Time. It is like an ever-rolling stream. Flowing continuously, time makes a permanent recording of history, what exactly happened. Despite how much historians consider and dispute certain events, one idea is prominent. Humans never learn. No matter the culture, no matter the race, no matter the background, humans neglect the opportunity to be omnipotent.

Introduction The media and I have a history of disagreeing. I have referred to them with many derogatory names, of which they deserve, and continue to see their faults in 2017 (Truman, 1951).

Politics seem based more on who the public does not like, rather than who they are in favor of. Profound changes in the relationship between news media and policy makers have emerged as byproducts

Under the strict regime of dictators Kim Jong-Un and Kim Jong-Il, personal freedoms have been stripped from the North Korean people, turning North Korea into a world-renowned symbol of poverty and suppression. Had these reforms not occurred, would North Korea be seen under such a negative light? The Giver, a dystopian

1) David Kang said in one of his lectures that South Korea has closed the economic gap and become a global nation, but he never did say how South Korea did this (David Kang, 2017).

In 1992, at the end of the Cold War, political scientist Francis Fukuyama argued that with Western Liberal Democracy’s victory in the battle of ideologies, there was no more history to be made. Indeed, in such a monumental moment in human history, it may have been easy for scholars to believe that the human experience is done developing. Samuel Huntington responded to Fukuyama in his 1993 essay “Clash of Civilizations,” arguing that history is far from over. Rather, world politics is simply entering

Throughout history, various countries have been under intense government ruling where the citizens are given little freedom and lack privacy. During the Soviet Era, Russian citizens experienced an oppressing lifestyle where their paranoid leader, Joseph Stalin, enforced various laws which limited the liberties of the people. For the people of Oceania in the novel 1984 by George Orwell, Big Brother is their manipulating leader who controls every aspect of their lives. This novel, written in 1949,

For thousands of years, humans have been struggling to maintain a utopic society. However, there have been many conflicts of humanity and universal peace. During the genesis of many nations, numerous people fought and sweated blood to achieve their natural human rights. For instance, United States of America, within the 200 years, went through many significant historical events, shaping it into a nation of reserved civil rights for all people. Today, North Korea may be noticeably the most rights-deprived
