see. A university is a business and it should make good money. A good business does not simply raise costs for certain people to make money, but a good one has things that a person seeks. The problem many face as international students at Arizona State University is a higher-than-normal cost of attendance. This proposal will try to create a way to fix this issue while helping both the university and overseas students to save money. At stake here is international students in the future fleeing…

The United States is a country that is founded by people from outside of this land. Throughout the history, people left home to come to this country with different reasons, but all aimed for new opportunities and a new life. The pilgrims came in the early 1600s, the African slaves were forced to come in between 17th to 19th century, then people from other parts of the world came as well. Up until this day, there are still people coming into this country with different reasons. People came for a…

This chapter concentrates on the history of America during World War I. It opens with a definition of Woodrow Wilson's concept of a moral foreign policy through what he called "liberal internationalism." Promising to bring the Progressive agenda to the world, Wilson fell short and the war forced Americans to once again debate the true extent of liberty. Quickly looking at the foreign policies of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, the chapter embarks on the road toward war. Wilson…

In December 20, 2015, Ms. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was crowned the Miss Universe 2015. After being questioned on her opinion about the United States having a military presence in her country, she stated that she does not see any problem with it. Her pro-U.S. military presence response elicited strong reactions that baffled some politicians, leftist leaders, and activists who are against U.S. military presence in the Philippines. The debate of having U.S. military bases and/or…

Compromise, and lastly the Executive Branch Compromise. The first issue people debated was how many votes should each state get in Congress. The two sides in the debate were the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan said that the number of votes per state should be determined by population, meaning states with higher population would have more votes in Congress, and states with less population would have less…

recapture even a hint of its former glory. It can be argued, however, that of all these imitators none came as close in spirit as the United States of America. But while America’s adoption of Roman ideologies helped it mirror the latter’s rise to power, disturbing parallels are coming to light between the state the Roman Republic was in before its fall and United States today. The similarities between America and Rome stretch back to both nations’ beginnings; both were formed in revolution…

is a toxic mix and one that Obama, though forever famous as America’s first African American president, looks powerless to tackle. There is an urgent need to bring a proper gun legislation act which could prevent the widespread gun violence in the United…

Electoral College really does. What I found was that everyone in the United States doesn’t really vote for the president they want directly. It’s a process and you as a voter is the very first step. The next step is what you are really voting for, which in this case you are voting for an elector, or in other words, your representor.…

another. For example the transition from House of Representatives to the Senate (weeks). Incumbents are also only favored by public opinion and re elected based on “name recognition” and “party affiliation.” Historically the incumbent is re elected 90% of the time. If term limits were in place “name recognition” would not be such a weighing factor. On the topic of term limits being unconstitutional, the president of the united states is restricted to two terms by the twenty-second amendment,…
