...There are several concepts from the Contemporary International Problems text that we will be reviewing. We will examine several inaugural excerpts to see the correlation between the actual concept and reviewing the historical context. We will examine how all of these things affect today and have affected the U.S. in the past. Several concepts we will review are as follows: defense, deterrence, détente diplomacy, national interest and globalization. The excerpts for this study are from our current president, Barack Obama, and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. All three of our presidents addressed defense and deterrence; however we shall only focus on two. “Defense is blocking an enemy’s attack” (Roskin & Berry, 2008, p. 200). “Deterrence is dissuading attack by showing its high cost” (Roskin & Berry, 2008, p. 200). In 2001 former President George W. Bush spoke about defending the U.S., and tried to deter other countries from attacking the U.S. and our allies. He stated “...we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary.” He later stated “My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against further attacks and emerging threats.” During the time he gave this address the U.S. had been through the attacks of 9/11, Iraq was threatening allies and the U.S. with weapons of mass destruction, Bin Laden would release video or voice recordings stating how America would suffer or pay. These reasons are why we still...

...Does the openness or democracy of the web increase the distribution of useful information or inaccurate, foolish, and biased information? Julietta Phillips Computer Ethics Professor Dr. Robert Culver December 7, 2012 When we talk about whether the web gives out the distribution of useful information it depends on where you pull the information from. Let’s take blogs for example, people that write blogs are basing it off their own opinions and what they believe in. Some blogs are extremely informative while some just do not make any sense. Most blogs provide news and their insights and others are just gossip and nonsense. People need to apprehend that bloggers are opinionated. The nature of blogging (and just the internet as a whole) reassures bloggers to post their immediate thoughts and reactions without taking the time to check for facts. Bloggers are not trained nor are they journalists. However, the question is does the internet help promote openness and democracy? The internet encourages partisanship. It helps people’s already-formed political position and tapering with society’s minds that the Internet causes. The Internet does NOT promote civilized, reasonable and rational debates on political issues that are at the core of democracy. The internet does open things up because it provides people with a convenient tool to do both good and bad things so yes the internet encourages openness, which is great. The internet has been a wonderful source for information...

An advising response provides direction, evaluation, personal opinion, or instructions. Such a response imposes on the communicator the point of view of the listener, and it creates listener control over the topic of conversation. 2. A deflecting response switches the focus from the communicator’s problem to one select by the listener. 3.

...Play is of an enormous importance in a young child’s life. Through play the child’s social and motor skills develop greatly. Three forms of social play have been identified as parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). The child starts out at a young age enjoying their play with themselves rather than people (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Toddlers then play house with their dolls and stuffed animals. When the child engages human peers instead of toy objects in play this is the start of social play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Through this development comes aspect of parallel play. Here this child may play alongside a fellow peer, but they may be engaging in two completely different activities (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). Side by side the children play, observing each other and enjoying the fact that they are present with that peer, while not directly interacting with them. At two years of age a child with participate in parallel play (Gibson, J.T., 1978, p. 300). Associative play proceeds parallel play starting at age three. The children play in groups with the same toys as their peers, but each child uses the materials in very different ways (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 340). When asking a child engaged in associative play to describe his activity, he often times describes a totally different activity then the other children (Belkin & Faw, 1980, p. 341). A major part of associative play is imitation. A younger...

...King Leonidus It was a warm August day in the year 480 B.C, when I went out to meet Xerxes' legion at Thermopylae. My force consisted of 7,000 Greek men, which was nothing at all compared to the 200,000 Persians that awaited us on our path. My Spartans and I marched on the front lines toward the fight hoping that we would spark the spirits of our Greek allies by knowing they had the battle-hardened Spartans leading them. As we marched into the pass, our eyes perceived the Persian immortals, these soldiers were Persia's exclusive fighting force and they feared nothing. They wore a type of formidable mask which was all white with obsidian indentations where their eyes were supposed to be. We formed a tenacious line with our spears pointed out in front of our shields and the rocky pass covering both of our sides. We sat there in our imperishable pack waiting for the immortals to start their advance, we knew if we broke our formation it would create an inadequate spot in our line which could be penetrated and eventually over ran by the immortals. Every man was ready for this day, our Spartans were bred for war, it's all they had ever known, and now they would get to show the true meaning of what it is to be a Spartan. The immortals grew impatient and started in a full sprint at our front lines, as they came closer I gave the order for my men to hold out their spears and stand their ground at all costs. The first wave of immortals were cut down by our lengthy spears without any...

...Tyler Faldet Extra Credit: Film Review Assignment Professor Debauche 11/12/2012 300 Review Over the weekend I happened to rent a few movies to watch with friends at my home back in Iola Wisconsin. I also had hopes that one of them would give me a lot of information, along with motivation, to write a review on using the different concepts that we have talked about in class. So way back in 2007 the American film 300, directed by Zack Snyder, and staring popular film stars such as Gerald Butler, and Lena Headey, brought millions and millions of mainly young and old men to the theaters. I personally remembered when it came out because everyone at school was talking about how amazing it was and quoting some of the lines from the film.
