Introduction Fukoku-Kyōhei, meaning “enrich the country and strengthen the military” quickly became the motto for a reinvigorated Japan stepping onto the global stage commanded by the West, while also acting as the mold for which they would inevitably fit through their rather abrupt transformation: The Meiji Restoration (Christensen 1). What may have ultimately began as an endeavor to modernize, may have also become the trigger for exponential societal change and an undertaking that would…
In my opinion, I agree with Seymour Martin Lipset, author of “Still the Exceptional Nation?”, that America is exceptional as it is “the world’s sole superpower.” (403) As Lipset mentioned, America is set apart from developed European nations for many reasons as America has exceeded the standards of greatness. America is an exceptional nation because our nation is dedicated to important principles such as human liberty and freedom in which all men are created equal and have equal rights. Our…
China has been running the world's largest and most successful eugenics program for more than thirty years, driving China's ever-faster rise as the global superpower. I worry that this poses some existential threat to Western civilization. Yet the most likely result is that America and Europe linger around a few hundred more years as also-rans on the world-historical stage, nursing our anti-hereditarian political correctness to the bitter end. When I learned about Chinese eugenics this summer, I…

The post WWII propaganda saw a strong link emerge between many political actions of the two superpowers and the fight to ideological supremacy, as the governments inadvertently campaign for public support of their ideology. Corresponding with the rising ideological pride, the pressure and threat of the enemy saw the governments begin efforts to use political movements to discredit the capability of the rival ideology. This ideological pressure clearly burdened both the American and Soviet…
Many different eras of communism were main components of being a threat towards America. The Cold War was a leader of this problem. It was a rivalry of the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted for years. This almost brought the world’s superpowers to disaster. It brought concerns that communists inside America might work as soviet spies and pose a threat…
above them. The older generation, as most do, wanted to cling to the lives they had during the Progressive Era. Where men spent most of their time working to provide for their family and grow the country that was quickly becoming the world’s next superpower. These cultural…

The United States of America is a republic government, ran by the three branches of government, executive, legislative, and judicial. They all have their own purpose and checks each other to have balance and makes sure what they’re doing is constitutional. The best president of the United States to my opinion is John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was the 35th president from January 20th, 1961 to November 21st, 1963. John did not get to finish his first term in office because he was assassinated…
