Hard power

has both a great deal of power and plenty of responsibility. The United States is recognized all throughout the world as its superpower and it has legitimacy to back it up. Even if we were in a decline from being the global hegemony, no other country comes close to our GDP. Many suggest that China is the next hegemony and that they will be the next authority, but no one can really tell by just using raw data alone. As we discussed the debate of what power really looks like and China’s actual position economically, the hard and soft power and how they are connected to the theories of international relations, and our own smart power policy, we really figure out where the United States stands in keeping its position as the global supremacy. As a group, we spoke about how we saw…

each day. These decisions are not necessarily achieved by rational individuals. Placing those people in positions of power without the incentive to make the proper decision will result in a scenario resembling that which is portrayed in “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. Within the story, the grandmother sees herself as a lady that can manipulate her family in any way she pleases. Red Sam, the owner of The Tower, upholds these values to the same extent as her.

The Most They Ever Had, written by Rick Bragg tells the story of hard working southern whites who even under harsh conditions went to work every day for what they felt was the best paycheck they ever made. The mill was more than work; it was family, life and salvation. It was baseball games, childhood pranks, poverty, singers, and love. From the mills of Greenleaf, to the textile union strikes, to President Roosevelt changing labor laws, the mills were a legacy of hard work. Americans worked…

Peter Parker’s problems all started because of a girl. If he hadn’t been taking pictures of Mary-Jane Watson, he would never of been bitten. Then he uses his super human powers to try and impress her, and gets his Uncle killed. If he didn’t go after the girl, none of this would have happened. This whole thing started, because he wanted Mary-Jane. In the end, he couldn’t have Mary-Jane because being Spider Man would put her in danger. This doesn’t make sense to me.

It isn’t about the people, but about keeping the people in her hands. However the other view is that there has to be a layer of trust.…

The Power Manifesto To the Brave and Broken Hearted To the brave and broken hearted, I need you to know that I am one of you. I have consistently risen to positions of power and I have consistently failed, and fallen back down. Power became an all consuming drug, that lead me toward hurting others; manipulating followers and situations to give me more power (Nahavandi, 2015). Ultimately, power was the armor I used to protect myself, leaving me disconnected from the world and fueling the…
