History overtime has shown a variety of different reactions to cultural mixing and identities coming together. The ways that East Asia and the Americas adapted to changes in the world were very different.

I heard a short sentence on Facebook from a young man “Waking up later wastes the morning, but getting up earlier destroys all the day.” I know he was kidding, but when I back to think of that, I’m totally agree with what he said. In China, there is a morning class called “morning reading” begging at 7am. Every students need to come to the class and do exercises after that class. Therefore, since middle school, I’ve hate the morning when I have to wake up early for that class and do that stupid…

Historically, war has produced a culture of nationalist fervor, and overwhelming disdain for the opposition. In the period leading up to, and during the Second World War, there was rapidly growing anti-Japanese sentiment within the American psyche. Our people and government took aggressive actions against the Japanese, both inside and outside of our borders. Japanese people were depicted with overtly stereotyped caricatures in the media, and racial slurs were commonplace in our vernacular. These…

The European expansion into the New World was no different in that in order to take advantage of the America’s fertile virgin land first the natives must…

These core competencies can stem from natural resources the country is home to, example of this is grain in the United States or oil in the Middle East. The availability of resources is also an advantage of globalization, because natural resources are not always prevalent in all countries. Movement of goods in and out of countries stimulates the global market. The United States also has a core competency in technology and therefore can send jobs to countries like China has a competency in cheap…

the first time American states have denied basic human rights to individuals. Around the 1800s and up until today, people of color have been stripped of their basic rights. Before the civil rights movement starting popping up in the 60s, people of color were labeled as “colored” from their white counterparts and not allowed to use the same space as the “whites.” The similarities between both issues are frightening close. In an article written by Doctor Comrade, he states, “…and it 's hard not to…

The much more recent proposal that has been favoured by quite a number of states in the Group of 4 (G4) Plan. The G4 proposal is more of a mix between Model A of the High Level Panel Report and the Razali Plan. It highlights legitimacy and efficiency the way Model A does, and attacks the Security Council’s “representative character” (Cox, 2009: 105-106) taken from the Razali Plan. On top of that, the G4 looks at the meaning of security with reference to the Charter. It argues that the concept of…
