Another significant reason why the US intervened in South East Asia was the power vacuum after Dien Bien Phu. The French were defeated and withdrew from Vietnam, and the US were worried that China, or even perhaps the Soviets would begin to take control. Then Ho Chi Minh emerged as a potential leader; Ho had spent time in Moscow and the US viewed him as a communist rather than a nationalist, which meant they feared him being in power and therefore, they had to get involved in South East Asia. Alternatively, the US may have intervened in South East Asia because of the lack of faith in the Geneva accords.
While affecting, just like he point out to, it was distasteful. His ideas were possible, but too severe. Making the ending surprise-like give it that extra severe tone, further more weakening any thought of supporting this idea. Overall,
Today, it seems that media is censored so much that the American people have almost been made to be soft, which plays a completely different role in the ethics of a photojournalist. I know that this doesn’t really go off exactly what the chapter says, but, (in my opinion) I think that ethics is effected by the censorship, in the way that: Because we have been withheld from so much of what has been going on in the war that we’re in, we are finding it ethically wrong to run some of the more traumatic photos out of fear that the American people can’t handle the
Explain the criticisms of the Cosmological Argument. The Cosmological Argument has been criticised time and time again, but i am only going to go into two of the most well known criticisms. Hume criticised the link between cause and effect and says that just because we have an effect that doesn't mean we have to have a cause, an example of this is the universe it is an effect but it doesn't necessarily have to have a cause. Hume also said that our senses can be wrong, meaning the way that i may see something can be different to how someone else may see the same thing, and Hume said that when we see an effect it is instantly in our human nature to make an assumption about the cause. This shows that the argument is subjective and not solid
Each country, especially the United States, had an almost isolationistic view of their role in the world. Today, however, we face the challenge of enemies who do not think rationally and will die for what they think is the greater good, so the view of seclusion is not longer valid. The suicidal attitude of these new adversaries makes these types of people’s actions very hard to predict and track which leads to a danger that is unpredictable and around which we cannot devise a defensive plan. Another idea is that the civilized world believes that the economically developed countries take care of the less developed countries. In an article written by James G. Pradke called “Idealism vs. Realism: a Modern Approach to Capitalism Vs. Socialism,” dated April 16, 2010, he quoted Merriam-Webster’s dictionary (2010) which “claims that realism dismisses idealization and presents a theory which focuses on concern for fact or reality while rejecting
As such, I feel that Ford and Firestone handled stakeholder issues poorly, and although certain measures were implemented after the incident, I feel that they were insufficient, tardy and unhelpful in regaining customer loyalty. As a result, outcomes of the crisis were less than desirable. From this, we are able to gain many valuable lessons so that these mistakes would not have been made in vain. The largest shortcoming of how Ford and Firestone handled the situation was that they refused to accept responsibility for the product failure. Instead, they shifted the blame to each other, citing the wrong tyre pressure as a reason.
Victor also foreshadows how misfortune had tainted his mind, “...misfortune had tainted my mind and changed its bright visions of extensive usefulness into gloomy and narrow reflections…”(Shelley, 24). This quote shows how at first he had psychedelic visions of helping and being convenient until a misfortune had tainted his mind to change these to dark images. This misfortune was the want for power. Prometheus seeks for enlightenment and power in a different way. Prometheus gets power from stealing fire from Zeus but in return he is punished.
Later in 1980, Robert Agnew came up with a revised concept of strain theory which mainly focused on the aspect of criminology, this was termed as the general strain theory. He found that the previous works of Durkheim and Merton attributed to a number of flaws since they did not produce enough evidence and lacked the necessary supporting data which evidently concluded with a number of errors in their theories. Robert Agnew’s general strain theory was more overly based on an individual’s failure to accomplish set goals, exposure to negative stimulus or the elimination of a positive valued stimulus, would therefore result in strain. This adverse impact on the individual would there after lead to actions that would break the set laws of a country. Factors that lead individuals to commit crime: * Unemployment: A main cause of concern for people all over the world.
Kantian ethics is a poor theory. Discuss (10 marks) Kantian ethics can be seen as poor theory as it has its weaknesses. Every situation is unique, universal laws aren’t helpful in the real world where every situation is different. If no two situations are the same, morality should be relativist rather than absolutist. Another weakness is the consequences, in some situations when consequences are too severe that many think it is better to break a rule than allow awful thing to happen.
This weakened the government and ultimately enabled Soviet opposition to bring an end to the USSR. Although the opposition group in Poland Solidarity could share some of the blame as they inspired the domino effect that brought end to the USSR, it was once again Gorbachev failing as he did nothing to oppose them. It is therefore evident that Gorbachev, as a result of his ill thought out, badly instituted reforms was almost entirely responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. When Gorbachev was first brought into power in 1985, the USSR was facing both serious economic and social problems. Collectivisation was inefficient forcing USSR to import goods, however, goods were still scare and when available were of terrible quality.
