On January 29th, 2002, American President George W. Bush delivered his annual State of the Union address. At the time, the United States was still reeling from the aftereffects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks just four months before, and the world’s eyes eagerly descended upon the White House in anticipation of President Bush addressing the next phase of the government’s response to the acts of terrorism. The public searched for tangible goals and promises from the government, anything to quell…

America with deep sorrow I tell you this. America if we can see farther than others it is because we have stood on the shoulders of giants, and up here on those shoulders I can see 90 miles off the border and see Cuba there I see that the USSR has put nuclear missile parts there and more are on their way by ship. If we do not react I fear that the outcome will be not in our favor. The united states and the USSR have been in the cold war now and I fear that they will try to end the cold war here.…

In this trial, the question the court is being asked to answer is whether Alex Cooper was responsible for his own injuries. Throughout this trial, the law applied was negligence. Negligence is broken down into four parts: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Due to the nature of this trial as a civil suit, the plaintiff had the burden of proof, meaning the burden to prove by the greater weight of the credible evidence. On the night of October 5, 2012, Taylor Hamilton was driving his mother’s…

Religious Profiling Should the actions of a few reflect the ideas of the whole group? In the years since 9/11, many people in the United States have come to see all people of the Muslim faith as terrorists. This fear and religious stigma has grown since the introduction of the terrorists group ISIS or ISIL in the last couple of years to include not only Muslims but also people who look to be Arabic or of any race and religion that is close to these two groups. While many people believe it is…

The United Nations was created in the aftermath of World War II and served as a replacement for the ineffective League of Nations. The purpose of this intergovernmental establishment was to promote international co-operation and to preserve a firm foundation for peace. However, the United Nations is remarkably more than simply an organization that secures peace and resolves conflicts. It is engaged in an expansive array of work that focuses on improving the lives of many around the globe; it…

Moderators: Moderators are needed to keep children safe and happy. Without, moderators the children would be playing outside, in an empty parking lot, all by themselves. If one of them got hurt or a stranger came to play with them, they would not be able to comprehend the situation and figure what to do. With the help of a moderator, the children do not have that worry on their heads and can play peacefully. Times I have been a peacemaker: I helped solve a conflict between two of my friends by…

comprised these conflicts. Both conflicts had different goals. During the Gulf War of 1991, President Bush gave clear indication that the objective of Coalition forces was to evict Iraqi troops from Kuwait. No regime change was sought by the UN, NATO, or other partners. While rebellion in Iraq was encouraged (Text Pgs. 271-272), the Allies took no part in that fight. The war in 2003 had a direct goal of regime change in Iraq. In order to facilitate this attack, various reasons for action were…

The technological advancements that led to the atom bomb that won the war, also led to the Cold War. This cast a shadow over eastern Europe as NATO allies and Soviet Russia both puffed out their chests in an attempt to back the other down in some sort of primitive contest. It greatly pushed technology, and the men walked on the moon, but the Cold War on Earth continued. This pointless posturing…

In 1991 the end of the Cold War brought the bipolar international system of superpowers, United States and Soviet Union, to an end. Since this time international order has been filled with uncertainty, change, and chaos. Globalization is one reason chaos has been created in the international system. The terms of state relationships have changed. States now must be dependent on each other as events outside their state have more impact than ever before and require international cooperation.…

SCENARIO TWO: Lack of Substantial Changes In this second scenario, Europe will continue suffering the effects of the current crisis. Europe muddles through while continuing its fight toward banking and fiscal integration. In other words, the European Union will keep doing business as usual where the European Institutions will keep doing very little to resolve crisis with increasing chances to respond too late to some emergencies. In this future scenario, the southern European countries will…
