...Media is a major determinant of how nationalism is socialized. Therefore, the media must report the truth. If the participants within the country are going to be informed of the government’s actions and decide if they are democratic or not, the media must inform the citizens about everything. The media should also refrain from spreading propaganda against a group of people because of their religion or their race. Media socialization allows for a fast-paced nationalist movement to spread. If the nationalist movement incites hate speech, propaganda, or violence against a racial or ethnic group, the conflict can escalate to the highest level; mass genocide. Supra-nationalism is the other solution for minimizing the effects of poor nationalistic practices. Supra-nationalism places the weight of...

...International Relation and European-Asian studies A Dialogic Approach to Intercultural Communication ------------------------------------------------- Cosmopolitan Liberalism Tallinn 2015 Cosmopolitan Liberalism By political cosmopolitanism we mean the idea of overcoming the fragmentation of the world into an anarchy of states by constructing a global public order within which states are subsumed. The new liberal cosmopolitanism argues that this new global public order can and must be based upon liberal principles. Liberal cosmopolitanism in its current form is a radicalization of Anglo-American liberal internationalism. It shares a whole series of commitments with the latter: one humanity, liberal values and cognitive frameworks, individual liberal rights, liberal-democracy, the promotion of peace through international economic liberalism, the development of liberal universalist international law and institutions. Liberal Cosmopolitanism differs from Liberal Internationalism in three key goals: * The subordination of the states to a global order of governance, protecting the liberal rights of individual citizens from state authorities, even through coercive action where necessary. * The transformation of state sovereignty from an absolute right into a licence extended to the state by the global community on the condition that the state behaves in an at least minimally liberal way towards its citizens. * The emergence of cosmopolitan citizens...

...The topic that I chose to detect media bias was national politics, and The First Lady, Michelle Obama. The internet search engine I chose was Yahoo.com, the University Library search I performed contained an article from The Washington Post. The article on Yahoo.com seemed more interested in what Michelle Obama was wearing rather than the itinerary that was planned. Twice in the article it told of the clothing Mrs. Obama was sporting, and spoke of the outfit that Chinese First Lady, Peng Liyuan wore. Yahoo.com downplayed the visit by stating that Michelle Obama would use “soft diplomacy” to focus on building “goodwill” between China and the United States. The articles continue through explanation of the places that The First Lady, her children, and Mother will visit, but does not go into any detail on the good will that Michelle Obama expressed. The article reported by The Washington Post contained an informational description of the visit, which did not include a description of what the two women wore. This article focused more on the purpose of the visit, which was to concentrate on educating young people, obesity, youth empowerment, all of these issues remain a consistent theme for Mrs. Obama. The Washington Post also describes our First Lady with using “soft diplomacy,” but goes on to explain her reasons for doing so. In the article posted on Yahoo.com, the description of “soft diplomacy” made it sound as if Mrs. Obama was on vacation rather than her exact purpose...

...Introduction The International Exposition (Expo) is an organization for placing brand and converging the public diplomacy. Since the Great Exhibition of 1851in London had opened the door to a procession of spectacular festivals of self-representation and image making, most western countries have accepted the Expo as an opportunity to show that their method to challenge of sustainable development of the city is in a more environmentally friendly interactive displays than others. However, the greatest honor cumulative to the hosts. The city of Shanghai, which was a badge member of the exclusive club of the world’s premiere cities, worthy of the event in a world-class. More widely, the Beijing Olympics of 2008 showed the new China and precisely provided an example of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Hence, the Chinese government may point to the Expo as another example of the admiration of the world turning toward China. It was reported that in the last 160 years, there has never an Expo similar to that, which took place in the 2010 Shanghai Expo. A case in point is that more than 700,000 people poured into a site the size of Baltimore in Shanghai in 184 days. They found that an unprecedented number of pavilions, built by the state and enterprises exhibitors, which deployed cutting edge architecture and state-of-the-art exhibition techniques to comment as ‘Better City, Better Life’ in English, but the Chinese version is closer to ‘city: let ’s make life better ’.

INTRODUCTION: Wikileaks is an international, online, non profitable organization, which publishes secret information, new leaks, political, social and military reality analysis (that can be hide), and classified media from anonymous sources for protecting them. They work for the protection of the freedom of expression and its diffusion through the media, and improve History of everyone and the right for each person to create it.

...present time, this immigration experience assumes as the constant affairs of American life. Because the views of people from other countries are America as the land of full opportunities for their better life no matter that they are coming in America legally or illegally. Juan Gonzales the author of the book titled, Harvest of Empire, criticized and analyzed this view by focusing on the Latino population of immigration and how the America’s foreign policies influences toward it. In his work, Juan Gonzales tries to overviewing how the Latino immigrants started to move in American historically and he also provides an analysis of the current events that showing the effects and frictions on Latino population thereby America’s politics and diplomacy. During reading Harvest of Empire by Juan Gonzales, I thought a lot of time that this book is for all people who want to know about the history of Latino immigration in America in detail. Because Gonzalez delivers Latino’s historical processes of movement and settlement through all over the time periods from past to present day and divides his book into three parts as “Roots”, “Branches” and “Harvest” to give more information in details and help the reader for better understanding. The first part of the book “Roots” tells us only about the historical background of the Latino immigration. This part is pretty much providing the information about the early relationships...

...Crisis in Darfur: An Educational Simulation July 10, 2009 U.S. Diplomacy Center Department of State PARTICIPANT BACKGROUND GUIDE INTRODUCTION: “CRISIS IN DARFUR” Whether the murder, rape, pillage, and displacement of tens of thousands in the Darfur region of Sudan is labeled a tragedy, or civil war, or ethnic cleansing, or genocide “in slow motion” 1, the world can’t ignore what is going on in western Sudan. According to the UN, over 2.1 million people are believed to have left their homes, and up to 70,000 have been killed. Other estimates put the death toll higher, up to 400,000. International media has only limited access due to the remoteness and instability in this vast region the size of France. So we don’t see all the day to day details of suffering as we did, for example, in late 1998 in Kosovo. Those images and reports helped trigger UN ultimatums and eventual NATO intervention in 1999. After the Holocaust, the world said “never again” should we stand by and watch while millions are slaughtered. After the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, after the Rwandan genocide of 1994, and after the mass killings in Srebrenica in Bosnia in 1995, the world also stood by, and then said “never again.” And now we have Darfur. Thus Darfur can be seen as a profound test of the credibility of the international community: the United Nations, the international NGO community, the African Union, and citizens and governments around the world. Is there the will to act in Darfur or will we stand...

...The first thing we have to look at is that fact that Aliens have no idea about human behavior therefore they want to experiment on humans .So suppose aliens place 30 people on an Island and observe their behavior . First let’s observe Karl Marx's theory of alienation, which simplified is the antagonist dynamic placed between things that is properly in harmony. It describes a sense of social Alienation that exists amongst all classes and caste of a society throughout human history. A perfect example is the caste system of India were people are assigned there role in society given by birth. They are known as the Varnas. The caste labels given to people in India they are the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and a Shudras. Amongst these groups in society there is much Discrimination and social alienation. This belief system goes back 1000's of years although India is certainly not the only nation with a caste system in society of people divided by wealth. The people on the deserted island would find this difficult because the values and caste in society would no longer hold true. Perhaps Marx had some insight into the future of the world when he proposed this theories and the theories seem to be right on the target. The premise here was to take 6 groups of people and look at how they would interact with each other. So we take 6 groups of people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds they add up a total of thirty people and place them on an island. How would they interact...

In the wake of the Ukrainian Revolution, then President Viktor Yanukovych fled the capital, which resulted in the Ukrainian parliament deposing him and appointing an interim President, Oleksandr Turchynov, followed by the formation of an interim government. The international community had mixed responses, with the EU and the USA recognizing the new government, while Russia and a few others condemning it illegitimate and the direct result of a coup d’etat. A few days later, pro-Russian forces gradually began to take over the Crimean peninsula. A number of media sources have reported the involved forces...

...Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence ( BI) Knowledge management helps an organization to gain insight and understanding from its own experience. Specific knowledge management activities help focus the organization on acquiring, storing and utilizing knowledge for such things as problem solving, dynamic learning, strategic planning and decision making (Hameed, 2004). On the other hand, Business Intelligence uses the information collected from multiple sources that analyses patterns, trends and relationships for strategic decision making. Currently, there is a vast aggregation of documents and data, including the business application and requirements along with appropriate fees. This indicates that there is inefficient delivery of the services offered by business process. In addition, only few senior employees know the key operational information. They may have not pass one the training to their subordinates. Subordinates may have become operational, as such was just able to do their routinely jobs that resulted to lack of decisions in improving their monthly revenue and thinking of more strategic strategy. Another factor is their use of mechanical techniques as such when an application is rejected and the problem corrected, the permit had to go back through the other departments . CON may look into KM technologies which can incorporate those employed to create, store, retrieve, distribute and analyze structured and unstructured information. Knowledge and content...
