United States Secretary of State

Britain’s foreign policy was the mistake that led them into becoming deeply entrenched in the First World War. This policy included over-extensive foreign intervention, militarism, and brinksmanship diplomacy. These same mistakes are being made by the United States in the current South China Sea dispute, and may have similarly disastrous consequences. Rampant foreign interventionism was Britain’s first mistake on their road to involvement…

chance of him winning. That man is businessman Donald Trump. He has changed the way politics are looked at for a generation. One of his main issues that he brought up in his campaign was that of trade. Throughout the election he talked about the United States was getting “screwed” while everyone else gets rich off of America. The keys things he wanted to do was do away with or renegotiate America’s involvement with international trades. Trump wants to renegotiate NAFTA with Canada and Mexico.…

Hiroshima wreaked havoc across the United States. While being in office for only three months before he had to make this decision, Truman knew it was going to be an important and life changing choice. Some people believe that it was one of the worst decisions he could have made. On the other hand, I believe that dropping the bomb was beneficial to not only then, but to today’s society as well. By dropping the bomb, it saved countless lives, strengthened the United States’ reputation, and…

“Before the Miracle case, a myriad of state and local boards of censors, invested with simple statutory authority to deny permits to films found offensive, had near life-and-death power over cinematic exhibition” Dr. Strangelove had it been made prior to the miracle case without question it would have been denied distribution. The focus on the US military as the core of the films satirical element over their Russian allies, even criticizing the United States to some extent portraying the top…

3. Racial Prejudice 3.1 Result of Pearl Harbour Evidence suggests racial prejudices played a part in Truman’s decision as well. The event of Pearl Harbour on December 7th, 1941, had led many Americans to be bloodthirsty and bitter for revenge. The Japanese were not viewed as human compared to the white race as a result of racial prejudice, and many Americans agreed with these thoughts. Although in American society there were references to Germans as “krauts,” and Italians as “tonies” or…

Even though a concert-balance strategy may prove cost effective, may increase cooperation among nations, and allows the United States to retain its world leadership role, I disagree with the author’s conclusion. These benefits will be short lived as long term they are not sustainable, because of cultural and ideological differences, different economic and political objectives, and the rate of leadership change over. The world after World War Two (WWII) has looked towards America for leadership.…

I chose John F. Kennedy for my project because he is big part of our history not just because he was our president but also because he was prepared in life he was always helping his father with his business. He was also a hard working man because he accomplished many things in his life. John was also honest with the people around him because without honesty he would accomplish as being a president. The people of the USA voted for him because he was honest and was committed to many things.…

needs to authorise strikes. All Labour MPs will come under pressure from local activists this weekend with emails already being sent to MPs claiming a vote for war will play into the hands of Isis and endanger British citizens. The shadow foreign secretary, Hilary Benn, speaking after Thursday’s shadow cabinet meeting, indicated he was leaning to support for airstrikes, saying there were “compelling”…

Lincon 's Gettysburg Address, Reagen 's speech after the Challenger Shuttle accident, and Wilson 's War message to Congress are all examples of how the times molded some incredibly powerful speeches that swayed the United States. Although Crisis are horrible things that endanger the United States, they often allow for the greatest changes. The examples of this are the speeches given after the only two attacks on American Soil; Pearl Harbor and 9/11. The day after each of these attacks the…

The conversation transcription used in this appraisal analysis is based on a phone conversation between a civilian named Mark Sanders (a 33 year-old white male in Connecticut) and the secretary of the Connecticut police department (a middle-aged white female).
