Pro-American Foreign Policy
I agree with you on the first paragraph. She's intelligent and informed but not necessarily a good person.

That said, I don't think she's against the people who suffer the consequences either. She's obviously not as hawkish as Nixon, Kissinger, or Dulles. Her foreign policy is a more moderate version of Kissinger's. Now, I believe every candidate from Sanders to Trump wanted a pro-American foreign policy. I want a pro-American foreign policy. Where candidates differ is what exactly they mean by pro-American and to what extent they're willing to protect interests abroad.

The US should be held accountable for its actions, but as you said, this is difficult since it's always the largest player in the room. This isn't just because of its military.

    George W Bush Segment 8 Summary

    But, from what I’ve seen of her, I can’t say I like her much as a person. Segment 10 talks about how well coached she is in body language, to me this is clear in the fact that her smile feels forced and conscious, and her facial management techniques seem obvious. Her general paralanguage patterns don’t sound natural, but rather curated. In her defense, it’s possible that this is as a result of Having to speak a certain way, as to not repel male voters. As mentioned in Segment 23, female politicians have the extra hurdle of addressing the sound of what they say along with what they’re vocally saying. All of these things combined give off a feeling of overly calculated, and at times even dishonest. This is in such a deep contrast to Senator Clinton’s husband, who is show in Segment 12 to be able to publicly execute nonverbal messages very well. It would seem as though he has also been coached on how to convey these message, but the fact that Bill Clinton is better at it; can make him feel like a more honest person. This is, in a way, backed up by Segment 14 and 26. He really isn’t good at nonverbal lying, this leads me to feel that he is being genuine most other…

    9/11 Foreign Policy

    It is common today that the United States foreign policy has been inspiring to a lot of nations worldwide. It is argued by a lot of political scholars that the 9/11 terrorist attack actually shaped the United States foreign policy. Even though it is debatable to if the 9/11 attack did shape the United States foreign policy and how it did that can be discovered at the end of this essay.

    Anti-Americanism: Attitudes Toward America's Foreign Relations

    Anti-Americanism is a feeling of hatred toward America, its culture and its people. It is caused by several things. However, contrary to popular belief, Anti-Americanism has nothing to do with America’s foreign relations. It is, however, caused by resentment against America. People from outside countries start to think and believe that Americans are not professionals. They also begin to believe that Americans are too materialistic and spiritual. They think this only because we are different from them. This is why they resent us; they are not envious of us. Also, the main purpose of language is not to convey thoughts, but to conceal them. Anti-Americanism causes us to be called “Great Satan”, primarily because we are tempting. We are also considered…

    Foreign Politics: The Progressive Era

    The Progressive Era also belongs to the age of American imperialism, where the US gained control of many oversea territories and interfered heavily with foreign politics. Progressive presidents employed three different ways to handle foreign politics: Roosevelt employed the aggressive “big stick” diplomacy foreign policy; Taft focused on economic growth with “dollar diplomacy”; while Wilson followed the Monroe Doctrine and intervened in Latin America with “moral diplomacy”.…

    Pro War in Iraq

    I do not subscribe to the fashionable notion of moral equivalence between all deeply-held beliefs. I believe in the rights of the individual over the collective. I believe democracy is better than dictatorship, both morally and practically. Not necessarily democracy as we or the Americans or the French practice it, but the idea that in every possible practical way, you should let people make their own decisions, and if these decisions need to be circumscribed in any way, then you should only do it with the explicit approval of a majority of the people in question. And above all that a people must be able to change governments and leaders without resorting to force.…

    Thirteen years after the Declaration of Independence, our first president, George Washington, was elected.

    Ann Richards Biography

    Richards, like few strong politicians stepped out of her comfort zone, she spoke the truth, no matter how aggressive she seemed, or what the outcome would lead to. In “Straight from the Heart”; a book written by Richards, she says “giving a good speech, especially one with some passion and emotion, you’re revealing a lot about yourself” (Richards 1). In her speech, Richards states, “We're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth. Not most days - but every day. Leaders who don't forget what they don't want to remember” (Richards). Ann Richards believes that the eight years President Bush was president, was a waste to America because “George Bush hasn't displayed the slightest interest in anything we care about” (Richards). Richards’s speech was not an ideal speech given by a political individual, but she used her sense of humor, and her industrious way of words to convey a point she believed in. Women with this much integrity and faith in change is what essentially helps evolution occur. It is because Ann Richards had so many believes in the goodness of the world, that she didn’t allow her fear get in the way of what she believed and knew what was right. This is what makes Ann Richards a legend, knowing that…

    The Word On College, By Jeannette March

    When she tells the audience her grandmother was born just three years after women won the right to vote and that she herself was born only because Roe v. Wade was not yet decided (para. 2), she reminds readers that women have only recently earned the right to equality and the ability to make choices regarding their own bodies. Several times she suggests that a female president is what all generations of women have dreamed of and it is the next step to “laying dynamite on centuries of white patriarchy” (para. 8). By bringing up feminist ideas such as these, she evokes emotion in the audience and makes it seem as if a woman is the only hope to continue making change. From there she builds on the feeling of American pride and patriotism to give the idea that it would be great not just for women but America in…

    Pearl Harbor Argumentative Essay

    So, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, in 1941, the United States reactions was justified for violent reaction, because of the attack by the Japanese. However, the people from Japan, may claim valid reason to attack, because of "Right Intention," but the United States action of dropping two separate nuclear weapons on two different cities, was an unjust war and extremely evil (Mattison). So, USA was justified in defending their island, but became unjust after the first nuclear attack, because it became responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of women, children, and men. Destroying Hospitals, Churches, and Historical sites, which is illegal under international law or the Geneva Code of Conventions, but this happened before the United…

    Sarah Palin played a quite a controversial role in American politics. The side can easily be argued both ways, yet the positive affect she had is what lingers on to me after reading about her many roles. Although many will argue that Sarah Palin was a “clown” or had high “celebrity momentum” (Peggy Dexler), I think she was very intelligent and played a tremendous role in women being involved in American politics.…

    American Isolationism

    The early 1900s was a time of hardship for America. World War One had devastated the globe and caused mass damage to both the physical and emotional well being of many countries. Although no battles had been fought on American soil, citizens of the U.S still felt the after effects of such a massive war. Many families had lost brothers and fathers while many more had poured all of their finances into the war effort. America felt tricked into World War One, and many people were not anxious to go through something like that again. The War left our economy in chaos, causing the Great Depression. A majority of americans felt that America should focus on itself, ignoring the world around it. The U.S sought to avoid future conflict and political…

    Pro Imperialism

    First of all, history is survival of the fittest. Basically history of mankind is of stronger people subduing weaker people. We must annex territory otherwise it is in jeopardy of Spanish colonial rule. If we do not annex foreign land someone else will. Cuba is our neighbor. It is a stone’s throw away from the State of Florida. Is it right to ignore the plight of the people of Cuba? They have been fighting for their freedom and independence almost continuously since 1878. The Spanish Empire has committed many unspeakable acts on this island since the fighting began. The Spanish Empire is mistreating our neighbors in Cuba. It is well within our Monroe Doctrine tradition to ask that Spain give up the control of Cuba so that the United States would maintain the proper sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere. Cuban refugees in South Florida can tell us firsthand how terrible it is to live under the yoke of Spanish rule. We, Americans, must help the Cubans so that they can enjoy their freedom. I prefer that America be their protector instead of a ruthless European nation. Besides, having an oversea territory or two will expand our markets. Almost every European power has an oversea colony or two for their economic benefits. Why can’t the United States have one, too? I am not worried about being called ‘hypocrites.’ The point is that America should not let opportunities slip away when she has a chance to own a territory overseas. When we possess those territories, American goods can be sold there. It’s a win-win situation for all involved. Hawaii and the United States entered into a friendly treaty back in 1875. The agreement was that we buy their sugar without tariff. In exchange, we would have the right to Pearl Harbor. This agreement worked well for both of us. But since 1875, the government leadership in the Hawaiian Kingdom changed. The new queen was not friendly toward the interests of the United States, and it was deemed…
