Throughout its history as an independent nation, the America has adopted both interventionist and isolationist policies. From its early years, America has largely stayed away from “Old World conflicts” (Office of the Historian par. 1). However, Woodrow Wilson argued for the US intervening in the First World War by mentioning that it would be in the best interest of the country if it became involved in the war since it will help in “maintaining a peaceful world order” (Office of the Historian par. 1). Nevertheless, the negative experiences of the First World War caused many ...

Introduction

Beowulf, the heroic poem first published in Old English is presently finding a common place in modern media. However, Beowulf is portrayed as one eponymous conqueror who is not only hot headed, but dim-witted as well (Haydock 9). Conversely, in Old English literature, he is depicted as an iconic epitome of social intelligence as well as personal restraint. As much as Beowulf is described as having the power of 30 warriors and crowned on numerous occasions for destroying Herculean monsters, his actions as well as a form of dialogue exhibit both deference and modesty (Allard and Richard 76). In ...

The idea of having a collective government in place has curtailed a number of freedoms that people should have. The enactment of laws, the cropping up of government agencies and the proponents of regulation have brought about limitation to what individuals and bright minds can deliver to the world.

The presence of the government system has therefore hindered the prosperity of ideas, concepts and ...

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends. This type of music, as I learned is unique and invokes its own language, music, dance style and wardrobe styles respectively.

The “Throw Out the College Application System” article was written by Adam Grant on October 4, 2014 in The New York Times. The article is centered on the poor performing or expired college application system. He argues that the time for formal application for vacancies in colleges is long gone.

It is a major concern how the old college application system recommends certain grades for the applicants. To some extent, the system looks like discouragement to the most of the ...

Introduction

The United Kingdom (UK) is among the few nations in the world that has achieved the status of being a “great power”. One could succinctly describe a great power as a nation that has the ability to impose its influence across the globe, counting on strengths in the aspects of political, military and economic power. A great power usually finds classification between a first-order power like the United States of America (US) and a third-order power (regional power) like South Africa, Poland and South Korea (Louden, 2007, p.187). Thus, in speaking about the UK being a great power, one could possibly not help but ...

Introduction:

I wish to tender my interest to secure admission in military college. I had a primary interest of being a soldier, and this has been a natural conviction which emanates from a very remote encounter to this discipline.  I discovered quite early in life when I was a teenager at sixteen years that I am a peace maker who is naturally very inquisitive, argumentative and critical and my father testified to this when he said that I took after my uncle who was a soldier. I could then critique the behavior of those in the fraternity of the so-called the military officials. This troubled me immensely ...

African-Americans have lived a miserable destiny under the harsh institution of slavery. They have long endured the cruelty of racial discrimination and social segregation within a country where liberty, democracy and freedom are considered as national ideals. The name “Negros” is not just a simple term, but it is a humiliating adjective that are applied to black Americans to ridicule their race. The blacks have to bear the cruelty of a nation whose economy depended on their labor, yet refuses to recognize their potential as a person. The society upholds to their principle that color of the African-Americans defines the entirety of their being- no ...

Exceptional Children-Dyslexia

There are no vibrant and internationally accepted delineations of learning disabilities, and it has sparked a worldwide deliberation. However, two definitions have gained acceptance over the rest globally. The definitions include the federal definition in IDEA and a definition that was suggested by the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD) (Ziegler & Goswami, 2011). IDEA delineates specific learning disabilities as a disorder in one/more psychological processes involved in comprehending or using a language, spoken or written. The disease may surface in an imperfect potential to speak, listen, read, write, spell or calculate mathematical expressions. These disorders include perceptual disabilities, minimal brain dysfunction, ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Man That Was Used Up” is an astounding dramatic farce involving the search for truth of an unnamed narrator to discern the true secret of a distinguished war hero, General John A.B.C. Smith. Along the way, Poe illustrates a Civil War-era society that brims with a very specific type of cultural revisionism and American exceptionalism that belies the true ugliness of the nation’s atrocities underneath. Looking at this story in the context of the Jacksonian era, in which Indian removal was a very prevalent cultural practice and the upper class lionized military might borne of a ...

History of Western Civilization

Western civilization describes the development of human civilization beginning in the Middle East and spreading westwards.

In western history, there were three seminal periods: the Classical Greece (Hellenic), the pagan roman empire and the ancient Israel.

Art can be indeed very insightful into the lifestyle as well as the emotional and cultural disposition of the people responsible for the creation of the art.

Metalinguistic awareness refers to the ability of language recognition as an object. The objectification of language makes it easy for study with respect to transfer of knowledge between languages. Therefore, Metalinguistic awareness is the recognition by an individual of their knowledge of a certain language.

The mere fact that some races are economically, socially and politically developed than others does not imply that there are races which are misplaced. The economic prowess of an individual is dependent on so many factors including their social background particularly the environment surrounding them. White separatism is a public facade embraced by white supremacists (Rasmussen, 12). Perceiving the other races as weak and misplaced is a prejudiced view of the world. Having the mindset that other races are worldly races that the white must keep away from is a totally prejudiced view. All races are equal, and governments must strive to ...

However, unlike most of the slaves, Douglass portrays his need to be free throughout the book by questioning the perceptions of the white Americans and ...

We stand in awe thinking of these modern female leaders. Many of them made names in our history and were given special names.

INTRODUCTION

In broad terms, the concept of sustainable economic growth is an attempt to combine growing concerns about a range of environmental issues with socio-economic issues (Bill Hopwood, Mary Mellor and Geoff O’Brien, 2005). However, the phrase sustainable economic growth or development has many meanings attached to it. Sustainability itself (as a strategic concept originated in the Brundtland report in the year 1987) means a degree of growth which can be retained without creating other substantial economic or environmental problems for future generations. In other words, it is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ...

The National Basketball Association provides opportunities for players from different backgrounds who have exceptional talents in basketball.

This has fueled the thought that black American players are better at basketball compared to players from other races. This is vindicated by luminaries in the game such as Michael ...

Most children know how it feels to lose, and they will do everything what it takes to beat their competition regardless of the game played (Pica, 2009). Afraid of facing dejection from a social circle and gaining a loser identity, children strive to be more competitive and excel in their chosen fields. However, most children opt to harness their naturally athletic gifts or develop their selected sport. Developing a child through execution of sport-specific techniques right away can be a waste of time (Mann, 2008). However, that becomes a way for a child to develop a sense of discipline and work ethics at an early age. ...

The worlds of Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are often harsh, with mankind being essentially at the will of the gods and prone to failure. To that end, even the best among men in these works have their own flaws – Achilles and Odysseus respectively provide that sense of romantic antiheroism inherent to Homeric works. Whereas modern heroism values moral and ethical virtue as part of being a hero, the Homeric ideal of heroism is actually quite anti-heroic. Greek heroes do not have to be the most ethical or civilized; they just have to possess supreme bravery, strength, military ...
