As the seventh president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani has improved his country and the world. His personal life helped shaped the person he is today. He is very influential compared to other world leaders such as Joko Widodo. On 12 November 1948, in Sorken, Semnan Province, Iran, Hassan Fereydoun was born into a religious family.Hassan attended a religious school in 1960 and later changed his last name to Rouhani. In 1972, he received a B.A. Degree in Judicial Law from the University of Tehran and in 1973 he entered military service in Nishapur. In 1995, after continuing his studies at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, he received an M.Phil degree in Law, and he received a Ph.D. in Constitutional law in 1999. His education helped him become an effective president of Iran. (bio.com.) Hassan Rouhani's interest in politics reached outside himself. …show more content…
Before being elected president, he played a role in the Iran-Contra affair which helped stop the Iranian nuclear problem. He was one of the officials who got to speak about the weapons transfer. This lead to less nuclear weapons problems and better foreign relations. During his presidency, Rouhani focused on improving foreign policy and Iranian Principlists, fearing change but knowing that it's necessary. His stand on foreign policies and relation has spread his influence on a global level unlike other world leaders, such as Joko Widodo.(Rawḥānī, Ḥassan)
Joko Widodo is the president of Indonesia. Unlike Hassan Rouhani, he practices Sunni Islam. Widodo raised taxes and helped improve education in Indonesia. However, he was not able to improve relations with other countries as Rouhani has. Rouhani was able to improve foreign relation and decline the usage of nuclear weapons in his country. This not only improve
Iran’s relationship with the United States of America, but also helped prevent nuclear war. For this reason, Rouhani has more of a global impact than
Perhaps the number one event, that will cost Jimmy Carter his reelection for president was the Iranian Hostage Crisis that went on for approximately 444 days and held 52 American diplomat citizens hostage in Iran. Several Iranian students, stormed the American embassy on November 4, 1979. This had all occurred because the former, exiled, Shah of Iran had been permitted entry into the United States to receive medical treatment for cancer. In the 1950’s the Shah of Iran was appointed by the United States. He was a dictator, who ruled with violence and cruelty. The people of Iran, are traditionally Shiite Muslims and the Shah was taking Iran towards a more progressive society. This further upset the people of Iran who did not want their conservative
Some modern leaders look more inward as to their nations’ policies and people to affect change. Hosni Mubarak, former President of Egypt, aimed to unite his country and better certain systems to strengthen the nation. When in a hard and confusing time, Mubarak provided Egypt with a steady guiding hand. In the midst of this chaos, instead of addressing the questions and wants of the people, Hosni Mubarak demanded they offer themselves to supply the needs of their country and support their leader. This mindset calmed Egyptians as Mubarak reopened Egypt to the Arab world, tried to reaffirm the constitution and judicial system, and tackled social issues. (New Leaders of Nations #1).

First, this dude call Minister Farrakhan the devil “If Lucifer had a son it be Louis Farrakhan”. Secondly, the minster is a positive role model for black men. Here is another black man, displaying self-hate, toward himself and his own people. Not to be cynical, this is a brother who probably listens to country music, and will attend a NASCAR event; further, I might assume is married to someone not of this race. However, what I found disturbing are his use of certain words; such as devil, Lucifer, hate, anti-Semitic, and racists. His views and opinions are more disconcerting because his the chief of police in a major city, I would be more afraid him than white officer. He would deny the minister protection in his city, however, probably
There were countless leaders during the Iranian Hostage Crisis, far too many to mention in just one project. Therefore, I have narrowed my topic to the Leadership of President Jimmy Carter. President Carter was a small-town Democrat from Georgia. Before he ran for president, he was virtually an unknown. Therefore he ran a “grassroots campaign,” which can be incredibly
The Iranian hostage crisis was one of the most dramatic events in a series of problems that took place during President Jimmy Carter’s term. The crisis, beginning in November of 1979, received the most coverage of any major event since World War II. It was one of many problems faced in light of the United State’s complex relationship with Iran. The effects on both the US and Iran were astronomical, especially politically as well as economically and socially. It took a heavy toll on American relations with the Middle East and changed the way we engage in foreign affairs. In light of this crisis, Iran started an international war that we are still fighting thirty-two years later.
Determined to establish good relationships with foreign governments, especially in the Arab world, he traveled out of the country more during his first year in office than any previous President. In April 2010, he signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty—called New START—with President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia.
A long time close friend and supporter of Khamenei, Tabasi never supported Rafsanjani publicly, but as Eshaq Jahangiri, Rouhani’s first vice president wrote in an obituary, he had played an important role as mediator between Khamenei and Rouhani’s government on important issues such as the nuclear deal. His death and the radical credentials of his successor are critical loss for the pragmatic camp of Rouhani and
President George W. Bush’s “axis of evil” speech undermined support of Iranians who argued for better relations with the United States. When Bush made that speech in 2002, Mohammad Khatami, a reformer, was the president of Iran (Freedman 473). The United States sanctions against Iran have helped to further the Abadgaran regime’s agenda by giving justification to a group that is desperate for it; the sanctions have allowed them to consolidate their power and further oppress Iranians who go against the government’s policies. Iran’s current state is best described in Lawrence Freeman’s A Choice of Enemies:
I have only one brother, his name is Abdulaziz. He is in the late twenties. Abdulaziz is married since six years and has one child, his name is Abdulmajeed.
One of Obama’s goals was to reduce the amount of American troops in Iraq (“Barack Obama: Foreign Affairs”). According to Miller Center, “By 2012, only 150 American troops were in Iraq, a number that remained level for about three years”. Obama’s success in carrying out his plan was met by the significant decrease in the presence of American troops in Iraq. In addition, on May 2, 2011, Obama ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden (“Barack Obama: Foreign Affairs”). This occurrence gained Obama approval from many people. Obama’s major actions revolved around war relations in the middle east, however, he also accomplished victories elsewhere. Obama “restored diplomatic relations with Cuba in 2014 for the first time in more than a half century” (“Barack Obama: Foreign Affairs”). Obama also helped negotiate an agreement in which Iran guaranteed that they wouldn’t develop nuclear weapons (“Barack Obama: Foreign Affairs”). Obama therefore has enacted changes among foreign
“As Canadian as possible under the circumstances” and “I’m not the Indian you had in mind” both bring up very different, but very real problems in Canada.
Canada has a representative democracy in which voters choose the leaders who make and enforce the laws. Canada has a branch of a representative democracy known as a parliamentary democracy. A parliamentary democracy is a government in which voters elect representatives to a lawmaking body called Parliament. These representatives in Parliament then choose a Prime Minister head of government. While Canada does have a prime minister, the British Monarch(s) is the king and/or queen of Canada. The government is also a federal system where power is divided between the central government and the provinces and other territories. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the liberties of Canadian citizens. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms reflects
In a short period, the new president of the Untied States has caused many uncertainty, which affected numerous people widely from the nation to worldwide by his statement, policies, and attitude since he was elected. Most people believe that the president is a rightist, racism, and masculinist. However, as a foreigner in the America, It does hardly feel that he has any influence on my life directly so far. However, his some actions, plan and statement already caused disturbance in my country and the world.
Although the Iranian government has tried to keep their country running the same corrupt way, many outside organizations are trying to allay the problem. Independent journalists and social media bloggers are writing about the injustice and corruption in Iran. Also, a show called Parazit, similar to the Daily Show, makes fun of the government and brings hope to the Iranian Nation. The show is produced by the Voices Of America, or VOA. The VOA is supposedly funded by the CIA. The new president, Hassan Rouhani, who has also made it his goal to raise awareness about the issue, said, “my advice that I give on a daily basis, on a continuous basis, to the Judiciary, is never about a specific individual.” The president of Iran doesn’t necessarily have the power to change the corrupt laws and fix all of the problems with the government, as most of that power lies within the judiciary branch, but he is advocating for a law reform, and he is freeing illegally detained prisoners in Iran.
The theme of isolation is highly present in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter.” Isolation Plays a very important role in the novel. Every main character finds themselves isolated in one way or another, but while some are absolutely and thoroughly destroyed by it, others gain loads of power. Characters Hester Prynne, Chillingworth, and Arthur Dimmesdale are all victims of isolation in the Puritan town of Boston, due to a different reasons such as Adultery, upbringing, and their past.
