    "As the 1900's gave way to the new millennium, it became increasingly clear that a new era in American (and world) history had begun. The old era had been dominated by the Cold War struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The new era was defined by the rise of a new global economy...the ways in which the world's peoples lived, worked, and governed themselves. Global communication, trade, and capital flow all grew rapidly..." (Griffith, Baker 531). The United States rose to being the most powerful military supremacy nation in the world due to Reagan and Bush's destruction of the Cold War, bridging the 80's into the new 90's. George Bush's CIA and ambassadorial experience provided Americas key to our foreign policy negotiations, aiding in our nations leadership over the world. This defeat and new era caused our domestic and social society within America into a state of confusion and caused Americans to question what role they would play in this new society. "Not only did the Cold War define America's stance in the world, dictating foreign policy choices from southeast Asia to Latin America; it defined the contours of domestic politics as well," (Chafe 549). How can we believe now after September 11, that we still or always have had leadership or supremacy in this world? How could the heart of our country be damaged so much affecting our nation as a whole? This recent tragedy damaged the core of our patriotism changing foreign and domestic policy after the 90's. During the 90's, a time of new cultural expression and power, the US was willing to use any economic, political, or military force necessary to uphold the new global system. After the Reagan legacy, President Bill Clinton created the "New Democrats," which, "sought to replace the party's older industrial and agricultural bases with a new, if unwieldy, coalition of women, minorities, social liberals, and technological progressives," (Griffith/Baker 533). In looking at…

    Foreign Policy

    Under current economic models, corporations are globalized, you can communicate with someone in China as if you're talking to your next door neighbor. If the US were to remain isolated from other nations, it would negatively impact trade that has become a part of our daily lives - for everything from rice to oil to silicon. Trade is what drives economies and policy. To maintain and improve quality of life, which should be the goal of any civilization, it must take into account globalization. To not follow this policy would make life as we know it extremely difficult to sustain. At the same time, necessity is the mother of invention. If we shut out ourselves from fellow civilizations, we may soon discover a new energy source; but we can look at one current example of a country that has shut out all other countries - North Korea. I don't know if the citizens are truly happy there, I assume not, from what I've heard of the people who try to escape, and not allowing your citizens basic medical needs which are available everywhere else in the world, and instead letting them suffer, seems completely inhumane.…
