Abstract
The paper discusses how US intelligence gathering underwent a reformation after the end of World War II. Nuclear weapons were available to the U.S. and later the Soviet Union and it was clear communist nations such as North Korea desired world dominance. The paper shows how this led to the need for a more accurate intelligence force in the United States. The paper also shows how technological advances, such as the US spy plane, global satellites, and other intelligence gear enabled the United States to become one of the premier intelligence gathering nations in the world.
From the Paper
"The modern intelligence gathering agencies as we know them today have their roots at the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. In 1947, President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act, which "established the National Security Council to advise the president on foreign affairs and defense policy; created the Central Intelligence Agency to gather and analyze foreign intelligence and conduct covert operations; and created a Department of Defense to coordinate the activities of the branches of the US armed forces." In 1952, he created the National Security Agency, which was supposed to engage solely in cryptology, which would seem to separate the agencies even more."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the transformations that occurred in the intelligence field after the Second World War and during the Cold War brought up what can be called an intelligence revolution because of the nature of these transformations. The writer points out that the United States experienced a rapid growth in military technique, but there was also an unprecedented international willingness to share intelligence. Considering these changes, the impact of the intelligence revolution on the evolution of the United States was considerable. The writer maintains that the technological developments in the intelligence field during the Cold War caused an intelligence revolution in the US which made it possible for the United States to have a great advantage over its enemies. The writer concludes that the supremacy of US intelligence has not been questioned until 2001, after the terrorist attacks. More and more voices now call for another intelligence revolution that would adapt the U.S. to the new circumstances.
From the Paper
"Before the Second World War the American intelligence was at a very low level, at least comparing to what followed. There was little valuable intelligence information related to the Soviet Union, Germany or Japan which was taken directly from the source, through field agents. American intelligence was mostly directed against internal threats represented by communist supporters and later, Nazi agents. However, this was the period when the transformations in the intelligence field began. US agents were making strides in code breaking and the organization of intelligence services began to function a little more complex.
"The message encoding represented the first step towards a more elaborate intelligence. This was most noticeable after the Pearl Harbour attacks and was focused especially on the Japanese. US efforts for cracking Japanese military messages intensified after the attacks and the leader in this effort was the Combat Intelligence Unit belonging to the US Navy. Due to the technical evolution, the US military was able to crack the Japanese code and intercept thousands of messages during the World War II."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the U.S. intelligence community has always been an interesting topic among those interested in politics and how it relates to terrorism. This has been particularly the case since the 9/11 attacks. The writer discusses that while the government refuses to relax its stranglehold upon citizens and non-citizens alike, opponents have been increasingly critical of the lack of focus and general incompetence of the U.S. community. The writer then assertst that,
whichever one's view, the most important fact in developing this view is to regard the issue without an excess of emotion, and with critical attention. The writer concludes that the United States of America has the resources and the power to reinvent itself and to be better for each citizen than it has ever been before. In order to do this, official agencies should start to think in a broader sense again.
From the Paper
"The Intelligence Community has handled the terrorism issue in such a way that, rather than protect the country, it is slowly suffocating its citizens from the inside. Rather than targeting real problem areas, citizens are being harassed while they are told it is for their own good. The worst is that some citizens believe this and even actively endorse the Intelligence Community in its efforts to completely eradicate freedom and the right to privacy. Indeed, intelligence efforts are spinning out of control, as officials find themselves above the law, and licensed to whatever they wish in the name of the war on terrorism. Freedom, democracy, and basic human rights are completely forgotten."
"Other questionable practices perpetrated by the Intelligence Community and particularly by the CIA, is lobbying. Indeed, it uses its connections with certain groups in order to gain public favor for the agency and for issues it wishes to advocate."

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

Abstract
In this paper the writer discusses the scrutiny executed by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Investigation, U.S. military intelligence and the Postmaster General's Office, as well as the actions of the British colonial power in Jamaica, all in hopes of suppressing Garvey's "radicalism."
From the Paper
"Late in the spring of 1918, Marcus Garvey, a 28-year-old aspiring journalist and self-appointed ?race leader,? came to the attention of federal authorities as he preached black redemption on a Harlem street corner. During the evenings, Garvey gave sidewalk speeches on Lennox Avenue between 134th and 137th streets (Hill 1983, 1:281), a favorite gathering place for blacks in Harlem. That northern section of Manhattan was rapidly becoming black America?s cultural center, with the inauguration of the so-called ?Harlem Renaissance? (Clarke 1974, 181.) A Jamaican immigrant who arrived in New York two years earlier, Garvey preached vigorously to rapt curbside audiences of pride in the black race, of economic justice and of racial equality."

Abstract
This paper examines the issues which can lead to a revolution, and illustrates how these issues were prevalent in France prior to the outbreak of the revolution. The paper outlines the social, economic and political problems in France in the years preceding the revolution. The writer also explains that through all the horror and bloodshed, there were also positive and far-reaching effects of the revolution for France as well as for Europe. The French Revolution brought about great long term changes in the society and government.
From the Paper
"The French Revolution is known as one of the bloodiest revolutions in all of history, it claimed the lives of thousands of Frenchmen. The question that remains to be answered is, what was the cause for all this carnage?? It was during the years of 1789-1795 that turmoil arose and an outcry came from France, and in place of one of the oldest civilizations stood a new one filled with uncertainty, and the need to reform and build what remained of France. To reflect upon the reasons as to why such a revolution occurred, one must focus upon the main aspects troubling the country and it?s people at this time."

Abstract
This essay traces the sociological attitudes of the American colonists throughout the pre-revolutionary period, as well as the American Revolution itself. Included are the reactions to British injustices such as the stamp act, sugar act, and quartering act, as well as more general trends in the thinking of the colonists. The paper also examines the way the colonists used John Locke's ideas to justify their actions. In addition, it traces how some colonial newspapers looked at the crisis, and the influence they had. This paper is a comprehensive examination of the emotions and attitudes of the colonists that led to and spurred on the American revolution.
From the Paper
"The protection of private property was considered imperative by Locke, and he reasoned that tyranny originated from government invading the natural rights of man. Despite the fact that these views were originally established in a time period well before the revolutionary period was at hand, the colonists applied them very effectively to their own situation. A number of Locke?s other beliefs and ideologies were bought into by the colonists. His doctrine of the supreme power of legislature, by which he meant to suggest that the British Parliament would have power over the crown, was used by the colonists to justify the idea of implementing Colonial legislatures that would have powers over the crown."

Abstract
This paper describes and defines the contemporary social change of globalization, particularly as it relates to the United States. Next, the paper discusses the historical background of U.S.'s industrial revolution. The paper them compares and contrasts these two social phenomena, including their impact on human and civil rights, the economy and the U.S.'s international position.
From the Paper
"Globalization is a term that came into popular usage in the mid 1980's. It was used to describe the increased movement of people, knowledge and ideas, and goods and money across national borders that has led to increased interconnectedness among the world's populations, economically, politically, socially and culturally. Globalization is characterized commonly in economic terms such as the colloquially phrased "global marketplace." This process has many social and political implications as well. Social scientists often associate cultural modernization with globalization, that is, crossing borders and mixing one culture with another to create a new cultural phenomenon. At the global level, the paradigm of globalization is characterized through the quagmires it poses to the role of governments in international affairs and the global economy."

From the Paper
"Texas has added many economic, political and strategic advantages to the United States. But Texas was not acquired by the simple task of colonization and claim; Texas was fought for and won from the Spanish Empire by the people of these United States. They did not enter this conflict without reason or resolution; they entered this battle for independence and eventual statehood for many political and social reasons. First, the already great abundance of United States immigrants in the Spanish State of Texas, or Tejas, at the time of the revolution aided in the approval in action by the U.S. Secondly, the comparisons of the citizens of Texas predicament to the United States? own revolution also aided in the agreement on U.S. initiative. Finally, the American dislike of the Spanish Empire and its wish to dissolve its influence in North America aided as well in American entrance into the affairs of the Texas Revolution."

Abstract
This paper examines Searle's original argument against the possibility of strong Artificial Intelligence, or what he calls intrinsically intelligent AI. This argument was presented in "Minds, Brains, and Programs" which contains his original formulation of the Chinese Room example and many others. This paper explains Searle's original view (which has been slightly modified in recent years) against the possibility of strong AI. It then examines the serious shortcomings in his argument, namely his flagrant assumption that intelligence is a bio-chemical property, something that he barely mentions in his text. Holfstadter later called this view "bio-chauvinist." The writer examines what it is Searle is trying to say, where his bio-chauvinism comes into play, and what the end result is.
From the Paper
"In his paper "Minds, Brains, and Programs," John R. Searle attempts to establish the impossibility of strong artificial intelligence (AI), that an "appropriately programmed computer" can have genuine mental states. The validity of strong AI implies a direct correspondence between mental states and formal processes, and as such, insists that a properly defined program is sufficient for producing understanding and intentionality in the thing instantiating that program. Searle refutes this claim, arguing that a program could not be sufficient for producing intentionality because for any program it is possible to instantiate it in something without producing mental states in the thing. In elucidating this central point, Searle derives a distinction between "intrinsic" intentionality and "derived" intentionality. He defines intrinsic intentionality as the sort present in things that clearly have mental states, such as people. Searle distinguishes this from derived intentionality, which he claims is ascribed by those with intrinsic intentionality to things that "perform the sort of functions that we perform on the basis of our intentionality," but that do not actually possess mental states or a genuine intentionality. With this distinction, Searle's claim that programs are not sufficient, or even necessary, for producing intentionality becomes a claim that mere things - namely computers for our purposes - can only have derived intentionality and never can possess intrinsic intentionality. Searle's argument, pushed by his example of the Chinese room, at first seems to raise an alarming challenge to AI proponents, but on closer examination it becomes clear that the thrust of Searle's claim relies on some highly debatable intuitions and assumptions he makes a priori. In this paper I will argue that Searle's conclusion is entirely dependent these contestable assumptions and intuitions. I will then attempt to construct what Searle's response to this objection would likely be, and I will conclude by discussing the significance of this debate with regards to AI and all of cognitive science."

From the Paper
"Until the late 1970s, few Americans knew or cared much about Iran. Then, with the fall of the Shah's regime, the rise of the Khomeini revolution, and the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, Iran became a central preoccupation of the American public and of U.S. political life.
The chief source of news and opinion on Iran for most Americans throughout this period was the mainstream press. In principle the press was independent of both government policy and popular opinion, and broadly objective. In fact, however, the mainstream press shared the ignorance and the ideological blinders of the government it was supposed to be independent of, and of the public it was supposed to inform.
This study makes a qualitative comparative analysis of official positions on Iran through this period, as drawn from the..."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with United States intervention in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). The issue will be addressed from the perspective of the Mexican people. It may be noted that relations between Mexico and the United States had been strained since the time of the 1846-1848 war between the two nations. In that war, American troops staged armed assaults against Mexican cities. In this way, the United States was able to seize vast territories on Mexico's northern borders--at the cost of thousands of Mexican lives. It is evident that America's hostility toward Mexico at that time was driven by economic motives. In fact, the Mexican War started because of the greed of the American people for annexing the Mexican state that they called Texas. This capitalistic grab for Mexican land was made all the more insulting one year after the war, when gold was..."
