming to be concerned with the welfare of all workers, but in reality they see a minimum wage as an effective way of making it illegal for low skilled workers to compete against union members by accepting lower wages”. Most people would never think about labor unions like this. To most citizens the labor union is an organization that represents the collective interest of workers. However, that is just one opinion. Labor union…

Nicholas II played a vital, negative role in contributing to his complete downfall during the early 20th century. His reluctance to become Tsar was a major factor that contributed to his own demise. The release of the October Manifesto in 1905 was one of the key events that led to the end of Tsar Nicholas’s rule over Russia. Tsar Nicholas’s poor leadership in World War 1 as well as his weak-willed personality was also issues that further contributed to the collapse of the Romanov Dynasty. These…
