This should allow one to reach an informed conclusion. In order to answer the first part of the question, this paper will now proceed to explain the causes and major events of the cold war according to the revisionist approach. In this, the focus must be on the revisionist approach first, and not the, to be discussed events. In the revisionist approach USA is seen as driving force of Cold War. The Soviet Union is seen defensive in its actions and its policies are argued to be a response to those of America (Lundestad, 2010:9).
War itself has a very specific definition, which it is useful to mention here because we have to know what war is before we can determine whether or not it is just. War must be understood as "an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities" (Orend, 2005). Fistfights, gang rumbles, family feuds and other such endeavors are not wars (Orend, 2005). Classical war "is international war, a war between different states, like the two World Wars. But just as frequent is war within a state between rival groups or communities, like the American Civil War" (Orend, 2005).
On that alone I was willing to support his perspective, but needed to critically evaluate it as a credible argument. I wanted to prove that through Fulbright’s argument there was an alternative to involvement in conflict. I learned in my critical evaluation that even though it is desirable not to get involved in war, and not sacrifice American lives, that Fulbright does not provide a reasonable alternative. It was a difficult conclusion to reach. I had to overcome my own bias on the issue and examine objectively each aspect and implication of Fulbright’s argument.
* Ideology Ideology is a system of concepts regarding how things ought to be organised. Teams of individuals could have competitive thoughts and ideations, this will cause conflict. An example of this can be the cold war, in which the USA and also the Soviet Union had competitive political and economic ideologies after the world war ll. * Politics This issue is split into two areas, International Politics and Internal Politics. International politics is engulfed with potential sources of war and conflict, like border disputes and disputes over territory, as shown within the current conflicts in India, Pakistan
Moore and Parker (2007, pps. 456-457) presents the reader with the article Controlling Irrational Fears After 9/11 which is an excellent of use of rhetoric in hiding premises and conclusions. The authors of the article provide a lot of arguments that use fallacies based on outrage and innuendo, which do not support many of the arguments that they make throughout. However, the authors do want to “influence our attitudes or beliefs,” (Moore and Parker, 2007, p. 117) which provides the basis for some argument exploration. Two primary arguments that are seen within the article are; 1) strategies currently used to fight terrorism are ineffective and; 2) the U.S. has over-reacted to terrorist attacks.
What part of this threat is a “national security threat” or “foreign aggression” that is a DOD responsibility as part of the Homeland Defense mission? What is “homeland security” and what is the DOD role in homeland security? Until these questions are answered, military officers will struggle to clearly understand their role inside domestic society. However, questions over the division of responsibilities between federal and state officials and between various federal agencies in the current (post-9/11) strategic environment remain unresolved. In this essay we will try to discuss the organization of the Homeland Security, the issues, and challenges the organization is
Life would be a lot harder if these things had never been created, wouldn’t it? Also, by going to other countries, we can make new ties with new nations economically, politically, and socially as well as gather more history or maybe learn something about other nations and how they use their resources. Another positive aspect of war
Introduction: Modern States face new challenges, such as international terrorism and the proliferation of mass-destruction weapons, which make national security an even more complicated matter.

This raises an interesting question and an intriguing premise for the people of these countries on what sort of societies they wish to build in place of the ones they overthrew, and at what pace. This essay will primarily examine the extent to which these new societies should protect individual rights to free expression and action, especially given their uniformly volatile and unstable political situations currently. To do this, we will examine it under the premises put forth by Artistotle, Karl Marx and John Stuart Mill on the
Turkey has had its share of changes and challenges brought by the new era. In this new era, thanks to the newly emerging security atmosphere in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War, the new types of threats were increasingly scrutinized in Turkey. For the Turkish security elite, there has often been a spill-over effect between internal and external threats; the internal front has often been regarded as an extension of the external front. During the Cold War, domestic communist groups were regarded as instruments of the USSR; in the post Cold War world, ethnic separatists and religious fundamentalists were not only evaluated as internal threats but also as extensions of external threats and as reflections of global trends of rising ethnic and religious
