Following World War II, The United States and Soviet Union emerged as the greater powers. This created a tremendous rivalry between the two nations, which sparked the Cold War. While the cold war lasted from 1947 - 1991, and there were other extensive problems that were also going on during this time, such as the Korean War in 1953, as well as War, peace, and international tensions in 1962. The Cold War vastly affected American society by causing the fear of the spread of communism, as well as…

Women, in the United States are view as dominating-leaders. In Middle East, this is view as discontent among women with the extent of state. Muslim men view this as disobeying and interferences in personal relationships or with the disparity between their own status and that of being loyal and their position. How an individual display their loyalty to another group is a personal preference but once their opinion is force upon another group, according to Race & Ethnic Group Stratification (n.d.)…

governments. Most of this change has happened in the last 100 or so years for the United States government. Women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, gay rights as well as freedoms like free speech and freedom from violence and oppression and are just a few of the rights that have been granted by the government. These rights and freedoms do come at a cost, however.…

few groups or parts of the society. If the Magazine is not accepted by the majority of the Canadian people automatically it is the question of the sovereignty of the Canadian public in this case it will become a genuine concern. For instance, I remember in 1997, in my country one Magazine called “the Kinjo Magazine” was closed by the request of the people. The magazine was publishing on Women issues. But the actual content was out of the norms and values of the society, they were promoting…

Immigration in America and other countries is a very popular subject to talk about. It seems as though no one has the same point of view, and no one can agree which is the best way to integrate immigrants into society. Three writers, Andrew Cohen, Ruben Martinez, and Nell Irvin Painter, have all weighed in on this debate of immigration and given their opinion. While the participants in the debate about immigration share common ground over matters of fact and definition, they have not achieved…

worse than it was before. In the past the United States has provided those troops in order to implement democracy in the Middle East. The United States started the Iraq and Afghanistan War with the motive of trying to create and enforce a democracy in the Middle East. Even with the United States’ efforts, there are only two democratic countries in the Middle East out of the 17 countries in that location. Since the harms outweigh the benefits, the United States should not attempt to enforce…

The modern day United States and the Ancient Roman Empire are similar to one another in the sense that both permit for varied perspectives when maintaining their national identity. This is an example of how two thriving societies with similar but contrasting ideals can attain a common goal despite their subtle differences. The Ancient Roman Empire is known to some as one of the most accepting and inclusive societies. One might wonder how such an expansive society could maintain any sort of…

The refugee crisis has sparked an outburst in society. 2014-2015 has seen the worst refugee crisis since WWII, with 19.5 million refugees seeking asylum. Many citizens are debating whether to allow refugees within United States borders. Over one-third of all refugee arrivals, or 24,579, came from the Near East in 2015—a region that includes Iraq, Iran, Bhutan, and Afghanistan (American Immigration Council, para.4). In a study, 59% of Americans said the U.S. is at war with radical Islam, and 5…

mulato, and coolie, however, at the end of the day we all acknowledged that racially we are black. While in Jamaica, being black simply defined the color of my skin and my moderately proportioned amounts of melanin never dictated my standing in society, my educational background nor did it provide the preface to my story. It simply served as what I had believed was its purpose; give me a beautiful dark chocolate complexion, which I was extremely proud of as it meant that when I went to the…

Rome wasn’t built in a day The saying, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Has a special meaning for the United States. It is a country that was formed in 1776 and its people has experienced many events and changes that brought them to where they are today. Its society, culture, behavior and norms are developed through time and does not suddenly appear out of nowhere. Such as the events that occurred after the civil war, World War, the great depression, and Martin Luther King’s movement, all helped…
