thousand days to work together."

disciplined than some of his previous appearances before Congress. The annual
speeches to Congress have served as markers of Clinton's ideological migration.

Diplomacy At Work
.... interest the objectives and capabilities of the opposing nation.
Thirdly, he states that diplomacy must determine how compatible the two nations
needs are. In simpler terms, diplomacy determines whether or not two nations
can come to a compromise with the issues at hand. Finally, Morgenthau says that
diplomacy must include the proper steps to achieve a certain goal. Without one
of these components it is believed by Morgenthau that the diplomacy system would
fail; thus, not solving the problem of the two countries in its entirety.
An excellent example of diplomacy between nations is that of the
Palestinian and Israeli na .....

.... and because of this greed, they created direct policies to clear
the Indians off their lands. For example, one form of direct policy that the
whites used to rob Indians of their lands was by signing treaties. Then later

policy and claimed the lands as their property (Lowy: Lecture 11/96). There
were many indirect methods that white used to rob Indians' lands. They use
bribery, threats, and among countless other things to trick Indians into giving

Metaphors That Justify War
.... media and we begin to
question even what we see. The short footage shown by the media concerning the
beating of Rodney King was out of context. Who is responsible for the
disparity? The media. They decide what we hear and see. They manipulate to
dramatize for the dollar. Gossip, murder, rape, political espionage, treason,
drug deals, incest, wife battering, muggings, immoral behavior of all sizes
shapes and volumes seem to appeal to human interest and the Networks use it to
build their ratings while claiming they proclaim truth for all (double effect).
These people and their focus gave us the Gulf War everyday, around the .....

last thing, under the Constitution, the government could regulate trade, make

The Factors That Gave Rise To Japanese Militarism
.... many of the remnants of feudal
culture such as strong confusion beliefs that stressed support for social order
and lack of emphasis on individualist values. These values taught obedience not
to a democratic but to the emperor; so the fact that the militaristic government
of the 1930's ruled under the emperor meant that the Japanese were loyal to this
government just as they had been to the government of the 1920's. So when
Japan's militaristic government implemented programs characteristic of
totalitarian governments such as strong media control, a thought police, and
community organizations the public did little to protest. Shi .....

The Role Of Citizen Political Participation In Hong Kong And Singapore
.... Council and Executive council, and the Colonial government appointed
prominent and respected local Chinese citizens to serve on these bodies. These
councils although far from democratic did ensure that the Chinese citizenry
would at least have representatives to express their pleasure or displeasure
with the colonial administration. But these representatives lacked any real
power and served only at the pleasure of the Colonial administration. The
government of Hong Kong was administered and run by the English Foreign service
officers that flocked to Hong Kong, the last vestige of English Empire. In Hong
Kong it really was the Engli .....

Insights On De Tocqueville's Democracy In America
.... United States is that he
thought there is no country in the civilized world that is less attention paid
philosophy than the United States. This is applicable to American life in 1997
because the whole world is practically joined to the United States. Just about
every country in the world trades with, tours in, and watches for the United
States. What I mean by watches is that they practically always know what's going
on (except for the top-secret things) in the United States, whether it be by
television, computers, or satellites they know what the U.S. is doing. The U.S.
is basically a "free-for-all" county; the laws and schools ar .....

The Strategies The Meiji Government Used To Achieve Economic Development?
.... included father, teacher, official and employer. The
Japanese education system also created a system of technical schools and
universities both public and private that educated a growing class of Japanese
on how to use new western machinery, administrate government and run private
industries. The Japanese education system following the Rescript on Education
served primarily to teach people what to think and not how to think; and as
Edwin Reischauer stated, "Japan pioneered in the modern totalitarian technique
of using the educational system for indoctrination and was in fact decades ahead
of countries like Germany in perfecting the .....

The Role Of The Emperor In Meiji Japan
.... is thought of as the High Priest of
Shinto. Despite the powerful myths surrounding Japan's imperial institution the
Emperor has enjoyed only figure head status from 1176 on. At some points during
this time the Emperor was reduced to selling calligraphy on the streets of Kyoto
to support the imperial household, but usually the Emperor received money based
on the kindness of the Shogunate.Footnote2 But despite this obvious power
imbalance even the Tokugawa Shogun was at least symbolically below the Emperor
in status and he claimed to rule so he could carry out the Imperial
rule.Footnote3
Within this historical context the Me .....

Environmental Law: Nollan Vs. CCC
.... Upon submitting the
permit application, the CCC found that the permit should be granted on the
condition that the Nollans provide public access to the beach and to the local
county park, which lay adjacent to the property. This provision called for the
Nollans to use a portion of their land to be used as a public walkway to the
beach and park. The Nollans protested to the condition, but the CCC overruled
the objection and granted the permit with the condition intact.
Case Decision:
The Nollans filed a petition to the Ventura County Superior Court asking
