combative action makes America appear more threatening to other countries. According to “balance of threat” realism, countries that view a great power as a threat have a much greater likelihood of engaging in balancing against that threat (Lecture/Waltz 2000). And even though no country currently occupies a position with which it could engage in hard balancing against the United States, other nations have already begun to use soft balancing techniques against the US. Soft balancing in this case…

With summer comes many life changing moments for teenagers as they approach another year in high school.
