    The book begins in the United States – the present-day world hyper-power. The United States’ ascent to world dominance began after its victory in World War II, which was catalyzed in large part through what the country offered – freedom, as well as a chance to start anew. Offerings such as freedom sparked an influx of immigrants, and immigrants attracted into the United States in turn built up human population and made the job market more competitive. However, as America’s power grew stronger, the country became increasingly an “empire.” Exercising its powers, America began over-using military force, threatening foreign governments, and taking global actions without international approval. These intrusive behaviors of America, however, go against history. Lessons learned from the past suggest that world super-powers could only dominate through compliance with foreign nations, such as how Achaemenid Empire ruled their people.…

    The article "Suspect Searches: Assessing Police Behavior Under the U.S. Constitution," by Gould and Mastrofski explores the police usage of unconstitutional searches. Unconstitutional searches are those that are in violation of the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment rights, along with certain case laws put forth the guidelines for legal stops, frisks, and searches. Gould and Mastrofski perform a direct observation study which concludes the frequency of unconstitutional searches. This article puts police procedure under the spotlight and investigates the factors that seemingly increase the likelihood that an officer would engage in unlawful searches. In some cases, differentiating between constitutional and unconstitutional searches can be a difficult task, while in other situations police officers may obviously infringe on citizens ' rights. Any violation of rights poses many serious implications and consequences for policing, especially when it comes to effective community oriented policing.…

    These controversies tarnished America’s image at the peak of its world power. America traditionally views the nation as a city on a hill, but foreign governments and citizens saw a Washington arrogant with power and indifferent to problems such as global warming, mass starvation in Africa, AIDs, and weapon proliferation. It was clear that the unipolar order was far from a harmony of interest, let alone a universal embrace of American…

    Plagued with the ever-present plight of war, the United States has endured many forms of this widespread and deadly affliction over the course of its relatively young life. Unceasingly analyzed in hopes of perhaps understanding the underlying and sometimes hidden causes, such wars have captivated the minds of scholars since the moment the nation's fathers tore independence from the stubborn clutch of England. Consider the great Civil War, a war that tested the United States' reputation of increasing power, of unification, of steadfastness. Often simplified and romanticized when being presented to young children, the causes of the Civil War are much more muddled and shady than any middle school teacher can make them out to be. While it is undeniable that the Mexican War accelerated the arrival of it, the Civil War was ineffable. Propelled by factors such as the Supreme Court's controversial Dred Scott decision, the popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the emergence of the Republican party, based on the fundamental opposition to slavery, the eventual explosion of tensions between the North and the South was unavoidable.…

    Before 1898 the United States had, for the most part, stayed within its continental borders, focusing on transforming itself from a weak divided nation to a more united and strong nation. The decades leading to 1898 heralded tumultuous change in American military and consumer culture, which shockingly relate to one another in more ways than one. For instance, both catalyzed the call for America to expand and move away from being a “hermit nation…living off its own fat.” In a collective voice, American Imperialists, such as, President Theodore Roosevelt and Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, declared it was time for the United States to become the great superpower it was destined to be, and as the Spanish Empire was taking its last spastic breath in Cuba before its overdue death the United States involved itself in its first overseas war.…
