The Virtue of Justice and Justice in Waging War In this chapter, I have been refreshed on matters that revolve around justice. It is worth noting that justice is a steady disposition in an individual to give other individuals their due. I firmly believe that part of this includes determining what might be exactly due to these people (Mattison III, 2008, p. 136). Over the years, I have pondered more on the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially when I have had to consider justice. For instance, Jesus urges us to love our neighbor as ourselves. This principle ensures that a person is in peace and harmony in their dealings with those around them. It is always proper to be careful to avoid things that are perceived by many as ‘natural’ in determining what is just. As the author argues, some people might be seen by society as natural-born liars hence using this to defend them (Mattison III, 2008, p. 138). We might end up saying that ‘it is not their fault; they are born that way.’ However, it is essential…
face to face communication Communication is an integral aspect of our everyday lives, most notably now in an era where the world has become a global village. In today’s world, people are communicating more through online channels, for example, social media platforms, messaging, and video calls. However, this kind of communication has been at the expense of face to face dialogue whereby people prefer virtual interactions over real-life conversations. This paper will focus on face to face communication, what the process entails, focusing on intricacies like active listening, verbal and non-verbal communication cues, self and perception, noting how it boosts the achievement of either personal or professional relationships. In module one, the chapter focuses on the communication process. Communication is defined as a process in which messages are conveyed from one person to another. The process involves a sender, a message, and a recipient. Discussions can take place through the use of different modalities, using various channels, and can happen in different locations or contexts. During this module, I have learned on reasons for communicating, such as maintaining relationships, which…

Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America Ngai, Mae M. Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America-updated edition. Vol. 105. Princeton University Press, 2014. Most historians neglect the time in history when America introduced immigration acts into American law and society. The periods between 1924 and 1965 were tumultuous to ‘Illegal Aliens’ and Mae Ngai’s book, “Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America,” shines the light to this under-researched history. Mae Ngai unruffles historical archives to detail American history in the pre-modern era. Before 1924, America had an open-door policy that was welcoming to all persons. Old migrants or new, all were free to enter America and have a new lease of life. After 1965, however, the new immigrants had overflowed into America, and the country had to rethink its immigration policies. The United States altered the criteria of admission to the country, an act that by itself changed the stories of previously perceived national heroes into villains and unwelcome guests within the U.S. borders. Mae Ngai’s Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the…
The political and economic system in Venezuela during the reign of Hugo Chavez The government of the late Venezuelan president proposed and implemented numerous political and economic policies. President Chavez applied a rough form of socialism by redirecting all the resources to the poor. During his reign, the Venezuelan economy was dominated by the petroleum sector. The petroleum sector accounts for approximately a third of the Venezuelan GDP. The president enacted populist economic principles as part of the famous Bolivarian Revolution. During his reign, the government was semi-authoritarian. His administration consolidated power over the economy to manage the vast economic resources in the country. In the country, the president used the funds earned from the sales of oil to implement his populist policies. The oil funds were used to create the Bolivarian Missions through which the government provided public services. These policies succeeded in improving the social, economic, and cultural environments in the country. These policies incorporated the equitable distribution of wealth, land reforms, and public involvement in the nation-building process. During this reign, the economy exhibited a continuous positive…
constructivism theory and its strengths and weaknesses in relation to international relations For many years, International Relations had two predominant classical theories. These are realism and liberalism. After the Cold War, however, these classical theories failed to explain the cause of the rapid changes in the world systems. Therefore, Alexander Wendt, a theorist, came up with the theory of constructionism. According to this theory, the material world shapes itself through actions such as human interactions, which depend on dynamic epistemic and normative interpretation of nations. Wendt’s theory provided answers to questions that classical theories failed to explain. However, the theory faces significant skepticism from neo-realisms and liberalists or pluralists. This essay examines the constructivism theory and outlines its strengths and weaknesses in relation to international relations. One has to analyze how the constructivism theory’s history, to gain knowledge on how it came to be. Before the Cold War, realism and liberalism governed not only internal but also international politics. Behravesh (2011), states that realism holds human beings captive due to the cyclical and repetitive behavioral patterns. According to realists, human…

Ancient Jews Ancient Jews resided in Spain all the way to the Sahara under both Christian and Muslim rule. There was no independent Jewish state starting from the obliteration of the Second Jewish Temple in 70 Anno Domini up to the establishment of Israeli State in the year 1948. Despite the Jews facing similar experiences in their domains, one key aspect was that there was no clear distinction between the state and religious factions. Jewish life at the time was subject to different experiences as the distinction between the Church and State accompanied by a lack of standard religious rules concerning Jews, triggered an arbitrary application of ruthless doctrines in punishment. In Islamic rule, Jews were controlled under the Pact of Omar. This 17th Century agreement made it mandatory for non-Muslims living under Islamic rules to adhere to a myriad of discriminatory laws. These laws were tailored to subdue non-Muslims in a bid to make them inferior forcefully and loyal subjects. For instance, non-Muslims were required to treat Muslims with utmost respect and bow while in their presence, and Jewish…
