News is not typically part of a teenagers daily life.Every day, I stay updated on current events. The BBC app on my phone is what I visit the most in a day, more than Snapchat. While most of my friends are catching up on their snapchat streaks, I am browsing through the various international stories on the BBC app on my phone. Reading on topics such as foreign policy and economics is something that always has interested me. Currently, the largest news event when it comes to foreign policy is the huge independence debate in Catalonia. The government of Catalonia has reared close to making a formal declaration of independence from the Spain. Yet, as expected, the Spanish government has not exactly reacted well to this whole situation. In my …show more content…
Analyzing the topic with some other people in Congressional debate allowed for a highly informed debate to ensue. Those who argued for denouncing the weapon sales to Saudi Arabia focused on how the US intervention and subsequent injection of weapons into the Middle East following the Gulf war has spurred an arms race, further leading to greater chaos, leading to the situation that the Middle East is currently in. However, those who were arguing against denouncing reciprocated by verbalizing the benefits of giving Saudi Arabia weapons is that they have the potential of ending the turmoil in the Middle East. Both sides gave highly informed arguments which frequently sought to undermine the arguments from the opposing side. The pragmatic, focused argumentation seen on both sides is highly representative of what Congressional Debate causes people to do. The various intricacies that go in with every single issue need to be recognized when it comes to developing a pragmatic solution. I approach every debatable topic with the desire to have an in-depth understanding of both sides as to bolster not only my argument but also my knowledge of the topic. As a result of being in Congressional Debate, my reading material is primarily web-based articles and reports. Going back to the beginning, the BBC is often my go-to source of information, but
This will provide the company with the chance to more efficiently manage its activities (Mangiaracina et al, 2011). At present, the company does not have any key plans in place to provide it with help with managing its applications. It is however critical for the company’s management to ensure that it clearly understands the importance of putting in places a wireless technology. This is due to the fact that the company will have a better chance to track its inventory while at the same time ensure that it is able to remotely control all of its 10 new stores (Rekik et al, 2009).
This semester I read about 16 articles of news that either happened currently or years before. The only source I used to to find these articles were a site called Newsela. Newsela to me is a very trustworthy site to use to find news articles about anything subject matter. There is Financial, Science, and many more I could’ve used for my current events assignments. I found Newsela because my teacher recommended me to use the website for the assignments. What I found most interesting about this assignment was the different news that can appear each day. I can log on one day and see many various news events, then the next day a whole new page of news surface. I also like to be updated with what is happening in the world even if I’m far from the event. What I found most challenging of the assignments were writing about who the target audience were for each news article. I was not sure who the articles would target, because I would just find any news article that seemed interesting to me. Finding informational materials affected my understanding of the world by informing me information I would need to know in the future or keeping my awareness up of my surroundings. The topics that attracted
Foreign policy is how one nation deals with many other nations. The book talks about Ronald Regan trying to create foreign policy and then here you have congress like a bunch of ants floating on a log down river each ant thinking there in charge. Foreign policy from the way “How Congress Works’” says is set up by the president and not really. Having congress get involved makes foreign policy way more complicated then needed. Harry Truman was one man who was asked a question. A random person wanted to know who created foreign policy? His answer was that he did. Now this leads to a important example of foreign policy. This leads to John F. Kennedy and we all know what major foreign policy deal he had to deal with. It was the Cuban missile crisis.
The U.S. foreign policy has always been linked to the domestic policy since the U.S. never feared of expanding its national interests over the national boarders. Isolation for the U.S. usually implied slow economic growth and the large number of destructive conflicts within, while impudent foreign policy always guaranteed an abrupt economic growth for the U.S. economy. After the U.S. intervened in the WWI and the WWII, the U.S. economy witnessed a tremendous economic growth, nearly elimination of the unemployment, rapid urbanization and overall growth of the standards of living across the country. Decisive foreign policy has always been providing the U.S. economy with the sustainable and rapid economic growth, unlike the policy aimed at isolation of the U.S.
As was laid out in the previous section, the United-States always had a ‘hegemonic presumption’, the conception that Latin America was inferior, a supposition that gave the right to Washington to intervene in the region’s political and economic affairs (LeoGrande, 2007:384). This second chapter will explore how the U.S. intervened in Latin America, more specifically after the World War II. Indeed, the U.S. benefitted greatly from the aftermath of the war. A subsection will be dedicated to the Pink Tide in Latin America, with a focus on the U.S. foreign policy under President GW Bush and President Obama. The overthrown Presidents of Honduras and Paraguay were part of this movement and their outset signals a reversal in the region.
There were many events that lead the United States into World War 1. The three main
Between 1918 and 1953 there was a major change regarding the foreign policy of the United States. At the end of the First World War, we practiced a foreign policy that was first established by George Washington in his Farewell Address back in 1796, which set a precedent of isolationism that was adopted until the beginning of World War II. Following Washington 's Neutrality Proclamation, the US did not engage in many global affairs such as the French Revolution and remained neutral through all foreign affairs. At the end of World War I, we continued to practice isolationism by not engaging in foreign affairs and limiting military spending believing that by pursuing this policy we could maintain peace and avoid war. Unfortunately, this
The purpose of this research paper is to review some important literature concerning the foreign policy
Recent course books stress the part of sexual orientation, race, and culture on history to a far more prominent degree than course books composed fifty years prior. However recent course material has kept on offering the same "focal account" about America's past: the development of the national government. One of the real ways that course materials accentuate the significance of the national government is by examining presidential administrations at overwhelming length. Presidents are, obviously, imperative to American history, yet it appears to be wrong that course books commit many pages to moderately immaterial presidents while disregarding America's most noteworthy journalists, painters, helpful people, and researchers.

As Kelly Anderson’s Foreign Policy Analyst, the following memo will address three areas of the United States’ foreign policy. The U.S. has gone through may transition when it comes to its foreign policy. The United States has been an isolationist, neutralist, and internationalist country from the year it was founded to now. The executive branch and the president apply their power to influence and change the nation’s foreign policy. There are specific departments within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) created to assist the president in his or her process. Political context and historical events have occurred to prove why intervening with another country’s issues does not benefit the national interest and why isolationism is a better system for this country. Hopefully, the memo will accomplish informing what the foreign policy is, was, and should be.
America has its fair share of issues on the political agenda. Debates about taxes, gay marriage, health care, and gun control are all major issues that come up in Congress during almost every session. There is one issue, however, that has been debated since the early colonial period, before the United States of America was even a country. The issue of immigration is not only one of the most heavily debated topics in Congress; it is one of the most complex. It is an issue that affects both the nation’s foreign policy and domestic policy. America is, at its core, a nation of immigrants. This melting pot of people from around the world is what has caused this nation to be so successful. Unfortunately, the current immigration system that America has is in need of a complete overhaul. A comprehensive immigration reform package would be beneficial all across the board. The benefits to the economy would be immense, especially in times like these with America’s struggling economy.
The foreign policy of the United States has changed over time reflecting the change in its national interest. As a new nation after the Revolutionary War, America’s prime national interest was to maintain its independence from the European countries. Through the 19th century,
Throughout the course of history, the United States has remained consistent with its national interest by taking many different actions in foreign policy. There have been both immediate and long term results of these actions. Foreign policy is the United States policy that defines how we deal with other countries economically and politically. It is made by congress, the president, and the people. Some of the motivations for United States foreign policy are national security, economics, and idealism. The United States entry into World War I in 1917 and the escalation of the Vietnam War in 1964 and the both had great impact on the United States.
Foreign Policy, is government’s strategy in dealing with other nations, designed to achieve national objectives.

Results of the political typology quiz characterized me as a "Next Generation Left" who are "generally young, well-educated and financially comfortable" with "very liberal attitudes on many issues, including homosexuality, abortion, the environment and foreign policy". Contrary to my initial expectations of the results, I truly feel that the results of the quiz accurately describe my views flawlessly. Not only does the term "Next Generation Left" provide a basis for my attitude, but it also parallels with my situation both regarding sustainable finances and high quality education. Generally, I would consider myself a social liberal and fiscal conservative with a mildly strong trust in government to protect and serve the populous.
