S. companies, gain a better education abroad, and improve one's life. Even in China today, as a result of capitalist outreach, a new middle class has emerged. But whether Western values are 'better' or merely more dominant is questionable. Again, there was criticism of international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, for forcing nations to privatize and engage in economic reforms that were fundamentally Western in nature, not necessarily fundamentally better or keeping with the nation's interests and cultural orientation.
Western dominance has also brought rejection and resentment in many areas of the world, most notably the Islamic world that despises what it sees as the unhealthy secularism and decadence of the West. The attacks on the World Trade Towers, many political analysts believed, reflected years of frustration and a feeling of powerlessness in the face of Western cultural dominance....
America has been criticized for assuming that its values of 'freedom' and 'democracy' are superior to all other ways of life. Although the world sympathized with America's mourning over the 9/11 attacks, its single-minded determination to 'go it alone' in Iraq despite European reluctance caused a shift in the world power dynamic, a reluctance to support America at any cost, in all of its endeavors. The European Union and the European Economic Community stand as testimony to increasing strength of regional political and economic powers. Yet however deep the resentment of the U.S. And the desire to upset its status as superpower for all time, the current economic crisis that began in the American credit market acts as a reminder that the U.S., like it or not, cannot be ignored -- when America sneezes, economically, the world catches a recessionary cold, and American continues to speak softly and carry a big stick in much of its foreign policy.
S. Therefore, it is fairly evident that U.S. foreign policy certainly aided in worsening the political situations in much of Latin America during the Cold War. It did so by serving as a source of enmity for many nationalist groups that arose to oppose its domination in the area, by attempting to undermine the reform measures of governments erected in place of those that it favored, and by formally supplying weaponry,
S. government chose not only to ignore the great humanitarian tragedy but even refused to condemn the killing. The American inaction on the Rwandan genocide places a big question mark on any subsequent action of its government overseas for humanitarian reasons. Besides being accused of using "humanitarianism" as a smokescreen for pursuing its own narrow national interests, the United States is also accused of undermining the United Nations and International Law
Biggest Challenges The Three Biggest Challenges Facing the International Community & How They Affect International Relations In my opinion, the three biggest challenges facing the international community are: Inequality Terrorism, and Nuclear Proliferation These challenges have assumed crucial importance in recent times and have significantly affected international relations. If the international community fails to tackle these issues satisfactorily over the next few decades, they may become uncontrollable with overwhelming consequences for the whole world. This
China's Taiwan Policy China -- the most populous country in the world -- has exhibited remarkably high levels of sustained economic growth in the two decades since it reformed its economy following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. According to some analysts, the country is poised to become the number one economy in the world sometime in the mid-twenty first century. There are, however, certain political issues that may affect
S. domestic law, a U.S. citizen or resident (Non U.S. person) who is a beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan would be subjected to the existing U.S. income taxation on all of the income that is accrued in their foreign investment plans even though their income is never currently distributed per se to the beneficiary. This should be the case unless the foreign retirement plan accounts as the employee's trust
S. directly. Evidently, the long-term objectives indirectly face the smooth running of the U.S. government. Priority should be given to those aspects that will pull the resources of the country to extreme levels. The U.S. As a super-power is privileged when tackling issues affecting other nations; it is mandated to help developing long-term solutions. Long-term also implies that the impacts and effects need to be widespread in order to maintain balance
