...World War III Name: Date: Class: Subject: Part 1: Introduction and Summary The article by Roger Cohen is a conversation between a naïve daughter and a loving mother who is trying to explain a complex global phenomenon. It is a chilling comparison of the circumstances that led to the World War 1 and the position that the world is finding itself in 2015. The position in this case is that active military and political groupings on a tiny diplomatic issue historically has led to full scale wars that have led to millions dead. Cohen uses a dummy approach to explain to a reader who has not read into the history of the wars and the American factor in the situation. In a short dialogue he touches on all factors that lead to geopolitical confrontations and patterns of international relations that create a global conflict. This article is important because it touches on the delicate matter of war, survival of empires and the peace thereafter. This section gives a summary of the article. According to this dialogue, the genesis of the past world wars comes about when an empire is threatened because of long standing quarrels, tensions and dissatisfactions among people. Small triggers could lead to bigger than necessary reactions and thus, political and military actions. Subsequently, allies and foes join sides and thus create an international relations vacuum which means that war is inevitable. Cohen compares the Austro-Hungarian...

...so much easier. Now instead of baling the hay themselves, farmers can put the hay into a machine that makes bales. It is not only more efficient, but the outcome is much more desirable. Laborious jobs have been reduced or eliminated. Though it has made life easier, it also has promoted laziness. Instead of using our physical ability to accomplish a job, so many can now be done by machine. Rather than walking to the store to pick up margarine most would drive to the store. Little things that are so easily accomplished by hand can now be done mechanically. We’d rather have a machine do the job, than exert the extra energy. This laziness has caused a decrease in the over-all health of human kind. There are more cases of obesity. The medical world has advanced, finding cures to many diseases, yet there are more diseases each year. In some cases we don’t really know what we’re doing, which can be extremely dangerous. Good and bad have both resulted from technology. I’ve been...

...better score than her has been put down, too. Only his brain has survived and it has been used as the hardware of a computer to maintain the system and so as her dog, Brownie, his brain has to put into the system for traffic regulation. To me, this is a horrify story because if this is our future, it is a dystopias. We are not living in a free will and even our lives’ purpose is serving as the hardware component of a computer. If we are not suitable for the computer, we will be trashed. Gunn does not give much about the background, but she has stated that the building that Elizabeth took the test is built before the war. I can assume that there is World War III and the war almost destroy the mankind or human have the war with High A.I. computer like Skynet in the Terminator. Nevertheless, both situations lead to one result, human was almost extinct or lost the war and now human is depending and listening to the computer. “He had just come off work, and she knew he would be...

...November 22nd, 2015 World War Three’s a crowd: Iran, Israel, U.S.? Although officials of the United States, Iran, and Israel are currently attempting to solve problems through the use of diplomacy, relations are not improving quickly enough and could lead to the start of a nuclearized World War 3. Recent protests and slayings have led many people to pose the question of whether the heated relations between the two countries could lead to a World War three? Given continuously steady turmoil and mutual feelings of disgust for the two middle eastern countries, settling this dispute peacefully seems to be the furthest thing from possible. This drawn out dispute has the capability to escalate without warning very quickly and result into an outright bloody nuclear war. The United States is currently serving as a mediation tool for the Israelis, to soothe the Iranian government with the threat of the strength of the U.S. momentarily while it figures out it's next move. Little seems to be accomplished regarding peace, instead both sides seem to be preparing for War through their respective actions. However, if called upon the United States will prove to be a powerful and not easily subdued ally for the Israeli people. Though the future remains widely uncertain concerning this diplomatic dilemma in the Middle East, one thing is certain, growing tensions between the two must be settled very quickly if a peaceable solution is to be adopted. The potential war ideology is fueled by the...

...as well as ignorance can be wiped off the face of earth. Then VIOLENCE will be unheard of. (MSS) Ending Terrorism by Ending Poverty Terrorism will vanish when its root cause, poverty, is eliminated. That poverty can be eliminated through higher levels of education, which enables true truths to flow, and greater knowledge of what can be achieved in life for the individual, replacing the falsehoods and evil that rise in the soil of poverty and ignorance. The world has to come together to try to figure out a way for these countries (plus the countries of Africa, and the many pockets of misery elsewhere) to emerge from their neglect, so that fundamentalism and terror will evaporate, and that the energies of angry men and women can be absorbed for productive and happy lives. End of Hold of Religion Behind Terrorism through Prosperity, Education, & Enlightened Mind After the end of the Cold War, we see ferocious animosities focussed at precise undefined points in the shape of terrorist explosions. Presently the world is finding it difficult to come by a satisfying answer to this phenomenon. Marx's description of religion as the opium of the masses deserves consideration here. Opium intoxicates in usual doses, destroys in overdoses. What is a usual dose of a drug to a cultivated mind is an overdose to a superstitious mind. Idealism for a great mind is fanaticism for a small mind. Culture is the best ingredient of Mind that makes it level headed or great. It is education...

...Least developed countries: Nepal Reforms in 1990 established a multiparty democracy within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. An insurgency led by Maoist extremists broke out in 1996. The ensuing 10-year civil war between insurgents and government forces witnessed the dissolution of the cabinet and parliament and assumption of absolute power by the king. Several weeks of mass protests in April 2006 were followed by several months of peace negotiations between the Maoists and government officials, and culminated in a November 2006 peace accord and the promulgation of an interim constitution. Following a nation-wide election in April 2008, the newly formed Constituent Assembly declared Nepal a federal democratic republic and abolished the monarchy at its first meeting the following month. The Constituent Assembly elected the country's first president in July. Between 2008 and 2011 there have been four different coalition governments, led twice by the United Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, which received a plurality of votes in the Constituent Assembly election, and twice by the Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist-Leninist. | | |Telephones - main lines in use: | |[pic] ...

This is a good quality, and he is a very honest and trustworthy individual guy, but is often shy and a bit awkward. D- Nicks main role in this story is that he’s the narrorator, and all of these events are based on his life. He is a very down to earth guy, calm and collected with a bunch of crazy events and people surrounding him. Instead of being in surroundings thatmirror him as a person, he is almost in an opposing environment, rivaling his ways of living. “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” This quote goes to show a category for most characters in this book, for example Gatsby is a pursuer and a busy man. While someone like Daisy is the pursued. Being a go with the flow type of woman, instead of a go getter. A main symbolic item is that...

...How does Ted G. Goertzel claim C.W Mills’ s The Cause of World War III C. Wright Mills, who was a famous sociologist of America, claimed that a new world war is coming up and the cause of World War III is the military industrial complex.

Goertzel clamed that Mills’ s opinion about new world war was wrong in his article The Cause of World War III, Thirty Years Later.

Charles Wright Mills was born in 1916 and died in 1962. He was one of the famous sociologist at that time. Also, as a sociology professor at Columbia University, some of his works are remaining until nowadays, such as The Power Elite; White Collar; The Sociological Imagination.
