Fitzgerald summed this idea up well in The Great Gatsby by saying, “Americans, while occasionally willing to be serfs, have always been obstinate about being peasantry” (57).

International law is created through international agreements and treaties between states as well as normative…

In today’s time, the government has its sticky hands on pretty much anything and everything. They have control over more than I believe they should. From, spying on their own citizens through phones to controlling how much taxes that should be paid on every item. They also think that they should get a certain amount of a person’s earnings even if it is through the lottery. Although I’m only 18 and don’t know much about the harsh reality called life, I feel like the government has gone…

In 37 states, workers can't pick their own…

sent back to Mexico with little regard for their well-being or whether they have a credible asylum claim in the United States. Teens that had been apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents and sent back to Mexico. As soon as they arrived in Mexico they would contact another smuggler and try to cross again into the United States. The repatriation process between the United States and Mexico is merely window dressing that does not address the economic or family reasons that force children to cross…

strength to thwart actions conducted by other states and non-state actors, such as terrorists, and that IOs cannot exist in a multipolar world. Is this essentially correct?” My primary argument is, “The questionable successes of past international institutes are less effective in a new multipolar world, if they remain based on Cold War principles and goals.” In this week’s readings, John Mearsheimer concludes, “ that institutions have minimal influence on state behavior and thus hold little…
