Ho Chi Minh Tet Offensive
1,316 wordsThe Tet offensive was certainly the decisive campaign of the war, but lost in these set of battles was the real underlying reason why the grossly underestimated NLF and North Vietnamese army could actually succeed in this undermanned set of attacks. I think the real success of this campaign was not the effectiveness and the planning of the NLF and NV army, but the lack of preparation of the US forces. The NLF and NV army have received too much credit on this suicide mission. The credit should ac...

The views of the East made the hippie culture more than just a small group of extremists. The power of the philosophy made the movement a revolution. In o...

Women Rights In Islamic States
2,821 wordsWomen's Rights in Islamic States Within Islam, women play a role almost solely as a homemaker. Women are rarely allowed to leave the house.

The ideal Muslim woman is modest, pious, and cares greatly for her family (Ahmed, p. 167). The status of women within Islamic society is almost a perfect mirror image of the seeming destiny of Islam at t...

Lies My Teacher Told Me By James Loewen
1,271 wordsLies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen James W. Loewen, in my opinion, makes a very valid argument in Lies My Teacher Told Me. He argues that teaching (of history) today relies too much on the textbooks which glorify the United States and its imperfect leaders and heroes. His examples, in fact, are very surprising to those most unfamiliar, or deceived, in their understanding of American History and are painfully obvious to those fairly educated in the events of our nations past. Personally, I a...

Ho Chi Minh 38 Th Parallel
1,168 wordsThe Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust, suspicion, and misunderstandings by the United States and the Soviet Union. At times, these conditions increased the likelihood of a third world war. Elementary and Middle School books tell about the cold war being the struggle of the evil east against the democratic west. This leads students to believe that the cold war was one major battle, but really the cold war was made up of many smaller events. The United States accused the Soviet Union o...

Environmental Protection Agency Agent Orange
1,129 wordsDioxin is one of the most toxic chemicals known. A report released for public comment in September 1994 by the US Environmental Protection Agency clearly describes dioxin as a serious public health threat. The public health impact of dioxin may rival the impact that DDT had on public health in the 1960 s. According to the EPA report, not only does there appear to be no " safe" level of exposure to dioxin, but levels of dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals have been found in the general US ...
