of two states choosing to either cooperate or defect (Jervis).

Neoliberal Institutionalists changed the nature of the game by assuming participants can communicate and multiple rounds can be played. In this scenario, it becomes evident that the most beneficial outcome for both parties can…

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah', was a genocide in which approximately six million Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime and its collaborators. Some historians use a definition of the Holocaust that includes the additional five million non-Jewish victims of Nazi mass murders, bringing the total to approximately eleven million. Killings took place throughout Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories. From 1941 to 1945, Jews were systematically murdered in a genocide, one of…

proud of my country. “I don 't like to brag, but we 're kind of proud of that Ragged Old Flag.” The things that make the flag “ragged” is from what we have been through and we shouldn 't have any shame in that.

and events brought about the Cold War? The United States and the Soviet Union were destined to face conflict, for they were “Born of a common foe rather than common long-term interest, values, or history…” (Foner 887). One of the main influences of this conflict was the differences in ideologies, for both the Soviet Union and the United States “…claimed to be promoting freedom and social justice…and each offered its social system as a model the rest of the world should follow” (Foner 888).…

including a special dialect of the Yiddish language. Lithuanian Jewry played a profound role in many Jewish ideologies, including the Jewish workers' movement. Before World War 2 the Jewish population of Lithonia was some 160,000, about 7 percent of the total population (Abramovich and Zilberg, 2011).

Through the unfortunate occurrence of events after this global atrocity, fear became the driving factor in the annihilation of millions during the Holocaust. Hatred and resentment are bred through uneasiness and doubt. Paired with the absence of hope for Germany to reemerge as a world leader, civilians focused their blame on long-hated…

movements of the Sixties were global. The “long 1960s,” the period that stretched from 1954 to 1975, followed the second World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world. People could be interconnected, especially as new technologies could communicate liberal philosophies across the globe. White students living in American cities could read “Third World” liberation theories and find applicability in their own self-styled liberation movements. 1968 in particular was a…
