"You okay?" the gentle voice of Hera interrupts my pitying. "I should be the one asking you that question, Hera." I counter, thinking about how she must be feeling. This is her home, after all. "That maybe so, but I need your head in the game." Hera sternly divulges to me. "Or, more of my people will die, today" she solemnly tells me. "You 're right, let 's go." I agree without delay, preventing any more of the assurances from Hera, as I know what is at stake. The entire galaxy is on the verge of the greatest war in its history. The people vs the oppressing regime; the Empire vs the Rebellion. Hera casts me a concerned glance, yet ultimately gives in and leads me off into the distance. Only time will give us the power we need, and the most important weapon of all. Hope. Our Rebellion was founded by the hope of a better future; a future without the discrimination of the Galactic Empire. Now, it is driven by the unyielding resolve of the ordinary beings of the worlds.

    touching moments. Riz Ahmed is very good as Bodhi Rook, the Imperial pilot who defects to the Rebellion. He’s earnest and energetic in all the right ways. Outside the main group of heroes, two smaller players deserve a mention. Forest Whitaker is quite good as Saw Gerrera, a slightly insane militant rebel who raised Jyn. He pulls off the outlandish quality of his character and provides gravitas. That latter attribute can also be said of Mads Mikkelsen as Jyn’s father. His performance is full of…

    receiving end of his wrath. Still, Jorgan stood straight and stared at a fixed point on the far wall. The older man put his hands on his hips and shook his head. "What were you thinking?" "Our intelligence was faulty, sir," he answered simply. Vorne looked at Jorgan for a long time before pressing. "Care to explain that?" Jorgan resisted the shiver than tried to crawl up his spine. That woman was brave, she'd faced her punishment for whatever crime the Moff had condemned her, and she'd railed…

    Imperialism is defined as “the policy of extending a nation’s authority by territorial acquisition or by establishing economic and political hegemony over other nations.” As Western European powers continued to extend their empires across the world, the idea of a new imperialism would emerge between the period 1880-1914.

    would treat him as a leader. Alexander deserved to be called, the Great, because of his strategic military skills, ambition to become a great leader at a young age, and the way he maintained and controlled his empire when he was the king (Plutarch 4).

When it came to combat Alexander excelled in strategizing and outsmarting…

    The term “empire” has become rather ubiquitous in our modern, globalizing world. But the framework around which to define and understand empire and the notions of imperialism within a modern context remains elusive. In trying to codify the complexities of empire, questions such as “Who is empire?”, “How is empire manifested?”, “Where can empire be seen?”, and “What is the nature of empire?” arise. Following World War II, though arguably seen as early as the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, the United…
