The document outlines the increasing US involvement in Vietnam from supporting France's colonial rule in the 1940s-50s to defending South Vietnam from communism in the 1960s. It describes how the US backed France's reoccupation of Vietnam after WWII. The Vietminh resisted and gained control of North Vietnam by 1954 while the US-supported South was established. Attempts to reunify the country through elections failed, fueling the Vietcong insurgency in the South. As the South's government weakened in the early 1960s, the US role expanded under presidents Kennedy and Johnson through bombing campaigns and greater military commitment.

The document discusses globalization and efforts by the Centre for Life Long Learning (CLF) to help Singapore's Malay/Muslim community embrace and engage with globalization. CLF conducted focus groups that revealed a lack of understanding of how youth can participate successfully in globalization. In response, CLF launched several projects in 2008, including forums on finding a place in the global stage and taking early global steps, as well as a globalization seminar for parents. They also identified internship opportunities abroad and created a Global Malay Portal website to connect local and overseas Malay/Muslims. The goal is to empower youth to see themselves as global citizens and provide support for grasping opportunities in a globalized world.

Knowledge transfer race-by Aviroop Banik,Rizvi Institute of Management studie...Aviroop Banik
This document discusses the importance of intellectual capital, human capital, and knowledge management for companies. It notes that only 20% of knowledge is typically documented and shared within a company, while 80% remains undocumented and unshared. It also emphasizes that companies must continuously work to create, capture, share, and reuse knowledge through processes like knowledge transfer in order to stay competitive in business and avoid falling behind competitors. Failing to properly leverage intellectual capital and knowledge assets can doom a company's long-term success.
The document summarizes key events of World War 2 across multiple sections.

During the Cold War era in the United States, fear of communism and communist influence led to widespread investigations and blacklisting. President Truman established the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 to investigate communist influence. The HUAC interrogated citizens, including Hollywood figures, about their political views and ties. Those who refused to testify or were named as communists, like the Hollywood Ten, were blacklisted from working in the film industry. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by accusing government employees and others of being communists without providing evidence, until his accusations were eventually discredited.
The document provides a summary of key events and issues during the presidency of Warren G. Harding from 1921 to 1923. It covers topics like the aftermath of World War 1, including war debts owed by France and Britain to the US. It also discusses the Washington Naval Conference of 1921-1922, the Fordney-McCumber Tariff, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 which renounced war. Domestic issues like inflation in Germany and corruption scandals during Harding's administration, including the Teapot Dome Scandal, are also summarized.
The document summarizes the United States' acquisition of new territories and expansion of influence after the Spanish-American War.

This document discusses different skills and subjects that are important for learning and success, including how to learn effectively, the value of liberal arts in making connections across disciplines, and how passion and curiosity are more important than raw intelligence alone. It also stresses the importance of right-brain creativity, being able to think outside the box, and having a flexible free market economy that allows for experimentation.
The document discusses aspects of life on the American home front during World War 2. It provides multiple choice questions and answers about key topics like: the country that emerged as the dominant global power after the war (USA); America's low unemployment rate of 1.2% in 1944; a 25% increase in food production during the war; over 6 million women entering the workforce; more than a million newcomers pouring into California between 1941-1944; and the GI Bill of Rights being passed to help veterans transition to civilian life. It also addresses racial tensions in Detroit that led to 34 deaths in 1943 and Japanese Americans being interned due to war hysteria.
The document provides information about key events and decisions around the end of World War II, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Japan, and postwar settlements. It asks multiple choice questions about these topics, such as why Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan, where the first bomb was detonated, how many people died as a result of both bombs, and where Japan surrendered.
After invading Poland in 1939, Germany next invaded France. The Germans used a new rapid military tactic called "Blitzkrieg" or lightning war in Poland. The USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact agreeing not to attack each other. In 1940, over 400,000 British and French soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk back to Britain. The Battle of Britain primarily involved aircraft. Besides Germany, the USSR also invaded Poland in 1939 according to the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed by Germany and the USSR.
Mao Zedong led China from 1949 until his death in 1976 and instituted communist rule. During his rule, he started the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution to modernize China's economy and remove capitalist influences. However, a lack of modern technology hampered China's growth. In the 1970s, Deng Xiaoping implemented market-based reforms and the "Four Modernizations" of industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defense to open China to foreign trade and investment. This led to rapid economic growth and rising living standards, though it also increased inequality. The Chinese government's violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 drew international criticism. In 1997, Great
The collapse of the Soviet Union began under Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s with policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). This led to unrest in Soviet republics and nationalist movements. Lithuania was the first republic to declare independence from the Soviet Union in 1990, which the Soviet Union attempted to suppress by attacking the Lithuanian capital. An attempted coup by communist hardliners against Gorbachev failed in 1991. This weakened the Soviet Union further and led to the independence of the remaining republics, effectively dissolving the Soviet Union.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Cold War and collapse of communist authoritarian rule in Eastern Europe. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall allowed pent up energies to be unleashed in former Soviet bloc countries as democratic governments and free market systems spread. This seismic event liberated the people who had been living under Soviet communist rule and domination.
America emerged as a world power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained overseas territories and influence after defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The US also played a larger role in international affairs, such as negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This period saw the beginning of America's rise to become a global superpower in the 20th century.
Imperialism and America discusses reasons for US imperialism in the late 19th century. Key reasons included the thirst for new markets to address overproduction and the belief in social Darwinism that nations should compete in the global free market. The US competed for influence especially in Asia, notably China and Korea. One influential text was Alfred Thayer Mahan's book on sea power. The US purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million and overthrew the Hawaiian government led by Sanford Dole to annex the islands, partly due to sugar plantation owners' desires.
The document discusses women's roles and status in American society before the 19th century. Before the Civil War, most women were expected to marry and take care of families, as few had opportunities for jobs or education. By the late 19th century, options began expanding as college became a possibility in addition to marriage. The majority of working women in the 1870s held jobs as servants or farm laborers. Key events like the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire drew attention to the need for workplace and voting rights reforms.
The Progressive Movement aimed to address issues created by industrialization and urbanization in the late 19th century. Reformers sought to protect social welfare, create economic reform, and foster efficiency. The Social Gospel Movement attempted to help the poor through community centers and churches. Some Progressives embraced socialism to improve conditions for factory workers. Muckrakers like Robert La Follette wrote about corruption in politics and business. City bosses often rewarded political supporters with jobs and kickbacks. The Keating-Owen Act of 1916 prohibited child labor. Before the 17th Amendment, state legislatures chose US Senators.
Rome and Carthage competed for influence in the Mediterranean, leading to three Punic Wars between the two powers. The First Punic War began as a local conflict in Sicily but resulted in Rome gaining control over Sicily and extracting money from Carthage. Hannibal later invaded Italy by crossing the Alps during the Second Punic War, defeating Roman armies at Cannae, but was unable to take Rome. Rome ultimately defeated Carthage at Zama. Nearly 50 years later, the Third Punic War ended with Rome destroying Carthage to eliminate it as a rival in the Mediterranean.
The document provides multiple choice questions about ancient civilizations including the Minoans, Hittites, Phoenicians, Sumerians, and Babylonians. It asks which civilization worshipped bulls (Minoans), was located in modern-day Turkey (Hittites), was not located in Mesopotamia (Minoans), existed first (Sumerians), used early iron weapons (Hittites), was not a collection of city-states (Phoenicians), was known for seafaring (Phoenicians), was known for dye making (Phoenicians), and made a purple dye associated with royalty (Phoenicians).
The document discusses the major social changes in the United States during the 1920s as the country transitioned from a rural to urban society. It describes how prohibition led to clashes between traditional rural values and new secular urban cultures. Prohibition failed to stop alcohol consumption and instead empowered organized crime which fought over control of the illegal alcohol trade. By the mid-1920s, prohibition had little support and was repealed in 1933 with the 21st amendment. The 1920s was also a period of conflict between science and religion exemplified by the Scopes Monkey Trial over the teaching of evolution in schools.
The document discusses various multiple choice questions related to the decline of the Roman Empire:
1. The last of the "Five Good Emperors" was Marcus Aurelius.
2. The group that did NOT disrupt trade in the Roman Empire was the Roman Senate.
3. The drastic drop in the value of money is called inflation.
4. Poor Roman farmers abandoned their lands due to poor weather and increased use of large estates called latifundia.
5. The Romans increasingly used mercenaries to fight in the Roman army.
6. The thing Diocletian did NOT do was draft prisoners of war.
The document appears to be a series of multiple choice questions about ancient Rome. It tests knowledge about Roman history from the transition from Republic to Empire, important figures like the Gracchus brothers and Julius Caesar, and the establishment of the Roman Empire under Augustus. The questions cover topics such as the killing of Caesar, the first triumvirate, and what Octavian named himself as Rome's first emperor. It also shows the scores of two competing teams and several participants.
