- 301: Just War Doctrine and the Gulf Conflict
- ... conjunction with efforts of Perez de Cuellar, US Secretary of State James Baker spent countless hours negotiating directly with the Iraqi Foreign Minister in an attempt to bring about a non- violent end to the crisis. When all efforts failed to bring an end to the conflict by peaceful means the UN Security Council drafted Resolution 678 which authorized "all means necessary" to dislodge Iraqi forces from Kuwait. In one last ... bello it is unjust to kill when it can be avoided. Deprivation of life without purpose is immoral and contradictory to the Just War Doctrine. When analyzing the justness of US conduct in the Gulf Crisis, it is important to keep two points in mind: 1. The just cause was to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait; anything more and the Doctrine might be violated. 2. UN Resolution 678 authorized the use ...

- ... Marx formed his revolution in political economy. Between 1850 and 1860, the volume of transaction in the world market doubled, railway was tripled, and banks boomed.

Marx then wrote his manuscripts of economy. Marx also became the leader of the International Working Men's Association, for ...

- ... by the operators, but came back with an alternative panel. This offer the operators flatly refused. After pushing the operators very hard, Roosevelt finally got a panel, which was satisfactory to both sides and the crisis was averted. With the Congressional elections of 1902 quickly approaching Roosevelt would once again take to the stump to further the cause of the Republican Party.

- 305: The Incident At Columbine And The Media's Effect On Children
- ... schools safe and prevent violence through comprehensive measures. Parents, teachers and other caring adults need to connect with children so that no young person feels left out or isolated. Principals need to develop discipline and crisis-prevention plans in their schools. Communities need to make sure counselors and mental health professionals are available for students. And students themselves have a responsibility to communicate with adults to prevent acts of violence. Within this same arc of responsibility, the media too have an important role to play - a duty to report responsibly; to go beyond a particular crisis and provide perspective. As record numbers of children return to school in the coming weeks, I urge members of the media to act respectfully and sensitively, and to let the students and teachers at our ...
- 306: The Breakfast Club
- ... the rental store. I chose to explain the points of view of Andrew, the jock, and Allison the loner/quite person. I will also be making use of the key terms Clique Groups, and Identity Crisis. At the start of the movie, Allison was a person off in a corner by herself. She didn t talk to anyone, she knew that she had a place in the society of school. This ... just about everything. In my opinion sometimes they have gone too far. In this case of the Breakfast Club, not just the two characters that I pointed out were struggling with peer pressure, an identity crisis, or belonging to a clique group. It was all of them. The underlying theme that I think that the director or writer was getting at was the fact that no matter how many friends you ...
- 307: The Battle Of Little Big Horn
- ... Indians did allow whites to use the Bozeman Trail just as they allowed immigrants to use the Holy Road. The U.S. Government had an obligation to protect its citizens but not to provoke a crisis. They did create a crisis when they established forts in the heart of Oglala territory.

- 308: The Inuit People
- Inuit: A People Preserved By Ice Thousands of years ago, during the last ice age, mile-thick glaciers covered a vast portion of North America, and the Asian continent was joined to North America by a land bridge. The Arctic areas of Alaska, Beringia, and Siberia were free of ice. Vast herds of caribou, muskoxen, and bison migrated to these plains. Following them were the nomadic Asian ancestors of today's Inuit and Indians. The doorway to Asia closed about three or four thousand years later as the glaciers receded and melted. These people: the Inuit (meaning the people), adapted to their ...
- 309: The Condition Of Postmodernity
- ... epoch has existed throughout the modern age Harvey makes a series of arguments that do not hold up under closer scrutiny. He attempts, for example, to link the rise of cultural "modernism" to the first crisis of capitalist accumulation in 1848 and to the first experience of non-linear "explosive" time on the barricades in Paris during the revolution of 1848. The concept of modernism he invokes in this context is ... Harvey account for the return of the linear temporal narrative as the structuring element of the late nineteenth century realist novel? Whereas Harvey fails to demonstrate convincingly the specificity cultural response to the economic-political crisis of 1848, he fails to identify the economic roots of the unprecedented flourishing of modernism between the years 1910-1915. There had been no major economic crises in the West since 1893, and until the ...

Great Britain and France strenuously objected to Nasser's policies, and a joint military campaign was planned against Egypt with the understanding ... of Aqaba would be closed again to Israeli shipping. At the end of May, Egypt and Jordan signed a new defense pact placing Jordan's armed forces under Egyptian command. Efforts to de-escalate the crisis were of no avail. Israeli and Egyptian leaders visited the United States, but President Lyndon Johnson's attempts to persuade Western powers to guarantee free passage through the Gulf failed.
