United Kingdom – United States relations

Traditionally, museums are considered secular sites in which curators display art objectively; however, in her work, “The art museum as ritual,” Carol Duncan examines how museums act as powerful entities which influence the visitors’ perception through the display, organization, and architecture of the space. She elaborates that the museum’s authority actually enables them to represent and define entire communities, which consequently shapes the visitors’ perceptions of said communities. Perhaps…

I guess I am a bit clueless on what is going on around the world today. As I am reading up on the UK abandoning the European Union I am starting to feel this was not a good decision from looking outside in; before making that finally decision I am going to investigate what happened let’s start. First off what is a referendum? Apparently is a voting that took place in the UK on June 23, 2016 that decided if the UK should remain or leave the European Union. Considering the leave vote won by 52%,…

was drawn in the Treaty of Vienna in 1815 which created a new balance of power. For example, the Allies reduced France to her prewar borders and she had given up territories which was conquered by Napoleon I. Moreover, the Allies strengthened the states bordering France as a barrier against the renewal of French aggression.

White Privilege White privilege is the idea that whites have a particular advantage in society over the minority groups in terms of social, political or economic situations. White privilege advantages whites in many ways. The most important way I feel that white privilege advantages whites in that they may never have to worry about getting in trouble with the law enforcement officers over unnecessary things. For example, with the Sandra Bland case, the officer that arrested her was put on…

In a race there always has to been a winner. There will always be someone in the middle, at the end, and leading pack. This form of competition is similar to the way in which imperialist competition took place. The British were not immune to this competition, and if fact led the pack in conquering the uncivilized lands.

Arguments in favour of codification include: the increased stability this would bring to the constitution; it would bring an end to the possibility of ‘elected dictatorships’; citizens’ rights would be more effectively protected and the constitution would be judicable, allowing its provisions to be protected by neutral judges. On the other hand, there are counter arguments…

The news is full of truth and lies; it is up to the viewer to read between the lines. There are often arguments between news reporters and famous people, and arguments and points about good or bad subjects. The media can twist and turn the truth. There are many people with many different opinions. There is lots of controversy about gun control, racism, and border control. Gun rights are a big topic in the media.

In the 150 years before its colonies in North America, the British had maintained the unofficial policy of salutary neglect in which the British government turned a…
