Liberal International

argued that the main cause of war was states’ failure to cement and grow economic and political cooperation. Radical-liberalism pinpointed the internal/domestic conditions of a state as the root cause of war, while also supporting the expansion of international law and free trade. Meanwhile, Socialists saw capitalism was the primary cause of war, and were divided between the revolutionist and the reformists, with the latter gaining more popularly as it merged with radical-liberalism. As a…

truth, not its efficiency, which is significant. Based on this, Henry regrettably says, "If Fundamentalism ceases to 'work' we have imported into it elements which violate the innermost essence of Christianity" (57). The inability of contemporary liberal Christianity to answer the important social ills has exposed its untruth. The threat Henry perceives for Fundamentalism is not its untruth—he strongly believes it to be the upholder of truth—but its actions when it finds the truth: "The problem…

statement to understand, nonetheless. America would not have a purpose if it were not for trying to seduce other countries into its way of thinking. Wilson’s Fourteen Points would eventually go on to creating a nation “committed to the principles of liberal democracy and free enterprise...the values distinguishing the United States itself (Bacevich, 11). Bacevich argues how that same Wilsonian paradigm is still present in our society today. After the catastrophe of September 11, President George…

way in which a government deals with other governments and is typically a reflection of that nation’s interest or the values of the people. For this reason, there is often quite a lot of debacle over foreign policy, changing when there is either a liberal or a conservative administration. There are two primary approaches to dealing with foreign policy, realism and idealism. Realism is the idea that national interest and safety is put above moral principles whereas idealism is the idea that…

The benefit to studying at a liberal arts college is that it “ is not intended to prepare or certify students for specific employment after graduation” (Whitney 347). Since studying at a liberal arts college nourishes one’s ability to think in general, students are more apt to excelling in the career field. With “integration of the traditional liberal arts with the pre-professional training” (Baker 254), many employers favor students with a background in the liberal arts since they are well…

Immanuel Kant, assumes that the international system is anarchic but also believes that peace is possible for peace through cooperation. Liberals believe that the international law "is a way of structuring "patterns of individual and group interaction in transnational society, patterns which, in turn, create interests that make up and constrain state action," (Burly, 1993-230). Liberals also stress the importance of liberal values, such as democracy, within the international system. In light of…

perhaps the most quoted phrase from Aristotle’s Politics despite the observation that the context in which this claim was made has not always been properly understood. Recently, however, frustrations with the lack of political participation in modern liberal democracies have contributed to renewed interest in some of Aristotle’s ideas—namely, democratic theory. Throughout chapters 9 to 13 of Book 3 of Politics, Aristotle provides an empirical assessment of democracy’s strengths and limitations.…

The article Don 't Drop Out by Kern discusses the topic of dropping out of college. According to this author, the main claim is to NOT quite college and to stay in school. Kern has many pieces of evidence in his article that support this claim. He believes that you will have a harder time learning new things in an environment outside of college. He specifically states that "the most valuable courses don 't prescribe what to learn, but how to learn" Kern also states that most of the important…

First of all, the most important academic skill I have developed during English 111 is my writing. In the beginning of English 111 my writing was quite inadequate, “To use what they have learned from their Liberal Arts Education”. My example sentence lacks explanation of who is using their Liberal Arts Education. Therefore, making it much more difficult for the reader to understand who I am writing about. However, after a great amount of help from the students/faculty of English 111, I have…
