This power has been realized recently, especially by President Obama, but we have yet to truly see it reach its full potential. Hip-hop has been around since about the early 1970s, but never had it realized its potential to effect politics until the 2008 presidential election. The starting point of this realization was during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This…
To fully understand the Iraq War, one must analyze the benefits of the war, fatalities of the war, and costs of the war. Is America winning or losing the war? How many soldiers did we deploy and how many died? How much money did we spend? Who is Saddam Hussein? How has iraq suffered from the war ? How has the U.S. suffered from the war? What did we really get? These are all questions the American people want to know, but can’t seem to find the answer too. The Iraq war was the reaction to one of…

Revolution. It is a small word with different variations across languages that strikes fear into the minds of all leaders, from fascist dictators to democratically elected presidents alike.
