Personal Narrative: Why I Want To Major In International Politics

In her 1999 book Flawed By Design, Stanford academic Amy Zegart examines the three main American national security agencies: the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and the National Security Council (NSC). She covers the history of each of the agencies from creation to the 1990s. While going through each of their histories, she makes a point to break down their histories into their creations and evolutions. This breakdown allows Zegart to effectively and concisely support her conclusion that the agencies are flawed by design. Furthermore, her conclusions are relevant to the U.S. military today. Any competent military professional should learn lessons from Zegart as the lessons she offers have keen importance

The 1776 united States of America Declaration of Independence contain the words that succinctly describe our national objective, strategy, and message, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” In today’s United States of America, the world acknowledges American’s as the preeminent owner of individual freedoms, holding and promoting these three basic principles for some 240 years. During these years, the U.S. has employed the use of intelligence to shape its objectives and strategies, and then in times of war used the same intelligence to shape strategic messages against foreign powers. However, as hostilities decline and give way to the restoration of relative peace, the use of intelligence for strategic messages against foreign powers ceases. Under these circumstances, the void created by secession of U.S. messages, provides a communication opportunity to foreign powers for transmission of anti-U.S. messages. Attempts have been made to reinstate the offices that during war countered these anti-U.S. messages to a comprehensive reorganization of the U.S Government intelligence community. This paper does not support creation of a new agency or department to utilize existing strategic intelligence.

HELLO GUYS!!! I have something veryyyyyyyy important to tell you! After all of my stressing about FAFSA ( Free Application Federal Student Aid) , Colleges, and Transportation, I decided to further my education at Rowan University. It took me a long time to make this decision because this wasn’t my first choice! My first choice/ dream school was LIU Brooklyn ( Long Island University) in Brooklyn, New York. I was recently accepted there and planned on attending there, but their out-of-state tuition was extremely high! Their tuition was $33,000 a year and poor black man like myself, cannot afford it. I really loved LIU because it's a great school, beautiful campus, and most of all, it's in New York. I had my whole planned before it even started,

During the Anglo-Saxon Era, there were many armies battling each other. These battles were documented and later made into stories. As we read some of these stories, we can see that some weapons are explained with much detail. That is because weapons back then were very unique to their owner. The weapons used during Anglo-Saxon literature depended on the wealth of the soldier, the proximity of the enemy, and the strength of the enemy.

My presidential run for office would be based off being truthful. I would tell the United States how the government has been taking money from them and spending it irresponsibly. I want to fix the United States because they fail to use money effectually. There needs to be someone that steps in and fixes the problem. When the people of the U.S. votes me into office that will be my task.

From the time I discovered the Elliott School, I was captivated. Accordingly, I performed my due diligence and researched other security programs in the Washington DC area. I quickly found that the Elliott School was by far the most prestigious and recommended for foreign policy and national security studies. Likewise, I discovered that their academic programs were the most current and comprehensive around. At that point, I decided that the Elliott School’s Security Policy Studies program was for me.

State wise, American citizens have rarely been concerned with foreign affairs of its own government. The number one dissatisfaction is the seemingly never-ending wars within the regions of the Middle East that have begun since the Bush administration. Yet, because of the heightened sense of paranoia still lingering from 9/11, citizens show a definite concern for how efficiently the intelligence community of the United States government works. The fusing of

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

During the Cold War, the C.I.A became the flag bearer for American ideals, exporting American values across the globe through clandestine operations in the likes of Cuba, Vietnam and Nicaragua. These actions undertaken by the C.I.A, are the skeletons in the agency’s closet. They reflect an attitude, a vision, pertaining to both the C.I.A and the United States government. Actions that often contradict the strong American rhetoric of freedom, liberty and justice. The C.I.A prides itself on a “Hallmark of quiet patriotism”, but when black operations go public, when this patriotism is not quiet, the C.I.A not only characterizes itself as an agency, but furthermore reveals how the United States sees itself, and it’s role as a global power in the

The CIA has a history that is shrouded in mystery. The Agency’s history is rich with patriotic acts that rival the likes of the GRU (Russian Intelligence), MI6 (British Intelligence), and Mossad (Israeli Intelligence). These agencies are some of the top Intelligence Agencies in the world, yet the CIA is constantly topping the list by being the

Duties included the following: In the student government I was able to oversee the wealth of the student body, served as a liaison between the students, and the school administration to address student needs and safety, created the student activities and organizations budget, and facilitate activities to incorporate the student body into community service. In my position as Presidential Ambassador I was able to address the incoming freshman on the information needed to be successful at the school, as well as provide Assistance to the school lifelong learning program, which provided the local senior citizens community with weekly events. Lastly as a summer orientation leader I aided incoming student to acquire the necessary tools to be successful

My childhood was anything but ordinary; a typical Saturday afternoon in the would consist of me watching a documentary on the origins of the universe, C-SPAN, or learning a new programming language. I wasn’t a fan of baseball, football, or most other sports for that matter, I just really liked learning. I have always possessed a quiet sense of internal patriotism and watching the President deliver the State of the Union to me was like the Super Bowl. However, it wasn’t until after some soul searching in the ninth grade that I know I wanted a career within the United States Intelligence Community. Thomas Jefferson, in Congress wrote on July 4, 1776 “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”. This single quote (that I hold close to my heart), a devastating event on a Tuesday morning in September 2001, a strong sense of civic duty, and ensuring the continuity of the American Dream is why I want to contribute to the silent story of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Brain researchers are able to scan teenagers brains to see why they act the way they do. The researchers are trying to help the parents during these years because during the teen years the brain is still developing and requires a person to make good decisions. The brain is still trying to make connections. That’s exactly why people have to be careful what they say to teens because they might start some bad behavior. You have to remember teens can be less responsible. These reactions may cause some bad behavior. Even though age is not an excuse for bad behavior the brain needs to focus and needs support. Teens go through roller coasters at this age, and so do the parents trying to fix it. The parents just need to talk to them. These years can

For more than 60 years, the CIA has been at the forefront of securing the United States by providing America’s policymakers with the intelligence they need to make informed decisions. The history of the CIA reaches back to the time of George Washington’s presidency, but was only coordinated as a government-wide basis since the World War II. In 1942, president Franklin D. Roosevelt had appointed a prominent New York lawyer and war hero, William J. Donovan as a Coordinator of Information, and then, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The men and women of the OSS collected and analyzed strategic information and conducted wartime covert actions and counterintelligence operations. However, prior to the World War II, the OSS abolished
