The relations between the U.S and the Egypt relations has become a strategy of bringing peace to Israel. As a result, it has enabled Israel and Egypt to coexist peacefully thereby promoting the social ties between them.

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, its policy on international peacekeeping and peace-building activities has undergone significant changes. Initially, the Chinese government questioned the legitimacy of the UN peacekeeping activities. This situation was caused by the 1950-1953 Korean War during which the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China fought against the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping forces. Moreover, Beijing considered UN peacekeeping activities as flagrant interference in the domestic affairs of another state and violation of state sovereignty. This skeptical point of view was maintained by China even after the admission of PRC Continue reading...

I have read the chapters 10 and 11 of the book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order by Samuel Huntington - one of the most popular geopolitical treatises of 1990s. Since its inception up to the present time it causes an acute and a more active debate among specialists and scientists in the field of international relations: some agree with the provisions given, while others strongly criticize the book as an insufficiently grounded theory.
Initially, in order to understand the causes of the events that are taking place now, one should examine the book The Continue reading...

Introduction

International organizations are institutions that draw their association from at least three wiling states, having an active relationship with several other countries and its members bound by a formally signed agreement. These institutions are diverse; they can be simple or complex as to size, geographical location of their members, their purpose and structure. International organizations have long been established even before the occurrence of formalities needed for their foundation. During the period of Napoleon and earlier wars, IOs served mainly to preserve the state of affairs and protect the government from insurgencies. Today, states form international organizations not only Continue reading...

Existing as a practice that is too difficult to fully define with words, Zen Buddhism is, essentially, the art of self-realization and spiritual awakening. There are many things it is not, and yet it touches those aspects of life that cannot hold it, permeating every last thing as a basis for the understanding of why, how, and the patterns of life that enfold those who live within it. It is not a theory, a religion, or a belief, it simply is, and that remains enough for those who practice Zen Buddhism, that it remain what it is and not Continue reading...

Apartheid Wall

Israeli West Bank barrier serves as a separation wall between Israel and Palestine. The key argument for building that 700 km long barrier was Israel's intention to protect population from Palestinian terrorist attacks.
While building the wall, Israel did not observe Armistice Line or Green Line thus shifted its border to the west. Now it includes almost 10% or 600 km2 of the western side with Palestinian population on this territory. Though there are proves of the decrease in number of attacks committed on the territory of Israel, barrier opponents claim that the chief aim of this wall is Continue reading...

The relationship between the Second World War and the Cold War dates back to the First World War that brought unrelated countries together in a fight against a common foe. However, while each State tabled different reasons for fighting in the Great War, the causes of both World War II and Cold War stemmed from a single factor, the Germans. For instance, in the First World War, Britain declared war on Germany for its violation of Berlin’s neutrality while the United States joined the war in a bid to protect its economy. In that manner, the extent of Continue reading...

Oscar Romero was the Archbishop of El Savador (Latin America) and is popular as one of the globally recognized martyrs. Romero reigned at the peak of the cold war. The developing world became a key stage where the two ideological superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union played out their conflicts. In Latin America, people in the grassroots (through liberation movements) challenged the old totalitarian and corrupt regimes, calling for land reforms. Yielding to this pressure, the Catholic Church, which had traditionally sided with the wealthy ruling class, turned to amplify the voice of the poor, the lowliest Continue reading...

Ladies and gentlemen, the dream of every leader is to make changes that would leave a legacy behind that can be referred to in years to come. Some leaders make such dream come true while others, as fate always would have it, fail to make any significant changes in the society. In the case of Saudi Arabia, one of the most successful leaders is king Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. King Abdullah is one of the most committed leaders with clear focus in development of his country. Rarely would many countries get such a devoted leader who sees far beyond the Continue reading...

Introduction
The world today is focused on convenience and fast service. The communication systems have advanced significantly to send and receive messages in seconds or less. Shopping has become an indoor activity with rich rewards. Life is moving at extensive pace with little patience in the age of the internet. However, some factors haven’t changed. Discovering cures for diseases that threaten our senior citizens, namely senility or Alzheimer’s have remained a slow process. The medical community and the pharmaceutical industry still struggle to progress even at a reasonable pace. The question before us today is whether or Continue reading...

The Civil Rights Movement resulted in an upsurge of many leaders, and resulted in many social and economic changes that were the outcome of organized civil rights proceedings that were performed throughout the South of America by organizations and groups committed to eradicating segregation, and offering the African American community the ability to chase the American dream (Nelson, 2002). The most significant civil rights leader throughout this time was Martin Luther King Jr., and the greatest occasion that happened during the crusade was the struggle to advance equality and democracy in voting rights for Africa Americans, that intensified in Continue reading...

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most influential individuals in United States history. He was born on January 15th, 1929 and died on April 4th, 1968. His death was caused by a racist individual who was against equality. Martin Luther King Jr. contributed to the fight for equal rights and was an important person in the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. King’s contribution to the civil rights movement helped shape the equality that is seen today, and without him the struggle for equal rights would have continued. He believed that every person was equal and should not Continue reading...

“The most serious and unaddressed challenge is the deprivation and abuse of women and girls, largely caused by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and growing tolerance of violence and warfare.” (Carter,2014).
Jimmy Carter did not just speak those words. He lives by them. After sixty years of being active members of their church, he and his wife, Rosalynn, left the Southern Baptist Convention. This followed decisions by the leaders in 2000 to create further restrictions against women, including banning women from being deacons, pastors, or chaplains in the military. The Carters strongly disagreed with these Continue reading...

Different communities differ in terms of the clans in the areas. In most cases, the clans group themselves on the basis of the kinship. Nonetheless, the clans differ in terms of the cultural values and practices thereby making it easy for the other people to distinguish them due to the different characteristics. However, the same clans usually reside in the same geographical area hence easy to locate them. Most of the clans also differ in terms of the political affiliations and the politicians use the feature to their advantage. As a result, most politicians would befriend the clans with Continue reading...

1. The Allied powers officially ended World War I when they signed the Treaty of Versailles at the infamous palace of Versailles in the aftermath of World War I. John Maynard Keyes, a British economist, had attended the peace conference but left prematurely as an act of protest against the peace treaty itself. I found this unusual for a member of the Allied powers to react so strongly to a treaty that seemingly would benefit from the agreements made in it. Indeed, Keynes publically decried and critiqued the punitive nature of the Treaty of Versailles through his writings. He Continue reading...

The Qur’an passages speak about the life of being an Islam and faith in Allah. The themes or issues discussed in the passages tell the people about the real teaching of Islam, the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him), and the absolute oneness of Allah or the affirmation of the divine unity. A true Islam confesses that there is no God but God and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) is the last prophet. Muslims have the complete submission and obedience to the one and only Creator Allah, who is worthy of Continue reading...

On ‘Vermeer in Bosnia’ and ‘The Lives of a Flaneur’

If one would examine Aleksandar Hemon’s “The Lives of a Flaneur” and Lawrence Weschler’s “Vermeer in Bosnia,” the most glaring similarity is that they both recount the war in Bosnia and to such extent, its after-effects. However, if we were to go beyond what is obvious, we would be able to notice that both essays talks about the resiliency of humans in the face of extreme pressure. Hemon demonstrated this by what he saw after the war as well as through the attitudes of the people around him upon his return to Saravejo, Bosnia’s capital city. Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

Even though fascism touted itself as a movement based on national and social unity and homogeneity, the fractures within fascist totalitarianism as a result to religious, regional, economic, political, social, and cultural differences convey the dissonance between fascist practices and rhetoric. Robert Paxton locates fascism’s beginnings in a series of intellectual, cultural, emotional, political, social, and economic challenges unique to Europe in the early twentieth century (Paxton, 2004, p. 55). Fears over modernity, Bolshevism, and bourgeois indulgences converged with increasing nationalism, mass politics, and an eager youth. Though early fascist rhetoric indicated an aversion to capitalism and individualism, Continue reading...

Handelman (2012) observes conflict in the Arab world that separates secular nationalists and religious fanatics to tear apart the Palestine. Palestine has geographical and political divisions. The Hamas entails a radical Islamist movement that controls the strip of Gaza while the secular movement called Fatah administers the West Bank.
The United Nations that attempts to bring conflict resolution observes that each leader has an own political and ideology from the other. The Hamas along the Gaza strip has the commitment of establishing an Islamic dictatorship that will precipitate a war not in favor of Israel. Fatah at West Bank Continue reading...

The Role of Diplomacy and International Relations in the 21st Century

"Russia boasts it will maintain military superiority over the West until 2020 at least as it continues to add its nuclear arsenal despite recession” (Reuters and Khaleda Rahman, MailOnline. 30 January 2015).
The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945. The Soviet Union ( Russia was part of it) was one of the original signatories. Under the UN Charter, it stated two of the functions of the Security Council, “to maintain international peace and security in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations and to investigate any dispute or situation which might lead to international friction”.

The history of Western Civilization is usually taught within the context of the three major Abrahamic religious traditions, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. These three religions have greatly impacted society, for both better and worse. However, for these people living within the West, the many non-Abrahamic religions are usually ignored. The most popular ones are Buddhism and Hinduism, which are most frequently practiced in Asian countries. These religions differ from the Abrahamic traditions in that they are older and not based on the teachings of the Torah and ancient Israel. They do not have a strict Holy Book, and are Continue reading...

Different philosophers approached the concept of governance from specific angles. Specifically, Niccolò Machiavelli approaches this topic from the practical and cynical standpoint by implying, “any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good” (Machiavelli and Marriott 38). This statement can be interpreted as a recommendation to the leaders to refrain from good deeds in an intention to execute excellence. As Machiavelli considers, the majority of people are far from being good or are able to manifest excellence. Consequently, an individual, who managed to achieve a high level of moral excellence, will become a threat to others. Machiavelli advises the leaders to learn how not to be good and use knowledge only when it is required in order to retain authority (Machiavelli and Marriott 38). Machiavelli has a cynical approach to governance by claiming that good people usually lose to the wicked ones, as their methods and abilities are limited. According to this approach, bad people have a huge advantage over the good ones since they are able to do whatever it takes to attain their goals.

In this paper I am going to address the problem of terrorism. The theme itself is no longer innovatory or interesting, but I would present it from another angle. The issue of my research is new form of terrorism applied by the Russian Federation while invading in Ukraine and Georgia. This report aims to explain how new ways of terrorism, so-called ‘hybrid war’ may be conquered. Also I will provide possible solutions for peaceful settlement. In particular, I want to address the case of Ukraine, which has fallen subject to Russian aggression. This issue is controversial and interesting at Continue reading...

The concepts of self and self- reliance became most notable in New England in the 18th century when Puritans became interested in the acquisition of education more than anything else. The Puritans were keen on acquiring education so as to question some of the fundamental principles that governed belief in the existence of God. And it is through their quest that early literature documented the need for them to become self-reliant and to know and understand the self. At the time, life was considered a test that could either lead to condemnation or eternal success. Most written works of Continue reading...

The Artist Work
"The White Gunas" was an abstraction art developed by Isamu Noguchi. Noguchi is an American Born art; his artwork were most inspired by philosophies of the west and the east.

In the aftermath of World War II, the creation of a bipolar world emerged as the Cold War burgeoned. Winston Churchill, the prime minister of England, delivered a seminal speech—originally called “The Sinews of Peace”—that deployed the trope of the Iron curtain which discursively framed the world and dyadic fashion. He delivered the speech on March 5, 1946 in Fulton, Missouri at Westminster College. In this speech, Churchill publically recognized the chasm that developed between the Soviet Union and the United States, two former Allied powers. The Soviet Union possessed far different goals and objectives than their Continue reading...

The two movies present us 2 opposite points of view on this controversial issue. I learned that both Palestinians and Jews have the right to live in Israel, but both this nations cannot coexist. To some extent that is a failure of their leaders who didn’t manage to implement the partitioning plan. To me, Arabs seem to be more aggressive and intolerant. Both nations experienced hard times but Arabs are always reluctant to stop the war. Jews conquered the Israel, but they were not initiators of the conflict. Unwillingness of Palestinians to coexist led them to years of Continue reading...

Problems and Opportunities

Among the major problems hindering legal diamond trade, is the existence of diamond smuggling. The corrupt dealings allowing for the smuggling of “Conflict Diamonds” in countries borders have enabled rebels succeed in their malicious trade. The need to fund wars is also a major problem that leads terror groups into breaking the laws to enable their trade, which in turn funds their wars. However, the Kimberley process is a major opportunity for the elimination of the menace and restoration of peace in the afflicted areas.

Religion has always remained central to America's sense of mission both abroad and at home and to the national narrative. This observation can be transposed onto various geographical contexts despite the salient belief that religion and modernity are antithetical entities and belief systems (). The intersectionality of religion, law, and justice is nuanced and complex, especially within the context of modernity an in an increasingly globalized world. Indeed, the relationship between religion and law have profound implications for political, social, and legal issues that pertain to constitutional rights to the freedom of belief and religion as well as the nexus Continue reading...

Both Christianity and Hinduism influence a vast number of staunch followers across the globe with their unchangeable strict doctrines. The Krishna of Hinduism and the God of Christianity are both regarded as the highest unchallengeable deities with supreme authority and might. They are invincible, omnipotent and omniscient.

The English Socialist Party of Oceania (INGSOC) upholds to three slogans.These slogans are vital in understanding the real intention of the Party. INGSOC is only concerned with power and they will do everything to maintain such power. They tell the people that their goal is to create a utopian society and provide the three slogans as rationale that explains how a utopian society can be achieved.
The first slogan says “War is peace.” In 1984, the globe is divided into three powers: Oceania, Continue reading...

The Cuban missile crisis, which arose in 1962 almost brought the world to the brink of nuclear catastrophe. Mankind fully experienced the possibility of nuclear apocalypse.

Speech of Franklin D. Roosevelt on Pearl Harbor Attack

Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government Continue reading...

In most of missionary essays about the period of colonization of North America, the Iroquois and other Indian tribes were described as violent people who don`t even know about the civilization.
Many Indians were skilled artisans. They made pottery, baskets, wood carving, weaving of cotton and vegetable fibers. They traveled in small boats or by foot. The Indians also were brave and fearless warriors. Who were Indians or, as they are also called, Native Americans? How did they live and what were the differences between them and the Europeans?
Followed by Columbus, other Europeans gushed to the New Continue reading...

The war in Ukraine has ensued since April 2014. It raged for months until a ceasefire was reached between the two groups. The separatists on 5th September came to a deal to halt the violence and free the prisoners that both camps had kept. However, the ceasefire was never held entirely. During the relative lull, the two camps built their forces and for months, rebels tried to take over Donetsk airport from the government forces. Donetsk airport is a symbolic and strategic asset for the rebels. So far, the war in Ukraine has cost lives of many people. It Continue reading...

After the Uighurs rebelled against the ruling Gojturk Khagnate in 74, they established a separate state which held a significant importance for Turkic civilization. Initially, the Uighurs controlled a vast area and enjoyed considerable power in the region. They were mostly a warlike people; therefore, it did not take them much time to establish a strong foothold in the territory. They enjoyed power for quite a long time until their decline started in 839.
The Uighurs were defined as strong and sturdy people who were swift with horses and sharp in trade. Their vigor and strength posed a continuous Continue reading...

When outsides of Austin, Texas, or Texas in general, think of the state they often do not consider it a cultural or religiously diverse mecca. It might shock people living outside the state lines to learn Texas entertains and welcomes individuals of all different cultures and religions, allowing them to set up places of residence and worship. One such place is the Chua Linh Son Buddhist Temple, located on 4604 Duval Road, in Austin Texas. It is an ornate Buddhist temple, elegant, pleasing, and beautiful to the eye of any individual, regardless of denomination. Catering primarily to the Vietnamese Continue reading...

Sometimes it seems to me that it is hard to find more pious people than Muslims. Of course everybody who is not an atheist has his own religion, but it does not seem like everybody is so passionate about his faith like a Muslim is. The latter always seeks to intertwine in the utmost manner his life with religion letting it come into each and every detail of his daily routine. For me the answer to the question why a Muslim feels so passionately about obeying every word stipulated in Quran probably lies in what a Muslim tries to Continue reading...

Public speaking helps people to put forward ideas, and enhance social change within particular social circles. As such, an inquiry into the art of public speaking is a step in the right direction. The credibility of the speaker is crucial for the realization of the intended goal of a speech.

Cold War and the U.S. Diplomacy

Introduction

Amidst war and differences between many countries, there are many treaties that are founded to counteract them. And one of those nations that are very keen to this time of crisis is the United States. They have been experiencing so much aggressiveness towards many communist nations for the past decades. Many presidents are doing their best to pacify all of these wars through the establishment of treaties and doctrines between the opposing parties or just within the nation. It was known that the Soviet Union was a close ally with the United States Continue reading...

The military or in more formal terms, the armed forces, is an element formed by a country’s defense department that are equipped with and authorized to use lethal force, tools, and weapons to counter threats to the country or its citizens’ security and interests. A military, just like corporate or for profit organizations, is composed of not just one but rather a group of people, all working together to reach a goal or an objective. The military can be perceived as an organization that heavily relies on the management and coordination of human resources, among other assets. In Continue reading...

Upon listening a few times to Sowing the Seeds of Love, which is among the classic hits of Tears for Fears, one could easily pick up messages related to politics – mostly criticisms, that is. Although the song did not necessarily condemn specific political figures for their actions, Tears for Fears made it sound more like a general evaluation of politics – its effect on peace and the fight against apathy. The song itself, as one would find, is reminiscent of music coming from the counterculture of the 1960s – a time when political activism reached great heights, despite the fact that Continue reading...

Abstract

As stated by Ewing et al, Electricity demand has increased due to the increase in population, it has been estimated that that an average of fifty to seventy years are remaining of all the fossil fuels based on the current consumption rate. This figure is scary, putting into consideration that by the year 2050 there will be no enough power for the industrialized machine. Therefore some changes have to be made, and renewable energy is the Continue reading...

This essay is going to refute the Buddhist thought that women are incapable of achieving enlightenment without being reborn as a man. As we know, Buddhism has a very long past; from India it slowly moved east through the eastern countries like China, Japan and Korea (Andrews 1). As a religion that discusses peace and kindness, it has begun to awaken significant interest in the Western Countries. The thing that made it difficult for Buddhism to spread its teachings in the west is the dismissive attitude in those countries. Throughout its spread to many countries, it has changed and Continue reading...

In the literary world of fiction and creativity, reader audience often pays attention to the plot, development of characters, the presence of various themes and motifs emphasising the main purpose of the story narrated.

1. The Industrial Revolution(IR) was a period of sustained technological innovations and expansion in manufacturing processes in Europe from 1760 to about 1840.

Why IR began in Great Britain

Effects of IR

IR had both beneficial and dismal effects in Britain. Positively, it remarkably transformed business and commerce in Britain by contributing to the emergence of towns and urban centers. As well, it facilitated the efficient production of goods through less cost Continue reading...

Following the Age of Enlightenment, a new movement formed that was called Romanticism. Whereas the Enlightenment era was involved with political institutions and inherited intellectual authorities, the Romantic era was birthed out of a desire to shift from faith in reason to faith in emotion and the senses. The power and prominence of the imagination spoke of not only the devotion to self-introspection and self-discovery but also the idea that all is not as it seems. The sense of the mystery that has enlivened art and nurtured hungry souls was cradled in this era, where the individual and his Continue reading...
