and alliances, are still causing conflicts today. One example pertaining to the issue of competition for territory that is prevalent today is the issue of arctic sovereignty. The countries who are involved in this issue are Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway, and Denmark. All of these countries are anxious to claim the rights of the arctic waters mainly because of the rich oils and natural gas reserves that are located there. The geological value of these waters is equally significant as…

For sixteen years, the issue of Islamic terrorism has continued to be an important social and political issue in the United States. Ever since the drastic event that occurred in September of 2001, a massive fraction of Americans have expressed their bias against Muslim communities. Although it has openly been made aware that militant Islam exists and is intended to be spread to America, its citizens tend to resort to ignorance of Muslim people and their intentions. With America’s focus on…

to be the president of the United States, some people credit this time in history as the day racism died. They believe if Americans can elect a black person to run our country, racism against black people must be something of the past (Brunners, 2015). Almost immediately after becoming the president-elect, he started receiving threats and hate mail, purely because of the color of his skin (Neiwert, 2016).

between states as well. I will focus on regime-type, geographical proximity and military capabilities. The authors have their arguments against CoC theory supported by research findings. I find the arguments against CoC theory largely convincing. I find the geographic proximity argument against CoC theory convincing to a large extent. According to the authors, conflict is more likely to occur between states of close geographical proximity, or share border contiguity than between states of…

corrupt. “The Taliban have been trying to destroy our tribe, and they are taking money from us, and they are taking our sons to fight,” said Malik Niaz, a Shinwari elder. “If they defy us now, we will defeat them.” Many issues here because the United States commanders believed this tactic was going to help win the fight against the Taliban fighters.

In the modern United States of America, all people of all races are to be treated equally under the eyes of the law. There are no “separate but equal” schools, water fountains are not race specific, and anyone is allowed to sit wherever they want on the bus, no matter the color of their skin. Although these things seem obvious today this is not how America always was. These dramatic changes to our society came about in the mid-nineteenth century during the civil rights movement. This peaceful…

The Warrior Prophet of the Early Islamic State History is constantly changing. Every second something is added to history’s never-ending story. However, within this time certain civilizations and people stand out. I believe that the Prophet Muhammad sticks out as someone that tremendously impacted the early Islamic civilizations. He is most commonly known as the founder of Islam. But not only was he a religious leader, but he was also a military and political leader. All great leaders start…

importantly, the Islam religion in no way promotes terrorism. According to the Islamic view, “The world is divided into two parts, the sphere of Islam and the sphere of war. It is called the sphere of war because jihad (“holy wars”) are to be fought in the non-Islamic world so as to convert the pagans…” (Islam 140).

considering Islam and Muslim cultures (Varisco, 2009). Many have associated the religion of Islam with terrorism and have target and profile those who follow the religion. In recent months, incidents of Islamophobia have become common. In numerous occasion Americans are caught on camera screaming and harassing individuals mainly women wearing their traditional head scarves. Sadly, Americans have killed more Americans than any terrorist group since the events of 9/11 in the United States, and it…

The two greatest enemies of Communism are Christians and Islams. Communist send Muslims to America just to stir things up. Then, they use these people to infiltrate and become leaders. The head man of the Al Qaeda was trained by the KGB, a communist group. The Russians use radical Islam as a cover. Communism and Islam are twins. There are two goals that communists want to accomplish to take out religion. The first step is to take out Christianity…
