Alexander Wendt (1992), in response to neorealism and neoliberalism’s assumption, claims “anarchy is what states make of it”. This differentiates constructivism from the neorealism and neoliberalism because…

However, there are many media reports which illustrate a completely opposite narrative, they indicate that the government has been taking many steps to stop this damage and these steps have even produced some fruitful results. Reports have mentioned that “to a large extent, land-grabbing in mangrove areas by unscrupulous builders in the city has stopped” because of the mangroves being classified as forests (McDermott n.p., 2011).

reality-based programing on television one form of citizenship training (Ouellette, 67). I agree with Ouellette’s article and in this essay I respond to her work by creating my own archive and argument, but focus on how beliefs about specific genders and neoliberalism are important factors in citizen training.
