A number of contrastive theories dominate American foreign policy operation, both in the present and throughout the country’s relatively brief history. Among them are exceptionalism, a long-standing, explicitly American ideal that lends us inherent divine purpose; expansionism, a desire to widen our borders and conquer territories, a prominent theme of manifest destiny; unilateralism, a freedom to engage with other countries without formalities such as alliances or agreements; and isolationism,…

only bring that question into further scrutiny, but also reflect the shifting cultural and social dynamics of France. In her book, Impossible Engineering: Technology and Territoriality on the Canal du Midi, Chandra Mukerji details a blow by blow iteration of what France, and specifically one French person (Pierre-Paul Riquet), went through on the campaign to bring the Canal du Midi into reality. Certainly, there were many practical and economical benefits for linking the Mediterranean to the…
To what extent and in what ways do The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, Goblin Market and Rebecca unsettle cultural definitions of gender and/or sexuality? Christina Rossetti, Daphne du Maurier and Angela Carter question and unsettle contemporary ideas of gender and sexuality respectively in Goblin Market, Rebecca and The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories. Each author, writing at different periods in history and therefore different eras in terms of both the women’s rights movement and the…
Why do we as a people fear monsters and similar entities? Throughout history people have created stories centered around monsters who would terrorize communities. These stories would be used to rationalize findings they couldn’t understand. These monsters were used to rationalize dieses, deaths and many other occurrences. These monsters still persist in stories today because over time they would evolve past what they stood for and would become symbols of our primal fears. There are many monsters…
classical values of the polis and the oikos, power earned through democracy and tyranny, and even the critical context of gender are used in the script to create a meaningful message about blood and power. As with all great works, Antigone has several iterations across a variety of media, the most relevant being Yorgos Javellas’ 1961 film of the same name. The film provides a similarly complex message about how our families can be challenged, and what the word family means in different…
Intelligent Architecture In her book The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand portrays the protagonist, Howard Roark, as an individualistic young architect who chooses to struggle in unimportance rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. The book follows his fight to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he considers to be superior, despite an establishment focused on tradition-worship. In the book Architecture's New Media: Principles, Theories, and Methods of…
Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of combinatorial optimization problems. X TSP is NP-hard problem which defined as a set of cities and each city should be visited once with minimum tour length. This paper solved this problem using Firefly Algorithm (FA) and k-means clustering by three steps: cluster the nodes, finding optimal path in each cluster and connect the clusters. The first step is to divide all nodes into sub-problems using k-means clustering, the second step is to use FA to find…
The movie Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is heavily based on the Shakespearian play Hamlet. The movie has many similarities to its source material; however, there are very noticeable differences between the two. These differences create two completely different interpretations of the events of the play: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead takes away the Shakespearian glamour and tells a more realistic tale. There are many similarities between Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead…
