Ali Khadery (2014) Three years ago, the Islamic State (ISIS) did not exist; now it controls vast swaths of Syria and Iraq. Showing off its handiwork daily via Twitter and YouTube, Isis has repeatedly demonstrated that it is much more than a transnational terrorist organization – rather, it is an entity with sophisticated command, control, propaganda and logistical capabilities, and one that has proven its ability to take and hold strategically critical territory at the heart of the Middle East.…

the most effective modern president during his terms in office. Although the president does not dictate the economy, the economy reflects on the president’s achievements and success. Barack Obama inherited an awful economy from his predecessor, George W. Bush. The Recession of 2008, caused by the housing market crash, left the unemployment rate high and the country in shambles. In response to this, Obama passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which gave tax cuts to the middle class,…

The reasons for the War in Afghanistan cannot be blamed on one specific event but rather multiple. For the first decade of the 21st century, the United States has been sending thousands of troops into the middle east to fight against the Al-Qaeda who were seen as terrorists. The US knew that the al-Qaeda were allowed to hide in Afghanistan by the Taliban but the US did not act.

Weekend won’t be found screaming at you from the crowded shelving of your local newsagent or supermarket. It’s title subtle and small goes against the claim, “the title is always written in large letters” suggested by McLoughlin (The L of M p6). No! it is waiting to be discovered in it’s protective cover, immersed in the numerous folds of the Guardian’s Saturday sections. A supplement you might ask, yes, but an award winning supplement and supplement, I believe in name alone. There can be no…

Stories that relate to social justice are in the news constantly, ranging from how different races are treated by law enforcement all the way up to decisions that are being made by our president. The principle of social justice indicates that all people that are in the same circumstances should be treated equal and people in different situations have the right to be treated differently (Dolgoff, Harrington, & Loewenberg, 2012). The article I found is about President Trump reversing the…

Among the Democratic and Republican Parties, the remaining frontrunners are: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich.

President Donald Trump's Inaugural Address stated the same agenda and theme that he used during his campaign. The speech's purpose was to reiterate the themes of taking back control of the government from the politicians, making jobs in the United States, and prioritizing American citizens. The speech was directed primarily to the American people, and secondary to the world. During President Donald Trump's inaugural speech, some of the words used and the order in which he used them, I believe…

Mr./Madam President, I rise today for the 160th time to again ask this chamber to wake up to the mounting evidence of climate change. In the coming decades demand for food, water, and energy will grow by approximately 35, 40, and 50 percent around the globe. Climate change will worsen the outlook for the availability of these critical resources. The severity of existing weather patterns will intensify, with wet areas getting wetter and dry and arid areas becoming more so. This extreme…

After an anxious night for both Democratic and Republican candidates, Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton win pulling out close wins in Iowa. Due to a very close tie between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, CNN did not confirm Hillary Clinton’s win until around 1pm on Tuesday. "The results tonight are the closest in Iowa Democratic caucus history," Iowa party chairman Andy McGuire said. New Hampshire is the next state to vote on February 9, with Sanders holding a strong lead he is expected to…
