U.S. Neutrality in World War One The United States remained neutral in World War One because they saw it in their best interest. At the time the war began, the U.S. industry was struggling. Staying out of the war was a way to boost the industry in America by utilizing trade with both the Ally and Central Powers. The U.S. also had no real reason to join the war. They had close ties with both sides. Some problems, however, would arise that would question the U.S. decision to remain neutral

Because of this inability to objectify art, we must conclude that art is by nature subjective and exists—at least conceptually—largely in the perception of the individual or the observer. Also important to remember from the onset is art’s inherent neutrality of value. Emanating from numerous disparate subjective definitions of art are correspondingly disparate means of artistic valuation, a fact indicating that the value of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is not inherent to a work of art. Moreover, art is by no means
symbolism of Young Goodman Brown’s moral decline bypasses the conscious, logical mind and is located in a more dreamlike process. It is interpreted to show that no one truly falls into the category of good or evil.

Gender Neutrality of Law is a Myth The status of women as empowered citizens around the world is yet to be ascertained. Guided by the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it seems as if the trend towards a just social order reflects a better tomorrow, and yet, thousands of women suffer from the brutal crimes and atrocities committed by their male counterparts.

Net Neutrality is a politically charged topic in the United States, and has been for several years now.

Since then, the membership of the FCC has changed and now the FCC is moving to rescind that ruling. Neither position has
countries with internet access: Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is a set of regulations that demand that Internet Service Providers, or ISPs for short, treat all data the same.
