In the research, the broader question that will be the foundation of the study is “Why did the U.S. invade Iraq in 2003?” However, the narrower question that was derived from the broad topic concerns the role of geopolitics in the Iraq invasion. For this reason, the question that the research topic will seek to answer regards geopolitics in the U.S. and how this political concept contributed to the attack. The research question will first define geopolitics. Collin described geopolitics as the concepts of space, scale, network, territory, region, and place that influence international politics (17). Also, the author ...

Extremely fascinating comedy-drama “The Intouchables” was turned out by two French directors Olivier Nakache & Éric Toledano, who shot the film based on motives of the real history of an aristocrat chained to a wheelchair, who had employed an assistant, it would seem, absolutely improper for a role of the nurse ("The Intouchables (2011)", 2016). The film, starring François Cluzet and Omar Sy, was released in 2011 and is still very popular all over the world. The protagonist, unemployed Driss, who has just left prison, is so extraordinary and self-assured, that with enviable ease gets a job of the ...

Prevalence of Poverty in Haiti

The issue of poverty is a topic countries are unable to tackle fully given the complexity of the problem based on its cause and the factors that ensure its continuous persistence. Many countries have areas where development is not fully realized and only certain parts of the country benefit from development or modernization. Some countries do not have resources or training necessary to instigate development and a few cannot escape poverty easily, because they have yet to repair their infrastructure and society after being subservient to another country. In the case of the Republic of Haiti, the prevalence of ...

My paper examines the issue of international immigration and immigrant incorporation with a keen eye on how that has positively affected or benefited both the host countries as well as the sending countries.

Abstract

Immigration has been experienced in the world in a long time because people keep moving back and forth from one country to another. In some instances, immigrants and members of the host country assimilate and get to resemble one another in a process that can best be described as incorporation. Through that there is an economic and cultural integration and merging that positively influences members of ...

“Governments should paly active roles in managing short run instability caused by

Unemployment and inflation problems” Introduction The reverse of the above statement is true, whereby if governments do not play an active role in fighting inflation and unemployment, the adverse effects associated with these two economic eventualities do sometimes dissipate on their own. Therefore, this paper agrees with the above statement, but will also attempt to show that various economic solutions to the short run instability which is associated with unemployment and inflation can sometimes lead to a worsening of the situation at hand, rather than its subsequent improvements (Quiggin, 2012, pg.13).

Positive Sustainable Economic Growth

According to Mukesh (2015, pg.69), one of the ...

Events that led to the influx of refugees in Turkey

The Arab Spring that was experienced in African countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, inspired the protest against President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s government in March 2011. The government, in response, sent its forces to contain the protest, and as a result, Syria plunged into civil war (Carpenter 2). As the war continued, alliances, mini-alliances and shifts took place throughout the region, and this led to a complex situation as the war developed dimensions involving Islamic extremists, Assad’s government, rebel groups and ethnic groups. In July 2011, defectors from the Syrian army organized a Free Syrian Army and ...

Crime statistics remains an essential component in the field of criminology that helps in formulating effective criminal justice policy.

These methods have been used at the national level to estimate the crime and changes in the crime rates in the United States. Such data has helped the policymakers to develop sound policies that help to mitigate the problem of crime in the United States' societies ( ...

Human beings as fans of outside work is nothing new: although modern society has the technology that allows large groups of these fans to gather, there is no doubt that fandom has been around a very long time. In fact, in Don Quixote—a novel written in two separately-published parts—the author had to write in a character who was initially created by a fan of the first part of the novel (Harris and Alexander 1998). This fan-made character then denounced his claim to being the true Don Quixote, and the novel meanders on—however, this is just one ...
