In the mid 2000’s a U.S. military program, reminiscent of the Vietnam pacification program CORDS, was conceptualized. The program, named the Human Terrain System (HTS), was designed to aid the United States military in conducting counterinsurgency efforts with the help of social scientists. Many anthropologists were hired as part of the HTS program in order to bridge the cultural gap between American soldiers and the inhabitants of the Middle Eastern countries that the United States was…

official religion, but they essentially worship their leader Kim Jong Un. Just like the Jews believed that god procured miracles, the North Korean people believe that Kim Jong Un has procured miracles. There is a museum located in North Korea that took stories from the bible and simply replaced all the times God’s name was mentioned with Kim Jong Un. The North Korean state also claimed that Kim Jong Un made a flawless 18-hole golfing run…

Similar to the United States of America, France has a tomb dedicated to an unknown soldier representing all of the people who died in order to serve their country. This is visited by many civilians every day and has a wreath placed by the President. In Washington D.C., the President allows four students to place a wreath in honor of the soldier buried.

was fully involved in the Korean War, sending a countless number of men to support South Korea against the Soviet backed North Korea. When the war ended three years later, millions of people lost their lives. And for what, the Korean Peninsula is still divided today at the 38th Parallel.

It was one number I had never deleted out of my phone, mostly because I had waited for years for Stormy to call. Her mom answered on the second ring, “Drew?” “Mrs. Waters.” I answered. “I assume you’re calling about Stormy?” “Yes ma’am. We know that Cole has her.” “Yes…he does.” She replied, cooly. “You already knew that?” I asked in confusion. She laughed a psychotic laugh, “Of course we know, he’s good for her.” Rhett stared at the phone, a mixture of disgust, anger, and shock across his…

states that Kim started off his regime by eliminating any political opposition and portraying himself "as an embodiment of what he called a 'true Korean'. He did so by dictating the media and by releasing propaganda to his nation." Kim I'll-Sung first made the public believe that he was more than just an ordinary man, he then acquired control…

The Vietnam War was perhaps one of the most controversial wars in U.S. history. The United States had no objective in the war and did not make an official declaration of war. The war started through a series of events. Ho Chi Minh, the future leader of the Viet Minh, formed his own faction in order to drive off the remaining Japanese invaders from World War II and the new French administration. After Japan's' defeat in World War II, they retreated, allowing Minh's forces to take over power…

Americans became involved in the Viet Nam Conflict as a means to restrict or possibly stop the spread of communism. American law makers and political leaders feared that if communism was able to make its way to Viet Nam it would, eventually resulting in Asia becoming a communist regime.

Similarly, this is much of what lead to American involvement in Korea, though…

Asians immigrating to the U.S. occurred in three main waves, as a result of the different wars and treaties; each wave brought in new ideas and items with them. By the 1830s, Koreans started immigrating to Hawaii. They chose Hawaii as a place to live in due to the placement of plantations and settlements established by American capitalists and missionaries. In 1893, America took over Hawaii which led to many Koreans…
