In Germany and Japan, however, banks, other large financial institutions, and other companies own most of the stock in public corporations.

Create a 14 page essay paper that discusses Within the context of the period 1854 to 1954: To what extent foreign policy of America towards Japan was driven by economic considerations.

However, Japan had limited trade with the Dutch and Chinese before opening its doors to U.S. This led to signing of the 1854 Treaty of Peace and Amity at Kanagawa. Full diplomatic relations began in 1858 through negotiations by Townsend Harris which led to signing of Treaty of Amity and commerce. Further negotiations followed leading to signing of more treaties especially to do with security in time of war. The relations were not a coincidence but a strategic decision by foreign policy makers in US especially the president who wanted to expand trade in the western region and the pacific was a suitable route to those areas and also China where US had interests. Japan led by Tokugawa Shogunates was opposed to any dealings with foreigners especially the West so as to safeguard its borders and strengthen its domestic interests. However, opening the borders to US and European countries was a turning point for its growth and modernity especially technologically. The US-Japan relations since then have been cordial especially in commerce and security. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the extent to which foreign policy of America towards Japan was driven by economic considerations.

Countries adopt different policies when dealing with the rest of the world. Some countries opt to be realists while others are idealists. Kaufman (2010) asserts that most citizens do not care about foreign policy as they think it does not affect them in any way but Kaufman thinks foreign policy decisions affect everyone. This is because if a decision is made on trade for example to establish foreign companies or allow a foreign company to invest in the country, these same citizens consume these goods manufactured in different countries hence are affected in one way or another. It is for this reason that the public is often opposed to certain foreign policies and

Write a 15 page essay on Considering Why Young People Begin Using Illicit Substances and How to Reduce Drug Taking Activity.

There are two types of illicit substances, commonly known as soft drugs and hard drugs. Soft drugs include barbiturates, amphetamines and cannabis while heroin and cocaine are highly addictive and are called hard drugs (Keene 2002, p. 78). The soft drugs are not highly addictive while the hard drugs are highly addictive. Although all substances are harmful as they affect a person’s mental and physical health cocaine is particularly dangerous in fact it is lethal if taken in large amounts.

Youth today is quite well-informed about the harmful effects of drugs and even though they are aware of the potential dangers of using illicit drugs that do not stop them from experimenting. There are various reasons which pull the young people towards drugs. some teenagers try drugs simply out of curiosity. The experimentation which starts with soft drugs often leads the use of hard drugs and consequently criminal activities (Pudney 2003). Studies show that cannabis is the most commonly used drug in the United Kingdom with 42% of the users being teenagers between the ages of 15 and 16 (Keene 2002, p. 76) whereas cocaine is the most commonly used hard drug.

Boredom was cited as a reason for taking illicit drugs by young people belonging to middle-class families. In such cases, illicit drugs were a means of recreation and a way to enjoy and explore life from a different angle. It added excitement to their lives making it interesting. Some teenagers take drugs for enjoyment and may stop once the novelty is over but this can only happen if they are using soft drugs. The desire to appear cool or be accepted as popular is the reason which gets high school students hooked to drugs.

Drugs can have a strong effect on a person’s mind and thinking.&nbsp.

Write 6 page essay on the topic Compare and contrast the depiction of Muslim men to that of Muslim women in orientalist discourses.

im scholars try to disprove the oppressed and inferior position of Muslim women and state that such opinion was necessary for West to keep the opinion about the East as about the backward part of the world.

The orientalism in the broadest sense is the description of the East and Islam from a certain point of view, which carries a fair share of subjectivity and not always reflects the true state of affairs, but often distorts the reality. The orientalism considers Islam and everything connected with it – a culture, a civilization, a geographical area as something that contradicts with rational human principles of the West. “Whether they are televised or printed, it is not surprising that Western media reports maintain a constant distorted image of Arabs and Muslims. Fabricated stereotypes of Islam are omnipresent in Western media through all means of communication. What is lamentably odd is that Arabs and Muslims are seen as one and unique entity with the aim to be arbitrarily regarded collectively as anti-rational, barbaric, anti-democratic, etc. To achieve this aim the western media deliberately distort many Islamic concepts” (Ridouani, 2011).

If to look at a question with the eyes of orientalists, the following picture appears: Muslim women didnt make any contribution to history, they either were sold on the markets or were kept in harems as sexual objects. “Stories about Muslim women living in non-Western countries were often stories about political violence where they were represented as victims of violence and Islamic practices. Representations of Muslim women were also marked by a continual obsession with the veil. Muslim women were often portrayed as victims in need of Western liberation” (Mishra, 2007). Men on the contrary are depicted as tyrants and oppressors, who are humiliating women, and if to look at the issue from the point of view of the West, the East, especially Islamic world, was a huge harem. Сertainly, there are certain reasons
