In this part of the course, three readings work together to provide a basis of arguments and positions on the origins of the Cold War as they relate to international relations. As George Kennan describes in the article written under the pseudonym ‘Mr. X’ in the early years of the Cold War, the Soviets were widely recognized in the western world as being fundamentally expansionist by nature, and this fundamental attribute would lead to the ultimate quest to spread communist ideology across the globe, eventually leading right up to the United States’ doorstep. Similarly, Douglas J. MacDonald lays out the viewpoints held by policymakers

Sam Stevens lives in an apartment building owned by his landlord, Mr. Quinn, where he has been working on an invention that plays the sound of a barking dog to scare off potential intruders. A national chain store has contacted Mr. Stevens, and would like to sell his product exclusively. Despite the fact that Mr. Stevens and the store never signed a physical contract, he verbally told a store manager several months ago that he would ship 1,000 units. Now, the chain store has just contacted Mr. Stevens via letter, demanding that he deliver the promised 1,000 units immediately (Southern New Hampshire University, n.d.).

Jeffrey Weise was a teenage boy that had experienced a very rough life growing up. He was not seen as an average sixteen year-old by some, but more of an outsider. Weise lost his parents at a very early age, and struggled to have a normal American life since then. Weise’s mother was an alcoholic, and his father was always in some sort of trouble with the law. By the age of twelve Jeffrey had already lost his father to a suicidal death, paternal grandmother, and had a mother suffering with brain damages due to a drunk driving accident. He suffered with depression, and suicidal thoughts for a long time, according to a timeline of Weise’s life by Peter Langman (2005). When news media interviewed some of Weise’s friends they described him as open-minded individual, willing to help others, and a very nice guy (Maag 2005). Jeffrey was also a guy known to being an Adolf Hitler admirer, having a love for guns, and posting to online websites about his willingness to commit a school shooting. Days prior to the shooting, Jeffrey watched the film Elephant, which was about a school shooting (Langman 2005).

The mere meaning of words can have a significant impact on a person or situation depending on how the words are interpreted. Professor Del Russo discussed in his lecture Recap of the Galloway and MTS Cases, that words are inherently ambiguous, imprecise, and capable of having multiple interpretations. As we have learned in the State vs. Galloway case, laws do not have precise definitions, and can be cracked open and interpreted in a way that is going to benefit the accused. Galloway was originally charged with 3rd degree Child Endangerment and then later the charge was downgraded to a 4th degree charge because the court ruled that Galloway did not have a “significant, ongoing, meaningful relationship” or a “legal responsibility or duty to

March 21st, 1987 was an ordinary day in Smithville, New Jersey. The 80th day of the year held very little significance in the minds of most, but for bride and groom to be Charles Attwood and Kennedy Miller, March 21st was a day that symbolized a new beginning. Adorned in her perfectly altered wedding gown and elaborately coiffed hair, Kennedy made her way down the aisle and into her new husband’s arms. The happy couple walked out of the wedding chapel hand in hand into their 1976 Magnolia Daimler, and sped away to their home. Unfortunately, the bride and groom never made it to their reception. Kennedy, with her pristine wedding heels in hand, brutally stabbed her husband 27 times, then proceeded to kill herself in the bathroom. The family

When was the last time you were faced with a challenge? Without challenges every day we as human beings, would never achieve anything. Because we are facing new challenges every day, we are discovering things that we can only dream about. Every single one of us are faced with challenges day in and day out.

This did not stop Warren from doing some marvelous things with his life. Warren has climbed many mountains all around the world , even

Nations living in the world differs from each other and each nation has its own nutrition style. Few countries have cuisines such as France, Turkey, and Italy. Others have multinational fast food chains in all over the world such as the USA. In 1967, the first Macdonald's restaurant was opened in Canada, outside the USA.
