The United States just elected a new president recently. This is a major event, because this is a country that values the citizens right to vote above many other rights and privileges. The months and weeks leading up to the election were very divisive and showed how humans have a long way to go before reaching a peaceful resolution of
The 45th Presidential Election Throughout the past few months, the 45th presidential election has been in full swing as the news, social media, and various people of all ages and beliefs are speaking out about who they believe the next president, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, should be. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana, who is 57 years old and grew up on a cornfield in Southern Indiana, has recently accepted to be Donald Trump’s running mate. While speaking to the country at the Republican National Convention, Pence provides comparisons and statistics about Trump and himself, in order to persuade his audience to vote for the Republican candidate. In his Vice President Acceptance Address, Governor Mike Pence uses metaphors and ethos to verify
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has never had a serious threat to his power since his first time taking office in 1999. Although his leadership has proved to be far from flawless, Putin’s approval rating in Russia has continued to climb, reaching eighty-six percent last month. This is much higher than that of President Joe Biden, who currently has an approval rating in the United States of forty-two percent. Despite Putin’s objectively worse political decisions, he more than doubles Joe Biden's approval rating. The reason for this is simple: censorship.
The second document highlights the National Security Council 68, a central document of the Cold War that laid out the strategic foundation for American foreign policy after the devastating decline of western European powers during World War II left the United States and Soviet Union as the dominant nations. The National Security Council argues that the Soviet Union poses a threat due to “being animated by a new fanatic faith” in communism to impose “absolute authority over the world” (Doc 2). This type of behavior is anti-ethical to the American values, so the fight between America and the Soviet Union was inevitable. The document outlined possible responses of isolation, diplomatic efforts to negotiate, or the rapid buildup of strength of
The candidates that are running for president are terrible. I wouldn’t want to picky any of them. However, if I had to pick a certain celebrity, it would only come close to Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney seems to show as the only person that could actually run in this election and be professional.
The president of the United States of America has few constitutional powers in foreign policy. First, the president has the power to negotiate treaties with other nations. Second, the president has the power to mediate disputes between other nations. Third, the president has the power to proclaim friendships with new governments. And finally, the president has the power to work covertly to undermine these friendships with those same governments.
The US blockade from the perspective of the Soviet Union was a violation of international law (Source A). As a result Khrushchev could not agree to the terms given out by the Kennedy. Instead, Khrushchev felt that he will be forced to on their part to take those measures they deem necessary and sufficient to defend their rights. Khrushchev took the same move as of Kennedy, which was to take action and wait for a reaction (Source B). Again, the instance of brinkmanship is evident as the Soviet Union used this policy to coerce the United States into backing down military or forms of aggressive force.
I couldn't verbally express at this point because depends upon factors of which we ken nothing: the genuine candidates, the condition of the economy, the state of the world. As others have noted history gives the opposition party an edge. People incline to tire of a two-term president and his party toward the cessation of his tenure. The best one can verbalize of Obama is that his record is commixed. He certainly didn't live up to all the hype of his 2008 election campaign; the exaltation that was lavished on him then makes painful reading today.
Russia’s opposition to the United States has become severe over the years. The way
Since entering office, President Donald Trump has taken a hostile stance towards Iran, and now threatens to end the era of rapprochement that prevailed during the Obama Administration. This would be a significant mistake that would bode ill for both the United States and Iran. While detractors of President Obama’s policy towards Iran argue that it strengthens the oppressive regime of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the opposite is actually true. Friendly relations between the United States and Iran undermine the fear mongering rhetoric of Khamenei and his hardliner allies and strengthen the arguments of the reformist coalition in Iran. The success of this more moderate faction of Iranians serves United States’ interests in that it eliminates an
America had participated in its fair share of wars in the twentieth century. Germany as a whole had been in a political and economic drought ever since the last world war and Reagan was offering a hand of help through his speech when saying, “I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent – and I pledge to you my country’s efforts to help overcome these burdens.” Reagan had also held two summits with Secretary Gorbachev and wanted more. Reagan had been doing his part and clarified to the Secretary that his contribution and willingness to make changes was a necessity to future progression: “General Secretary Gorbachev if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate!” Tough love and bluntness often times are required to make actual change.
Research/Results (Pro) The Republicans claim that Obamacare’s flaws are unacceptable and disastrous. Even with all of this debate and disagreements over the ACA, Rubio a Republican, “suggests a partial repeal” (Beavers par. 3) because he feels that Obama Care has some benefits, but could be improved. However, repealing the ACA has it’s own consequences. (Con)
Personally, I welcome freiendly relations, they're a wonderful thing to have, but when countries have repeatedly done things to go against the United Nations, NATO, and common decency, too much trust really is a thing. Not only has Russia dismantled its democracy, aided Assad's tyranny in Syria, invaded its neighbouring Slavic states, and restricted the free rights of its citizens, but they have been exposed for being behind numerous Wikileaks leaks throughout the election
This unit has greatly increased my knowledge of genetic technology, and my understanding of different perspectives on the ethicality of its use. Unlike somatic cell therapy (treating genetic disorders by replacing genes in certain body cells of living people), which has gained extensive approval for clinical uses on humans, germ-line gene therapy (GGT) is a far more controversial method of performing genetic engineering on an unborn embryo, to change all of the DNA that will make up that baby as it grows up. In my detailed study of GGT, where I went into quite extensive learning on the full process of recombinant DNA and genome editing (with technology like CRISPR), I discovered that the general public fear the capabilities of GGT in creating
Considering the needless suffering caused by Putin’s actions, decisions, and behaviors, I strive to be an ethical leader, considering the diversity of the airmen within my own sphere of
