AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY
In the world today, the American military is known to be one of the most effective military forces, but this was not until the First World War. America did not wish to enter and join the First World War for various reasons primarily because it did not wish to interfere with European affairs. However, this was not the case and towards the end of the war, America joined the Allied forces to help fight the German on the basis of provocation.
The First World War took place between 1914 and 1918 and mainly it was between the British and the French on one side and the Germany on the other side. At the time, America interests were not affected despite heavily relying on the British naval control of the Atlantic for economic gain. However, Germany continued threats and interference of the trade cost the world giant economy lots of money, but this was not enough reason to join the...
American Military History
After the civil war, there was the need to spearhead reconstruction and preach unity between the union and the confederate states. As a result, the military was widely used in the attempt to reconstruct the fallen nation after suffering heavy casualties in terms of manpower and material. The north which had defeated the South in the civil war saw the need to use the military to control the expansionist settlers and Indians who wanted to retain their land and ways of life. After the war, the citizen militia had worked tirelessly in the west to control the Indians in a brutal manner which made it difficult to establish a sense of peace for all people and races. The Indians were put in reserves in unproductive lands that were deemed prime for white settlement. These activities and actions were carried out in the hope that by controlling the Indians would help in Americanizing them. The main purpose of putting...
American Military History-HY 2000
The American civil war is one of the events that completely changed the American history forever. The war took place between 1861 and 1865 and it is remembered as one of the wars that resulted in heavy casualties regarding materials and manpower in the form of soldiers. The war was between the northern states widely known as the Union, and the southern states are widely known as the Confederate States of America. Despite the fact that the Union won the war, they experienced as heavy casualties as the Confederate States (Allison, 2016). The main reason as to why the union won the war is the fact that they used the extra manpower they had in the form of black community or the slaves to fight in the war. On the other hand, they southerners saw the Blackman as less a man and they did not use them until the later stages of the war, but this was no...
Ethical Principles
Christians in every corner of the world are known to use biblical exegesis, rational analysis and argument to justify their actions and way of doing things. Theologians use texts from the Old Testament and the New Testament to guide them in all their doings. Theology in most cases deals with faith, practice, and experience. Moreover, these beliefs involve the study of God and Gods relation to the world. On the other hand, ethical principles, they are principles in human life that provide and promote important values and aspect of human life such as trust, good behavior, fairness, and kindness when followed to the letter. However, unlike the theological beliefs, there is no one consistent and best ethical principle to be followed by all individuals and it is widely influenced by the prevailing circumstances (Webster, 2013). They are not easily enforceable, and it all goes down to individual’s conscious of ensuring that he or she observes ethical standards. This paper seeks...
Income Inequality
Footer notes
Slide 2
Income inequality is a major concern globally. Income inequality is a measure of income distribution among a population. The measure assesses the gap between the rich and the poor by examining the income distribution among a population. In the last three decades, income inequality has grown remarkably in the United States. This means that the rich are becoming richer while the poor remain worse off. Widening income gaps reflect diminishing income opportunities and mobility among the population. This is an indication that certain segments of the population are disadvantaged. High levels of income inequality in the economy may have severe consequences on the growth and development of the economy. Policymakers should implement income redistribution measures to ensure that the gap between the rich and the poor closes.
Slide 3
High levels of income inequality may lead to large social costs. Large income inequalities in the population can affect the ability of the individuals to access education opportunities and consequently...

In this current era where we are witnessing great improvement and advancement in information technology, mass media is one of the common in the world today. In the world today, the mass media can inform the citizens of the happenings through various platforms such as the Twitter, Facebook, radios, television sets and even WhatsApp applications.

Patterns of Irrational Decision Making
Irrational decision-making affects individuals from time to time. Most often, individuals are unaware of the irrational decisions they make. As such, most of the irrational decisions stem from individuals’ subconscious thoughts, which then become actions. Irrational decisions pertain those decisions that individuals make that either harm the well-being of others or themselves. According to Paul & Elder (2013), there are four common patterns of irrational decision-making. These include: (i) when individuals behave in ways that undermine other people’s welfare, (ii) behaving in ways that undermine our own welfare, (iii) withdrawing from activities that may improve an individual’s long-term welfare, (iv) deciding to involve with individuals who influence one to act in a way that undermines their own welfare or that of others.
An example of an occasion where I acted in accordance to one or more of the patterns of irrational decision-making is during my friend’s birthday party. After spending time indoors the whole day, we...
