In the Country of Last Things

which is placed first in Latin America. This is a country where everybody`s point of view and opinions matter. When we addressed Uruguay`s politics is impossible not to address the name Jose Mujica, their last president. His way of thinking was brilliant; that is why his ideas have had such an important impact in the international community. President Jose Mujica has stated one of the most brilliant presidential campaigns in the world in the last years. His ideas have touched all the…

was so tired of seeing such foolish things happen to our country. This is a great country. This is a great land. I have gotten to know the people of the country over the last year and a half that I have been doing this as a politician. I cannot believe I'm saying that about myself, but I guess I have been a politician. And my whole concept was to make America great again. When I watch the deals being made. When I watch what's happening with some horrible things like Obamacare where your health…

1. I do agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. These two countries claimed that whaling made up an important part of their cultural legacy and I feel that these countries have the right to preserve this cultural legacy as long as certain conditions are met. The conditions that I believe should be met are conditions such as the whales that are being hunted must be a non-endangered species of whale and…

painless and efficiently. Take that into consideration for a national state convention, you can’t just call for one and expect everything to run smoothly. It takes small steps in order to pursue great things. If the states were ever to obtain a convention, it would look like complete chaos. The last convention in 1787 was quiet, had closed doors, a vow of secrecy amongst the attendees, and people fighting for personal liberty. The Framers had different backgrounds and interest…

"Sometimes the World is Cruel" is a very interesting subject because honestly the earth is very cruel. The author writes about how hurricanes only wreck poor countries. For instance hurricanes don't hit the rich places but they hit places like Haiti. Waves are extremely powerful and take out houses and other important things. It always seem like the weather hits at the most inconvenient times. First off, We didn't get a lick of rain all summer long. When something very important came up like…

a gift is something along the lines of freedom, rights, and honor. If we didn’t have those, we’d be lost. “True freedom is tolerant. It gives people the right to live and think in new ways.” -John Twelve Hawks, The Traveler. Freedom is one of the things that many think of when they think “America”. Freedom is not free, however. America should always remember the veterans who fought to give us freedom. They sacrificed so much, and put their lives on the lines for us. I would like to thank the…

Today, when we open our mailbox the first thing that comes to our view is 50% off in some store or next visa or “0% APR till end of 2018” and many Americans consider these ideas, because the second refinanced mortgage payment is due soon. The total amount Americans spend each year amounts to nearly two-thirds of the nation’s $14 trillion gross domestic product (“Consumerism”). Today’s people are swiping away their values and culture all in the pursuit of what American history found upon:…

conservatively inclined, I have always believed in an international, multilateral approach to politics. In turn, I consider myself a global citizen, even though I am proud of my country. These two ideas do not have to be mutually exclusive because I strongly believe that strengthening international relations makes our country…

Created November 15th 1777 and ratified on March 1st 1781, the Articles of Confederation served as the United States first “real” constitution. This document stated that “the states remained sovereign and independent, with Congress serving as the last resort on appeal of disputes” along with making treaties, coining money and managing the military (“History”). Another issue presented with the articles was that size of the population per state didn’t matter, each state got one vote only. The US…

the people, but the governments as well. Many countries fell through economic despair-but what of Japan, the second largest economy? problems arose decades prior to the war, starting back in 1853, with the reopening of trade between Japan and America. Yet, Japan revived itself quickly after WWII. Did WWII help Japans economic growth in some way? In the year 1853, after reopening trade with America, Japan quickly realized they were not the strong country they had built themselves up as. This…
