For these actors, their respective cultural and political perspectives often dictate involvement. In this essay, I argue that domestic and international actors have conflicting goals and differing strategies for the reform of perceived rights violations based on the cultural and political climates of the countries…

When you think of Ashton Kutcher you think of comedy. When you think of Rosa Parks you think of Civil Rights. When you think of Michael Jordan you think of basketball. When you think of John Paul II you think of religion. Did you know that all of these people were involved in Greek life? I just made you a little more interested in Sororities did I not? Several tactics, including recruiting, crushing misconceptions, giving fascinating facts, and sharing personal stories, are used by Greek…

To join a sorority, the potential new members (PNMs) have to gain entrance into the organizations. The idea of gatekeepers is seen in sororities. This entrance revolves around the existing members give approval to the potential new members (Stuber 2011). While some sororities say that not everyone can fit into their sorority, they also claim to be diverse among themselves (Handler 1995). The process to gain entrance to a sorority is sorority recruitment, where the sororities allow new member to…

6.8 billion dollars a year. 6.8 billion dollars a year going to an ineffective, unnecessary, and expensive program. The United Nations is ineffective, because it does not uphold its promises. It is expensive because we spend 6.8 billion dollars a year on a failing program. Lastly it is unnecessary because countries already have their own resources and programs. We should abolish the United Nations because it is needless, unproductive, and expensive. The United Nations is unproductive…

Nations (UN) Security Council, in 1999 failed to authorise actions to spot or curb “ethnic cleansing” in Kosovo. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) took the responsibility to do an aerial bombardment without permission of the UN Security Council which caused a rift in the international community because some saw it as a violation of the prohibition of the Use of Force. Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the UN, recalled the failures of the Security Council, in his Millennium…

Sororities, also known as “fraternities for women” started to form in the 19th century when students began secretly meeting to discuss and deliberate material that was considered inappropriate to universities. Gamma Phi Beta was the first organization to use the title “sorority”, although there were other groups that followed similar traditions. The creation of sororities was a symbol of women putting their foot down to social customs and the opinion that they were less equal to men. This…

world order. A solution to world order is difficult and there are multiple issues that have not been solved by the principle of the Responsibility to Protect. The lack of political will and power of the Permanent 5 in the United Nations Security Council are issues that still impede the effectiveness of the principle of R2P and the United Nations ability to promote and maintain world order. these issues have been prominent in the use of R2P towards the Syrian civil war. This issue is not a…

at a time”(Lyndon B. Johnson). The United Nations was founded in 1945 by 51 different states including the United Kingdom. The UN was formed to unite the world and establish world peace.

Since its foundation in 1945, the United Nations (UN) has served as the centre of international diplomacy in the hope of ensuring world peace, protecting human rights, and providing humanitarian aid. Australia, being a key ally during World War II, was among the establishing nations and has played an active role in promoting UN interests. While the goals of the UN are noble from a moral perspective, the existence of a global authority has significant implications on national sovereignty, the…
