...Introduction: India and Vietnam are both Asian countries who are quite similar in a number of aspects, and as such it is important to examine and analyze how globalization and other factors have had an impact on them from a social, political, and economic perspective. During the late part of the 20th century, the International Monetary Fund and other organizations collaborated with countries that were struggling economically and offered financial assistance and the creation and implementation of policies. Globalization has had a significant impact on countries around the world; both positive and negative outcomes have resulted from various factors pertaining to globalization. Revolutions such as the Arab Spring uprisings have been influenced by aspects of globalization, such as the changing political sphere and the unstable economic market. Furthermore, the revolutions are more successful in contemporary times as opposed to fifty or one hundred years ago because globalization has provided the world with many comforts, such as the convenience individuals possess in the usage of technology—namely social networking websites. Therefore, it is important to analyze and examine the social, political, and economic changes that have been brought about by globalization, the changing global-politics, as well as social and economic issues that may have caused by or formed after military conflict. India and Vietnam are two countries that are quite similar in terms of GPD per capita rates...

...During this period, rock music had transitioned beyond just being a popular culture. Sinclair was the manager of MC5, the popular political rockers from Detroit. The group had a lot of influence on the counterculture of the 1960s. Sinclair attempted to merge music and politics because of the great influence that artists, as well as music records, had on the society. To a greater extent, he succeeded in this quest more than most of his counterparts. The article examines various ways in which rock and roll was used as a cultural revolution weapon. Young people also took the lead in the 1960s counterculture as a result of the influence of rock and roll and several famous artists at the time. The 1960s saw The Beatles take the music scene by storm. Their music appealed to many young people. Rock and Roll proved to be a great weapon of cultural revolution as many people were able to identify with the messages put across by the artists in their music. The artists decide to awaken the society to the ills going on in the world. Through music, they showed the younger generation that if anyone wants to realize any real change in the world, the journey must start with the individual. Simply standing by and hoping that things would change was not an option. It would mean that the young people have left their fate to be decided by the older generation. Rock and Roll, therefore, played a pivotal role in getting the younger generation involved...

Introduction to Civil War The American Civil War was a war fought within the United States of America between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy) starting from 1861 and ending in 1865. This war was one of the most destructive events in American history, costing more than 600,000 lives. It was thought to be one that helped shape the character of the American individual today. From the Southern point of view, this war was a War of Rebellion, or a War for Southern Independence. From the Northern point of view this war was seen as a revolution. This unfortunate war started as a result of many years of differences between the Union and the Confederacy. It erupted after many years of conflict building up between the two regions. Between the North and the South there lay deep economic, social and political differences, but it is important to understand that Slavery was the root of cause of these differences. II. Social Causes There were many factors that contributed to the onset of the Civil War. Socially, the North and the South were built on different standards. The South, or the Slave States, was a slave-based community that followed...

...entertain American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The group are discovered by a talent scout (Dave Lovelace) and form a musical performance group called The Sapphires. The movie is set in the 1960s during a time of poverty, discrimination, riots and revolution; taking place mostly during the Vietnam war. The Sapphires is focused on the aftermath of the Stolen Generation, rather than the actual removal of children. The film illustrates the suppression of Indigenous people and women in the 1960s as it follows the journey of growing empowerment of four fiercely determined women, despite unavoidable barriers such as dispossession. The historical context of The Sapphires shows us the progress of racial relations in Australia. One year before the arrival of The Sapphires in Vietnam, the 1967 Referendum ordered for several amendments to be made to the constitution. The referendum was a national vote to ask people whether two references in the Australian Constitution should be removed. These references discriminated against Aboriginal people as they allowed for them not be counted as people in a national census and not to have the same rights as...

Soldiers have been performing police duties from the time of the Revolutionary War, when these duties were assigned mainly to a mounted police force called the "troops of the Marechaussee.” Soldiers as the Veteran's Reserve Corps and Provost Corps performed military police duties during the Civil War. MPs served with distinction in the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, and in Vietnam. Because of their distinguished service in Vietnam, the Military Police Corps was designated a combat support and service of the Army on 14 October 1968. Whenever the United States engaged in warfare, some form of police element emerged to assist its leaders in maintaining various aspects of discipline. Surfacing when necessity dictated, the Military Police Corps evolved through several phases, each meeting the needs of a particular period in American history. Assuming increased responsibilities, military police established their place, as combat soldiers who displayed the professional knowledge and flexibility have needed to perform a variety of missions in war and peace.
