Should the United States enter into military intervention in foreign countries for humanitarian reason? Why? Why not? Under what conditions should the U.S. intervene if at all?

It seems as though wherever there is a disagreement between two people‚ each of them always has a different story. Given this‚ two friends of mine fought over a bet they had made. One said the bet was for $20 while the other disagreed that they had never shaken hands to declare it. This is a prime example

Mahatma Gandhi once said‚ “Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own‚ so do nations not like to live under other nations‚ however noble and great the latter may be.” Colonialism has occurred countless times throughout history‚ and the effect it has on native cultures is greatly felt by inhabitants of those cultures.

Mental Health in East Africa I was born and raised in a city of Kigali in Rwanda. Growing up in a war torn country was awful. However‚ it gave me opportunities to move around East Africa. This allowed me to live in 3 different countries excluding the U.S.‚ to speak 5 languages and to learn a lot about different cultures in the East African region.
