Changing The Course Of Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. To understand the nature of terrorism in contemporary global society is to realize how the United States – fending complete innocence where the perpetuation of terrorism is concerned – has long played an integral role in its existence, whether American officials ever come to admitting such historical involvement or not. With so many examples from which to choose throughout the two hundred and thirty years America has been a global player, it is difficult to find just one that illustrates the most important role the nation has played in spreading terrorism; however, the dubious dropping of nuclear bombs upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki brings forth one of the best standards by which to compare. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Contentious Tactics: Examples And Impact
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Call it persuasion, coercion or manipulation, but contentious tactics are a necessary evil where the Army is concerned. The extent to which one party must "impose its preferred solution" (Pruitt et al, 2003, p. 63) on the other in order to maintain control is both grand and far-reaching; that contentious tactics reflect some of the most effective ways in which to achieve this objective speaks to myriad maneuvers designed with just that in mind. Some contentious tactics, Pruitt et al (2003) note, are less intimidating than others (promises as compared to violence) and are best utilized accordingly and in the appropriate situations for which they were devised.
