Each student will read and review one full article for each Article Review. Articles will be provided in the additional reading section of the course. The purpose of the assignment is to provide extra knowledge and perspective beyond what is found in the textbook. In your review, you should include two components:

1. A brief summary outlining the major points of the article you read. Be sure to include details about how the research was done, who was tested, the conceptual and measured variables, and the conclusions of the authors.

2. An analysis of how the paper relates to the topics we have discussed in class. Be sure to say what concepts from the class are related and describe the topics as they were discussed in class and/or in the book. Be sure to discuss your answer in detail.

Each of these components should account for about half of your overall paper. Be sure to discuss components each in detail and to explain your thoughts in full. Part of your grade will be determined by the completeness with which you answer each question, and support your answers.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on The Concept of Self Determination in International Law. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The following discussion demonstrates the validity of this observation.

Helen Quane argues that the right to self-determination implicitly validates the right of certain ethnic groups to reject territorial regimes.4 The theory purportedly protects the rights of minority groups and has the potential to create civil unrest with the result that world order is compromised. In support of her position, Jane cites several incidents of turmoil that resulted from the right of self-determination. In Kosovo and the Balkans, for example, the theory of external self-determination led to conflict and bloodshed.5 Quane argues therefore that principles of self-determination in international law should only be applicable when questions concerning the abuse of human rights arise.6

Malcolm Shaw provides a startling yet realistic possibility created by the doctrine of self-determination. Since the UN Charter recognizes the right of ethnic groups to self-determination there are myriad problems for internal conflict. Shaw points out that there are competing and diverse interest among different ethnic groups in a community and goes on to ask:

“Precisely which groups would be entitled in such situations to claim a share of the territory? The possibilities range from large indigenous groups and ethnic, religious, and language groups to cultural or political groups. How would one tackle in such circumstances the possible claims of groups within groups, such as for the sake of argument, religious groups within language groups in Canada?.

Provide a 2 pages analysis while answering the following question: God of carnage. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. number 14 May God of Carnage God of Carnage is a play written by Yasmina Reza. It is a play that is quitehard to categorize as it combines elements of comedy and tragedy and is full of philosophical implications that make audience look at human civilization at a surprising angle. In this essay I will analyze the moral portrait of each and every protagonist of the play and contemplate on the art of co-existence that this play touches upon.

There are four protagonists in the play, which are parents of the 11-year-old boys who had had a fight. Alain and Annette Reille are the parents of the boy named Ferdinand. Michel and Veronique Vallon are the parents of another boy named Bruno. They would have probably never met each other if not their kids. The thing is on November 3 Ferdinand struck Bruno in the face and knocked out two of his teeth. This was the reason why the families of Vallons and Reilles met later that day at Vallons place to settle the case in a civilized and diplomatic manner. However, step by step the conversation between parents spun out of control and they started pointless argument screaming and swearing at each other by the end of the night. Alain is a well-to-do lawyer and Annette is a housewife who is managing the wealth of their family, as she herself characterizes herself. Michel is a second-rate wholesale dealer and his wife, Veronique is currently endeavors to write a book about Darfur, a war-ridden Sudanese province, and works at a bookshop part-time. The way Michel describes his occupation makes one feel he is a loser, “its never exactly been a bonanza” (Reza 9). Alain anticipates such a characterization by asking Michel arrogantly and without scruple on how successful he is, “Money in that, is there?” (Reza 9). Alain himself is a successful lawyer but, although he behaves quite arrogantly, he is tight-lipped and modest when being asked about his profession. As to his occupation Alains reply is confined to a couple of words, “A lawyer”, which only underlines his awareness of being a well-to-do and respected man (Reza 6). However, the only thing Alain seems to care about is his job. Even Michel wife cant help telling him, “I dont understand why you dont seem to care about this”, when he doesnt take an active part in bickering about his own son with her (Reza 20). Alains wife, Annette, is a woman who easily loses her temper and the little things of life often make her depressed. When the conversation between the parents went out of control and they failed to find common ground Annettes husband said that he is not desperate about the situation at all and Annette confessed, “Well, I am”, when Alain tried to calm her down and said with a bit of surprise, “There is nothing to be desperate about”, she answered without hesitation, “Yes, theres is” (Reza 21).

Alain behaves quite arrogantly and interrupts the conversation every now and then by answering the cell phone and talking business. He manages to establish antipathy with his counterpart, Michel, who becomes quite emotional as the tension grows. Alain remains cold whatever happens and, unlike Michel, seems to control his emotions all the way down making ironic remarks from time to time, some of which are quite disgraceful.

Both Hitler and Stalin were born to peasant families. Stalin though, being a brilliant student won a scholarship to a seminary. While studying to be a priest he read many books forbidden in Russia in those days. One was Karl Marx’s ‘Das Kapital’. Stalin emerged from the Seminary, not as a priest but as a political revolutionary with a new ideology: Russian Marxism (Stalin, 1913). On the other hand Hitler was a miserable student who never completed high school. Yet he was an avid reader, gaining anti-Jewish, anti-democratic convictions through various pamphlets, and becoming a staunch follower of Nietzsche (Hitler, Encarta 1999).

Stalin was a revolutionary, Hitler was a soldier. But they were both opportunists. Russia was suffering from a decadent monarchy, a weakening agricultural market and unemployment. The Bolsheviks were on the rise, promising equality and employment to the masses. Stalin became an important part of the Bolshevik movement through dogged organization and administration work. He became Lenin’s secretary-general. Stalin took over the Bolshevik Party by manipulation and propaganda, displacing Trotsky who was considered Lenin’s natural successor (Stalin, Encarta 1999). He further eliminated his competitors in a carefully planned campaign of political terror. One by one his rivals pleaded guilty to treason and were executed. The real strength of Stalin lied in the fear he invoked among the people of Russia.

In Germany, another dictator was rising in a similar way. Hitler. In 1919 Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) party. In the year 1921 he was elected party chairman with dictatorial powers. His campaign involved hundreds of meetings and terrorization of political rivals through hired thugs. His attempt at a coup misfired and he spent 5 years in jail, but after release he rebuilt his party by exploiting a community’s natural mistrust of another. He began blaming Jews and Communists for the Depression and the lagging state of German economy, and the masses supported him enthusiastically.

Both Stalin and Hitler vowed to make their countries invincible if they came into power. To a certain extent, they succeeded. Stalin launched a massive industrialization campaign, which ended up displacing millions of peasants, but turned Russia into one of the World’s great industrial powers. Hitler worked differently though. The first thing he did when he came into power was to take everything under his control. Anti-Nazi and Jews were hauled into concentrations camps and jails by the Gestapo. Yet most Germans favored Hitler, because his giant rearmament drive provided employment, and his reiteration of German Racial Superiority made them feel secure. Thus his extermination of Jews met with indifference, if not compliance. And his desire to enforce German rule over all of Europe was not protested against.

Yet strangely they were on opposing sides during World War II. The actual conflict began when Germany annexed Poland but the encounter between Stalin and Hitler took place only after Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. Stalin, by rallying his people, and by sacrificing a giant portion of the Russian army, managed to overcome the German army. The occupation of Russia was long, bloody and casualty ridden, but Germany’s defeat broke the backbone of Hitler’s war plan. This loss and America’s entry in the war signaled the end of Hitler’s dream of a German Empire. On April 30th 1945, he committed suicide in his Berlin bunker. Stalin on the other hand, became a hero. Yet to ensure no further assault on Russian sanctity, he became overzealous, and increasingly paranoid. At the end of his years he was about to launch another reign of terror, but his sudden death (brain hemorrhage) averted further atrocities.
