Race To The Future: Article Analysis

It usually depends on the character and the credibility of the author. It goes without saying that this speech’s speaker, Churchill, himself is a trustworthy guy with a high reputation for his job. As the Prime Minister of the Great Britain, he clearly realizes the importance of the speech, so every word of this speech is pretty cautious. What is more, the speech is created in a time when Britain is suffering an unprecedented disaster, it may be written into history. It greatly improves the reliability of Churchill’s speech. Also, Churchill quotes an idiom, “There are a good many people who say, 'Never mind. Win or lose, sink or swim, better die than submit to tyranny -- and such a tyranny.'”, which is accepted by many people to corroborate that perseverance is better than to succumb. Expect for idiom, some famous lines, “He nothing common did or mean, Upon that memorable scene.”, appears in his speech, reaffirming the justice of the following guard war and the significance of every citizen. Ethos that adopted in this speech successfully persuades audience to believe what Churchill says through his credibility, by using idioms and famous

P.W. Singer and August Cole’s 2015 novel, Ghost Fleet, demonstrates how the American military’s trending dependence on high-tech, networked warfighting may be vulnerable to foreign near-peer and hybrid threats. Merging expertise from Washington-based foreign policy think tanks and defense technology sectors, the authors weave a fictional, yet plausible depiction of a near-future war featuring the United States, China, and Russia.

The article “The Case for Fitting In” compares to my idea of conformity because I think that it means how you change your opinion due to social pressure. My idea of conformity relates to the article because it was talking about how when people were in a group and someone said the wrong answer they usually went with it. “Each subject saw 18 sets of lines, and the group answer was wrong for 12 of them” this proves that most of the time people went with the group rather than going with their personal opinion. I think that the article really compares with my definition of conformity because I think that it causes you to change your opinion and sometimes causes you to choose wrong answers. I also strongly think that the article agrees with me because

His life is an example of his spirit, overcoming the difficulties with which he was presented, and making himself stronger as a result of it. Churchill was a more than just a great speaker though; he was a great man and a great leader as well. He took over as Prime Minister of Britain during one of the most trying times ever to come upon the country, and led his country to eventual victory over their adversaries. The analysis of his speech allows one to come closer to understanding the true rhetorical genius of the man known as Churchill. In particular,

The United States from the Cold War and into the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) continues to face challenges in translating military might into political desires due to its obsession with raising an army, electing politicians and assembling a diplomatic corp that continue to gravitate towards State-to-State engagements that if not rectified could lead to substantial delays in fighting terrorism and non-terrorist adversaries or worse total failure of the United States Military’s ability to properly carry out it’s politicians objectives due to being blindsided.

“The Evil Empire” — that is what, at the height of the arms race, United States President Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union (Rudolph 1). Unsurprisingly, the Soviet Union was similarly upset at the United States. This anger is what fueled the arms race. During the Cold War, due to fears of nuclear attack, the US and Soviet Union designed and deployed thousands of nuclear warheads, each hoping to deter the other from nuclear launch with threat of counter attack (O’Neal 1). This massive arms buildup, however, had many negative effects on the US. To recognize the impact that the arms race continues to have on today, it is crucial to understand not only its causes, but also its immediate impacts on the US economy, society, foreign

By September, 1944, before Roosevelt’s death, the threat of a nuclear arms race and possible retaliation for the use of this weapon is already a point of concern. The Office of Scientific Research and Development’s memorandum to Secretary of War Henry Stimson outlines some of the dangers the United States and Great Britain face in continuing the secret development of this “art”. Realizing this technology in the hands of the Soviet Union or other countries, especially defeated enemies, would make highly populated cities especially vulnerable. They also concluded that there was a high possibility of a “major power, or former major power undertaking this development.” The threat of the Soviet Union or Germany developing this weapon was a

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

After World War II, America continued to increase their defense to avoid more losses like the Pearl Harbor incident that killed 2,300 Americans and destroyed ships and aircraft. Furthermore, the Cold War raised the demand to increase the American defense system. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied Forces during WWII and two-term President, was concerned about the sudden growth and cost of the American defense system. During his “Farewell Address,” Eisenhower addressed his concerns about keeping the peace, the creation of numerous weapons for the national defense, and how scientific and technologic development becomes a powerful and unregulated tool.

Toronto, Canada---- Since the end of World War Two, the United States and the Soviet Union have experienced a number of political clashes. From the Marshall Plan to the Korean war, to testing nuclear weapons, and to the use of missiles, the United States and the Soviet Union have definitely established a divide between the two empires. The growing dependence of the United States in Europe and Great Britain has increased imperialist speculation from the USSR. However, the United States justifies their presence though the policy of Containment, in its attempt to defend democracy. Also since post World War Two, there has been a massive increase of arms in both the Soviet Union and the United States. From the booming economy of the war and the devastating atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States became a global superpower. The need for efficient nuclear weapons suddenly became an obsession. In 1952, the USSR managed to develop their own Atomic bomb, which threatened the position of the United States. And from there an arms race began. The use of nuclear weapons is an extreme that neither empire wishes to reach, however, the public is not certain.

Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.

Anti -access/area denial assets are expanding at a rapid rate as other countries and groups seek to prevent United States power projection globally. In previous conflicts, especially during the Cold War, the way for the U.S. to win was to utilize better technology and employ it to prevent the enemy’s maneuverability. During the cold war, the US had the advantage over the Soviet Union due to power projection of weapons; they developed a better strategy and understanding of the most likely avenues of combat on the battlefield, and intelligence technology that allowed better capabilities to determine the enemy’s capabilities. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, conventional means of intelligence collection was hindered by the drawdown of US military forces, mainly in Europe and other countries in Asia, and allowed US adversaries to obtain advanced technology. “This reduction of US military power projection in those regions has led to equaling the battlefield against future operations and puts the US at a disadvantage as the loss of major intelligence capabilities crippled its oversight in those particular regions .” It also weakens future intelligence gathering networks, possibly future operations, and impacts policymakers’ foreign policy decisions.

The first clue that the physiological goal of civil defense was working in 1964, was the fact that many of the articles dealt only with the physical construction, installation, and maintenance of the Minuteman Nuclear Missiles. Thirty-one of the of the sixty-five articles published dealt with the building and maintaining of the missile wing. The fact that a great deal of the articles again demonstrated civil defense had successfully created an environment in which nuclear weapons could be installed, and people would not protest with fear.

In this paper, I will be discussing the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). In addition, I will cover the newly revealed DF-26 ICBM missile. The advancement of China’s missile program and nuclear program will discusse. I will also briefly talk about the vehicle on which the DF-26 is carried, and launched. The threat against Guam will be a main topic of this paper. I will also discuss the United Sates Military forces that are located on the island of Guam.

Modern terrorists have come to the realization that “they cannot defeat the United States in a conventional war, but they can impose significant pain through acts of terrorism,” (Stern, p.5). After a century of American military, economic, and social success, the US has been elevated to the forefront of the global community. A defense budget of $401.7 billion makes the United States the dominant military force in the world, (2005 US Federal Budget). Furthermore, our history of success has established a general sentiment of invincibility among American citizens, and an attack on our civilian population would have tremendous ramifications, as was seen with the occurrence of September 11th. However, unlike al-Qaeda in Afghanistan under the Taliban, a nuclear attack may come from a group that does not enjoy the sponsorship of a state, making retaliation quite complicated. This sense of anonymity is another issue of terrorists with nukes that trumps a state with such capabilities. In the case of a state, there is a particular, defined, and easily identifiable party
