Recommended: The importance of national security

Lykke advocates a 3-Legged stool approach to determine whether a national strategy has balance. The three legs of the stool are objectives, concepts, and resources. These three legs support a seat, on which our national strategy rests. If the legs are equal, our national security strategy balances comfortably on the stool; however, our national strategy slides off if the legs are unequal. Lykke describes the degree to which the stool leans as “risk” that potentially undermines our nation’s security. President Reagan’s remarks at the 750th Anniversary of Berlin ceremony provide an ideal model for a balanced national security strategy that mitigates risk through decisive application of instruments of power. Presidents Reagan’s 1987 address

  • Summary Of Biderbiks Don T Cry

    272 Words  | 1 Pages

    Out of all the short stories we read, “Biderbiks Don’t Cry” has to be my least favorite because of the unlikable character Avi develops. In this story, Charlie is a boy who gets beat up by a bunch of teenage boys while coming home from a dance held at a nearby church. Instead of defending himself, he just laid on the ground. When Charlie explains what happened to his dad, he gets disappointed and annoyed because his son didn’t fight back. By rolling up his newspaper, and “slap[ping] the palm of his hand twice,” you can tell Mr. Biderbik was mad. Obviously, his mom spoils him with too much love, which causes him to cry to his mother a lot throughout this story. Because he cries too much, I did not enjoy this story. While Charlie is explaining

  • The Struggle in Chaim Potok's My Name is Asher Lev

    2200 Words  | 5 Pages

    "If you were a genius in mathematics, I would understand. If you were a genius in writing, I would also understand. If you were a genius in Gemorra, I would certainly understand. But a genius in drawing is foolishness, and I will not let it interfere with our lives. Do you understand me, Asher?" (Potok 136). The struggle begins for young Asher Lev, a talented artist who tries to convince his father and the rest of his family of his artistic ability, when his father refuses to recognize his talent. Set in a tightly knitted Jewish community in Brooklyn, Chaim Potok successfully depicted a young boy torn between his orthodox Jewish tradition and his passion for art in his best seller My Name is Asher Lev. Asher Lev knew from a young age that he was destined to draw. Unfortunately, his friends and family simply discarded his gift as foolishness or mere childishness. His struggles were so great that he became a virtual outcast. The cost of being an artist was so immense as to affect the life of Asher Lev in profound ways.

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    As we move steadfast into the twenty-first century we are confronted with more complex and compromising issues affecting the intricately connected global system. New forms of aggression and threat are the faces that greet policy-makers as they spend countless hours configuring ways to counter future attacks such as terrorism or massive drug trafficking within and across national borders. Instead of submitting ourselves to the tyranny of chance, which cruelly deals out futures blighted with catastrophes that can remain vivid in our memories, President George W. Bush has issued a mandate in an attempt to regain control over future acts of aggression such as terrorism in the United State; he issued the Executive Order of Homeland Security as that initial step.

  • Analysis of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    1724 Words  | 4 Pages

    Huck Finn learns from the actions of people around him, what kind of a person he is going to be. He is both part of the society and an outlier of society, and as such he is given the opportunity to make his own decisions about what is right and what is wrong. There are two main groups of characters that help Huck on his journey to moral maturation. The first group consists of Widow Douglas, Miss Watson, and the judge. They portray society and strict adherence to rules laid out by authority. The second group consists of Pap, the King, and the Duke. They represent outliers of society who have chosen to alienate themselves from civilized life and follow no rules. While these characters all extremely important in Huck’s moral development, perhaps the most significant character is Jim, who is both a fatherly figure to Huck as well as his parallel as far as limited power and desire to escape. Even though by the end of the novel, Huck still does not want to be a part of society, he has made a many choices for himself concerning morality. Because Huck is allowed to live a civilized life with the Widow Douglas, he is not alienated like his father, who effectively hates civilization because he cannot be a part of it. He is not treated like a total outsider and does not feel ignorant or left behind. On the other hand, because he does not start out being a true member of the society, he is able to think for himself and dismiss the rules authority figures say are correct. By the end of the novel, Huck is no longer a slave to the rules of authority, nor is he an ignorant outsider who looks out only for himself. This shows Huck’s moral and psychological development, rendering the description of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” as a picaresq...

  • The Pros And Cons Of Defense Reform

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    In addition to strategic deployment, the defense budget should be reformed to allocate more money towards specialized, agile units and counterterrorism efforts. By doing so, the United States would be more efficient in fighting the small terrorist groups that pose such a large threat today. In his article supporting defense reform, Berger points out, “many analysts have pointed out in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks, future threats to the United States are likely to come from relatively small terrorist organizations and not from state entities which could not realistically defeat us.” The most prevalent danger regarding military within the continental U.S. is not an invasion by another nation, but rather unexpected acts of terror.

  • Military Spending Pros And Cons

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    Should the government decrease military spending or should it increase military spending? This is a question that many Americans wrestle with, and politically speaking, is a point of great contention since to many, military might evokes a sense of security. However, when considering this question from a foreign policy standpoint, does current military spending really match the current level of threats faced by the United States, or are too many dollars being allocated for an unnecessary level of military strength? There are certainly cons in making the decision to drastically lower military spending, but they are minimal when compared to the positive ramifications such a decision would have. This paper aims to explore these pros and cons

  • Huck Finn Laughter Analysis

    1124 Words  | 3 Pages

    A common goal for many works of literature is to achieve “thoughtful laughter,” in which the first response to a situation is laughter, but it makes the reader later think about its meaning and application in real life. One such work is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, a brilliant work of American literature that is noted for its commentary on Southern Antebellum society. Twain’s humor in Huckleberry Finn is satirical in order to convey his thoughts on how cruel, self-absorbed, and hypocritical people in Southern society were. Tom Sawyer, the privileged and imaginative friend of Huck Finn, serves as a primary example of Twain’s “thoughtful laughter.” Tom’s mischievous yet subtly cruel personality and frequent escapades allow
