Essay

The two documents, though they contained key differences, maintained similar themes. The Long Telegram and the NSC-68 both saw the Soviet Union as a threat to the United States, one that both authors argued must be confronted. Each document interprets that threat differently; They both reject isolationism as a viable strategy, and feel that something must be done to stop the expansion of the Soviet Union. Both documents urge the American society to grow and expand, and to build and foster integrity and strength. In addition, the documents push for the United States to participate and have a positive presence in international politics, and to maintain strong and healthy relationships with other countries around the world. One of the primary strategies employed in both documents is the idea of containment, as both the Long Telegram and the NSC-68 foresaw catastrophic consequences if the Soviet Union were allowed to continue its

Washington D.C. in the summertime is constantly perspiring, a rather miserable place to be. And, although the summer of 1949 was equally as dredged, Paul Nitze, an expert economist who lacked status in the United States government, was about to receive the opportunity of a lifetime. George Kennan, longtime diplomat and Russian studies expert, was looking to retire to his quiet farm in Pennsylvania, but he needed to leave a successor for the Policy Planning Staff. He decided on Paul Nitze. However, just months later after Russia succeeded in building and testing an atomic bomb and Nitze’s appeal for an assessment of U.S. Foreign Policy, Kennan on September 30 wrote, “I face the work of these remaining months with neither enthusiasm nor hope for achievement.” Obviously, the Cold War would be a large undertaking for any Russian expert in the State Department, however, it is more than likely that he was referring to working closely with colleague whose foreign policy tactics evidently began to differ greatly from his own as time would show.

1. Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support.

George Kennan did not make any detailed policy recommendations in the Long Telegram of 1946, although he made it clear that he did not regard the Soviet Union as the same type of threat as Nazi Germany. He opposed the ideas of National Security Council Memorandum 68 (1950) as a hysterical overreaction, and thought that global containment was a serious strategic error, especially in peripheral regions like Indochina. Unlike Hitler, Stalin's aggression and expansion were unplanned and opportunistic, and its leaders did not wish to risk a general war with the West. For this reasons, the Soviets were highly sensitive to the "logic of force" and would retreat if confronted with resolution (Kennan 1946). Internally, it was a police state ruled by a Communist Party oligarchy and bureaucracy, but one that was always insecure in its power. Although Marxism had no real emotional appeal to the masses, the elites were guided by the assumption that the imperialist powers were always attempting to encircle the Soviet Union and that the contradictions within capitalism would always lead to wars. They would attempt to exploit these differences within the capitalist nations, while at the same time attempting to weaken their hold on the colonial areas. Kennan was well aware that the main problem in Western Europe was war-weariness and economic insecurity, and the U.S. would have to take the lead in reviving these countries or the "Russians certainly will" (Kennan 1946). In this case, though,

First, the Allies could not make the same mistake they had made over two decades earlier at the Paris Peace Conference. In light of this consideration, it was clear that fears of post-war isolationism gripped President Roosevelt’s Administration: “With remarkable unanimity, the men around President Roosevelt…shared the belief that the economic policies followed by the major trading nations after World War I had led directly to the global depression of the 1930’s, and then to the Second World War” (Freeland, 1989: 16). Second, it was clear that working in this fragile environment would be difficult in light of the Soviet Union’s preeminent position in Europe. Indeed, during the war, Roosevelt reassured those wary of Soviet power that “it is permitted you in time of grave danger to walk with the devil until you have crossed the bridge” (Gaddis, 2005: 3).

Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

After the physical fitness exam, Shannon led them over to the obstacle course Maggie had been eyeing earlier. From first glance, it seemed just like any other course that she’d ever come across which wasn’t very many but still they all appeared to have the same basic layout. This one had four or five obstacles of varying difficulty and was surrounded by a foam cube pit. The pit was probably put in place to prevent cadets from injuring themselves in an accident. Their captain demonstrated how to go through the course and instructed them on the best ways to approach each challenge. This gave the trio of new operatives a glimpse of Shannon’s abilities. There was a natural grace and ease in his movements not many people possessed. His long,

V2 grimaced as he folded his arms across his chest. A local carnival had arrived in town and was stationed in the open lot across from Toshizou's manor. For the most part, V2 hated crowds of people, they drove him mad, not to mention the odor their bodies gave off when V2 was close enough to smell the blood that ran through their very veins.

This assignment was about the earlier reading that we had done this last week talking about the girl that had been treated very wrong and being given out for marriage at a very young age. This is also the same article that talks about the girls going through medical processes which involved them getting their genitals cut and mutilated at a very young age which is very wrong and was talked about in that article very briefly. This article goes into more depth of how the group was able to make all these things happen and how they are able to save these girls now. It talks about how the girl Ester who was at the begging of the last text and how she was a big role in getting laws and regulations past so that girls and young children have more

Upon entering Chris’ office you are dazed by color everywhere. “Half full” posters hang on the wall and vibrant colors, décor, and inspirational sayings are sprinkled throughout. Every inch of her teeny office shouts something that is reassuring. Passion and positivity radiates from everything she is linked to. Her personality. Her office. Her style. Her interactions. She positively influences all aspects of her life and is able to shine light on any situation. It is ironic that she works to teach individuals how to calm down and simplify problems, considering how upbeat and lively she is.

Policy design of the transportation system has long used statistics of typical economic indicators of ridership to find ways where the system is in need of corrections to operate in a more effective and efficient manner. This usually is concerned with preventing congestion at peak times or removing routes on time slots that are not financially efficient, based on the numbers and frequencies of ridership. Recently, psychologists, social scientists, behavioural economists and researchers in other disciplines have been looking beyond these issues and are looking into the importance of subjective well-being (SWB), related to commuter’s evaluations of their quality of life in addition to typical economic indicators to discover what previous

It had been 30 years since Antarctica had melted and society in the mainland was beginning to break down. Buildings lay dry and burned down, except for some places which got tropical storms almost daily. Minnesota had been washed out, all the rivers flooding. The buildings lay abandoned, sinking into the swampy marsh that the state had become, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All this had been the result of the Great Lakes spilling over into the land because of rainfall. Living here was not possible. It was where you were sent to prison from the Ocean Districts. The prisoners never came back after they were sent to the Midwestern Marshes. Along the mainland, about 200 miles out in the ocean at the most, there were tremendous

We, as humans, have come a long way in terms of tools. We started out using rocks, sticks, and simple things found in nature. Now we use heavy, complex machinery and synthetic plastics to generate and design anything we could possibly think of. In an effort to understand the ways of earlier humans differently, I was tasked with researching and creating a tool using the methods from prehistory. In this ethnography, I will be describing the tool that I made, explaining modern tools in today’s society, and speculating how I would fair in prehistoric times.

The marathon of scientists finding a cure to the various diseases that haunt mankind, continues to make an indelible landmark. Scientists in past have created subtle practices by using human parts and mentally retarded children in research trials, finding a cure for disease created an atmosphere of impossibility, and there were no federal guidelines in place that could approve these treatments to be used on patients like Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
