...Grace Holden Professor Wei Quiz 4 4.18. 16 Commonly misconstrued, conflict aroused by Japan did not start with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but started many years prior in China. China had been at war with Japan since 1937 (though faced encroachments from Japan beginning in 1931), with the Marco Polo Bridge incident. The long fight that China put up against Japan up until 1941 is often discredited or even disregarded because the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States’ dramatic entrance into the war gets associated to Japan’s first military offenses. Crucially drained from fighting years prior to the official start of the world war, the battered state that China was in during the course of the war seems to take credit away from their resilience in battle, despite being at an obvious disadvantage when everyone else joined in on the fight against Japan. Viewed as weak and dependent on other Allied Powers to defeat Japan, China deserves to receive credit for being a major ally in World War 11 for the brutality they endured during and after the war, and for how their forgotten role significantly shaped how defeat would play out for the Axis Powers. Becoming a united force with the Allies was in China’s interests because it not only meant military support and resources China was critically in need of, but also it was an opportunity China to receive global recognition that seemed impossible prior to the War. Over the course of fighting four years against Japan’s dominate...

...granted the corporations to subdue the land and people, but the effect was the same. There is a sense of futility in struggling against an omnipotent power. It seems a bit ironic that these verses begin with the command to be fruitful. These particular corporations are listed for the purpose of drawing attention to the United States and the three major factors of the decimation of Central America; agriculture, mining, and military. At this time Coca-Cola imported coca leaves which eventually contributed to the spread of the drug trade in our day. (May, Clifford D.) Anaconda was a mining corporation that expanded into the region for many resources to include gold and silver. (Anaconda Copper) Ford Motors began building military jeeps during WW11 which were used by the U.S. military to help political factions in the area, beginning with the securing of the Panama Canal. (Ford Motor Company) United Fruit Company, aka UFCO, was the corporation that caused the most harm to the area through monopoly and corruption. This started as a petition for assistance in constructing a railroad, which bankrupted Costa Rica. In turn, it bankrupted Keith, who had grown bananas to feed his workers. Keith merged with a fruit and transport company and UFCO was born. (United Fruit Company) Due to large debts owed by Central American countries, UFCO negotiated for lands to increase their banana plantations, thereby reserving for itself. Juicy refers back to the scripture sited of being placed in a...

China did not enter the UN until 1971, China did not have a say in the UDHR. * Middle Eastern countries had a problem with declarations like Freedom to change Religion. A few ME countries signed UDHR, but have their own laws that supersede the UDHR. * Singapore’s own constitution supersedes the UDHR. * UDHR gives humanity a lot of freedom, however, this also goes against some of the world’s most prominent societies and religions. * ICCVR and ICESCR signed in 1966 plus a lot of individual conventions on human rights (genocide, women’s rights, children’s rights etc) Ignatieff: * Different interpretations of Religious Texts lead to different societal norms. * Is it the economic base that determines the culture and laws of society or is it the other way around?

...“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to become someone” -Coco Chanel. In the 1920’s it was almost expected to make something of yourself and that’s exactly what Coco Chanel did. As a successful fashion designer and business woman, she went very far in her lifetime. From her clothing, to her jewelry, to her perfume, Chanel knew exactly what women wanted to buy. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, also known as “Coco” Chanel, was born in Saumur, France on August 19, 1883. As a child, she grew up in poverty with her parents along with her five siblings. At 12, her life changed for the worst. Coco’s mother, Jeanne Devolle, died of bronchitis in 1895. After this tragedy took place, Coco’s father decided he didn’t want to take...

...historicized (Hall 1997, p. 46). Constructs the topic: Foucault argues that discourse constructs the topic; with this in mind when focusing on human rights discourse we are able to see how the individual rights of humans are spoken about on a domestic and International level, and the particular rights enthroned upon them. In this context human rights are understood as setting out certain standards of human behaviour. They originated in the West and are based on Western values that claim universality as the ‘truth’ which is outlined in Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR): ‘All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights’ (art 1). This notion of fundamental rights became prominent ‘in wake of the atrocities committed during WW11’ (Cohen 2008, p. 578) and now acting in compliance with universal human rights has become the standard by which states are measured. Defines and produces the objects of our knowledge: The idea that ‘discourse produces the objects of our knowledge’ (Hall 1997, p. 44) suggests that without discourse we are...

...Does the Cold War have its roots in the period prior to WW11? There are many reasons to believe that the seed of conflict between the west and east was planted before the Second War World had begun. Amongst them being factors of ideological differences, agreements such Brest-Litovsk treaty and the Russian Civil War. Other less significant causes being USSR dishonouring their debts they owed to western countries like France as well as the murder of the Tsars. However, it should be asserted how even with these factors there was still a substantial reason for the allied countries to be able to have stable relationship if other causes in the later future after the second war did not occur. These later causes include agreements such as the Nazi-Soviet Pact and Chamberlain’s Appeasement Policy. Events such as these helped increase tensions between the USSR and the USA as well as bringing the conflict into more focus and attention by two parties, causing increased mistrust and panic from both sides. This query will examine whether the Cold War did indeed have its roots in the period before War World Two and if so then to what extent are the factors significant as causes. Starting with the causes prior to the second war, one of the biggest and initial disputes between USSR and the other allies were their differing ideologies. USSR’s values as a communist state were entirely different to the capitalism of the West. Unlike Capitalism, communism supported closed economy in which trading...

...A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective I intend this essay to cover the subject matter, ranging from the use of authoritarian and/or permissive scripts through to the valuable use of the various modalities, Kinesthetic, Visual, Auditory, Olfactory and Gustatory. I also intend to, in brief, describe the relationship between Milton Erickson and Clark Hull, and their opposing opinions with regard to this subject matter. In support of the personalised induction, perhaps we should take note of the lyrics to the popular WW11 song “Bless Them All” as it proclaims, we are “The Long and the Short and the Tall…” and as such we all clothe ourselves differently, even when wearing something that it is uniform, due to the difference in our shapes and sizes. If you wear a size eight shoe, and borrow a size eight shoe from someone else, it will almost fit, but not quite. There will be little bumps and hollows in the shoe where they have molded to the owners foot. The same has to be said for all aspects of an individual’s personality, ranging from contrary tastes of reading materials right through to cultural and heritage differences. Even identical twins, which is arguably the closest two people can be, will develop separate and different personalities. It’s these “bumps and hollows” that make us us. You can present a group of people with the same situation, and because of the differences in the way people deal with things; their reactions are liable to be completely different...

...------------------------------------------------- Irish Neutrality: Sacred Cow or Pious Wish? Given the current controversy surrounding Irish neutrality and the use of Shannon Airport by American troops we, as Irish citizens, have every right to be concerned about where we stand on the question of neutrality. After all it is a treasured ‘sacred cow’ of the Irish Constitution. Or is it? A look at the record shows that, during World War II, Fianna Fail was not only a ‘slightly constitutional party’ but Ireland was also a slightly neutral country! | Crashed "Liberator" aircraft, Co. Donegal, 1943 | 'The focal point of the war against England and the one possibility of bringing her to her knees is in attacking sea communications in the Atlantic ' ,said Karl Donitz, Grand Admiral, German U-boats. For him, things were looking good. In December 1939, the opening year of World War 2, German submarines operating together with planes and surface raiders, accounted for 754,000 tons of Allied shipping losses. This represented 99.6 per cent of all shipping sunk in 1939. At this point in the war Britain had less than 3 weeks supply of wheat; stocks of many other commodities such as sugar had fallen to under 6 weeks supply. A solution had to be found, and quickly. England in great danger As Europe fell to the advancing German armies, the UK became more and more isolated and increasingly dependent on the Atlantic trade route for industrial raw materials and food. If this lifeline...

...There are miraculous things that happen every day in people's lives, and they try to explain what happened. Some say it is luck, but others think that it is the hand of God intervening in a person's life. The same thing can be said for Louis Zamperini and his life as written in the book Unbroken. Even though Louis did not know the hand of God was at work in his life there is evidence throughout Unbroken that suggests otherwise. Louis was stationed in Hawaii at a naval base in Oahu during WW11. At the base he was assigned to the plane nicknamed “The Green Hornet”. The crew went out on a reconnaissance mission to find another plane that was downed over the Pacific ocean. While on the mission one of the engines of the Green hornet failed and...

...Introduction To Sociology II notes by Mutangi G T Sociology is the study of human social life. Because human social life is so expansive, sociology has many sub-sections of study, ranging from the analysis of conversations to the development of theories to try to understand how the entire world works. This chapter will introduce you to sociology and explain why it is important, how it can change your perspective of the world around you, and give a brief history of the discipline. History Sociology is a relatively new academic discipline. It emerged in the early 19th century in response to the challenges of modernity. Increasing mobility and technological advances resulted in the increasing exposure of people to cultures and societies different from their own. The impact of this exposure was varied, but for some people included the breakdown of traditional norms and customs and warranted a revised understanding of how the world works. Sociologists responded to these changes by trying to understand what holds social groups together and also explore possible solutions to the breakdown of social solidarity. Early Sociological Studies Early sociological studies considered the field to be similar to the natural sciences like physics or biology. As a result, many researchers argued that the methodology used in the natural sciences were perfectly suited for use in the social sciences, including Sociology. The effect of employing the scientific method and stressing empiricism was the...
