After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a fierce war, one without fighting, however. Called the Cold War, this war was fought on the political stage instead of the battlefield. The United States and the Soviet Union never actually went to war; in fact, they were actually allies against Germany during World War II. However, after the war ended, the Soviet Union and the United States became bitter enemies again, much like they were before the war. This "cold war," as it was called, lasted until the 1990's when the Soviet Union finally fell. ...

Issue of Gun Control and Violence The issue of gun control and violence, both in Canada and the United States, is one that simply will not go away.

In 1977, legislation was passed by the Canadian Parliament regulating long guns for the first time, restructuring the availability of firearms, and increasing a variety of penalties . Canadian firearms law is primarily federal, and "therfore n...

Introduction We all know that computers are the most useful and convenient tool in this age. The computer, together with the "all-powerful" Internet provides us with almost everything we could ever want; material things, information, even potential life partners (online dating); thus resulting in the formation of new words such as cyber-space or online connectivity. Cyber-space is defined as a bio-electronic ecosystem that exists anywhere there are phones, coaxial cables, fiber optic lines, or electromagnetic waves (Dyson 1994).

An important topic in international politics today is if Iraq has the ability to politically succeed. Judging by their present democratic and military standing; Iraq seems to be headed in the wrong direction.

Although a political transformation to a westernized style of democracy may never be fully accomplishable because of the differing culture and social norms, Iraqi citizens still must strive for their government to conquer the...

Background and During the Cooling of Relations The Second World War drastically changed the political map of the world, and especially the European continent. The basic premises of the new alignment of the world developed in the final stages of the war.

Neither Britain nor France, nor even, defeated Germany could not play in the post-war period of the previous role of the guarantor of balance a...

Child Sexual Abuse It is frightening to realize how widespread sexual abuse is in our society and yet how strong the denial of it is.1 "Don't waste your time talking about what an aberration it is and how unlikely it is " just get to the place where you understand that one of the things humans do is have sexual contact with children,"" says [Gavin] de Becker, author of Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane).2 Sex with children is a crime.
