The Tragedy of Syria
It was two am in the morning and I couldn't sleep yet. Hours separated us from changing history. It
was extremely hard to control the thoughts spinning in my mind,
'What will happen tomorrow?' , 'Is it a start of a new life?' I finally slept dreaming that there will be
a new sunrise tomorrow, a sunrise after decades of darkness.
I woke up the next day as eager as possible and went to school. All day thoughts were still going
back and forth. 'Will we be able to make it?' 'I think I am just over ambitious and it will be a normal
day'. Rushing back home after school, I entered my home and opened the news and there it was "A
protest in the heart of
Damascus calling for freedom". I couldn't stop myself from screaming. A storm of emotions blew up
my heart. Feelings of happiness, anxiety, tension, and fear were all bumping inside me. A protest in
Syria was literally a miracle as many declared. Syria has been called the kingdom of silence for
more than forty years. What happened was very tremendous, leaving a day Syrians will remember
accurately, March 15 2011.
That was the start, and now who haven't heard of Syria on the news and international news agencies
every single day. More than two thirds of the Syrian cities are destroyed and more than six million
people got displaced from their homes.
Reports show that there is a minimum of two hundred thousand person killed making
Syria the tragedy of the century.
I have lived the severest days since then. What I went through was

I Have A Life Guided By Morality, Driven By Passion, And...
I am Jake Savino, but I have not always known that. I have not truly discovered my identity, who I
am as a person, or what I was put on this planet to do, until recent years. I live a life guided by
morality, driven by passion, and inspired by my loved ones.
My passion is to work in bioethics for a specialty hospital. I gained an emotional connection to the
healthcare field at a very young age, but did not quite know how to make this into my future. It is
still very much a learning process for me; one that I reflect on every minute of every day. I have
become drawn to the dichotomies of the world, specifically in healthcare. I tend to think about
things in a very analytical, philosophical, and empathetic manner. I often question how people ...

It was a shame to me that my mom's action of stepping forward to tell hospital staff about this
procedure was the deciding factor of my dad's survival. There had to be something more that the
nurses and physicians could have done. I was, and still am, in disbelief. I saw first hand what could
happen if one does not know what options of care are available. Those are the types of atrocities that
are happening today. Very few people are looking out for the common man and people die every
day, needlessly, as a result.
Another person, also very near and dear to my heart, has helped develop my values into my sought
future. I have been a mentor for a physically and mentally challenged individual named David
through an organization called Countryside Association for People with Disabilities. People like
David are turned down from healthcare all the time because our health system renders them as
functioning adults when, in fact, they are not capable of living on their own at all. If such wonderful
parents had not adopted David, the state would not provide care for him past age twenty–four, other
than providing income for disability. David cannot manage himself. The fact that there are people in
the world struggling with similar issues, and nobody to advocate for them worries me.
I believe that everyone deserves the right to the best care available without the basis of income,
employment, or social standing. I believe cutting edge approaches need to be offered to

It will be much more efficient than the typical way of advertising lost and found people. Background
of the Study People usually post notices and advertisements anywhere they can reach just to find
missing and announce found persons. Various types of media are being utilized to declare lost
children, adults' even pets through newspapers, radio, and television. A number of police stations,
barangay halls, even public walls and lamp posts all over the country are fully covered with signage
of missing and found persons. However, it takes a very long time to find a missing and found person
using such media. For one thing, most people are so caught up in their own daily lives that they
merely sympathize, or even ignore, the flyers that are begging anyone to notify the ones who posted
them if they have seen the missing person. Sometimes, other people post over the notices of missing
people and so, the missing people are not known. There are even times that the missing person
simply does not want to be found and went away to a distant land. With such diverse circumstances,

Shopper Essay
In the United States alone, millions of people shop every day. Interestingly enough, despite the mass
amount people, every shopper is classified as a consumer from one of only three main categories.
One can assume a shoppers category by examining the shopper's cart since the products which they
have bought determines their category. Every shopper is categorized as either a proactive shopper,
an aggressive shopper, or a wasteful shopper.
The shopper that only buys the items on his list is the person who makes shopping quick, easy, and
affordable. Those who are proactive and live busy lives most likely fall into this category of
shoppers. My father and I are both great examples of the proactive shopper. Prior to my Bar–

Upon entering the store I went directly to the men's shoes while my grandmother explored the
remainder of the store. After picking shoes I noticed my grandmother heading towards the cashier
with a cart filled to the brim with unwanted shoes and clothing. Even though we only went shopping
for a single pair of shoes we left with a cart full of junk. In contrast to the other shoppers, the last
type of shopper never even purchases his desired item, instead, he wastes his time and money on
things he does not need. The final sect of shoppers is arguably the most foolish approach to
shopping. This shopper is the person who buys everything except for the product he intended to buy.
One can entitle this shopper as the wasteful shopper because of all the time and money wasted on
the needless items they purchase. Unfortunately, my aunt often shops as a wasteful shopper. Many
years ago I went shopping for towels with my aunt. We went to Walmart but, their towels were all
overpriced. We decided it was not worth the money; however, according to her, this was not a valid

As the world that we living is a highly competitive where every product is getting bigger and better

uncertainty is due to asymmetric information available to consumers. Ainslie & Rosii (1998)

Social class is defined as wealth, education and occupation these groups and the sense of belonging
are a crucial factor in consumption.
Social factors are facts and experiences that influence the consumer's personality, attitudes and
lifestyle; these are grouped as reference groups, families, role and status. Reference groups give the
potential for a person for attitudes as they compare themselves to others. Family behavior is very
influential on an individual as it is so ingrained to routine. Every consumer has a different role and
status in society, defining what they will consume. Hill et al. (1990, p317) describes individuals the
being defined as being "embedded in the interactions and roles played within a society" as a
homeless person has a very limited ability to consume.
Lifestyle, income, occupation, age and self–concept are the most influential personal factors to
affect consumer behavior. Age creates many different patterns of consumption as people demands

theoretically they'll have a higher disposable income, leading to greater levels of consumption.

The Syrian Wars
The Syrian Wars were one of the most devastating in the Hellenistic world; they changed the
political and economic landscape of the region permanently in a way that hadn 't happened since the
conquests of Alexander. These wars brought about the end of the Pharaohs, they allowed Rome to
come and seize Egypt and Syria, and Parthia to annex what was left of the Seleukid dynasty. The
massive impact these wars had upon the Hellenic world cannot be understated. Egypt would never
rise to its former glory. It would become another province of Rome, later to be held by the
Byzantines, and then Fatimids, where it would not regain true independence until 1922, shaking
itself from British colonial rule. It is a shame that these wars are not given the rigorous study that
they deserve. This paper aims to explore the Syrian Wars in three ways. It will begin with discussing
how the death of Alexander the Great and his inability to form a sustainable bureaucracy and a
proper heir set the stage for his generals to fight each other for his empire. It will focus upon the
actions of Ptolemy and his successors, and their role in the Syrian wars, and how Ptolemaic power
declined as the wars raged on. It will conclude by explaining how the aftermath of these wars lead to
the demise of Ptolemaic power, and their eventual absorption into Rome. Because of the length of

Casteist View On Casteism
Being casteist and being Christian is an oxymoronic statement, however, it is a heinous reality in the
Indian Church. Even though theologically, Caste and the Church do not go together, casteism is a
dominant discourse, a guiding force, and a potent reality in the Indian Church. Patrick
Gnanapragasm observes that, "In some quarters, sadly, Christian identity and caste identity seem to
converge and play a 'casteist' role, which is avowedly anti–Christian." Caste is a dominant discourse,
which discriminates and marginalizes people on the basis of their birth. Oxford dictionary defines
casteism as adherence to a caste and prejudice or discriminations on the grounds of caste.
The category of being Christian and being Casteist does not sync together, however, casteism is an
atrocious reality in the Indian Church. Even though officially the Indian Church condemns casteism,
it permeates in the functional realms of the Church. One can observe the discriminations and
stigmatization in the name of caste; this is not particular to any one denomination but it is common
to all. This is why, when Dalit Christians approached the Supreme Court of India for Scheduled

There is no way to tell if a person is truly innocent and kind or if they are a terrorist. This could
leave sponges in the country's borders as well. Information can be passed through to terrorists more
easily. Another way Syrians could rupture the safety of citizens is by having violence used against
them because of the prejudice that would be inflicted upon them. For example, in A Raisin in the
Sun, the Youngers were not wanted because the whites of Clybourne Park thought they could be
dangerous because they were colored. Although Mr. Linder approached them peacefully, reports in
their newspaper talked about the bombing of other blacks in their area. People against Syrian
immigration should not have to worry about potential threats because the immigrants are thoroughly

Analysis Of Real Life Migration In Mohsin Hamid's Exit West
"They knew there was a possibility the agent had sold them out to the militants, and so they knew
there was a possibility this was the final afternoon of their lives"(Hamid 102); leaving your country
might be the hardest decision that someone has to make. In Mohsin Hamid's novel Exit West he puts
his main characters in a dangerous situation of trusting a total stranger to get them into another
county with a chance of them being sold out and killed. This decision to migrate includes leaving
your family and friends, starting your life over, and possibly endangering the lives of your family
along with yourself. Hamid follows a young couple migrating out of their home town for safety and
a better life. The challenges presented in the novel can be applied to real life migration. Hamid
represents the difficulties of traveling from country to country through his magical doors, includes
learning how to find your way in new places, and presents the idea of countries not wanting
migrants. Exit West reveals the migration issues in today's world to prove that migrants deserve the
same basic liberties as everyone else, because it effects everyone else and takes a lot of will power
to travel to an unfamiliar place.
In Exit West people migrated through black doors that transported them into another country. Hamid

Never assume that if a person belongs to a certain group, they all hold the same preferences and
beliefs, as this is not always the case. It is better to involve the person actively and find out what
their preferences are. If personal preferences are not respected, then this could not only offend the
person, but also they may avoid seeking support when they need it. Sensitivity should be exercised
at all times.
1.5 Describe how to identify suitable opportunities for an individual to learn or practice skills for
daily living?
People can learn practical living skills on a day–to–day basis. It is important therefore that care
workers recognize opportunities and give the appropriate support. If a person is living in a supported
living environment, the opportunities to learn life skills can be effectively embedded on a regular
basis. For example, while the support workers helping the person to do their shopping use public
transport or access a service such as a cinema, there are opportunities to develop communication,
organization and numeracy skills. When planning activities the support worker, with the person,
should recognize and seize opportunities for that person to develop valuable learning and life skills.

Stereotypes In The Outsiders
Stereotype; a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person
or thing. In the realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, and in the short story, "Geeks
Bearing Gifts", written by Ron Koertge, stereotypes are defied by ordinary people. In The Outsiders,
Johnny Cade and Darry Curtis face many struggles throughout their lives. Their town in separated
into two: the rich and dangerous Socs, and the quiet, tough Greasers. For them, living dangerously is
a reality. As a result of their lifestyle, Johnny has become fearful and Darry is considered the
toughest man in the gang. In "Geeks Bearing Gifts" aspiring journalist, Renee, interviews her fellow
classmates who are classified as "outcasts." After meeting several students, she realizes her
assumptions were incorrect about them. After reading both of these stories, the reader learns that our
thoughts about others often revolve around stereotypes and assumptions, but most of these ideas that
we have about other people are proven wrong.
In The Outsiders, Johnny and Darry find themselves struggling with the stereotype society has
labeled them with. While in the park, Johnny and his friend Ponyboy are jumped by five Socs.
Unexpectedly, Johnny stands up for himself and protects his friend. On page 56, the text states, "'I
killed him,' he said slowly. 'I killed that boy'. Bob the handsome Soc, was lying there in the
moonlight, doubled up and still." This demonstrates that although Johnny is considered a timid and
innocent person, he proves that how he acts in the gang is different from how he acts in the outside
world. This is unexpected because Johnny is always the one being cared for in the gang. However,
he protected his friend by killing someone. Johnny's actions prove that our assumptions about others
are wrong. This matters because society needs to realize that based on stereotypes, we incorrectly
judge others before getting to know them. Johnny is a clear example of what happens when one is
judged based on assumptions. Another example of this theme is reflected when Darry breaks down
at a hospital after finding out that his younger brother, Ponyboy, is going to be okay. On pages 98–

The day to day survival is difficult in a new country for adult refugees trying to support their

Geographical position has made a significant influence on the development of Syrian cultural

Death Is The Worst Thing
There is one thing in this world that no one can escape, that everyone fears, and makes people who
are close to that person miserable, and that is death. Death is the worst thing that can ever happen to

with the death of a loved one or someone close. That blankness in the world does something to the
people who encompass that person who passed. It changes people, whether it is for better or worse.

We have dinner weekly as a family including my Aunt and Grandmother and I would say around 80
percent of those meals are Syrian meals. We have things such as grape leaves, meat pies, Kibbeh
which we enjoy both raw and cooked, tabbouleh, Shanklish, Baklava, and many other dishes. What
is very interesting is when you eat out and try Middle Eastern food it often tastes different. My
Grandma always tells me that it was because we were the "poor Syrians" and we did not have the
spices and other things that the "uptown Syrians" had. From the information that I have gathered
this means that my great grandmother could not afford Za'atar which is a combination of herbs used
in Middle Eastern cooking. Another difference in Syrian dishes is that most of our food is cooked
with beef and not lamb. One dish that I have always been considered weird and different by friends
or boyfriends for eating is raw kibbeh. This is a combination of raw beef and bulgur wheat. One
time I recall a boyfriend of mine coming over to meet my Grandmother for the first time and of

my grandmother carried over a plate of raw meat was a face I will never forget. He then proceeded

Taking a Look at Audience Analysis
Audience analysis is one of the most important elements of effective communication which involves
assembling and interpreting information about the recipients of oral, written, or visual
communication. In order to derive an effective speech or writing, it is imperative to determine the
associated characteristics of an audience. Audience analysis can help you gain valuable insight about
your readers, which can help you to choose and develop a relevant, meaningful topic. It can also
help you to create a writing plan that is tailored effectively to your reading audience, with
appropriate tone, style, language and content.
Generally, audience analysis is the collection and interpretation of audience characteristics through
observation, inferences, questionnaires, or interviews. There are three main ways to adapt to
audience before starting the communication process (Steven A. and Susan J. Beebe, 1997):
Demographic analysis
Disposition analysis
Knowledge analysis
Demographic analysis: It involves age, gender, culture, ethnicity, race, religion and educational level
of the audience. More likely, it gives an idea about:
Is my audience homogenous or heterogeneous? How are the readers alike or different from one
another? Despite the differences, what do readers have in common?
What range of ages is represented?
What are my readers' political and religious affiliations?
What is my role in relationship to my reading audience?

Tom Bombadil God In J. R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Bible
Early Christian theory is often preoccupied with the anxieties of defining the ideal human in the
light of the Fall, and illustrating how humans should interact with the material world. Many of the
early Church fathers were Neoplatonists, writing that the material world is merely a reflection of a
purer realm inspired by the Creator. Ephrem the Syrian, however, centered his writings on
Aristotelian philosophy, emphasizing the importance of using our sense to interact with the material
world. Instead of ignoring our surroundings, Ephrem writes, we should praise both the Creator and
His Creation in everyday life (Hansbury 1). Despite being cast out from the Garden of Eden,
humans should praise God for Creation. The ideal human, therefore, should sing praises daily of
both the physical and the spiritual. In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil is a
mystical character who appears to be unaffected by the corruption of the world outside of the Old
Forest. Other than his tenuous relationship with Old Man Willow and the Barrow Wights, he is
innocent to the evil lurking outside his influence. He also sings and dances constantly, content to
describe interact with his physical surroundings. Tom Bombadil appears as an ideal human, like a
pre–Fall Adam, because he expresses the early Christian tradition of a musical cosmology and
anthropology, evidenced in the works of Ephrem the Syrian.
Inspired by Syrian asceticism, Ephrem the Syrian was a well–respected hymnist and

Personal Vision Statement : My Vision
Introduction
In this paper, I will outline my personal vision statement. This vision and mission will help
determine the steps I need to take now in order to become the type of leader that others will follow.
Next, I discuss those internal and external obstacles which may prevent me from achieving my
goals. Lastly, I will identify the steps I will take to overcome or mitigate those obstacles. In
conclusion, by outlining my desired personal vision statement I hope to have a picture or image
upon which I can reflect regularly. By so doing, it is my sincere desire and hope of it actually
happening.
My Vision A personal vision statement is a written description of the lifestyle you want to be
enjoying at a given point in the future (Pearson, Thomas, 2003). I actually have two competing
visions. If I were somehow to inherit a large sum of money, I would love to open a state of the art
facility where kids could come after school and may do their homework. Once they completed their
homework they would have a place to decompress after a long day at school. The facility would
have a video arcade, basketball, tennis, and racquet ball court. There would also be an Olympic style
swimming pool. In addition, I would have a computer room as well as a state of the art library. I

Question: Where Do Our Attitudes About Good And Bad Language
Question: Where do our attitudes about good and bad language come from and how do they
correlate with language discrimination?
Ever since the beginning of time, communication has never been considered foreign to any living
creature. As a child, you automatically pick up from your surroundings even if you are unaware of it
at that very moment in time, same type of concept with language. When you hear your family
members, your peers, and other types of "influential" individuals communicate, your brain acts as a
sponge in a sense and absorbs what information you hear from them. Now, not all things that other
people say are positive especially when it comes to language. For instance, you are taught from a

What this means is that people make judgements off the way others communicate, which is
something you already may have known because you might do the same exact thing on a daily basis.
Language is something that is sacred in a sense because it is something that makes you the person
you are today or is just the reason why people look at you the way they do, it is what makes you
special. As I had stated previously, the attitudes about good and bad language come from
"influential" individuals. Now, the reason I use the word influential is because it is almost
impossible to pinpoint what people everyone sees or hears from and try to emulate what those
influential people preach into their daily lives. Influential people may be parents, friends, celebrities,
journalists, or government officials, basically those people who you feel have the biggest input/
impact on the way you think about things. One of the most powerful figures that we try to emulate
from are celebrities, without a doubt. When you see a celebrity, someone who has a lot of money,
you will automatically assume that whatever they say, it must mean something. In a sense, we

Many people have different reasons to apply for staff. Mine will sound a little cheesy but its true. I
purely enjoy helping people. It gives me a sense of gratitude when I show someone how to do things
the right way or help someone with their issues. I am a good problem solver and I have an analytical
brain. These traits make my job easy and fun. I know that staff isn't meant to be a fun job, but
keeping a cheerful attitude on job and being friendly to players makes more people want to come
back to the server. I have two modes when being staff; one cheery light mood when I joke around
and talk with players and a serious mood when dealing with issues. I NEVER allow these two to
mix together because that could jeopardize my position and probably annoy some players. Lastly, I
know that certain people apply for the rank because they think it will bring them respect and make
them cool. I have never considered this as a reason to apply and I frankly hate these types of people.
They often end up abusing their power and getting banned. I have never abused and will never

bad and not all people are good. However, we're in 2014 and we shouldn't have some of the
problems we have. In 2008 it was recorded that males were more likely to receive threats or use of
force and in 74% of these situations were viewed as excessive and included pushing or grabbing. It

Why I Want For The People Who Will Influence My Identity...
Ever since I was little, my mom has repeated little sayings to my brothers and I. One of her favorites
was, "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose."
While this research project is not headed in the direction of nose picking, as I have gotten older, this
quote has caused me to reflect on the choices I have made in terms of who I am. If I do indeed hold
the power to choose the people who will influence my identity the strongest, why did I not choose
those who have allowed me to be authentic until now?
What is authenticity? "Being authentic means something like living in accordance with one's own
unique values and ideals," but it is greater than simply being oneself, it is "resisting the imposition
of the values and ideals of others" (Pierce 441) as well. Therefore, authenticity is also neglecting to
succumb to the beliefs of others to stay true to one's own beliefs. However, this does not mean that
authenticity is static, "an individual should engage in a process of constructing his personhood....
His task in life becomes searching for his true personhood" (381). Personhood should be a journey
of finding oneself, figuring out who one is and what one believes in. The act of evolving is part of
the discovery, but when "their acts are guided by other people's ideas of who they should be" (379)
it leads to inauthenticity because the change is made solely to fit in. All in all, authenticity is based
heavily on truth, because "[it]

The idea of people trying to change their identity just strikes me with stupidity. It is God's decision
as to what color, nationality or such a person will be, and I believe He has a purpose for everything;
therefore, each person should respect His decision with acceptance and serve Him well under the
identity chosen for them. The biggest mistake of this essay is the misuse of the word "identity."
Bernstein claims that, "Identity is not a matter of where you come from, what you were born into,
what color your skin is," but rather, "It's what you wear, the music you listen to, the words you
use..." (45). This is all wrong! Identity is exactly what she thinks it is not. The color of one's skin
describes their race. That is one piece of their identity. Where they come from is their nationality.
That is another piece. What they were born into, such as family, beliefs, religion etc...., is their
culture, Furney 2 which is yet another piece. All these pieces together describes who a person is.
Clothes, music, and accent only describe who a person appears to be. April, who is in fact Anglo and
should be proud of it, dresses like a Mexican because she thinks this will make her Mexican, but it
will not. Frankly, if I were Mexican and April came to me in her imitation Mexican costume trying
to speak Spanish to me even though the only thing she probably knows in Spanish is, "Yo Queiro

Analysis Of ' High School Based Television Shows Violence...
In high school based television shows there are constant themes of insecurity and the division of
popular kids and the outcasts. Unfortunately, that is how the world works, people are labeled and
associated with certain groups. These labels force people into thinking that they have to look a
certain way or follow popular trends. Just like Susannah Calahan in Brain on Fire, she suffers from
an illness and during her recovery she criticizes herself based off of what society expects her to look
like. Social norms are deeply entrenched in everyone's life to the point where Susannah tries to hide
her sickness and put on a strong face just to avoid being labeled as abnormal. There is a sense of her
fear of being ridiculed and alienated from her loved ones since she does not fulfill the common
image society has on women. Susannah is embarrassed by her actions, her appearance and she
refuses to accept that her new–self is even a part of her identity. Susannah does not view her post
illness appearance as acceptable despite having no control over the outcome. Identity is in fact a
matter of social construction since Susannah's self esteem and perception of herself deteriorates as
she finds herself deviating from what is considered normal. One important aspect of Susannah's
illness is that it causes her to dramatically shift from a sociable person to someone who cannot hold

Don't Fear Change Essay examples
What are you afraid of? Many people are afraid of many things such as death, heights, bugs, or

Is there a reasonable answer why people neglect change nowadays? In fact, there is more than one
answer to this question. Change has become such an important aspect of our everyday life that it is
impossible to ignore. When it comes to the idea of change, most people will readily agree that some

individuals don't fear change; they fear being changed (Rabadam). In the end, change is something
that drives them away from wanting to experience other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In fact, the main reason to fear failure is how we imagine how others will view us when we fail. For
example, if an individual keeps doing the same thing over and over, then the results will never
change. As Albert Einstein stated, "a person, who never made a mistake, never tried anything new"
(Brenner). Failure is not the enemy, but a life–changing experience. It is a human experience, and it
prepares the way for us to grow and transform our lives. Mistakes are essential to the development
of life, just as change is. Nevertheless, change is said to prepare us for life and without change, life
would persistently be the same. Admittedly, childhood experiences affect your adulthood. For
instance, overprotective parents and parents who spoil their children are those who indirectly teach
them to be afraid to change. In the same way, over protection can cause the children to be unready
for the real world. When the kids do get out into the real world, they don't know how to handle it.
The individual will be so used to what they knew when growing up that that is all they will expect.
That same individual will not follow the pattern of change. A person that doesn't follow the pattern
of change will most likely fear change itself. Furthermore, another reason people fear change is
because they fear the past might replicate itself (Radwan). This reason links to the fear of failure in a

My Position On A Statewide Bathroom Policy
In the endeavor to fully describe my position on this particular issue, it is my wish to begin with a

mistake me for liberal–minded, as this term does not represent me.
The line between hate and dislike is a rather thin one to say the least. The policy change debate–of
which, if I may say, no one was invited to–of the private corporation that is the Target store

if one free nation fell to communism, many more would follow and, as per President Eisenhower, its
consequences would be "incalculable to the free world". America, seeking to justify its title of
protector of the free world, fought the war with the aim to preserve a separate, independent,
noncommunist government in North Vietnam. The war was fully escalated following the Gulf of
Tonkin Resolution, which in essence, became the de facto authorization of military force in Vietnam
until 1971. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was issued after the "attack" of USS Maddox by North
Vietnamese torpedoes. Kennedy's claim that "all of Southeast Asia would be under control of
communists and under domination of the Chinese" has been largely discredited as by 1981 none of
the South East Asian countries had fallen victim communist guerillas. While historical evidence
proved the "domino theory" false, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution seemed largely misguided from the
outset; merely an excuse to start war with the North Vietnamese.

The Tragedy Of Syria

  • 1. The Tragedy of Syria It was two am in the morning and I couldn't sleep yet. Hours separated us from changing history. It was extremely hard to control the thoughts spinning in my mind, 'What will happen tomorrow?' , 'Is it a start of a new life?' I finally slept dreaming that there will be a new sunrise tomorrow, a sunrise after decades of darkness. I woke up the next day as eager as possible and went to school. All day thoughts were still going back and forth. 'Will we be able to make it?' 'I think I am just over ambitious and it will be a normal day'. Rushing back home after school, I entered my home and opened the news and there it was "A protest in the heart of Damascus calling for freedom". I couldn't stop myself from screaming. A storm of emotions blew up my heart. Feelings of happiness, anxiety, tension, and fear were all bumping inside me. A protest in Syria was literally a miracle as many declared. Syria has been called the kingdom of silence for more than forty years. What happened was very tremendous, leaving a day Syrians will remember accurately, March 15 2011. That was the start, and now who haven't heard of Syria on the news and international news agencies every single day. More than two thirds of the Syrian cities are destroyed and more than six million people got displaced from their homes. Reports show that there is a minimum of two hundred thousand person killed making Syria the tragedy of the century. I have lived the severest days since then. What I went through was ...

I have not truly discovered my identity, who I am as a person, or what I was put on this planet to do, until recent years. I live a life guided by morality, driven by passion, and inspired by my loved ones. My passion is to work in bioethics for a specialty hospital. I gained an emotional connection to the healthcare field at a very young age, but did not quite know how to make this into my future. It is still very much a learning process for me; one that I reflect on every minute of every day. I have become drawn to the dichotomies of the world, specifically in healthcare. I tend to think about things in a very analytical, philosophical, and empathetic manner. I often question how people ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It was a shame to me that my mom's action of stepping forward to tell hospital staff about this procedure was the deciding factor of my dad's survival. There had to be something more that the nurses and physicians could have done. I was, and still am, in disbelief. I saw first hand what could happen if one does not know what options of care are available. Those are the types of atrocities that are happening today. Very few people are looking out for the common man and people die every day, needlessly, as a result. Another person, also very near and dear to my heart, has helped develop my values into my sought future. I have been a mentor for a physically and mentally challenged individual named David through an organization called Countryside Association for People with Disabilities. People like David are turned down from healthcare all the time because our health system renders them as functioning adults when, in fact, they are not capable of living on their own at all. If such wonderful parents had not adopted David, the state would not provide care for him past age twenty–four, other than providing income for disability. David cannot manage himself. The fact that there are people in the world struggling with similar issues, and nobody to advocate for them worries me. I believe that everyone deserves the right to the best care available without the basis of income, employment, or social standing. I believe cutting edge approaches need to be offered to ...

Background of the Study People usually post notices and advertisements anywhere they can reach just to find missing and announce found persons. Various types of media are being utilized to declare lost children, adults' even pets through newspapers, radio, and television. A number of police stations, barangay halls, even public walls and lamp posts all over the country are fully covered with signage of missing and found persons. However, it takes a very long time to find a missing and found person using such media. For one thing, most people are so caught up in their own daily lives that they merely sympathize, or even ignore, the flyers that are begging anyone to notify the ones who posted them if they have seen the missing person. Sometimes, other people post over the notices of missing people and so, the missing people are not known. There are even times that the missing person simply does not want to be found and went away to a distant land. With such diverse circumstances, how can one find someone who is missing if he or she moved to a distant place, far 5 away from the place they were last seen? Are these numerous and repetitive posts still capable of helping those people who have lost their family ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Shopper Essay In the United States alone, millions of people shop every day. Interestingly enough, despite the mass amount people, every shopper is classified as a consumer from one of only three main categories. One can assume a shoppers category by examining the shopper's cart since the products which they have bought determines their category. Every shopper is categorized as either a proactive shopper, an aggressive shopper, or a wasteful shopper. The shopper that only buys the items on his list is the person who makes shopping quick, easy, and affordable. Those who are proactive and live busy lives most likely fall into this category of shoppers. My father and I are both great examples of the proactive shopper. Prior to my Bar– Mitzvah my mother ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Upon entering the store I went directly to the men's shoes while my grandmother explored the remainder of the store. After picking shoes I noticed my grandmother heading towards the cashier with a cart filled to the brim with unwanted shoes and clothing. Even though we only went shopping for a single pair of shoes we left with a cart full of junk. In contrast to the other shoppers, the last type of shopper never even purchases his desired item, instead, he wastes his time and money on things he does not need. The final sect of shoppers is arguably the most foolish approach to shopping. This shopper is the person who buys everything except for the product he intended to buy. One can entitle this shopper as the wasteful shopper because of all the time and money wasted on the needless items they purchase. Unfortunately, my aunt often shops as a wasteful shopper. Many years ago I went shopping for towels with my aunt. We went to Walmart but, their towels were all overpriced. We decided it was not worth the money; however, according to her, this was not a valid reason to leave the store. After an hour of shopping for needless products we finally left Walmart with a cart full of stuff she did not need nor will she ever need. Spoiled teenagers and young adults also often shop this way. In fact, there are people that go ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Introduction) (82) As the world that we living is a highly competitive where every product is getting bigger and better we as consumers are faced with increased choices, with increased levels of uncertainty. This uncertainty is due to asymmetric information available to consumers. Ainslie & Rosii (1998) explains that consumers use holistic approaches to distinguish competing products rather than using a rational process thus leading to the impact that brand are able to hold to effect consumption, leading to an individuals choice of possessions.

Social class is defined as wealth, education and occupation these groups and the sense of belonging are a crucial factor in consumption. Social factors are facts and experiences that influence the consumer's personality, attitudes and lifestyle; these are grouped as reference groups, families, role and status. Reference groups give the potential for a person for attitudes as they compare themselves to others. Family behavior is very influential on an individual as it is so ingrained to routine. Every consumer has a different role and status in society, defining what they will consume. Hill et al. (1990, p317) describes individuals the being defined as being "embedded in the interactions and roles played within a society" as a homeless person has a very limited ability to consume. Lifestyle, income, occupation, age and self–concept are the most influential personal factors to affect consumer behavior. Age creates many different patterns of consumption as people demands change all the way through ones life. If a consumer has a certain occupation with a high income then theoretically they'll have a higher disposable income, leading to greater levels of consumption.

Mom made it clear that the person I was meeting wasn't the school counselor, or anyone that was already employed at the school. In fact, Mom assured me, she was from the school district. A school district employee?

  • 15. The Syrian Wars The Syrian Wars were one of the most devastating in the Hellenistic world; they changed the political and economic landscape of the region permanently in a way that hadn 't happened since the conquests of Alexander. These wars brought about the end of the Pharaohs, they allowed Rome to come and seize Egypt and Syria, and Parthia to annex what was left of the Seleukid dynasty. The massive impact these wars had upon the Hellenic world cannot be understated. Egypt would never rise to its former glory. It would become another province of Rome, later to be held by the Byzantines, and then Fatimids, where it would not regain true independence until 1922, shaking itself from British colonial rule. It is a shame that these wars are not given the rigorous study that they deserve. This paper aims to explore the Syrian Wars in three ways. It will begin with discussing how the death of Alexander the Great and his inability to form a sustainable bureaucracy and a proper heir set the stage for his generals to fight each other for his empire. It will focus upon the actions of Ptolemy and his successors, and their role in the Syrian wars, and how Ptolemaic power declined as the wars raged on. It will conclude by explaining how the aftermath of these wars lead to the demise of Ptolemaic power, and their eventual absorption into Rome.

  • 17. Casteist View On Casteism Being casteist and being Christian is an oxymoronic statement, however, it is a heinous reality in the Indian Church. Even though theologically, Caste and the Church do not go together, casteism is a dominant discourse, a guiding force, and a potent reality in the Indian Church. Patrick Gnanapragasm observes that, "In some quarters, sadly, Christian identity and caste identity seem to converge and play a 'casteist' role, which is avowedly anti–Christian." Caste is a dominant discourse, which discriminates and marginalizes people on the basis of their birth. Oxford dictionary defines casteism as adherence to a caste and prejudice or discriminations on the grounds of caste. The category of being Christian and being Casteist does not sync together, however, casteism is an atrocious reality in the Indian Church. Even though officially the Indian Church condemns casteism, it permeates in the functional realms of the Church.

This could leave sponges in the country's borders as well. Information can be passed through to terrorists more easily. Another way Syrians could rupture the safety of citizens is by having violence used against them because of the prejudice that would be inflicted upon them. For example, in A Raisin in the Sun, the Youngers were not wanted because the whites of Clybourne Park thought they could be dangerous because they were colored. Although Mr. Linder approached them peacefully, reports in their newspaper talked about the bombing of other blacks in their area. People against Syrian immigration should not have to worry about potential threats because the immigrants are thoroughly examined and most of them are women and children.

Analysis Of Real Life Migration In Mohsin Hamid's Exit West "They knew there was a possibility the agent had sold them out to the militants, and so they knew there was a possibility this was the final afternoon of their lives"(Hamid 102); leaving your country might be the hardest decision that someone has to make. In Mohsin Hamid's novel Exit West he puts his main characters in a dangerous situation of trusting a total stranger to get them into another county with a chance of them being sold out and killed. This decision to migrate includes leaving your family and friends, starting your life over, and possibly endangering the lives of your family along with yourself. Hamid follows a young couple migrating out of their home town for safety and a better life. The challenges presented in the novel can be applied to real life migration. Hamid represents the difficulties of traveling from country to country through his magical doors, includes learning how to find your way in new places, and presents the idea of countries not wanting migrants. Exit West reveals the migration issues in today's world to prove that migrants deserve the same basic liberties as everyone else, because it effects everyone else and takes a lot of will power to travel to an unfamiliar place. In Exit West people migrated through black doors that transported them into another country.

It is better to involve the person actively and find out what their preferences are.

People can learn practical living skills on a day–to–day basis. It is important therefore that care workers recognize opportunities and give the appropriate support.

  • 25. Stereotypes In The Outsiders Stereotype; a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. In the realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, and in the short story, "Geeks Bearing Gifts", written by Ron Koertge, stereotypes are defied by ordinary people. In The Outsiders, Johnny Cade and Darry Curtis face many struggles throughout their lives. Their town in separated into two: the rich and dangerous Socs, and the quiet, tough Greasers. For them, living dangerously is a reality. As a result of their lifestyle, Johnny has become fearful and Darry is considered the toughest man in the gang. In "Geeks Bearing Gifts" aspiring journalist, Renee, interviews her fellow classmates who are classified as "outcasts." After meeting several students, she realizes her assumptions were incorrect about them. After reading both of these stories, the reader learns that our thoughts about others often revolve around stereotypes and assumptions, but most of these ideas that we have about other people are proven wrong. In The Outsiders, Johnny and Darry find themselves struggling with the stereotype society has labeled them with. While in the park, Johnny and his friend Ponyboy are jumped by five Socs. Unexpectedly, Johnny stands up for himself and protects his friend. On page 56, the text states, "'I killed him,' he said slowly. 'I killed that boy'. Bob the handsome Soc, was lying there in the moonlight, doubled up and still." This demonstrates that although Johnny is considered a timid and innocent person, he proves that how he acts in the gang is different from how he acts in the outside world. This is unexpected because Johnny is always the one being cared for in the gang. However, he protected his friend by killing someone. Johnny's actions prove that our assumptions about others are wrong. This matters because society needs to realize that based on stereotypes, we incorrectly judge others before getting to know them. Johnny is a clear example of what happens when one is judged based on assumptions. Another example of this theme is reflected when Darry breaks down at a hospital after finding out that his younger brother, Ponyboy, is going to be okay.

Death is the worst thing that can ever happen to a person, and is just as bad for the people who are close to them. There is an emptiness that comes with the death of a loved one or someone close.

In order to derive an effective speech or writing, it is imperative to determine the associated characteristics of an audience. Audience analysis can help you gain valuable insight about your readers, which can help you to choose and develop a relevant, meaningful topic. It can also help you to create a writing plan that is tailored effectively to your reading audience, with appropriate tone, style, language and content. Generally, audience analysis is the collection and interpretation of audience characteristics through observation, inferences, questionnaires, or interviews. There are three main ways to adapt to audience before starting the communication process (Steven A. and Susan J.

Tolkien's The Lord Of The Bible Early Christian theory is often preoccupied with the anxieties of defining the ideal human in the light of the Fall, and illustrating how humans should interact with the material world. Many of the early Church fathers were Neoplatonists, writing that the material world is merely a reflection of a purer realm inspired by the Creator. Ephrem the Syrian, however, centered his writings on Aristotelian philosophy, emphasizing the importance of using our sense to interact with the material world. Instead of ignoring our surroundings, Ephrem writes, we should praise both the Creator and His Creation in everyday life (Hansbury 1). Despite being cast out from the Garden of Eden, humans should praise God for Creation. The ideal human, therefore, should sing praises daily of both the physical and the spiritual. In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil is a mystical character who appears to be unaffected by the corruption of the world outside of the Old Forest. Other than his tenuous relationship with Old Man Willow and the Barrow Wights, he is innocent to the evil lurking outside his influence. He also sings and dances constantly, content to describe interact with his physical surroundings. Tom Bombadil appears as an ideal human, like a pre–Fall Adam, because he expresses the early Christian tradition of a musical cosmology and anthropology, evidenced in the works of Ephrem the Syrian.

As I had stated previously, the attitudes about good and bad language come from "influential" individuals. Now, the reason I use the word influential is because it is almost impossible to pinpoint what people everyone sees or hears from and try to emulate what those influential people preach into their daily lives.

I NEVER allow these two to mix together because that could jeopardize my position and probably annoy some players. Lastly, I know that certain people apply for the rank because they think it will bring them respect and make them cool. I have never considered this as a reason to apply and I frankly hate these types of people. They often end up abusing their power and getting banned. I have never abused and will never abuse. I am applying because I believe that I have what it takes to help the server. Why should we choose you to become staff instead of someone else? To begin with, I feel I should take part in the staffing community here because I ensure a large portion of qualified time as well as extreme experiences and a sincere inclination in moderating over the chat and providing the necessary satisfaction ...

Conflicts Between The Police And The People Throughout American history we've had many instances where conflicts between the police and the people have occurred and it was difficult to find what exactly happened. They become 'he said she said' type of situations even when there may be a lot of evidence and eyewitness accounts because people want to see it for themselves. With having police body camera's it can be helped to eliminate these issues and finally work on helping with core issues there are today. Not all police officers are bad and not all people are good. However, we're in 2014 and we shouldn't have some of the problems we have. In 2008 it was recorded that males were more likely to receive threats or use of force and in 74% of these situations were viewed as excessive and included pushing or grabbing. It was reported that 19% of these conflicts included the person being injured. In statistics from 2011– 2012 it's been proven that in many shore communities that 44% of the arrests were black while they had made up only 15% of the population. As of 2012 in our own town we had a rate of 384.6 per 1000 residents were arrested if they were blacks v.s. a whopping 90.1 per 1000 residents if you were not black. The point is, race, racial profiling, and brutality also have a great deal to influence why this bill should be passed.

  • 57. Why I Want For The People Who Will Influence My Identity... Ever since I was little, my mom has repeated little sayings to my brothers and I. One of her favorites was, "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." While this research project is not headed in the direction of nose picking, as I have gotten older, this quote has caused me to reflect on the choices I have made in terms of who I am. If I do indeed hold the power to choose the people who will influence my identity the strongest, why did I not choose those who have allowed me to be authentic until now? What is authenticity? "Being authentic means something like living in accordance with one's own unique values and ideals," but it is greater than simply being oneself, it is "resisting the imposition of the values and ideals of others" (Pierce 441) as well. Therefore, authenticity is also neglecting to succumb to the beliefs of others to stay true to one's own beliefs. However, this does not mean that authenticity is static, "an individual should engage in a process of constructing his personhood.... His task in life becomes searching for his true personhood" (381). Personhood should be a journey of finding oneself, figuring out who one is and what one believes in. The act of evolving is part of the discovery, but when "their acts are guided by other people's ideas of who they should be" (379) it leads to inauthenticity because the change is made solely to fit in. All in all, authenticity is based heavily on truth, because "[it] ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Personal Identity Essay Personal Identity Nell Bernstein is the author of "Goin' Gangsta, Choosin' Cholita: Claiming Identity," an essay describing how the youth in certain parts of the country are choosing their preferred identity rather than accepting their own. For example, in Bernstein's essay a girl named April, living in California, wants to be Mexican; therefore, she dresses like and attempts to talk in the same accent as a true Mexican, even though she is Anglo. The essay also specifically talks about the state of California, where all this identity changing is happening due to the great diversity of race there. Bernstein claims that this is a positive situation when a youths choose an identity other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The idea of people trying to change their identity just strikes me with stupidity. It is God's decision as to what color, nationality or such a person will be, and I believe He has a purpose for everything; therefore, each person should respect His decision with acceptance and serve Him well under the identity chosen for them. The biggest mistake of this essay is the misuse of the word "identity." Bernstein claims that, "Identity is not a matter of where you come from, what you were born into, what color your skin is," but rather, "It's what you wear, the music you listen to, the words you use..." (45). This is all wrong! Identity is exactly what she thinks it is not. The color of one's skin describes their race. That is one piece of their identity. Where they come from is their nationality. That is another piece. What they were born into, such as family, beliefs, religion etc...., is their culture, Furney 2 which is yet another piece. All these pieces together describes who a person is. Clothes, music, and accent only describe who a person appears to be. April, who is in fact Anglo and should be proud of it, dresses like a Mexican because she thinks this will make her Mexican, but it will not. Frankly, if I were Mexican and April came to me in her imitation Mexican costume trying to speak Spanish to me even though the only thing she probably knows in Spanish is, "Yo Queiro Taco Bell," it would annoy the hell out of me. ...

Unfortunately, that is how the world works, people are labeled and associated with certain groups. These labels force people into thinking that they have to look a certain way or follow popular trends. Just like Susannah Calahan in Brain on Fire, she suffers from an illness and during her recovery she criticizes herself based off of what society expects her to look like. Social norms are deeply entrenched in everyone's life to the point where Susannah tries to hide her sickness and put on a strong face just to avoid being labeled as abnormal. There is a sense of her fear of being ridiculed and alienated from her loved ones since she does not fulfill the common image society has on women. Susannah is embarrassed by her actions, her appearance and she refuses to accept that her new–self is even a part of her identity. Susannah does not view her post illness appearance as acceptable despite having no control over the outcome. Identity is in fact a matter of social construction since Susannah's self esteem and perception of herself deteriorates as she finds herself deviating from what is considered normal. One important aspect of Susannah's illness is that it causes her to dramatically shift from a sociable person to someone who cannot hold a conversation. Throughout the duration of her sickness and her road to recovery, often times she cannot ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Many people are afraid of many things such as death, heights, bugs, or public speaking; but the fear of change ranks high in the list of things that trigger anxiety (Radwan). Is there a reasonable answer why people neglect change nowadays? In fact, there is more than one answer to this question. Change has become such an important aspect of our everyday life that it is impossible to ignore. When it comes to the idea of change, most people will readily agree that some individuals try their hardest to avoid change. The reason behind this known theory is that those individuals don't fear change; they fear being changed (Rabadam). In the end, change is something that drives them away from wanting to experience other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In fact, the main reason to fear failure is how we imagine how others will view us when we fail. For example, if an individual keeps doing the same thing over and over, then the results will never change. As Albert Einstein stated, "a person, who never made a mistake, never tried anything new" (Brenner). Failure is not the enemy, but a life–changing experience. It is a human experience, and it prepares the way for us to grow and transform our lives. Mistakes are essential to the development of life, just as change is. Nevertheless, change is said to prepare us for life and without change, life would persistently be the same. Admittedly, childhood experiences affect your adulthood. For instance, overprotective parents and parents who spoil their children are those who indirectly teach them to be afraid to change. In the same way, over protection can cause the children to be unready for the real world. When the kids do get out into the real world, they don't know how to handle it. The individual will be so used to what they knew when growing up that that is all they will expect. That same individual will not follow the pattern of change. A person that doesn't follow the pattern of change will most likely fear change itself. Furthermore, another reason people fear change is because they fear the past might replicate itself (Radwan). This reason links to the fear of failure in a way. As an illustration, a woman who ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 68. My Position On A Statewide Bathroom Policy In the endeavor to fully describe my position on this particular issue, it is my wish to begin with a short introduction to the history of myself. I am a straight, married man with many friends from all walks of life. These friends happen to include everyone from transgendered persons to straight persons, atheists to polytheists, and everyone in between. I consider myself open–minded, but do not mistake me for liberal–minded, as this term does not represent me. The line between hate and dislike is a rather thin one to say the least. The policy change debate–of which, if I may say, no one was invited to–of the private corporation that is the Target store franchise, is one that should not, and cannot be remarked upon by anyone in public office. There was an article last week regarding the possibility of Texas adopting a statewide bathroom policy that would require people to use the latrine that corresponds to their gender at birth. Perhaps, you, as I did, see the paradox created by the right. To be sticking their nose in business (a literal, private, business) where it does not belong by enforcing a state–governed rule on bathroom policy is ludicrous. Are these not the same people who complain about government making rules for private corporations? My statement earlier regarding the line between hate and dislike is growing ever more relevant.

Within the first few pages of the novel, Silence, Shūsaku Endō's throws his readers head on to the cruelty and darkness that the Christians had faced in 17th century feudal Japan. Father Rodrigues, a Jesuit priest sent to covert the Japanese to the Christian faith, he described the "immersion in the hell of boiling water at Unzen." the five of priests and two women went through to give up their faith.

This historical fiction novel follows the journey of three Jesuit priests from Portugal to investigate the actions that led one of their own superiors to abandon his faith and defaced the image of the church while also carrying out the covert Christian missions in the country. However, when they land in Maco, Father Valignano informs them that Inoue, the governor of Chikugo, are persecuting Christians by using various torture methods to apostatizing and killing them when they don't. According to Endo, the act of apostatizing was to step on the fumi–e, "a bronze portrait of Jesus or Mary mounted on a wooden frame.

Help others see how they will benefit from doing a job. This is when they truly become motivated. Do not avoid talking to a poor performer. It hurts them, the organization and yourself if the situation is not dealt with. Do not over control others. It is frustrating for them and time consuming for you. Focus on results, not on activities or personalities. Reward people for the results that they produce. Manage by walking around. See what people are doing and listen to what they have to say. A manager who sits in the office for their entire shift does not instill a sense of teamwork in their staff, nor do they hear the daily issues they should address. Make quality an obsession, especially on smaller items. Send thank you notes and memos. Provide workers with open, direct, and immediate feedback on their actual performance as compared to expected performance and they tend to correct their own deficiencies. Practice naive listening.

By mid 2012 several high value Syrian government officials were assassinated, including a defense minister and army general, and Hisham Ikhtiyar, who was the acting the intelligence chief at the time. During 2013 rebel groups, namely the FSA (Free Syrian Army), made major gains against government forces. One of the most notable being the seizure of Base 46, the largest military base near the Turkish border; from the armory rebels gained control of tanks, APCs, artillery cannons and more. While condemning the Syrian government on the world stage, countries such as The United States, Great Britain, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and even Israel have been lending continual support to rebel groups in terms of arms and intelligence. The continued military setbacks, combined with the foreign intervention, and heavy casualties put the Syrian army at a major disadvantage tactically. It is beyond a reasonable doubt that the Syrian Armed Forces, once considered one the strongest in the region, was on the verge of defeat.

"If all people shared this distorted thought process, then we could never have won Second World War and we would only have one uncle, not Uncle Sam, Uncle Adolf." Eventually, looking back, he realized the war was based on the false pretense of the Domino theory and the false doctrine of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. To explain, the domino theory asserted that if one free nation fell to communism, many more would follow and, as per President Eisenhower, its consequences would be "incalculable to the free world". America, seeking to justify its title of protector of the free world, fought the war with the aim to preserve a separate, independent, noncommunist government in North Vietnam. The war was fully escalated following the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which in essence, became the de facto authorization of military force in Vietnam until 1971. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was issued after the "attack" of USS Maddox by North Vietnamese torpedoes. Kennedy's claim that "all of Southeast Asia would be under control of communists and under domination of the Chinese" has been largely discredited as by 1981 none of the South East Asian countries had fallen victim communist guerillas. While historical evidence proved the "domino theory" false, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution seemed largely misguided from the outset; merely an excuse to start war with the North Vietnamese. ...
