¶ … Politics
The crumbling of the former communist block and the ending of the cold war had led people in thinking that the world would become safer. The cold war had been regarded from the realist politics corner as having had the motive of forming a balance between the two greatest powers in the world. The liberals, on the other side, believe that the balance in the world would be kept with the help of the institutions created by the U.S. with the purpose of maintaining an economical balance within all the countries in the world.
With the ending of the cold war the realists had been somewhat discontented because of the fact that they regarded the conflict between the two world-superpowers as being both natural and necessary. The liberalists on the other hand, had been certain that the Cold War had not been justified, despite of the fact that they generally encouraged liberalism all over the world. Thus, the ending of the Cold War had favored liberalists which now enjoyed U.N.-like institutions formed of both democratic and communist countries.
Most of the states in the world had cheerfully acknowledged the falling of the Communist block. The eastern European countries for example had felt that they've been liberated from the unjust regime. The western countries had regarded the end of the communism spreading across the world as a benefit, for they would have to fear less a potential attack from the Soviets.
In the present there is much controversy around the world's international system with its polarity being hard to identify. There are people claiming the world is ruled on all levels by the U.S. after the fall of the communist block and that we have a unipolar system. However, there are also people believing that the international system is, in fact, multipolar, with the world depending on more than four states and the superpowers never having been true rulers of the world.

Louis Althusser (1918-90) was one of the foremost Marxist theorists in the Western world, and advocated an especially orthodox version of Marxism that was always close to the Communist Party line. He regarded Bertolt Brecht as one of the great Marxist-revolutionary playwrights of the 20th Century, who used the theater to oppose the capitalist system and bourgeois ideology.

American Politics and Society Americans have long struggled with 1970s decade to understand exactly how it influenced American political, economic and social fabric. It seemed that while historians were pondering over the role of 1960s and 1980s, the decade in between evaporated in thin air with no one paying much attention or been able to comprehend the role played by this decade. But when the confused teenager of 1970s grew up
Lipset believe that education was conducive for democracy Lipset's appreciation and believes delegating the importance of education for attainment of democracy in a nation follows from the arguments below. With education, the masses embrace diverse occupational specialization. These specializations will shift of the nation's workforce from dependents on state created positions to economically determined specialization. The nation's workforce will inherently move away from being controlled by the state thereby, reducing

Education Advocacy Issues Massive institutional racism and structural inequalities still exist in the United States, especially in housing, public education and the criminal justice system in inner city areas. In every urban area, the quality of education available to poor and minority students is demonstrably worse by any measure than that of their white peers in the suburbs. This type of institutional discrimination is not caused by genetic or cultural deprivation
Galt's Gulch and a strike of the mind is possible? Do we choose not to believe it or the philosophy because we might not be one of them or do we truly not believe in top down economics? In theory a strike of the mind such as the one perpetrated by John Galt and his colleagues at Galt's Gulch seems like a logical idea; smart people would just have to
