In the essay entitled “US Military Power Should Be Restrained and Interventions Avoided”, by Harvey M. Sapolsky et al, they argue that the United States needs to stop intervening in other countries conflicts and start focusing on problems at home. Sapolsky et al, mention that, since the Cold War, United States has the same strategy to always intervene when help is a need. It just time for the Us to stop coming to aid when a country faces conflict every time. Sapolsky explains that these countries are able to fend for themselves. The more the US intervenes the more enemies we make and more danger we put US troops in.…

It’s stated in the article that one of the reasons we are a violent nation is the “decline of our ability to control events in the world” it states “it is clear that the United State cannot impose its will as it did during much of the 20th century. We live in a different world now, and this makes many of us insecure.”(May) This is true, but what it boils down to is fear, when people are afraid they usually do one of two things; fight or run, and the United States fights its fears with military force, and there are many supporters that agree with this ideology. Like Todd states in the article that Americans are very competitive; that competitive nature mixed with fear and insecurity equals the phrase “don’t let the terrorist win”. We gain a “have to get them before they get me” mentality that can’t be easily given…
In what ways can current events be similar to the ways in which the U.S. Government did/didn’t respond during WWII? It can relate to the Ukraine war going on now because, at first, we didn’t do anything because we didn’t want to start anything with Russia. So we waited awhile to help Ukraine and send them supplies/people/military. It relates to how we could no longer help China and help other countries and supply them, but we did anyway. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”.…

United States Foreign Policy has shifted from being isolationist to being interventionist due to the United States being more involved around the world then when it first started out. being more involved than when we started wasn't what our first few presidents wanted, they wanted to be isolated from all the other foreign countries. Meaning we Americans didn't want their foreign affairs to involve the new country of the United States. In the beginning of U.S. development we were isolationists due to Washington’s policy of not getting involved with any other country but our own.…

In “Nobody Left to Hate: Teaching Compassion After Columbine”, Elliot Aronson (2000) was able to easily allow readers to understand the isolation experienced by students who commit violent attacks at school campus. The author also provided understanding around how quick-fix solutions can cause deeper isolation within students who are already marginal to the school’s social structure and root-cause interventions can assist with building empathy amongst students on a school campus.…
I would like to submit a write-up titled “Ethical Practices in Behavioral Interventions” for the Nature’s ‘review and perspective’ section, in which I have tried to explain the ethical issues related to the growing practices of behavioral tools to influence people’s choice and consequent decision such as nudge and default option with a few policy implications. My intent has been to bring this important issue into the public domain that will influence the concern of policy makers who are interested in behavioral program design and policy interventions.…
Intervention, is a reality television show, produced by A&E network, that delves into the struggles faced by alcoholics. In this particular case, producers were faced with an dilemma on whether it was their responsibility to intervene when a member of their cast put themselves, as well as others, at risk of a potentially dangerous situation. After becoming heavily intoxicated, the cast member decided to get behind the wheel of her car and go for a drive; however, no one in the production crew obstructed her from operating the vehicle. Legally the television producers were not obligated to intervene, as third party injuries caused by other third parties, is not something they are responsible for; however, just because something is legal, does…
Since the United States has established 20 different government agencies in over one hundred different countries it has expanded America’s foreign policy interest. The United states uses about one percent or less on foreign policy out of the trillions of dollars America has, but people still believe that one percent is still too much to use on other countries. People fail to realize what the definition of foreign aid is and therefore say that the United States is using too much and should be fixing problems within the country. If people knew the definition of foreign aid they would understand that it helps those in poverty in other countries such as their health and deal with crisis that may have struck their country. If that was you in another country dealing with health issues and a crisis struck, you would want foreign assistance to provide supplies for you and your…
If we were to help a country that would need assistance from our military we would not be in a good position. Advanced weaponry and even the use of chemical weapons would not only make the cost of war greater, but the number of American lives lost would also be greater. With our country's debt at more than 15 trillion and increasing by more that 2.5 billion each day we can't afford the cost of war.…
I agree with you that deservingness of punishment is different than deservingness of help. I feel like everyone deserves the right to be helped if they are in need. Helping others is a charitable act and it would be wrong to deny someone help just because they are poor. Like you, I believe that healthcare should be available to anyone because we are all created equal and deserve equal opportunities. The deservingness of punishment definitely has a lot of variables that go into play when determining the type of punishment that should be given. Different crimes deserve different punishment. For example, the severity and reasoning for committing a crime play a major role in determining the punishment. I feel that anyone who commits a crime deserves…
