The objective of this study is to examine the lessons learned by the American Experience of the Vietnam War in terms of diplomatic negotiations, presidential leadership, and the cultural and social context of the war. The work of Mariney (1989) writes that the U.S. civilian and military leadership failed "to heed the lessons of the past during the Vietnam war." (p.1) Not only was the enemy underestimated but as well, America underestimated the war's nature. The historical context was not given due consideration according to Mariney (1989) and specifically in terms of how the Chinese, Japanese, and the French have "over the centuries, attempted to exert control over Indochina unsuccessfully." (p.1)

This paper discusses the real purpose behind humanitarian interventions in Libya and in Syria in 2011-2013. It posits the theory that there are two angles to look at the question--the idealistic angle and the realistic angle. The realistic angle states that nations act on behalf of their own national interest and stand to gain from intervention.

In today's modern world, behavioral theory is one that is consistently studied and edited as it affects each and every individual who exists on the earth. While one's behavior in an individualized setting may significantly differ from their behavior in a group setting or an organizational setting, certain theories and research have existed and continue to evolve in order to understand why we as humans behave the way we do. In viewing the basic foundations of individual behavior, group behavior, and organizational behavior, as well as the current research that exists regarding each, one can better gauge what improvements and recommendations can be made in order for many different individuals to come together to achieve a desired and improved working environment. Additionally, in the context of the course at hand, one can understand which research and theories are most and least compatible with an overarching Christian worldview.

Some observers suggest that the recent resurgence of Fiat fortunes in recent years may be attributable to cultural changes within the organization, but it is also reasonable to suggest that a number of other factors have affected the company's ability to compete in an increasingly globalized marketplace as well. To determine how organizational cultural changes have affected Fiat in recent years, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning Fiat, including an evaluation of how the company and culture changed and why and the part the Fiat's executive leadership team played in these efforts.

Eugene O'Neill & Desire Under the Elms Personal feelings about O'Neill from the Video Listening to the video replay (I recorded it digitally for playback) it is at first quite sad to learn that O'Neill's father and mother for the most part were such incomplete and really incompetent parents during his formative years. It would be hard to imagine one's mother was addicted to morphine rather than being the loving, nurturing leader and role model as she is supposed to be. On second thought, it is also amazing that O'Neill turned out to be such a literary giant, showing sheer genius in his plays. The video notes that O'Neill is credited with being among the first playwrights to introduce "realism into American drama." Realism indeed, his early life was about as real as it can get, as his mom struggled with addition and his father was a wealthy and well-known theater star who, according to O'Neil's biography apparently "reformed the rather loose life he had lived" (American Decades, 1998, p. 1) – but doesn't seem to have provided the leadership a young boy needs. Indeed, sending one's bright young son off to a boarding school at the age of 8, doesn't sound like hands-on parenting. It sounds more like getting the kid out from under foot.
