Political apologies are sometimes described as “acts of recognition”. What is being recognised and what political purpose does this recognition serve? Is it too late now to say sorry? Apology as a method of addressing past injustice has become a global phenomenon, especially since the end of the Cold War (Smits 2008; Borneman 2005; Lazare 2004).

But as a piece of propaganda, it’s the greatest thing ever written about Israel.” In order to support this assessment, I will prove that Exodus has negligible rhetorical value and functions…

awakening of what the world is truly capable of. In Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor was Divine: A Novel, we read about the events involving two children and their parents who are harshly adjusted to the reality of Japanese Americans during their internment during World War II. Otsuka uses symbolism of the color white to reveal the change in the characters’ lives compared to how they previously lived, ultimately revealing how much of an impact the world can have on a person.…

How things changed after World War II World War II started with a healthy list of rich powerful countries. At the end of the war only two so called super powers were left. The United States did not want any part of the war effort originally. The only program that was in place was the Lend-Lease Act which was put in place to provide relief to free countries to help bounce back from what the war was doing. This essay will cover why the United States joined the war and how the war was ended.…
