The cold war started because the united states wanted to stop Comunsim, the Soviets wanted to be more powerful, and both counties did not agree how to help other counties.

the Europeans, and a juxtaposition in the context of discourse is created as he refers to the Europeans as “devils” and “pilgrims”, and the tone employed is never used in relation to the natives. Arguably, this not only challenges the imperialist hegemony but also reflects the modernist theme of destruction, as it “destroys” and challenges the dominant social hierarchy through its frequent critiques of imperialism.

experience social, cultural, and economic forces. It’s through educational that we first come to understand the structure of society and the ways that power relations permeate them. Educational systems are thus one of the most important vehicles for hegemony, the process by which a society inculcates and maintains dominant ideas by portraying as natural and normal.

His opponents could not work together at the beginning due to divergent values,…

Cosmopolitanism aims to dismantle essentialism and transcend individuals into hybrid entities where they can be ‘citizens of the world’ wherever positioned. These individuals live on the margins of societies; showing willingness to cross borders, interact with other people and nations, tapping into the cultures of other climes, accepting particularities, yet, holding on to their peculiar identity.

This pivotal event was a bellwether for change throughout the globe, with communist states falling like dominoes and ushering in a new era of the exceptional, indispensable US’ unipolar hegemony characterized by stability, the proliferation of interconnected market economies, and the spread of democracy -- all leading to eternal peace among nations. At least, that is what many of the euphoric denizens of the West thought. With a…
