Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried Introduction O’Brien, in his novel The Things They Carried, pictures himself as a soldier sent to Vietnam in the late 1960s on an American mission to combat. He describes the war as terrible for the American soldiers like himself, the Vietnamese civilians, and his fellow soldiers. O’Brien links his childhood with his being a soldier in the novel and his present self as a writer and explores the trauma he undergoes after the war. The connection between the Narrator, Child and old Timmy When expressed as both character and author, Tim has similar experiences in the two cases. O’Brien shares the same name as the protagonist in his novel and also a similar background. Like O’Brien in the story, William Timothy Junior was born and spent his early life in Minnesota at the borders of South Dakota in America. His childhood compares to that of his characters in the novel, marked by American kid-ness, summers spent on baseball leagues, and later as an adult spent his life on jobs and girls. During his early…

Introduction to International Politics In your introduction, provide a brief version of your response. What are your main arguments? Briefly explain your chain of reasoning. Also, provide a brief “roadmap” of the rest of the paper. If choosing one IR theory over another, briefly discuss why you found the others less helpful. You do not need to spend much space on this, but do briefly explain why other theories are not as applicable. Make sure your paper flows well and avoid “jolts” or jumping from one topic to the next. This is why “mapping” (see point 1) is helpful – it provides a guidance and general structure to your paper. Allow yourself plenty of time to do sufficient background reading and research. For instance, if you are not familiar with the Iraq War (2003-), make sure you understand the timeline of the conflict, the politics in the run-up to the war, and the political arguments used domestically to justify the decision to go to war.[unique_solution] In your research, start with the resources at the library, especially books and scholarly articles.…
rights and privileges as parts of states’ constitutions In most democracies around the globe, rights and privileges are parts of states’ constitutions. People understand the “literal meanings” of both terms, but sometimes confusion arises between their concepts, especially when individuals want to enjoy the same privileges as rights. Privileges are particular entitlement to immunity extended for specific or restricted groups granted by the State or relevant authority under a conditional basis (Van & William, 2010). Privileges are related to, but different from, immunities (Bogen, 2003). It can be considered to be an exemption from a particular legal duty or restraint, as the obligation to testify in Courts. As a result, Congressional members are privileged from being arrested. They are also immune from testifying or answering in other places for their debate or speech. How the term “privilege” is applied in the Constitution suggests that it is a form of right distinguished not by conditionability or revocability, but by the fact that it may not be asserted until the relevant authority take action against it (Bogen, 2003). A privilege provided by…

influence of the government of shifting to modern technology usage In our current society, the use of modern technology has prompted the government to shift to digital ways of offering services to its citizens. The benefits ascertained from the use of the new technology surpasses the traditional method of granting government services to the nation. In emphasizing this, several other changes have been made in the government sector to strengthen the use of technology in offering services. For example, the connected government act is one of the amendments recently passed to validate this ambition. With the increased advancements in the use of the internet and its benefits, the government website is no longer seen as a tool of acquiring information but as one with several other benefits to a people’s nation. Clear guidelines and stipulations on the creation of mobile websites of the government are listed in the connected government act. The acts require the apps enlisted for government websites are acceptable in the mobile phones’ screens, unlike in the past, where they were designed only to suit the computer…
State Responsibility state responsibility shows what a state needs to protect its affairs and the principle governing the breaching of international duty. An example is given of French agent that fled to New Zealand to protest against the testing of nuclear weapons but killed by their states. The killing of the agent brought the question concerning the rights possessed by a country regarding statehood matters. According to judge Huber, the international character’s right involves a global responsibility. Three articles from the international law commission are used to understand the challenges faced by state responsibility. State liability which talks about compensation for damages as a result of harmful legal acts. State responsibility goes beyond compensation. State responsibility stems from the failure of the government to control certain events or people when expected to do so. International laws determine the international wrong Law of the sea The Law of the sea governs the activities of any nation that goes beyond the territories in the oceans. They give a clear indication of the right to exploit resources in these ocean state boundaries. These…
Government Funding of Airports: A Review of the Financial and Budgetary Concepts of Funding and Operating Airports Airports in the United States of America (U.S.A) are powerful engines for economic opportunities in both local communities and the nation. They generate more than $ 1.4 trillion, which is 8% of the Gross Domestic Product (G.D.P) in annual economic activity and employ more than 1.3 million people, which amounts to 7% of the total U.S workforce (Smith, 2018). This growth is attributed to the rise in passenger traffic through airport facilities. A recent survey conducted by Statista (Mazareanu, 2019) on the leading airports in the USA for international air passenger traffic in 2018 revealed that the John F Kennedy airport alone handled over 16 million passengers and was ranked first in Passenger traffic in the U.S. While passenger traffic through airport facilities continues to increase, the outdated aviation infrastructure cannot keep pace with this overwhelming increase. Therefore, Airports need to modernize their infrastructure to meet current demands. As airports continually work to upgrade their infrastructure to improve the passenger experience and spur…
Politics and government Ideology is the collection of ideas and ideals that are used to forms the basis of political and government decisions. The doctrines are used as a plan of action for policymaking to explain and justify political strategies and government action. Liberalism is where liberals believe that it is the role of the government to help in equality for all and equal opportunity. The government should remove all the ills in society and protect human rights. On the other hand, conservatism consists of more personal responsibility, individual liberty, free market, limited government, and strong national defense. Conservatives believe it is the role of the government to provide freedom to enable them to pursue their goals (Student News Daily, 2010). Comparisons Both liberals and conservatives believe in the hierarchy as the coordinating concept of society. They believe in unlimited economic growth since they both consider there is no other alternative They both believe in equal opportunities for all. In both cases, the absence of coercion is the definition of freedom Contrasts Abortion, according to liberals, is legal. The government…
Governmental Strategies Introduction Citizens of a prosperous, democratic country have to partake in the economic, legal, and political processes of the state through participation and inclusion of civil societies. This is the ideological perception that I have brought into the government after being elected as the President of this nation. Before my election, the country had faced numerous atrocities that created divisions resulting in crumbling of economic, political, and defense structures. A comprehensive governing structure for the new government is, therefore, essential. This paper aims at providing details on the governing principles and styles, various arms of the government, and their respective functions. Besides, the paper will address the economic structures that will be enacted by the government to provide essential benefits to the citizens and foreign investors. Finally, a mechanism of creating national unity and combating with internal and external security threats will be provided. Domestic Concerns Style and principles of the new government The new government will use a democratic-participative governing style that incorporates the opinions and views of the citizens in making final decisions (Amanchukwu et al.,…
