The U.S. and Venezuelan governments share notable resemblances in their structures. Markedly, both are federal republics where power is shared between the national and state administrations (Worldfacts, 2008: World facts, 2009).

Perhaps, during the year 1800-1848, the Lewis and clerk expedition and Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 played a significant role in Westward Expansion. According to Corbett, Janssen, Lund, Pfannestiel, Waskiewicz & Vickery (2019), Lewis and Clerk discovered the road map to connect the two nations, and also the culture so that both countries can interact with minimal cultural conflicts.

Carbon Tax The carbon tax is the fee that the government charges on the combustion of carbon-related elements such as natural gas, oil, gasoline, or coal. The burning of these abundant carbon fuels produces greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, which causes global warming by heating the atmosphere. The carbon tax purpose is to show the real cost of combusting carbon. The carbon tax is majorly used by economists to lower and ultimately discourage the burning of coal-based fuel that significantly leads to global climate change (Dinan, 2012). Economists view the carbon tax as the only way to have the carbon-related fuel users get charged for causing climate damage by producing carbon dioxide to the environment. A carbon tax, if raised high, economists view it as a powerful monetary tool that enables the users to move to other clean sources of energy available. The cost is incurred by the companies and consumers to pay for the external effects they cause on the global Climate. Economists view the carbon tax as a good policy because it lowers the…

International Relations For the survival of the modern competitive world, international relations are considered as necessity aspects. This is because any country, which has isolated from the world finds it hard to survive in a competitive world. For decades, Syria has been suffering due to the isolation from other countries. Thus, leading to conflict between some western countries and Israel. However, this paper aims to discuss how Realism, Liberalism, and Radicalism theories of international relations view the current Syria War. According to Realism viewpoint, a principle driving force behind Syria’s competitive relations is considered to be the interest of people (Mingst 554). This is because, people want freedom in doing what they want, without being dictated or being taken advantage by other people. In Syria, people have rebelled against the government, since it dictates people, takes away their freedom and captivates an individual’s interest. The actions of people liberating themselves from a dictatorial government often support realists claim, which suggests that conflict can be resolved by war. Moreover, Liberalism theory assists in providing a valid explanation on Liberalism theory…

Government’s Policy In the 19th Century, Indians were forced to migrate from the eastern sides of the United States to the west of Mississippi River. During that time, The Indian Removal Act that was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830 did not take effect during his regime because he took a hard stand on that matter. One of the factors that stimulated Indians’ removal was the fact that European settlers wanted to occupy those lands. The Americans also believed that Native Americans were primitive, and thus, they did not want to live close to them. Americans also considered Indians traditions as barbaric and intolerable. Therefore, they believed that assimilation was a vital process that will make them live in peace with them. At that time, Americans claimed that Indians should forsake their religion and accept Christianity so that they could be saved from ‘fires of hell.’ According to Washburn (2014), the establishment of the Dawes Act reinforced numerous changes to the ways of life of Indians by eliminating Indian culture and confiscated and redistributed tribal lands. Indian nations were forced…
