What is Zionism? How does it differ from nationalism? (or does it?) Zionism is the religious and political effort that brought from around the world back to the ancient homeland in the Middle East and then reestablished Israel as the central location for Jewish identity (Suzman, 2016). In other words, Zionism is the movement to reestablish or recreate the Jewish presence in Israel. Contrarily nationalism is the independent, driven movement focused on acquiring and maintaining unity and identity of a particular nation through cohesion and determination. Jewish nationalism is also characterized by social justice and equality. Nationalism is also characterized by a high level of acceptance for one another via concepts such as urbanization to minimize the problem of ethnicity. Critics of the modern state of Israel argue, among other things, that it is an imperialist outpost of the United States. What evidence might support such an argument? What evidence might refute it? Apart from being “an imperialist outpost of the United States,” Israel is a prime example of decolonization and the 2nd case in the history of an indigenous…
Honor violence in Virginia Honor violence, which can also be referred to as dueling, is described by Bruce Baird as a violence that is employed in defense of a person’s honor. The honor violence was strongly condemned by the upper-class consensus, which was living in Virginia. The evolution of honor violence before the revolution was sparked by the aristocratic competition and democratic disputes that affected the unity of the upper-class consensus and saw the beginning of dueling acceptance. The second factor that influenced the evolution of honor violence during the revolution was the challenge of having honor. Bruce describes in chapter four of Violence and Brutality in American History this by stating that dueling still faced difficulties before it could be accepted by the people (Michael, 1999). Lee argued that the law of honor was manifested even on those who opposed dueling in their principle because he believed that the opinion of humanity, which is more of law, forces a man to resent an insult and connects the contempt of a coward to them if they refuse. The influence of…

However, terroristic attacks are dynamic, and it becomes hard to predict when and how it will occur. However, it is necessary for the US government, primarily Homeland Security, the federal department that deals with terrorism to predict future terrorism so that it may include the best strategies to counter the same. This paper predicts how future terrorism might be like. First, terroristic attacks in the US are expected to be committed by US residents, especially by White Supremacist Extremists and Homegrown Violent Extremists. This was supported by the 2020 terrorism report on terrorism by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. Over time, terrorism threats have shifted from Islamic extremists to domestic terrorists. Since the 1980s to the early 2000s, the US was under continuous threat by the Al-Qaida, a Middle East Islamic terrorist group.

The constitution of India In 2009, India’s Election Commission took the first step by allowing transgender to choose their gender as “other” on ballot forms. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a significant initiative of the 11th Five Year Plan period, which brought employment opportunities for transgender people. The constitution of India has given equal rights like other citizens and ensures that they should not be discriminated against on the ground of gender as it can violate Article 14,15,16 and 21.

They also explain the examples of the NODC plans for the executives’ retirement, the mechanisms for funding the NGOC plans, and the separation agreement for the executives.
