George W. Bush's Stimulus Package Essay

The Hostages The choice of a rescue mission seemed necessary in releasing the American hostages from Iranian students. President Carter had previous tried other types of military tactics in order to rescue them. The crisis at the time had be going on for about 6 months when “Operation Eagle Claw” was established. The rescue mission ended in complete failure. Several of the rescue helicopters collided injuring five soldiers and killing eight (History.com Staff, 2010). Due to President Carter’s…

The United States government is made up of three branches, the judicial, legislative, and executive. Each branch has specific powers, some of which they share. Of the three branches, the executive and legislative branches are supposed to be the primary two holders of the war powers. I believe that through history it has been shown that the legislative branch and the executive branch are fairly equal with one another when it comes to their war powers. There have been several occurrences…

Anchor 1: Although there is controversy surrounding the New Jersey Gubernatorial election, it leads many to question the exact forerunner candidates. Some voters believe the hugely popular current Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe, is a dominant competitor for the Democratic nomination. Others believe otherwise. Anchor 2: Terry’s has been defined as an “out-sound-bite,” out-glad-hand, and simply outlast almost all the big-league professionals [governor circle] around him.” (Washington post)…

In this essay I have sought to understand and enlighten the intricacies of spoken language by studying two audio clips – one from the television reality show ‘The Apprentice’ and the second a recorded conversation of the captain of the Costa Concordia at the time of its sinking. Written language often falls short in conveying most emotions such as sarcasm or surprise. This is even truer with subtle emotions like annoyance or shyness. Most formal languages afford us with at most the question mark…

On September 26, 2002 at John F. Kennedy Airport. Thirty-four-year-old Canadian Maher Arar was changing planes when he was detained by U.S because he was on the United States Watch List of Terrorist Suspects. He was held in the United States for the next thirteen days for questioning. After the thirteen days he was sent to Syria where Arar spent the next year being tortured. He was released on October, 2003 after the Canadian government’s investigation on Maher Arar. The Syrian Ambassador,…

This article is a perfect example of the ignorance that surrounds the Last Fridays release of The Trump Video. The article suggest that Billy Bush was NBC's scapegoate after the release of the video, and that the video was released as a strategic way to bringing down Trump. I don't disagree that Billy Bush was let go as a result of the video. I also don't disagree that it was strategically released with the intention of tarnishing Trump. However, I do disagree with authors logic. In fact, I…

Having drawn many of its founding values from John Locke’s social contract theory, the American government holds the responsibility of protecting its citizens at all costs – but to what extent? From the beginnings of the War on Terror in 2001, the American government has enacted multiple policies that have overstepped its legislative and executive boundaries, supposedly under the guise of protecting the American public from the grasps of terrorism. This was seen in the creation of the PATRIOT…

For the past year, I have hidden behind a wall of insecurity. Being a Mexican-American in today's politically charged society has separated me from the rest of the country. It is now evident that racism is well and alive in our country and was merely concealed for years until now. Now, Mexicans and other various ethnic groups are oppressed daily and labeled as “unfit” and “unwanted”. As for Mexicans, President Donald Trump thinks he has a good solution. Build a wall and pass laws to restrict the…

John Brown is not a terrorist because he was just trying to do the right thing. He was trying to get the message out that do whatever it takes to help somebody that is getting whipped and treated like a dog. So the question is would you kill 5 settlers in Pottawatomie Creek? I would kill 5 settlers that were treating slaves like they were worthless. The world would define terrorism as if it was a suicide bomber because it is just a part of the law. When I say this I mean that any country has…

What is the Just War theory? According to Augustine there is no right to kill. One can kill only under the authority of God. Augustine believed that in wars there was a right intention. He also state that wars should not be fought with hatred, that they should be a desire to defeat evil and injustice. “The wise man will wage just wars”. This means that they are not fighting just to get paid. There are seven criteria by which a war can be judged to be just. Among the rules are Just Cause, there…
