Current Event: Week Four Once again, another conspiracy theorist, David Meade, claims the world is ending on September 23rd, 2017. Supposedly, Planet X will crash into the Earth and wipe out everything on this planet. Meade, a wealthy research scientist, who has three different books on “Planet X” made this claim about a week ago. The “end of the world” has happened six times already, based on the six people who have made this argument. Each time, they were all proved wrong and came up with an excuse as to why the world turned out perfectly fine. After the 23rd, Meade will be just another conspiracy theorist proven wrong. His claim was dismissed by NASA stating that “if Planet X were real… astronomers would have been tracking it for the …show more content…
However, a source from Globalfirepower.com claims that the military budget for North Korea is $10 billion, while the United State’s budget is nearly $582.7 billion. That is nearly a $572.7 billion difference. Furthermore, within the month of September, China has ordered North Korean companies and joint ventures to close in exactly 120 days, due to the U.N. sanctions. The U.N has also banned North Korea’s cap fuel supplies and textile exports because of the six nuclear tests this month. Their decision was to ensure the safety of the citizens of North Korea and I believe it was the right decision. In my opinion, the continuous back and forth threats show that both leaders do not want to go to war, but their initial goal is to gain a certain reputation. For example, Trump stated that if “forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea” (Onyanga-Omara). The use of the word “totally” reminds me of a teenager speaking to their friends, like “I’m totally going to the mall today”. I’m interested to know what the final outcome will be and hopefully, it won’t lead to a World War 3. We must hope that these threats are just for show, in order to scare North Korean citizens and American citizens. Current Event: Week Six At a country music festival in Las Vegas, thousands of people were enjoying the calm atmosphere, until a gunman fired into the crowd from the 32nd floor of his hotel room,

Kim Jongun, has mentioned before that he wants the world to look up to his strong country as a nuclear power, rather than just a mere country with multiple sanctions shouting big words. This in the past has led to various consequences from hegemonies all around the world who feel threatened by the implications of a young tyrant in charge of ICBMs. This is a clear example of the security dilemma in which the entire world, the anarchy that it is, has to control minor nations that strive for hegemony at the expense of the larger nations’ security and loss of leverage. Unfortunately, it seems that despite the clear warnings from the superior nations, the North Korean dictator has no interest in abiding by international rules and is far more fascinated with realist ideologies of projections of power.
Did you know that it is estimated that North Korea has less than 10 nuclear weapons and the United States has around 7,200. Even though we have a lot, just one can do a lot of damage if launched. North Korea has been threatening the U.S. ever since the war we had against them. In their country they are taught we are not good people and we are one of two main enemies. I think North Korea is a threat the the U.S. because they have nuclear weapons, have a large army and are backed up by china, and they think we are bad and are ready to attack whenever.
From the overthrowing of the Russian Tsar to the exile of the Nationalists, the world has been in a state where radical movements have been the main focus of citizens, even in democratic societies. The October Crisis was one of these extraordinary events that had occurred. It was a period of international and national revolutionary movements that used violent acts against constitutional measures. The 1970 October Crisis was a pivotal moment that had an undeniable and lasting impact on Canadians as it revealed the wisdom of Trudeau’s decision to enact the War Measures Act, demonstrated that the FLQ (a left-winged terrorist organization) was not a good representative of the French-Canadians, and it
Secondly all communications between North and South will be cut off, and the South Korean ships and airliners be banned from passing through North Korean territorial waters and airspace. According to Yonhap news official said in a statement “This is a deliberate provocation aimed to spark off another military conflict in the West Sea of Korea and thus push to a war phase the present north-south relations”.
One of the security challenges facing the United States (US) is the US and North Korea relations. The US policy toward North Korea is diplomatic yet firm. North Korea is our longest standing adversary. Policy toward North Korea is one of the most enduring foreign policy challenges. In this essay I will discuss the security challenge of U.S. and North Korea, the theory of international relation, realism, how it illuminates this challenge and how the instruments of
The decades of the 50’s, 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s had many significant events that shaped America into the nation that it is today. The events of these decades shaped the United States into the nation that it is today consist of the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, Reaganomics, and the end of the Cold War.
Since the 1950’s North Korea has posed as dangerous threat to The United States and its allies. With North Korea development of Nuclear arms and its consistent hostile rhetoric and actions towards the United States. With the North Korea’s development of a long range ICBM, more now than ever the United States has been put into a position where its and many of its
Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country music festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, killing at least 59 people and injuring over 500 more. It is, at the time of writing at least, the worst mass shooting (outside of pogroms of non-Mormons, black people, and Native Americans) in U.S. history.
On the night of the Route 91 music festival in Las Vegas, Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd below his 32nd-floor hotel room with unknown motives, ending dozens of lives and impacting hundreds.

When the majority of people think of summer they think of it as a easy-going time of year with beautiful weather, but it is not all fun and sunshine for everyone around the world, or even in our own country. Major events are happening all the time, whether they are broadcasted in the news or not. In this paper I will be talking about a few events that happened over the summer, and how they impacted the world.
“On the night of October 1, 2017, Sunday at Route 91 Harvest country music festival at 10:05 pm shots fired in Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.” (Lombardo, 2017). Seemingly Las Vegas longest horrific ten minutes has recently had, news around the world stated that Stephan Paddock was solemnly capable of committing such massacre. Uncovered evidence can be proven to the contrary, that one man was capable of injuring 546 and killed 59 solemnly within ten minutes. One could see this act not of a one-man but more like a two-man job, with the other man getting away and is yet to be identified.
Race and gender have been a very recurrent topic of discussion in the news nowadays. I have chosen a very recent news event for my current event analysis paper. The Event that I have chosen is centered around gender and racial discrimination.This incident happened recently when a Black doctor - Dr. Tamica Cross faced discrimination due to her gender and race on Delta airlines flight in mid-air . The Reading that I have used to connect to the news event are — “10 Ways racism killed Michael Brown and Eric Garner”by Chauncey Devega, Chapel hill shooting and western media bigotry, “More Black Men are in prison today than Enslaved in 1850”by Dick Price, “Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color”by Kimberle Crenshaw, “The Social Construction of Race’’by Ian F. Haney Lopez. I chose this news event because I was shocked seeing the discrimination faced by someone of a very high reputed profession because of the color of their skin and the gender. The main idea behind my current event analysis paper is that how gender and race discrimination overpowers and discriminates anybody regardless of the profession.The discrimination due to Race and gender should be taken more seriously and their should be qual respect for every Race, Gender as this is the basic to mankind.This paper heads that event that make us realize how gender and race plays an important role in our lives and it goes with us everywhere we go and when it is
Alternatively, his serial provocations could incite a South Korean or US military response that creates an unstoppable escalation spiral. The logic of Trump’s ‘America First’ policy contains the rationale for preventing North Korea from acquiring the capacity to strike the US mainland, regardless of the scale and gravity of the harm inflicted on South Koreans, Japanese and others in the region. The Kim dynasty has outwitted the United States with more tenacity, resourcefulness and single-minded determination. There is nothing the world can offer Kim that he would value more than his prized bomb. More sanctions suffer from the law of diminishing returns. Any country is exposed to the threat of sanctions when it is fully integrated into
