The invasion of Iraq was not morally just as it was a preemptive attack on a sovereign state. While international law recognizes the use of preemptive military action, the same ought to be sanctioned by the Security Council (Devetak et.al, 2011). The invasion was devoid of this international law requirement thus a moral justification would suffice only if Iraq had attacked any of the invading country; which would make the invasion a just war. Again, religious groups, more so the Catholics opposed the invasion on the basis that it was morally wrong to use preemptive and unilateral military action (Fleishman, 2008). This lack ...

Kuwait, as a nation, has faced a number of successive revolutions, all led by the country’s youth. Despite its immense oil wealth, as the third greatest producing member of OPEC, Kuwait is small country. It has a total population of just 1.2 million people, and as a result is often overlooked on the diplomatic level. Moreover, it has a fragmented and complex political structure that can be challenging for outsiders to understand. So, Kuwait stayed largely out of the media, and international affairs, since it was released from Iraqi occupation in 1991, by Western armed forces. At that ...

The Arab Springs and Karl Marx’s Theory of Capitalism

Introduction
Sociology resonates around analysis and observation of social relations. It goes further than that and explains occurrences in life and their remedies.

Peace that people enjoy nowadays uninterrupted is, of course, not a new phenomenon. However, what is interesting is that the humanity has lived only several hundred years without warring for whatever reason could bring large armies face-to-face in a lethal confrontation for questionable reasons.

Thousands years ago, there was no such concept as a long-lasting peace, and the weaponry was a lot more different than it currently is, being used ...

Accounting for Change - Monarchism, Oil, and the Coercive Apparatus

A few years after the Arab Spring began numerous protests from Middle East countries emerged. Many protests have failed to challenge their political leaders. However, in spite of these disenchantments, a golden opportunity is provided by the Arab Spring. Unrests in Arab countries have been endless and the revolution of Arab culture has been gradual. The presence of oil wealth and monarchism has reduced the likelihood of an uprising through the establishment of barriers to protest escalation. Tunisia and Egypt have had protests against bad leaders. These actions have played a significant part in determining the survival of their regimes. On ...

The problem that the United States is facing when it comes to terrorism is complex. However, one of the key issues concerning the United States is the fact that al-Qaeda, its primary terrorism concern, is an enemy unlike others the United States has faced in the past. The United States has always gone to war with nations, or with recognizable groups; however, today, the United States is not at war with al-Qaeda; at least, it is not solely at war with al-Qaeda, although it is fighting al-Qaeda in a variety of different ways.

ABSTRACT

This paper examines some of the contemporary theory regarding rhetoric in the electronic age. It begins by considering the fate of English Departments faced with the much-vaunted ‘death of the book’, but quickly moves on to the weightier matters of the rhetoric of the visual and the consequent enfeeblement of rhetoric in the electronic age. It considers both the positive and negative impacts of digital media. It goes on to argue and eventually conclude that the deterioration of rhetoric (which it argues began before the digital revolution) and the homogeneity of the rhetoric of the visual is a deliberate policy ...

The systems that can adapt in reaction to unanticipated external disturbances and events during their operation are called autonomous systems . These systems have capability of self-adaptation, self-configuration, self-monitoring, tuning, and other kinds of adjustment without requiring external control input . Autonomous systems are also referred to as self-managed systems due to their independence from external controls. These systems are built such that their components satisfy the design intent in the presence of small perturbations, external disturbances, noise, or other environmental changes.
In realm of control systems theory, autonomous systems carry the similar concept mentioned above. Talking in terms of state ...

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Abstract

This paper considers the problems, such as how sexual harassment and flirting become interchangeable in a social context and lead to suppression of sexual harassment, when there are no significant definitions that delineate them.

By observations and collating anecdotal data, a survey of the factors that could potentially be regarded as crossing over the line of flirtations and treading on sexual harassment are listed. Offline and Online encounters are considered for this purpose. The paper finds ...

The Arab Spring which began in Tunisia snowballed and among the countries that were affected is Syria. However, the events in Syria hardly followed the same course as the events in other countries affected by the Arab Spring. This was because, in most of these countries, the clamor for regime change by the citizens resulted in the removal from power of their then leaders. This was the case in Egypt with the ouster of the then President Hosni Mubarak and in Libya with the ouster of the then President Muammar Gaddafi after an approximately six months civil war in ...

Romanticism. Introduction.
As many got tired of regularity and rationality of Classicism, people of art started to try to find a way to express their emotions and attitudes through methods more free from canons.

It considers the way that this act has influenced workplace policies in corporations, and the degree to which it has been effective. Following also considers the ways in which Title ...

In his story The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien ostensibly tells a tale about the war in Vietnam that, in actuality, is a mirror of the human condition exposed through the horror of human conflict. In so doing, O’Brien uses an old philosophical theme first set in writing by Aristotle. Through the angst of conflict, O’Brien succeeds in demonstrating the essence of being. Aristotle pointed out that to be complete in essence; a being must be “in the is, and in the is not” (Aristotle 1050). That is, a whole human is the product of both ...
