I. Introduction
As being stated by Samuel P. Huntington, the Clash of Civilization is a hypothesis in which the primary sources of conflicts in the post-cold war era are more dominant to the people’s cultural and religious identities. Civilization has three attributes which are the objective elements – language, history religion, customs, and institution; the subjective elements – variable levels of self-identification; and civilization itself is dynamic – they rise and fall, divide and merge.

In my opinion, the Anti-Americanism hatred in the Arab World is caused mainly by the U.S. who is fully supporting Israel in the economic, political, and military support in order to able to defeat and humiliate the Arab nations. The U.S. certain actions have given and produced profound grievances throughout the Arab World. Arab and Muslim hatred of the U.S. are largely inclined in a form of self-interested manipulation by several groups – groups that use Anti-Americanism to distract public attention from other - within Arab societies. Anti-Americanism in the Arab …show more content…

I had familiarized myself with the history of the question of a Jewish homeland and the position of the British and the Arabs. I was skeptical, as I read over the whole record up to date, about some of the views and attitudes assumed by the “striped-pants boys” - the State Department (Truman, 1965). Clearly he did not agree with what his administration wanted to do. Truman would have been happy if the UN would solve the conflict, but that was not tangible. The UN was newly formed, but more importantly, no significant proposal could get past the General Assembly or the Security Council with American support.

Humorously enough, though it designates an angering form of admittance, his wording and raw intel creates a cause for the opposer of his work to look less than on par with his easily validated rationalization of American providentals. Throughout the snippet of his book reviewed he makes a repetitive use of the phrasing “[t]he country I live in(...)” and “[t]he America I knew(...)” Which coerces the reader to believe that the man’s words they’re briefing through hold a degree of sage weight to them. However, when it comes to the support he provides, his use of references intervenes with the flow of his argument.

Katherine DeLong Professor Lampley RSOC 184 December 10, 2015 Final Project During this quarter, we have discussed in depth the interwoven nature of race, nation, and religion. These three concepts have proven to be deeply intertwined, to the point of inextricability. In order to discuss one of the three categories, one must simultaneously consider the repercussions of the other two. This concept has become clearer throughout the course, and it has taught me a lot about how these facets interact.

The United States is an ever-evolving country that learns and benefits from not just its mistakes but right doings as well. Imperialism is the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies. Many imperialists claimed moral responsibility as the reason to expand American land claims, the anti-imperialists decried it because of the negative effects on the colonized. In both camps, the issue of race relations was the source of most similarities and differences. The pro-imperialist group felt it was the duty of the American race to colonize others and subjugate those peoples without offering citizenship, while the anti-imperialists felt it was unfair to foreigners to

“Wilsonianism” is an ideology on foreign policy that aims to make the world a better place and create world peace. Walter LaFeber describes it as, “Making the world safe for democracy, free trade, and capitalism.” Throughout much of history this has been a goal for the United States of America. In fact, this premise produced the historiographical perspective of the Domestic is Foreign and Vice Versa. Four documents specifically relate to how “Wilsonianism” produced the perspective of the Domestic is Foreign and Vice Versa, Wilsons Fourteen Points, the Atlantic Charter, the Truman Doctrine, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Many view the Western Powers as innocent in this conflict, however this article states otherwise. It is valuable because one person/country’s opinion should not count more than another’s. • Limitations – This source is opinionated, one-sided and biased against the Western Powers as it is written from the perspective of a person intentionally questioning the norm. It states radical opinions as facts. This secondary source is not reliable because it could be based on speculation and twisting of facts as there is a lack of evidence.

The same is evident in the film, Independence Day, as sharing the critical vulnerability that other countries can use to overcome the alien invasion would benefit American interests abroad (Desch 17). Considering the position that the United States assume in the film, a notable theme that arises relates to the notion of ‘soft power’. Evidently, ‘soft power has the potential of occupying a distinct position in the nation’s foreign policy. To an extent, such is possible based on the manner that the country is positioned in the normative struggle on the role that the US plays in the World system (Eriksson and Norman 425). It is argued that ‘soft power’ that the United States had amassed, the popularity of the American culture and the attraction of it played a part in the nation’s victory in the Cold War.

national politics Adam Watson’s Evolution of International Society gave a new dimension in the understanding of international relations (IR).
