Ten page paper on international relations, foreign policy, and national security focusing on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The emphasis is on the securitizaiton theory, which suggests that perceptions of threat are as important as the actual forms of threat. This has led to the Israeli paranoia, coupled with Palestinian victim consciousness, neither of which are constructive.

Using Michael Paterniti's "The Most Dangerous Beauty" as a source, these essays examine the artistic legacy of the Nazis. While it is difficult to determine how to judge Nazi artifacts, it seems reasonable to presume that one can appreciate their artistic beauty without diminishing the evil of the Nazis' actions. In turn, this more reasonable approach to historical injustice allows one to better come to terms with the Holocaust and understand what it means for humanity as a whole.

World War II – the Eastern Front History is often the story of one person's flaws afflicting whole populations. This truism was never truer than in World War II. A man obsessed with a messianic delusion fed off his personal foibles, rising to great power over a revitalized nation but then causing himself and that nation to crash in utter defeat. The greatest invasion on Earth was devised but ultimately doomed by this man: Hitler's prejudice, paranoia, and perplexity defeated the invasion of Russia, known as Barbarossa. Hitler's rabid prejudice against all non-Aryan people, including the people of Russia, was intense and costly. Deeming these people Untermenschen, or subhuman, Hitler simultaneously planned to oppress and exploit these "inferior" people while clearly underestimating their abilities to endure and ultimately defeat him. Hitler's paranoia was also a major factor in the failure of Barbarossa, for his distrust of his own generals led him to ignore their advice and experience, crippling Germany's military future through his unrealistic plan to defeat Russia in merely 4 weeks. Finally, once Hitler's forces were in Russia and initially victorious, Hitler was perplexed as to where exactly those forces should next be sent to completely conquer Russia. In a fatal display of hubris and thoughtlessness, Hitler split his forces, sending them north and south. This split resulted in the overextension of his forces and delays that pushed the invasion into the devastating Russian Winter. Spread thin and inadequately prepared for fighting through the extreme cold and snow of Russia, German forces suffered their greatest casualties and ultimately endured the failure of their massive invasion. As all consulted sources agree, German forces never recovered from the failure of Barbarossa. The concentration of German forces on this Eastern Front due to Hitler's obsession with conquering Russia caused the Germans to all but abandon the Battle of Britain, thus saving Britain from certain defeat. Furthermore, the defeat contributed to the mutual distrust between Hitler and his generals, crippling Germany's ability to effectively fight the War. Finally, the failure of Barbarossa weakened the Third Reich in aspects from which it never recovered, turning Germany's focus to the immense Eastern Front, overextending German forces and inflicting huge casualties on the Germans. Consequently, it can be reasonably concluded that Hitler's personal flaws directly resulted in the failure of Barbarossa and Germany's loss in World War II.

Traditionally, we have constructed intelligence as a combination of intellectual and academic capabilities. But more recently, research has emerged to indicate that intelligence, especially in early childhood development, is far more nuanced and varied in nature. The discussion here considers a basic definition of intelligence which includes consideration of emotional intelligence as well as ways of improving intellectual development.
