Early research notes that discrete signs in the family drawings by children ages 5-7 years are significantly related to the quality of relationships with caregivers (Main, Kaplan, & Cassidy, 1985; Fury et al., 1997). Discrete signs include the location of…

The most significant threat to the National interests of the United States are traditional state-based, as no other threat has potential to derail our way of life. With state-based threats being the greatest threat to National security, policymakers must first approach international relations from a realist perspective.
