Comparing Mackinder And Mearsheimer
As mentioned before Mearsheimer was all about pursuing power but for Mackinder he believes that there is no reason to be pursuing power in order for it to be in between states. Therefore, in my opinion I believe that there really aren’t any connections in between the authors. The two authors, Du Bois and Mackinder, both had different views on international relations than what Mearsheimer had in mind. But for Mackinder and Mearsheimer they both had power in common but different views on them as one thought that it is an important thing among the states whereas the other one thought that there really isn’t any point in it.

    Compare And Contrast Cotton Mather And John Hale

    It was the late 1600’s and people of strong religion in Salem, Massachusetts were becoming oddly stricken by recent events regarding the practice of witchcraft. Through this period of time twenty people were executed due to mere assumption to have been involved in witchcraft or Devil worship. Living through these events and making accounts of them were two men by the names, Cotton Mather and John Hale. Both Cotton Mather and John Hale, influential Puritan Ministers, were supporters of the Salem Witch Trials which took place for two years between 1692 and 1693 and, had both written two very influential pieces detailing them, Mather's "Wonders of the Invisible World" and, Hale's "A Modest Inquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft". Through similar and contrasting rhetorical style and device the two proved their separate messages of the trials, Mather's being that the…

    Francis Macomber Comparison

    While one may look at Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" and Ernest Hemmingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and pass them off as basically the same, he should be reminded of the cliché "don't judge a book by its cover." Although both are short stories, each work encompasses a number of elements that are characteristically associated with either commercial or literary fiction. By evaluating the author's use of elements of fiction, such as plot, theme, and characterization, and the literary devices diction, figurative language, and detail, one can come to the conclusion that neither story is better than the other.…

    Annotated Bibliography of Contra Wight: the Errors of a Premature Writing, the Eighty Years’ Crisis, 1919-1999—Power, and Communism, Fascism and Counter-Revolution in World Politics.

    Then he moved on to Hindess’ analysis of power as a simple given quantity. He believed that power can only be achieved by the ruler of a political community if he/she is duly recognized by the citizens as their leader. This has been the central idea of modern international relations thinking. But it is still a part of the capacity-outcome view of power which Hindess is trying to ignore due to its simplicity. He enumerated the reasons why a capacity-outcome view weaken its right as an explanatory device based on Hindess. First is that power is an interaction and one in which the reciprocal action of the parties’ means that each actor’s moves conditions the action of the other, and the different means to exercise ‘power’ are seldom compatible.…

    Early 20th Century Essay

    These two writings leave the United States global perception during this age very clear. Being of European descent, obviously America’s perception is euro centrist, but at the same time it’s deeper and thoroughly into what seems to be a fascist or protofascist discernment. Considering these writings, we can conclude that for the United States its sole mission as a Christian nation is to promote democracy in the world by dominating their markets. Immigrants are seen as inferior beings within the nation and the entire world is nothing without the United States. The diplomatic tendency that we can imply according to these writings is the one of interventionism. Interventionism to promote the benefits of American companies in poor nations in order to obtain the raw materials cheaply. Pitifully, America’s foreign policy never got out of this facet and is stagnant. This policy still goes on in the Middle East and South America and it is very detrimental for developing…

    Arrogance of Power Review

    William J. Fulbright, a democratic Senator from Arkansas, was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1966 when The Arrogance of Power was published. In an excerpt from Fulbright’s book, he analyzes the misguided thinking behind America's global interventionism and its delusion of righteous all-powerfulness. These symptoms are a confusion of power and virtue. Fulbright defines the arrogance of power as, “a psychological need that nations seem to have in order to prove that they are bigger, better, or stronger than other nations” (2). William J. Fulbright uses persuasive appeals in his well structured book, The Arrogance of Power to help convey his views on U.S. war strategies.…

    Patrick Thaddeus Jackson Analysis

    From the three pieces of work all authors all had different views but explained their connection very well. It made you feel as if the question or assumption made was the correct way or the most obvious way of doing things. In reading 1 by the author Patrick Thaddeus Jackson he asked “Must international studies be a science?” I read through the piece I feel as if first you have to break down the question itself first. International means to existing, occurring, or carried on between two or more countries. In the reading it has it “involves cross- boundary encounters with difference.” International is a word that brings others together for whatever cause is at hand. Reasons it could be a study of science because it can either engage economically…

    Feminism and Constructivism: A Comparison

    In order to gain a fuller understanding of the components involved it is first necessary to provide a brief introduction to the concepts. Theories of international relations were developed through three major debates and as such, IR ideas were traditionally dominated by the perspectives of realism, idealism and behaviouralism . Criticisms leveled by critical theorists, combined with the end of the Cold War and a generational change, led to the displacement of established axes of debate by a new constructivist approach to IR literature . Rooted in sociology, constructivism is about human consciousness and the role of this feature in…
