United States Foreign Service

When the war ended three years later, millions of people lost their lives. And for what, the Korean Peninsula is still divided today at the 38th Parallel. Veterans of the Korean War do not deserve to be forgotten, but remembered for service of protecting people in a foreign country. Soldiers today risk their lives to protect America, but Korean War veterans defended a country housing people they never met. This takes a different level of courage, generosity and selflessness. A memorial is not…

controversial issue in the United States. For a war to get public approval, the government has to successfully justify the war and lay out a clear plan for its quick and honorable end. Most wars have been justified as being for the defense of the United States or its interests.

This process is enumerated in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. A state…

that these decisions were very self-interested by the elites of the governments, and were made on behalf of personal monetary gain by the wealthy. I found some statistics that support my argument that Latin America was much better off before the United States jumped in, and the choices made by a newly elected official were to his benefit, not to the benefit of the citizens. When looking at something very important like the annual GDP growth rates some numbers stuck out to me such as, according…

opinion on a specific topic without having knowledge that pertains to each side. With this in mind, it is only logical to apply a comparison between Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States and Larry Schweikart’s a Patriot’s History of the United States.

Putting together the two definitions "global citizenship" would mean, the legal right to belong to a particular country, here the whole world and the state of being citizen (of the world), and accepting the responsibilities of it. Well, that was easy, at least theoretically, it was. But moving…

The disappointment ultimately motivated Americans to adopt the new policy from isolationist. Isolationism is the foreign policy position that a nation 's interests are best served by keeping the affairs of other countries at a distance. One possible motivation for limiting international involvement is to avoid being drawn into dangerous and otherwise undesirable conflicts. The United States didn’t want to make the same mistake as it did when it decided to join the World War I so it was…
