1979 and give an overview of the 2011 NATO-led “Humanitarian Intervention” (Intervention) in Libya. I will examine the stated motivations behind the NATO-backed Intervention that ultimately resulted in regime change. I will explain President Barack Obama’s motivations to move forward with the intervention, as well as his current state of mind on Libya. In addition, I will explain Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s motives at the time of the intervention, and then her reasons as revealed in her recently released emails, as well as her recent thoughts on the matter. Similarly, I will show the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister David Cameron’s interests in joining in the NATO-led coalition and the motivating factors that France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy felt were appropriate to achieve through the use of the Intervention. Furthermore, I will provide an analysis of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine that the UNSC invoked to authorize NATO allies to intervene militarily in Libya’s affairs under Resolution 1973. Finally, I will provide insight to the current state of affairs in Libya to provide a clear contrast to the situation prior to the NATO coalition. In conclusion, I will explain why I feel that those involved in Operation Unified Protector are responsible for Libya’s current humanitarian catastrophe, destabilization, and the killing of Gaddafi, and the evidence that led me to that conclusion.

Joan Scott’s book Politics of the Veil assesses the implications of the French government’s ban on clothing and religious signs, in particular, the wearing of veils in public schools. In the book she discloses the French government's argument for banning the headscarf which she contends with her own assertion by exploring factors such as racism, postcolonial guilt and fear among many other things. In my study, I am particularly interested in exploring the contradictory nature of the ban as it…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to France? Try all the delicious foods see all the amazing sights. I’m going to tell you all about it. First I’m going to tell you about the geography of France. France is the largest country in western Europe. It is made up of high mountain ranges that separate it from Spain, Italy, and Switzerland. And it’s a large flat plain with several rivers. The rivers were mostly navigable (maneuverable or crossable) and they are also wide and deep…

The Diary of Anne Frank, by Francis Goodrich and Albert Hackett, parallels to “Shooting Attack on Paris Newspaper,” by Tara Fowler and Peter Mikelbank, showing hope and strength in dire circumstances through the unity of victims in suffering, the ability to stay true to one’s self, and the determination to survive oppression. The citizens of Paris and the occupants of the annex unite in suffering, enabling the reader to see the strength it provides for them. After the shooting of 12 people at…

In the beginning of the film, we meet an 18 year old, French born Muslim girl. Her and her family live in the outskirts of France, which is home to many immigrants. Her parents came to France from Morocco. She is a top-achieving student at her school. She has been rigorously studying for her test she must take to attend upper level school. She is passionate about her studies, and plans to do great things with her education. We begin to learn, in this film, that hate crimes against Muslims were…

Step in the Arena I suppose it was only a matter of time until we were presented with Luke’s origin story, but I appreciate the show’s forethought into giving it such a well-timed placement within the overall narrative. By waiting until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action…

things that I enjoyed at the museum and to pick one favorite would do the museum injustice. I enjoyed the beautiful building that the artwork is held in, the ease and accessibility of all the artwork, the friendliness of the people working within and the cost. The only negative thing I can possible say is that there is just not enough time in one day to absorb everything that MIA as to offer and I wish I would have had three solid days. OBJECT ANALYSIS # 1 IDENTIFY: The first artwork I have…

misdemeanors through the guillotine. Hitler and the French Revolution demonstrate that human nature is inherently good, but due to the high standards of society, the attainment of power immensely grows to the extent of corruption. Even in modern times, corruption through power is prevalent, transforming the purest of people into mad tyrants. Nicolas Sarkozy, lost the re-election to Francois Hollande due to the myriad of negativity that exemplified his presidency in France. Sarkozy, prior to his…

France was forced to an armistice with the Germans after they were invaded in 1940. Charles de Gaulle fled to England and made the Appeal of 18 June against the armistice pleading for the French to continue to fight and not give up their independence. General De Gaulle stated, “It may therefore be said that this armistice would not only be a capitulation, but that it would also reduce the country to slavery. Now, a great many Frenchmen refuse to accept either capitulation or slavery, for reasons…

In an observational analysis Béatrice Fracchiolla did of “the televised debate between Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy, which took place on 2 May 2007” (Fracchiolla, 2011) to see whether the different genders of the two candidates had any effect of how the debate went. In her analysis she stated that both candidates used different strategies in their efforts of attempting to interact with each other as well as winning the debate. According to Fracchiolla Sarkozy’s strategy consisted of being…
