In this week’s readings chapter 5 of H&S and chapter 19 of McCormick, the topic of both the various events of the cold war and the influences in the political arena are discussed. In particular both books talk about the various issues with the events of the hostages in Iran and the invading of Afghanistan by the Russians. The thing I found interesting was the concept of the hawks, doves, and presidential supporters. Not only is there relationship with foreign policies a major factor in the cold…
When I first went to the EMS info session I was excited, nervous and also very intimiated. I saw how packed the info session was and found out about the competitive application process. I will admit I was skeptical about my chances of being accepted but I gave it a try. When I recieved the email I was beyond happy because the EMTS mission statement about treating people with kindness and compassion resonated with me since I had a passion for volunteering and I pursued that in high school. But at…
Canada’s experience as an international relative has been a brief and recent development compared to many other countries. Due to the heroic efforts done in part by Canadian soldiers in World War One, Canada was gifted the statue of Westminster. This gift signaled the end of British primacy to our foreign policy, and crafted Canada’s foreign strategy that has been known around the world for many decades. Canada’s role in World War two to help aid in the fight of Nazism and Fascism played a…
Yes, I Do Work Like a Girl: A Real Issue of Gender Inequality in the Workplace Despite the recent debate over pay equality, the question simply boils down to: do women deserve to make significantly less than men do? Growing up in a educationally disadvantaged community I had always held the view that women didn’t hold management positions, however since enrolled in college my views have significantly changed. Many traditional cultures, including America, teach that men should lead in families,…

The empowerment is based on holding the elections along with deciding about the union for representing the workers with the employer bargaining. The employers are seen to feel that the Wagner Act has been completely one sided which is able…
Realism is a school of thought that emphasized foreign policy makers to focus on mutual interests in order to promote the coexistence of all societies (Dunne & Schmidt, 2014, p. 100). However realism has undergone many renaissances to come to promote coexistence of all societies.

marginalized are usually experienced in social events and public conventions. When people interact with each other in a group, they might sometimes feel alienated from the topic of discussion. Therefore, famous presenters can’t avoid these situations, either did Ellen Degeneres during her commencement speech in 2009. She couldn’t help but fail to appeal to everybody sitting in Tulane’s hall at the time. Ellen Degeneres’s message had directly alienated a social group of LGBT people who didn’t…
