The Gulf War and the Concept of “Just War”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the origins and outcomes of the Persian Gulf conflict. This report also considers the context of what historians and social theorists call a “just war” or the “just war doctrine” and how it was viewed in terms of modern understanding of what is and is not just war. It can be argued that it was a battle over natural resources (oil) and it can be argued that it was an essential action taken to protect a small nation from an aggressor. The question of whether or not the Gulf War was a just war has to be asked because it is emblematic of the ways in which modern humanity views its rights and obligations in the world.

The Rise of Arab Nationalism and the Balfour Declaration
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page essay tracing the evolution of two of the Arab states, Syria and Iraq, from the period just before World War I through the end of World War II when Syria finally regained full independence from France, the Allied nation appointed by the League of Nations to oversee and assist the developing countries of the mideast in recovering from the First World War. France's rule of Syria was oppressive, and did more to bolster the Syrians' commitment to Arab nationalism than to win them over the France's influence. Though Britain returned rule and full independence to the Arab states of Transjordan and Iraq as quickly as possible, only the prodding of the other Allied forces of World War II and the fall of France convinced France to withdraw from Syria.

Philosophies of Government in US and World Affairs Since World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the revisionist, realist and liberalist relations with the Soviet Union and NATO, primary players in world politics since the end of World War II. US involvement with them has fallen into clear schools of thought, taking several approaches. Those of revisionism, realism and liberalism are discussed here. Liberalism has been the rule concerning NATO, and even ultimate focus of US relations with the former Soviet Union was that of liberalism. Though necessarily realist in assessing conditions as they existed, the US did not act from that perspective at all when Mikhail Gorbechev presented avenues by which those relations could take on a more liberalist slant. All of these schools have been used over the decades, but it is liberalism to which we consistently seem to gravitate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Analysis of Elaine Tyler May's "Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which analyzes Elaine Tyler May's 1988 book "Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era," which asserts that after World War II, Americans preferred marrying young, perpetuating traditional gender roles and a secure home life, because of the unsettling experiences of the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War. Specifically assessed are the relative causal influences of these historical events to determine which factor was the most responsible for the desire of Cold War America to achieve security through marriage, tradition and home.
