2007 - Honors Presentation about Venezuela - Fidel and Chavez
This paper aims to compare the policies, internationalism, and rhetoric of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Cuban leader Fidel Castro. The author conducted research using newspapers, documentaries, speeches, books, and interviews. Several theories are discussed, including the idea that Chavez follows a "bourgeois left" model similar to Castro. The relationship between Venezuela and Cuba is examined, as well as how their different historical contexts have led to variations in their socialist policies and international involvement. The research seeks to understand Chavez's influence in Latin America and importance to US interests in the region.

This document provides an overview of the presidencies of Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. It discusses Ford taking over after Nixon's resignation and facing economic struggles. It then examines Carter presenting himself as an outsider in 1976, appealing to Christian fundamentalists, but struggling with crises and inflation during his term. The document also analyzes how American society changed in the 1970s, with demographic shifts and cultural changes reflected in television shows like All in the Family.
Vietnam
Over 58,000 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War, with thousands more disabled or losing limbs. The war pitted communist North Vietnam and Viet Cong forces against South Vietnam and its ally the United States from 1954 to 1975. It resulted in over 3 million total deaths, including over 500,000 Americans involved at the peak and more than half of all deaths being Vietnamese civilians. Growing opposition in the US led to bitter divisions over American involvement before and after US withdrawal in 1973.

FDR expanded the presidency and established the principle that the government was responsible for citizens' welfare. The New Deal restored the economy but had mixed results for women and racial minorities.

The End of History? And the last man?
Francis Fukuyama published an article titled "The End of History?" in 1989 that argued the end of the Cold War marked the end point of humanity's sociocultural evolution and the victory of Western liberal democracy and free-market capitalism. He suggests history has reached its telos, or end goal. However, some argue history is more complex, as seen through events like the Srebrenica genocide in 1995, 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, and ongoing conflicts in areas like Ukraine and Syria. Fukuyama acknowledges his thesis requires revisions to account for ongoing challenges to liberal democracy from issues like climate change, terrorism, and new technologies that could disrupt society like artificial intelligence.
Wh post wwii keynote
Post-WWII brought new tensions as the Cold War emerged between the US and USSR, dividing Europe and Asia. The UN was formed to promote global cooperation. Decolonization led to the rise of independent nations in Asia and Africa in the late 1940s-1960s. While many nations transitioned to democracy, some faced instability and conflicts. Increased globalization connected the world through advances in technology, trade, and cultural exchange, but ongoing issues around human rights, security, and the environment remain unresolved.

United States History Ch. 17 Section 4 Notes
Critics rejected the conformity of 1950s culture, expressed by writers like Kerouac and Ginsberg. Many Americans lived in poverty hidden from the suburbs, including in inner cities and rural areas. Minority groups faced discrimination in housing and jobs. Government programs aimed to address urban and rural poverty, but sometimes made the problems worse by displacing communities and concentrating poverty.
The Iraq War
The document discusses various aspects of the Iraq War over its seven year duration. It describes images of death and memorials for fallen soldiers. It notes the war's financial costs and criticisms from protesters. Scenes from the war zone portray violence and civilians caught in crossfire. One aim of the war was to establish a democratic government in Iraq, but much of the country was destroyed over years of fighting between US forces and insurgent groups like al-Qaeda.
2008vus10c depression hardships
The document discusses the causes and impact of the Great Depression. The key causes were overspeculation in stocks using borrowed money, the Federal Reserve's failure to prevent widespread bank failures, and high protective tariffs that reduced international trade. The impact on Americans included high unemployment, homelessness, bank closures that caused people to lose savings, declining demand for goods, growing labor unrest, and farm foreclosures that led to migration as people searched for work.
Good Firms vs Bad Firm
The authors analyze and retest the findings of Rumelt's essay on corporate effects. Through simulations where they vary the scale of corporate effects, the authors find that Rumelt's results did not accurately reflect the importance of corporate effects. Specifically, their simulations showed that variance component magnitudes do not linearly represent importance, and that Rumelt's findings should be interpreted to mean the corporate effect is smaller but still important, not unimportant. The authors provide a rigorous counterargument and critique of Rumelt's methods to further understanding in the field of strategy.

Here are the key differences between socialism and communism:
- Socialism allows for some private ownership of business and property, while communism advocates public/government ownership of all major means of production like factories and infrastructure.
- Politically, socialism can exist within a democratic system with multiple parties, while communism is typically a one-party totalitarian system led by a vanguard party.
- Under socialism the goal is public ownership of utilities, banks, and major industries, but not necessarily complete government control of the economy. Communism aims for complete public control and abolition of private property and business ownership.
So in summary, socialism advocates a mixed economy with public and private sectors working together, while communism seeks a fully planned public economy with

1. For a long time, American historians have interpreted the Reconstruction of the South a failure for the newly freed slaves. However, historians today are explaining the events of the Civil War and Reconstruction as nothing less than revolutionary. In the following essay explain why historians have seen this period in American history as a failure, and then explain how they can now interpret it as a success.
American historians associate the failure of reconstruction of the south to the newly freed slaves. Nevertheless, lack of political focus also influenced the failure. In this case, the process of eliminating the freed slaves who had gained civil liberties made them fail to bring long term solution to the issue of racial integration in the south. Notably, after the civil war, the freed slaves worked towards reviving the economy of the south and rebuilding their shattered landscape. Despite their efforts, there were several divisions in the federal government regarding the reconstruction process resulted into the failure to attain the goals. At the time, President Lincoln came up with a plan giving the slaves at least 10 percent in order to rejoin the union.
Following the assassination of President Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, a former owner of slaves came up with another plan for reconstruction. Unfortunately, his plan did not survive for long as the republicans worked a plan to ensure that the southerners were not seated. Indeed, lack of political focus was also associated with the increased political prosperity in the north as compared with the south. Therefore, the slaves in the south did not have a larger say in drawing the attention to reconstruction process (Mark and Garraty, 2002). Indeed, there was a contrast between the south and the south something that harbored hatred between the two regions. The integration of the freed slaves into the society also played a great role in the failure of reconstruction. Despite the various promises made by the freed slaves, when they were elected to the congress, they did nothing to help their people in the south. They also failed to end racial inequity hence the oppression of the African Americans continued in the south.

Wirthumer - Game of United Nations
This document discusses whether international organizations like the United Nations could take on the role of global stability traditionally filled by a hegemonic power. It first reviews the hegemonic stability theory and how the declining influence of the US has left a power vacuum. It then analyzes the multi-polar political landscape with no single dominant power. Finally, it evaluates the UN's ability to address global challenges and provide stability based on its effectiveness, principles of fairness and integrity, and capacity for "great swordsmanship" or strong leadership. While the UN has had some successes, the document questions whether it can truly fill the hegemon role in today's complex geopolitical environment.
Chapter 8 cold war (edsel jasmine sison's conflicted copy 2013 03-07)
The document discusses the origins and development of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. It explains that the Cold War emerged due to competing ideologies between capitalism and communism, feelings of mistrust between the former allies, and the breakdown of wartime alliances once their common enemy of Nazi Germany was defeated. During the Cold War period, Europe was divided between Western countries aligned with the US and Eastern countries dominated by the Soviet Union. The global tensions of the Cold War also impacted countries in other regions as the superpowers exported their competing ideologies.

Globalization, which is often defined as the widening, deepening, and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, has been viewed as a key organizing principle of global politics in the post-Cold War era. Yet the concept itself is fundamentally contested and its impact on the state is hotly debated, with liberal economists, global skeptics, and transformationalists each offering competing understandings of the process.
Contrast the perspectives on globalization offered by liberal economists, global skeptics, and transformationalists, focusing in particular on the implications of their respective viewpoints on the power and authority of the nation state. Does globalization undermine the authority and power of the nation state? Why?(500 to 700 words)

The document summarizes the key events and impacts of the Great Depression, which began with the U.S. stock market crash in October 1929 and spread worldwide. It discusses several potential causes, including the stock market crash, aftermath of WWI, and bank failures in the U.S. The Depression had widespread psychological, cultural, political, and economic effects around the world. It caused high unemployment, business failures, and government responses like public works programs. While political changes occurred in some countries, the U.S. experienced less change due to its long history of democracy and belief in the American Dream.
Americanization
The document discusses the phenomenon of Americanization and its impact around the world. It argues that over the past few decades, American capitalism and culture have rapidly spread globally through mechanisms like American companies and brands, English language, Hollywood movies, music and fashion. However, this spread of American influence has also led to misperceptions of American life and resentment in some countries. Some see Americanization as a threat to local traditions and a form of cultural imperialism, and it may have even fueled terrorism against the U.S. A few countries are trying to curb Americanization within their borders by supporting local culture and businesses. Overall, the rapid global spread of American culture through economic and technological forces is changing societies worldwide.

The 2008 financial crisis caused widespread confusion and challenged established beliefs. Economists largely failed to predict the crisis due to two key errors: extrapolating past trends without recognizing growing risks, and overstating the ability of financial innovation to spread and reduce risk. Mounting household, financial, and total debt in countries like the US and UK fueled risk, yet models treated debt as benign. The crisis exposed flaws in the dominant view of a "New Age" financial system that could sustain unlimited, riskless debt.

Introduction
The Second World War took place in the years between 1939 and 1945 and involved many countries around the world, including the United States of America. During this war, the countries involved had grouped themselves into two alliances namely the Allied forces and the Axis forces. The former consisted of the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the Republic of China, and France among other countries. The latter, on the other hand consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan among others.
The war came to an end in 1945 after the United State’s decisive bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, sealing the Allied forces’ victory over the Axis forces. As a result of this war, there was massive loss of lives among the military personnel and also civilians, in addition to the destruction of property and the ruining of world economies. Most important to this paper, the Second World War also affected United State’s global perspective as will be discussed in the next part.
How World War II affected America’s Global Perspective
The Second World War led to the emergence of the United States as an important global player. Together with the Soviet Union, the two countries emerged as world superpowers and their competing ideologies of capitalism versus communism in the years to come ushered in the Cold War which lasted for forty years, until the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s.
Secondly, the war changed the way the United States viewed global stability and security. Recognizing the failure of the League of Nations which had been formed after the First World War with the primary mandate to prevent the outbreak of another war, the United States with its allies oversaw the dissolution of the body and its replacement with the current United Nations. At the same time, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written by a committee presided by Former First Lady Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt and the instrument, which forms an important cornerstone as far as human rights are concerned, was adopted by members of the newly established United States. It is also important to mention that to correct the atrocities committed during the war by the Nazi regime and the Japanese forces, the Nuremburg Trials were conducted to prosecute and punish the architects of the horrors of the war.
Thirdly, as was noted earlier, the war saw the near-destruction of world economies, especially in Europe and Japan. The United States therefore came up with a stimulus package that was aimed at rebuilding the ruined economies. Through the Marshall Plan, the economies of France, Great Britain, Belgium, West Germany, Italy, as well as Netherlands were revived in a record of less than five years.
Lastly, one can appreciate the fact that the war saw the emergence of the United States as the most powerful naval and military force in the world. As such, t.
C5 - Democracys Third Wave
This document provides an overview and analysis of the third wave of democratization that began in the 1970s. It discusses five key factors that contributed to the wave, including economic failures of authoritarian regimes, global economic growth, changes in the Catholic Church, shifts in policies of external actors like the US and Europe, and the demonstration or "snowball" effect of early transitions. It notes many of these factors have weakened or been exhausted by 1990. It also examines potential factors that could produce a "third reverse wave" eliminating democratic gains, such as economic crises, polarization, exclusion of groups from power, and military or executive coups ending democracy.

The document discusses westward expansion in the late 19th century United States. During this time period, the US expanded significantly westward through the acquisition of new territories. President Thomas Jefferson believed those who worked the land were "chosen by God," indicating support for westward expansion. New technologies like the railroad and telegraph helped enable the settlement of the expanding western frontier. However, westward expansion also led to conflict with Native American tribes already inhabiting the lands.
