...To start the tale of this war at the end of the World War Two American starts to get into some new foreign Policy to teach other nation American values. They thought that they had to take responsibility of world’s leadership and to spread democracy to place that did not have this system to “foster international environment of free trade” and peace through the world. Now think about it this idea now seems a bit egoistical to think that United States had to take responsibility for the world leadership. In the later years after the world war in President Truman reign the president had passed a doctrine called the Truman Doctrine in March 1947 which allow to contain the thing that would stand in American way of it image of peace. There was one thing that was standing in the wary of the United States image of the world peace which happen to be the Soviet Union and their communist way as they control part of Europe after World War two. In 1945 Viet Minh led by Ho Chi Minh who was a communist to take Hanoi and declare independence from France for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This would eventually led American to Vietnam as it was under threat of falling into Communist hands and help France reclaim their colonies in south Asia. In 1954 help set up new state of South Vietnam with Ngo Dinh Diem. This began fight...

...FBI & CIA Samantha Fink Rasmussen College Author Note This research is being submitted on August 31, 2013 for Instructor Rebecca Moore’s English Composition G124/ENC1101 Course. I had chosen this essay because; it was one that did not have an opinion. This course paper was one of the compare/contrast essay. I have never done an essay like this before this course and it was challenging. This paper really did take critical thinking and communication to the next level for me. However, challenging that it was for me I did the best that I could with the research that was available to me. FBI & CIA When people think of the FBI and CIA, they think about secret identities, spies, and security. Even when people watch movies, these two agencies are in them. These two agencies seem to work together in the movies also; they actually work together in real life. The FBI and CIA have been around for a long time but, how much do people know about the agencies that are here to protect us. Not a whole lot since they are not very publicly known. People know about these agencies but never actually know why they exist. Even though the FBI and CIA are similar government agencies, they have differences in territory, history, and job duties for the government. In the United States, the FBI has territory in all 50 states. The offices are located in either one major city; or depending on the size of the state, they may have multiple locations. (FBI, n.d.)The FBI has more than...

...finished writing the story of Douglas MacArthur. He was later called back to active duty in 1941 and was sent to defend the Philippines against the Japanese forces. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his efforts in that campaign. It was also during this time that he was promoted to the rank of five-star general; a rank that has only been achieved by five other men in the army, with the exceptions of George Washington and John J. Pershing. MacArthur was then placed in command of the U.S. occupation in Japan after their surrender from 1945 to 1951. To wrap up his career, he was placed in charge of the United Nations coalition in the Korean War from 1950 to 1951. He was eventually forced to resign his post on April 11, 1951, after Truman pressured him to do so. MacArthur continued to be such an influential figure in America that many thought he would run for the presidency. However,...

...Abstract The 2012 Presidential campaign will most likely be one of the tightest races of all time. The outcome will affect all Americans in many ways such as whether Obamacare will remain or go, the jobless rate in the country and the economy. Each candidate believes he is the best choice for America, but the best candidate for bringing jobs back to the United States (U.S.) is undoubtedly Mitt Romney. This paper will compare and contrast why Mitt Romney, with his business expertise, economic stance and political experience, is better than Obama to accomplish the difficult task of creating and bringing jobs back to America. Introduction Barrack Obama assumed the role of President of the U.S. in January 2009. The unemployment rate at that time was 7.8 percent. By the end of his first year in the White House, unemployment reached an astounding 9.9 percent. Average unemployment during his first year was 9.3 percent. As the table in Figure 1 shows, employment in the U.S. has not recovered by much as we approach his fourth year as our President. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012) President Obama may have a lot of experience in community service, but absolutely no experience as a businessman. His experience is that of an extremely successful politician, and politicians are the ones who have created the economic mess we are in today. It is time we all realized that the U.S. Government is a for profit “business”, and needs to be managed as such or the country will...

...Andrew Holloman ENG 1101 11/13/12 Compare and Contrast Essay Similarities between Harper Lee’s Childhood Life and Scout Finch’s Childhood Life The To Kill a Mockingbird novel written by Harper Lee is commonly considered one of the twentieth century's most widely read American novels. The vast majority of people that have read the novel are of the belief that the events contained within the novel are based on Harper Lee’s childhood experiences growing up in the South. However, absent of Harper Lee actually confirming the inspirational source for her novel; it’s still an assumption made by the masses. Nonetheless, we all have to agree that there are some very distinct similarities between Harper Lee’s childhood life and the childhood life of Scout Finch’s in the novel. Similarities that exist between Harper Lee’s childhood life and that of Scout Finch in the To Kill a Mockingbird novel were the facts that they were both raised in small rural towns, both of them were tomboys during their childhood years, and they both lived through times of racial prejudice. The first similarity between Harper Lee’s childhood life and Scout Finch’s childhood life is that they were both raised in small rural towns in Alabama. Harper Lee grew up in the small rural town of Monroeville, Alabama that. The town has a small closely knit population where everyone knew their neighbors and knew their neighbor’s business. Aside from this the town of Monroeville is riddled with poverty and racial...

...Iraq & Vietnam: A comparison and contrast Kirkland Young HUMN 410 Professor Harris 11/17/09 Introduction Many pundits who opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq now compare it to the invasion of Vietnam by viewing the daily attacks on U.S. soldiers as indications of repeating mistakes that were made in Vietnam. In their view, “the United States has yet again stumbled into a foreign quagmire – a protracted and indecisive political and military struggle from which they are not likely to remove themselves without considerable loss of life and currency.” (Terrill, p. 1) However, profound differences separate the domestic and international objectives of the Vietnam and Iraq wars even though there are many similarities these similarities can be misleading. The Vietnam War was over the spread of communism in the Indochina region of the world. The French and the Japanese had been thoroughly conquered by the Vietnamese led by a Ho Chi Minh who had an overwhelming amount of support from his compatriots. In 1954 the president of the U.S.A. attempted to divide the country of Vietnam into two opposing governments. Selecting a former Vietnamese official named Ngo Dinh Diem and planting him in South Vietnam to oppose the elections that would unite the country. This was done because an intelligence estimate showed that the election would be won by Ho Chi Minh and thus would give “control of the associated states (Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) in the region – the three parts...

...The Evolution of Intelligence in the United States John Doe Utica University The Evolution of Intelligence in the United States The beginning of intelligence in the United States dates back to the Revolutionary War and America’s first president, George Washington. President Washington requested that Congress set aside a ‘secret service fund’ for clandestine and secret activities (Revolutionary Ideas, 2007). After leading the Continental Army during the war, he knew how important it was to have secret agencies analyze and protect the new country. The use of secret agents, counterintelligence, and the clandestine paramilitary, have been used extensively to set up elaborate deceptions, gather sensitive information, and coordinate operations to cause sabotage towards other adversaries or countries that wished to cause us harm throughout the history of our country (Revolutionary Ideas, 2007). Although President Washington set a growing foundation of creating and fostering the need and use of foreign intelligence, it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) that helped combined the efforts of the state and war departments to coordinate efforts on a combined government-wide level (History of the CIA, 2007). The events of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 prompted FDR to make a change to all government intelligence. FDR asked World War I veteran William J. Donovan to draft a new plan for an intelligence service that would combine all those departments’ efforts and make...

... The United States attacked communism and backed, at least in theory, liberalism. Consequently, the United States criticized the Soviet record on human rights and the suppression of civil and religious institutions. In turn the Soviets, led by Nikita Khrushchev, were critics of the failings of laissez‐faire capitalism and the wide gulf between rich and poor in western European and especially the United States. Further, the Soviets recognized the shortcomings of the collectivization and the brutal use of terror during the Stalinist years. In reality, both the Russians and Americans increasingly were practitioners of reformed versions of communism and capitalism. The heart of the American policy, as expressed clearly in the Truman Doctrine, was to limit the spread of communism...

...leaders. In this research report, the current perspective on difference is general with leader-Member-Exchange Theory and the Classical Theory. The framework of future research on Leader-Member-Exchange theory and the classical model are discussed. Introduction: The study of leadership is not only from management literature, but also from real life. Most of the organizations follow fashionable ideas, theories, and concepts about adequate an effective leadership. The overall goal is to ensure that managers are important in determining management styles and guidelines. The leader is also responsible for setting strategy and creating a vision and mission for the future. Leadership is a competence to get workers interested to in their work (Truman n.d.). Effective leaders encourage and lead workers in the business organization (Bavelas A 1969). The study of this essay is to know how leadership works in the fruit manufacturing SPC Ardmona. First of all, leaders are able to influence business performance-orientation. In SPC Ardmona, the leader makes a complex management orientation for the business, even the managers are not able to manage efficiently under this system. The main reason for this is because the leaders are working in the opposite direction from the employees. In fact, a leader needs to try new approaches in delivering ideas that stimulate and excite the employees (Zalenznik 1992). Sometimes, there are over 300 pages attached to the SPC Enterprise Agreement, which is...

...Read the selection and answer the questions that follow. From “The Most Dangerous Game” – Richard Connell (In this short story, the protagonist Rainsford (a celebrated hunter) falls overboard from a yacht that is sailing through the Caribbean Sea. He manages to swim to a nearby island where walks to a large mansion and meets General Zaroff, and his servant Ivan, who make a past time of hunting human men on the island. As a game, Zaroff gives each man minimal supplies and the opportunity to evade him for 3 days. If he cannot find and kill the man by the end of the third day, then he allows the man to leave the island. It is the end of the third day and Rainsford has managed so far to evade Zaroff, but now he is closing in on him…) “At daybreak Rainsford, lying near the swamp, was awakened by the sound that made him know that he had new things to learn about fear. It was a distant sound, faint and wavering, but he knew it. It was the baying of a pack of hounds. Rainsford knew he could do one of two things. He could stay where he was and wait. That was suicide. He could flee. That was postponing the inevitable. For a moment he stood there, thinking. An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp. The baying of the hounds grew nearer, nearer, ever nearer. On a ridge Rainsford climbed a tree. Down a watercourse, not a quarter of a mile off, he could see the bush moving. Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure...

...believed that people should make decisions that would not bring harm to other people. He, like many other management professionals, understood the many approaches philosophers have taken to understand ethics. However, he wanted to show how and where business ethics fit into the conflicting rules of ethics and human behavior. Ethics of Prudence and Self Development Dr. Drucker used his experience as a philosophy and a religion professor as well as his experience answering difficult ethical political questions as a method of drawing his conclusion regarding ethics in business. He believed that a major tradition of ethics in the West, Ethics of Prudence” would prove to be valuable in understanding business ethics. He noted that Senator Harry Truman gave an Army witness excellent guidance in the years of World War II: "Generals should never do anything that needs to be explained to a Senate Committee-there is nothing one can explain to a Senate Committee” (Drucker, 1981, p. 27). This suggests that because Generals were leaders, they should always be aware of their actions. Therefore,...

...Mr. Macomber English 3 AP Syllabus 1.5 English 3 AP Course Overview Students in this introductory college-level course read and carefully analyze a broad and challenging range of nonfiction prose selections, deepening their awareness of rhetoric and how language works. Through close reading and frequent writing, students develop their ability to work with language and texts in order to establish greater awareness of purpose and strategy, while strengthening their own composing abilities. C16 Students examine rhetoric in essays, images, movies, novels, and speeches. They frequently confer about their writing by conferencing in class. C 14 Feedback is given both before and after students revise their work to help them develop logical organization, enhanced by specific techniques to increase coherence. Rhetorical structures, graphic organizers, and work on repetition, transitions, and emphasis are addressed. I comment on individual drafts, and I write memos to the class in a blog about whole-class concerns such as specificity of quotations, parallelism, and transitions. C13 Simultaneously, students review the simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentence classifications. We examine word order, length, and surprising constructions. Loose and periodic sentences are introduced. We examine sample sentences and discuss how change affects tone, purpose, and credibility of the author/speaker. In addition, feedback on producing sentence structure variety...
