The tension between the two countries developed after the Second World War, whereby the two countries emerged as the world’s superpower. The Cold War was influenced by the ideological, economic, and political differences between the two countries. The United States wanted to stop the political and ideological influences of the Soviet Union across Europe and the rest of the world.  The U.S. advocated for capitalism, free markets, and representative democracies around the world while the USSR wanted to spread communist ideologies and bureaucratic systems of governing.

Philosophy helps people to understand why a particular phenomenon exists. They provide theories and experiments to test this fact. In chapter six, it expounds on the problem of evil and argues about the existence of God. It describes three major areas; on the universe: God as a creator, the meaning of faith, and when bad things happen to people who are good, it particularly articulates God as a trouble maker (Schick and Vaughn). Thought experiments are devices that are used to help in imagination. They are used to educate, explore, and in the analysis of concepts. In chapter six, the most convincing phenomenon on the existence of God is based on faith. It is believing in something that cannot be seen or touched.

Differences in Neural Response to Romantic Stimuli in Men Introduction The article reveals the statistical analysis carried out by the research in identifying the occurrence of monogamy and sole mating amongst the non-human mammals, which stands at a low percentage of less than 3%. This indicates that non-human mammals lead to polygamous nature, where the individual male members sire with numerous females within the same species. On the side of human beings, some social, cross-cultural factors affect this behaviour. Such cultures inhibit the practice and endorsement of the monogamous nature of living, although there are some evidence the show traces of absolute non-compliance of this practice. The higher numbers of cases indicated by the American survey indicate that infidelity is shared among the married couples which stand at 25% or men and 15% cases for the women. Therefore the statistics reveal that the monogamous nature in a human being is very uncommon as the overall percentage of infidelity tends to approach half the total population. The authors further indicate that there some variables which contribute to this phenomenon. The variables…
