With the constant threat of nuclear war overshadowing everyday life, the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 not only divided Germany, but manifested as a physical division between “the free world” and “the Communist world”, as termed by President John F. Kennedy. Two years later, he delivered his famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech at the Brandenburg Gate. Through heavy emotional appeal and an encouraging tone, Kennedy not only offers American solidarity to West Berlin, but instills confidence

China and The United States are the two most powerful countries in the world where people dream of coming to seek for opportunity. However, it will be a very different experience when you involve in the cultures of these two countries. One fundamental principle that you need to bear in mind is that: American and Chinese cultures are polar opposites. The film named Rush Hour (1998) is one striking example that reflects different practices, point of view, thoughts, and ways of communication. Also,

No nation has rose and fell from power without the assistance and intervention of other nations. The United States would not be what it is today without the aid of France and Prussia.

If the 2016 U.S. presidential election has taught the world anything, it is that where the United States is concerned, so is the rest of the world. The U.S. has been, and continues be, seen as one of the most powerful countries in the entire world. Henceforth, a highly controversial discussion for debate would be over whether, when regarding American Imperialism, if it is positive or negative. When looking at it from an international standpoint, the era may not have been considered “humane”, so

The compatibility between democracy and Confucianism has long been a controversial topic since the first introduction of this idea from the west to China in the late nineteenth century. In my opinion, the definitions applied on democracy give great variation upon the results of the discussion of the controversy. According to Oxford Dictionary, exclusive means ‘excluding or not admitting other things’. As for democracy, I would like to define it as ‘a mode of decision making about collectively binding

Statement of the Thesis Cosmopolitanism explores what democracy is and how it can be applied in local, national and the global level. Realism on the other hand is a school of International Relations theory based on the concepts of anarchy and power politics.

In the polanyian tradition, for example, the ‘counter to’ relates with necessary uprising changes against the self- regulating markets.
