International Conflict
1. International conflict among countries is more likely of what we may think. Today there are many different ongoing conflicts. International conflict is a stage of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more states (Malek). The term "international conflict" referred to conflicts between different nations and conflicts between people and organizations in different nations (Mr. Turetzky lec 11). It also applies to inter-group conflicts within one country when one group is fighting for independence or increased social, political, or economic power. International conflicts can be divided into two branches: private international conflict and public international conflict. A private international conflict is a disagreement that involves business enterprises or individuals that are from two or more different countries. An example would be a conflict between a U.S. computer company, and a Japanese company that supplies motherboards for the U.S. Company. If the Japanese company or the US Company does not fulfill the contract, it would cause a private international conflict. It would have to be handled by an international tribunal of some sort. In contrast, a public international conflict is a moral conflict that spills across borders and social movements that wish to change an existing state. An example may be the conflict between the U.S. and Cuba. The United States’ attempts to help Cuba find a political stability have formed a conflict between Cuba and the United States. To my point of vies there are two important causes for public international conflict. The first and most important one is the search for sovereignty. The conflict between Cuba and the United States, as long as many other conflicts between the US and other countries is attributed to the US desire to establish sovereignty in other countries ( Malek). I considered religion as another cause of public international conflict. A very good example of conflict on the name of religion is the

    Although all wars are conflicts, not all conflicts are wars. Conflicts don’t always have the involvement of armed hostiles, battles or even the involvement of the military. Conflicts can range from anything as little as an argument between politicians, all the up to an official war. Many people believe since World War 2 there have been less conflicts; however there has simply been less conflicts between nations and more within nations. One of the biggest reasons for this is that 90% of countries are made up of different ethnic groups and cultural groups. Some people do not like different types of people in their country which leads to conflict.…

    Throughout the novel A Separate Peace, John Knowles depicts a character-versus-self conflict through Gene Forrester’s, the protagonist, progressively worsening insecurities and a major epiphany. During his time at the Devon Boarding School, Gene shares a dormitory with his best friend Phineas, Finny. However, Gene’s jealousy of Finny’s natural athletic ability and leadership qualities causes him to create an internal conflict due to his low self esteem. His covetousness of Finny flourishes to the point that he must rationalize why he begrudges Finny to the extent he does; he reasons that the rivalry he concocts is mutual. Gene continues with this mindset that Finny is equally envious of his own intelligence until the evening when Leper states…

    A Separate Peace Conflict

    • 1769 Words
    • 8 Pages

    A Separate Peace, written by John Knowles, is a seemingly simple yet heartbreaking story that gives the reader an inside look and analysis of the reality of human nature. Set permanently in the main character Gene’s point of view, the audience is first taken to the present of a reflective and, now, wise man (Gene) and then plunged into his past back in 1942 to relive the harsh lessons that youth brought him. Along with vivid imagery of the tranquil days of the past, a view into the social construct of a boy’s private school, Devon, and the looming presence of World War 2 on the horizon, there is also a significant power struggle that the reader can observe almost instantly. Conquering the need to be supreme in the situations of the war, high…

    In recent history, an international community has proved to be anything but international, nor a community. Internationalism is the prime cause of conflict, as it has caused localized issues to be expanded into worldwide wars, therefore it should only be pursued to the extent of regional communication. Key examples are both world wars, as well as current day conflicts and human rights infringements in Middle Eastern countries. World War 1 was not initially a worldwide war, but a conflict between two neighbouring countries with numerous allies. By extension, World War 2 was started due to failures of internationalism at the end of the first world war, which then resulted in one of, if not the, largest genocide in recent history. Furthermore,…

    War and Genocide

    In the first seven chapters, Bergen clears up fundamental misconceptions by taking a closer, more systematic look into the Holocaust. By using an extensive compilation of both primary and secondary resources, she does a thorough job educating readers with the indispensable, factual events in chronological order. Bergen spends a substantial amount of time discussing Hitler’s upbringing and clears up common misconceptions in regards to his rise to power. In addition, she feels it is of equal importance to explore the underlying elements which caused this atrocity. Therefore, the Holocaust is presented as more than just a complex and tragic event in world history, but rather as a four-step process which stemmed from Germany’s pre-existing ideology of “Race and Space.”…

    Low Intensity Conflict

    The United States have a long history of intervening in other country’s affairs. Among those countries are the people of the Central American population. The United States faced a huge threat during the 1980s. The Soviet Union was trying to install communism in Central America. The foreign policy at the time was to stop the penetration of communism in Central America. At the time, President Jimmy Carter was accused of “failing to adequately defend the government of U.S. allies against internal opposition movements and armed insurgencies” (Holden 289). With the president being accused of this matter, this opened the door for the Reagan administration to set up the United States and Latin America policies to work in their favor during the…

    Iraq War

    • 1764 Words

    When the allied troops returned home after WWII with the enemy vanquished and liberty on the rise, the United States of America entered into its most prolific and expansive years in history and suddenly found themselves at the head of the world table. Times of trouble were resolved with us on the frontlines doing whatever was necessary. Its identity as the land of liberty, the beacon of hope, was established long before but hadn’t been exemplified. People read about the glorious days of the Revolution when the common man united to overthrow tyranny and bring freedom to the world in the face of oppression, but those stories were starting to seem a bit dated. When we demonstrated the power of the American will, and fought a two-front war with international super powers to stop the onslaught of fascism and communism we showed the world the true power of a government by the people and for the people. Though logical, it’s unfortunate for us that such a tremendous high point had to be followed by an equal low. That respect that our fathers and grandfathers earned us throughout their hard-working lives has all but dried up. For the past eight years the conduct of the United States Government has been laughable to the outside world and downright frightful for those of us within. “In the view of much of the world, the United States has played the role of bully in the school yard, throwing its weight around with little regard for others' interests.”(Global Public Opinion) We have been trying to expand our role as the global police force; all while loosing money funding our own troops as well as the insurgents we’re fighting. We’re making enemies and losing friends at an astonishingly uneven rate. We stripped the credibility of the United Nations with the invasion of Iraq and exposed our own incompetence with the occupation. We’ve ignored decades of research on climate…

    Cba: World Conflicts

    The conflict in Iraq is considered by many people to be an unimportant one. But from researching this topic for the past few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that this was a very serious conflict. When Iraq was ruled by the brutal tyrant, Saddam Hussein, they instantly became one of the most violent countries in the world. In twenty years, Saddam led the Iraqi military to two wars. One war was against Iran that lasted from 1980-1988 and was considered to be one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the Middle East. The second one was the Gulf War of 1991 against Kuwait. Both of these wars were results of Saddam sending Iraqi soldiers into these two countries and demanding a piece of territorial land. The conflict in Iraq was a cause of Saddam Hussein forcing the country into multiple wars and ordering the killing of nearly a million Shi’i Muslims in Iraq.…
