The effects of the propaganda campaign that has been waged against Chavez are hard to quantify. It is evident that many Americans as well as many individuals from the rest of the world believed the exaggerations and the propaganda efforts to be factually true. There is really no way to know exactly what effect the propaganda had on the view of the public. One measure would be through public opinion polls. One such poll only found that six percent of Americans had a favorable view of Chavez which would represent a successful instance of propaganda (Hawkins, 2013). However, Chavez's impact on South America will be felt indefinitely as he worked to unify the region in order to develop a closer South American alliance.

This paper is on marine life pollution. The causes of the marine pollution have multiple effects on marine life. The loss of life is the worst effect. It is also observed that even low level of pollution and contaminations can cause loss of life for sea lives. The other effects include diseases, small size of eggs, and the number of spawning. The future of sea life is dependent on the purity of marine environment. There are multiple causes of vanishing species in sea life due to increased pollution. The reproductive cycles of most fish species are adversely affected through contaminated sea water. The importance of spawn in fish life is one the major concerns.

The contemporary society largely owes its advancements to ancient peoples such as the Egyptians, considering the technological progress experienced in Egypt in times when the rest of the world was struggling to survive given the harsh conditions available. While Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome were diverse civilizations and spread over several territories, Ancient Egypt concentrated on a particular geographical area. Even with this, the complex nature of this particular civilization makes it difficult for one to describe it similar to how he or she would describe the other two.

Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War Washington rules: America's path to permanent war is an indictment of the Washington consensus that positions the U.S. as the World's Big Brother and Policeman. Commencing with the Truman Administration, Bacevich traces the birth, development and maintenance of the Washington consensus built on a credo in which the United States alone must "lead, save, liberate, and ultimately transform the world," along with the "trinity" of global military presence, global power projection and global interventionism. Based on these two elements of credo and trinity, along with the complacency of the American people, the United States has spread its military might around the globe in a so-called "flexible response" thrusting us "into a condition approximating perpetual war" that is costing the country dearly in human and nonhuman resources. Bacevich then suggests solutions in the form of a new credo in which the United States becomes a model of the ideals set forth in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. He also suggests a new trinity in which America shifts from: a large professional military constantly prepared for war to more of a citizen-warrior force; use of our military for world domination to use of the military for defense and vital interests only; global occupation to withdrawal from areas in which the cost clearly outweighs the benefit. Bacevich's book is widely praised, though problems have been noted. Though chiefly praising Bacevich's book, Gary J. Bass takes issue with: at least one of Bacevich's severe analogies between our policymakers and possibly Hitler; Bacevich's exclusion of examples in which American leaders and the American public acted against the foregone conclusion of the Washington consensus. Gerard De Groot also praises Bacevich's book but believes that Bacevich's belief that the American public can change the current situation is too optimistic. In addition to the criticisms posed by Bass and De Groot, it appears that Bacevich's suggestion of eliminating our large, well-armed professional military is an invitation to a disaster that we were fortunate to miss during World War II. Finally, Bacevich's suggestion of defense-only and vital interest-only use of our military raises significant issues about what constitutes "defense" and "vital interest," as well as the important issue of who will decide what constitutes "defense" and "vital interest." In sum, Bacevich's book raises important perspectives and historical examples that compel the reader to examine and challenge the current Washington consensus; however, the book is also somewhat flawed and/or incomplete.

This paper compares and contrasts Andy Warhol's "100 Cans" (1962) with Mark Rothco's "Untitled 1953" by a preset format assigned in the class. The outcome is that these two paintings have very little in common except for their scale, beyond being approachable to most individuals if those audiences are ready to understand the pieces. Warhol's mass appeal has become a cultural cliché over the fifty years since "100 Cans" but this was not always the case; in fact when Warhol painted the piece, advertising for national brands was at a vulnerable low. Rothko on the other hand, although many disparage abstract expressionism as enigmatic, actually intended to make art that was accessible to all regardless of language or nationality. This is ironic because Rothko ended up getting co-opted into the modernist elite mainstream even though abstract expressionism was considered by most unacessible and avant-garde.
