The most significant cultural result of the War of 1812 today is the American attitude regarding the military for purposes of economic and national security. Previously, the Americans had been distrustful of a strong military believing that it would be subversive towards the republican institutions. However, the1812 War called for the re-evaluation of the republican tenets as the conflict became a revelation that a formidable force was the precursor for the common prosperity (Hickey, 2012). Following the War, the primary duty of the subsequent regimes gradually became the need to place the safety of the nation by adopting an ...

Improvement in fire suppression systems has been the focus of not only the construction industry but also by fire risk management agencies (Liu and Kim, 1999, p.32). This is the reason why experimental and computational modeling studies were used by Liu and Kim (1999, p.32) to not only validate fire tests but to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of fire suppression systems. Computing for water spray characteristics includes ventilation conditions of the area, droplet size, and flux density (Liu and Kim, 1999, p.32).

Arrogance and ignorance may be called the twin causes of the American Revolution. Trace and discuss the ways in which the British lost their American colonies. Why were the British unable to retain the colonists’ loyalty in the period leading up to the Revolutionary War? The rapid economic growth of the colonies encouraged them to free themselves from the constraints posed by England in the fields of trade, industry and land use. Colonies wanted to get rid of the taxes imposed by the British government. Despite all this, in the 60’s of the 18th century colonial oppression increased. ...

Introduction

Since the end of the Great Wars, the US hegemony has remained superior than other countries and it was clear no one would be able to challenge their dominance in the fields of politics and the economy.

China has become a very powerful country that influences the development of the regional and global economy.

Introduction

Nowadays world’s ‘multipolarity’ creates the great conglomerate of interests and world views, which are of great importance, when they arise on the international arena. According to the main principles of the UN, they are to be respected and balanced so as to achieve so-called sustainable development. Otherwise, the consequences could be rather negative for the rest of contemporary multipolar world. According to Mearsheimer, multipolarity is more likely to cause potential conflict dyads, that the previous bipolar world, when the conflicts could be generally caused by two great existing powers (Brown, 1998). That makes the study of the causes ...

In this case, the experiment will be carried out on children and therefore a number of challenges will arise as regards consent due to their incompetency in making decisions on their participation in the research. As a precondition to acquiring consent, an independent review of the associated potential risks and benefits will be necessary (Hickey, 2007). Following an independent review of risks and potential benefits with a positive outcome, consent of participants will be sort. Due to a lack of cognitive powers and experience that would enable a meaningful understanding of medical treatment on the part of ...

For a long time in the American history, political freedom and peoples’ wants have been in constant conflict. Among the first American political parties include the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists. These two political parties were in opposition to each other’s ideologies. Both of them had different policies and ways of governing the people. Whereas the Federalists were preferential to a central government that was strong: with the capacity to take control over the trading activities, make agreements, collect taxes, and declare war, the Democratic-Republicans tried to regulate the national government responsibilities, giving preferentiality to local control.

Violation of the Russians right to free and fair elections (article 21 of the UDHR)

Human rights are evidently postulated in the entire body of international human rights decree and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They form the heart of many national constitutions because they are renowned and endorsed by many countries. Human beings are entitled to a free and fair election (United for Human Rights, 01).

For the past couple of months, several news organizations are reporting China’s astounding economic growth and subsequent mobilization in the Asian region which is both alarming and impressive for many experts. Their economic growth is astounding for the very fact it proves China is still an economic powerhouse even in today’s world given their history as the world’s first traders. On the other hand, however, the mobilization of its forces around its “claimed” territories is alarming because of the possible implications that China is now getting ready to overthrow the United States as the dominant force ...

Since ancient history, China’s capability to be a dominant and influential actor in the world had made itself known as it grew as one of the oldest and influential civilizations to exist even in the modern world. The Chinese had introduced Eastern culture to the West and brought the West and the East together as they were one of the earliest traders and scholars. Throughout the times of the Great Wars, it is visible China did not make a significant role and have mostly concentrated on its own affairs regionally. However, in recent years, many are now noticing China’s ...

The invisible dragon was originally published in the year 1993. It was supported and championed by he artists because of its forceful call in reconciliation for beauty. It was also savaged by many of the theoretically oriented critics who saw the concept of beauty as naïve. The critics ignited a debate that showed no sign of flagging. In the present edition, the writer Hickey tries to fan the flames (Hickey 37). He writes with emphasis on more manifestos to stir up polite discussion. He also elaborates more on calls for action than the former aspect of criticism. The ...

It might seem strange that a lot of Americans are not even aware of the second war for independence (that is the other name for the war of 1812). However if we think about it, one can find quite a few reasons that have caused such ignorance among people. The war of 1812 has a very compound roots, extremely confusing course, and in addition to all of it the outcome of the war is also hard to understand, as both sides consider themselves to be winners. The war happened during the so-called stagnation period in the history of the US, the period ...

The definition of serial killers is highly debatable as some find the need to distinguish them from mass murderers. However, there are distinguishable features that allow professionals to profile serial killers to be calculating, detail oriented and precise killers (Waller, 2010) making them more distinct as compared to other killers and murderers. They are not impulsive killers but rather they plan their next move and carefully select their victims. Profiling series killers led the police authorities to categorize them into four types as follows: mission oriented type, hedonistic type, visionary type, and power/control type.

Criminal Law

Serial Killers According to Hickey (2003, p. 420) the investigative difficulties with regard to the serial murder investigation is the lack of recognition of foreign cases. This is a common problem in the U.S. among their foreign investigators due to the inability to identify the motive of the accused, random victims, high geographic mobility of offenders and linkage blindness. Serial crime investigations often lead to criticism, public and media pressure for failure to provide a strong identification of the accused and weak crime linkage. The investigative tools and approaches used by law enforcement include media forensic DNA analysis, case linkage system ...

Headaches can be primary or secondary. Primary headaches are the most common, and they include tension-type headaches, migranes, and several rare conditions, such as cluster headaches and trigeminal neuralgia (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network [SIGN], 2008).

Introduction

Feminism has in the past, created different perceptions, notions and ideas. The major ideas that have been discussed in several platforms about feminism include the role of relationship between men and women, especially in terms of gender equality, where feminists seek to have equal opportunities with men (Martin, Wood and Little p,10-24). These feminists believe that both men and women have equal responsibility and, therefore, should be given equal chances, which include equal pay for the same jobs, and equal considerations in employment opportunities. Secondly, the feminists have discussed in these platforms the privileges that are being taken for ...

Through his theory, Fredrick Jameson presents the notion of postmodernism as an extension of modernism. He argues that, it is essential for the society to adopt postmodernism largely not as a style but rather as a context of cultural dominance. He believed that postmodernism was the major movement responsible for the control of our world popular culture. Fredrick Jameson diligently reiterated that any sustained commitments with utopia would end up bringing us back to the discredited concept of totality itself through our postmodernism imaginations. The utopia, as Jameson explains, is the dream deep inside a human being that can be realized if ...

According to Wang (233), a complete soccer game is supposed to last for 90 minutes. Each half lasts for 45 minutes. The two halves are separated by a fifteen-minute break. In soccer games where teams are competing for a trophy, there is normally an additional thirty minutes of overtime play that is normally ...

Introduction.

America’s population comprises of a high percentage being middle class citizens built on a foundation of dependency in manufacturing jobs. The sector support at least one out of six jobs, and pays benefits that include salaries and wages, which are 23% higher than other jobs, in the economy (Obama 2009, pp 4). These jobs have for a long time built on the American dream that if one works hard then he/she can count on that job to clear bills, get proper health care, guaranteed pensions, proper education, and other necessities of life.

History of the English Language

The English language is one of those languages with a strong history of origin and development (Coulmas, & Watts, 2006). The language started with the arrival of Germanic tribes in the land of Britain around 5th century AD. The invaders mainly the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, displaced the natives who later settled in what is today Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles who originated from “Englaland” spoke the language “Englisc” which is the origin of today’s English (Coulmas, & Watts, 2006). There has been several attempts to standardize the language throughout its developmental stages including the current modern language. However, ...

America’s Vaguest Conflict

Donald Hickey’s history of the War of 1812 closely examines the international diplomatic incidents and political infighting that shaped what would essentially become America’s second war for survival. The international situation, dominated by the conflict between Britain and France, complicated the exchange of commerce between the new American republic and Great Britain. Hickey’s account of the prelude to war, and the war’s prosecution, reveals that the war’s desultory outcome, which ended in America’s survival, was remarkable in itself considering the incompetent military and administrative performance of the Americans.

Keywords: Donald Hickey, War of ...

The 1812 war was as a result of a conflict between two principal powers in the world; America and Britain. The cause of the 1812 war is America’s quest to enlarge its territorial boundaries and the efforts of Britain to restrain the United States (U.S) from trading. The impressments of America’s seamen by the Royal Navy also contributed largely to the 1812 war. The organization and strategies used by the American military largely accounted to the outcomes of the 1812 war. This paper seeks to analyze the effectiveness of the organization and tactics used by the American military in ...

Richard Angelo and the Ethics of Self-Delusion

THE ‘ANGEL OF DEATH’ Abstract

Charge nurse Richard Angelo was responsible for the deaths of at least 10 patients at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, between 1986 and 1989. A former Eagle Scout and volunteer fireman, Angelo sought to create situations in which he would be seen to revive patients he had brought to the brink of death by injecting them with lethal paralytic drugs. As such, Angelo violated his professional ethics on multiple levels and called into question the very nature of the patient-nurse compact. The Angelo case, and others like it, elicited a reassessment ...

The War of 1812 is a significant event for the United States of America (America) that introduced much of the reforms characterizing the status quo. It placed much emphasis on respect for American sovereignty and diplomacy – with emphasis on respecting America’s diplomatic rights, the sanctity of American political unity and American economic development. On the other hand, it places heavy weight on controversial American expansionist effort on British Canada and Spanish Florida. Nevertheless, the War is a necessary one due to its positive consequences to the development of America as a nation.

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

Thesis and Literature Synopsis

Thesis Statement

The defeat of German Nazism led to the division of Germany into four administrative areas overseen by four WWII allies who already had strained relationships. This strained tension would inevitably lead to some unwanted outcome. The main problem became how to solve or at least contain the problem without another violent world war. The situation developed into the Cold War with Western Allies taking steps to counteract the aggression of the Soviet Union without starting another World War. My thesis is that the tension between countries that were Allies during WWII ironically led to the Cold War.

Man is an interesting animal; he can purport to be virtuous, but that often only holds as long as his creature comforts are left intact. Once put out into the wilderness, facing certain death horrifying creatures, man’s inherent goodness can often fall apart. However, it is most interesting when some among these men can hang on to their humanity. In The Terror by Dan Simmons, such a scenario occurs – during a long and arduous expedition, the crews of the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus go through what could literally be described as Hell; starvation, harsh conditions, and mysterious beasts are ...
