The military since the Colonial Era has been an impetus for social reform in the United States. The Revolutionary War afforded Black Americans an opportunity to escape from the toils of slavery and fight for freedom. Some Black Americans even earned their freedom by fighting for the Colonists, but still the freedom they fought for wasn’t their own. However, the military was responsible for the freedom of many slaves and some of these freed slaves became legendary soldiers like Salem Poor. His performance in battle gave credibility for future arguments about blacks being allowed to serve.

I want to be a JAG Officer because of the variety of work it provides. I have demonstrated interests in criminal law, international law, and national security law. My interest in criminal law started as a child in front of the television and I continued to engage this interest by studying criminal justice and honing my investigatory at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. My interests in international and national security law began in college where I studied and wrote about topics such as Just War Theory and terrorism and have continued in law school where I am the Director of Events for my institutions National Security Law Association. A career in the JAG Corps will allow me to pursue those interests while my ability
With all the focus our country has recently put on Healthcare I thought is necessary to look at a country which has used a Universal Health care model to understand where we as a country are heading and why so many people are opposed to it. For years I have heard that Japanese healthcare was one of the best in the world and known of people who would travel to Japan to receive treatment. Japan has been at the forefront of technology and it seems that the use of that technology has helped them advance in Health Care as well. In comparing both Japanese and American Health Care Systems I am hoping to find if Japanese Health Care is better than our American Health Care System.
Customs, courtesies, and traditions mean the way marines uphold themselves, while at the same time showing respect among different ranks and keeping traditions celebrated as time goes on. The United States Marine Corps was founded on November 10th, 1775 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and consists of many customs, courtesies, and traditions. Like so many things in life, the Marine Corps have a set of strict and firm rules and regulations that are made to uphold by each and every person enlisted in the military. These rules and regulations have been enforced to established and maintain good order and discipline in every marine to avoid having orderly conduct while on and off duty. Customs and courtesies were created based off of traditions
The purpose of this paper is to describe business practice in detail and provide a comparison of South Korea with that of the United States in regard to business practices. The researcher will define ethical and legal business practice as well as unethical and illegal business practices. Furthermore, the researcher will identify business practices that are considered illegal and unethical in the United States and address why these same practices are considered legal and ethical in South Korea. Finally, the researcher will provide a course of actions to deal with the difference in ethical and legal practices when transacting business with a country that has different standards.
To what extent did the United States or the Soviet Union cause the ceasefire of the Korean War in 1953? This investigation is historically significant because it focuses on which country influenced Korea to create the Armistice Agreement on the Korean War. The scope of this investigation focuses on the years 1945-1953 through the span of the Korean War and when the Armistice Agreement was created. One method to be used in this investigation is an examination of The Two Koreas: A Contemporary History. This resource will be examined to see the impact the United States had on Korea as a whole. Another resource utilized is the documents of “Army Department Teletype Conference” during the time of the Korean War. This source will be analyzed to peek into some of the United State’s actions during the Korean War. To further research additional sources will be used such as books, articles, letters, and documents from important assets in the war.
Korea has undergone many conflicts that brought political and social upheavals which greatly affected their quest towards modernization and unification. During the mid-7th centuries when Korea is just starting to shape its own national identity, there is already a series of events that caused several changes in the livelihood of the early settlers of the Korean peninsula. These events including the wars between the three kingdoms Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, the spread of the Chinese influence (Sinicization), and the formation of alliances between the East Asian nations such as the Tang dynasty of China allied with Silla, and the Yamato kingdom of Japan allied with Baekje changed the people’s perception of Korea as a nation because of the influence of different emerging cultures. Religion is also one of the main contributors that made Korea a subject for change because it allowed the acceptance or assimilation of different cultures from the East and the West. These changes continued up to modern times when Korea is struggling to achieve modernization and reunification brought by the plight of war and political conflicts. The vast history of Korea is the key in understanding their transitions throughout the ages.
Webster’s dictionary defines the word profession as a type of job that requires special education, training, or skill. Many Soldiers would not consider the Army as a profession but a way of life. Some think the word profession belongs to everyday jobs like a plumber, mechanic, or doctor. Dr. Don M. Snider stated “the Army is a profession because of the expert work it produces, because the people in the Army develop themselves to be professionals, and because the Army certifies them as such” (Snider, D. M. 2008). In October 2010, the Secretary of the Army directed the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to lead an Army wide assessment of the state of the Army Profession. We have been at war as a Country for over a decade and the Army wanted to know how to shape the future of the Army as a profession and the effects the past decade had on our profession.
Throughout the past two decades, boycotts and demonstrations against Korean-American grocers by African-Americans have become increasingly common. This Anti-Korean stance has been fueled by complaints of Koreans' rudeness and physical violence towards customers, shoplifting suspicions, and price discrimination. However, using these same grievances, Korean-Americans have also done their share of shaking up the system.

Before World War II Japan ruled Korea as one country from 1939-1945. After World War II Korea was split into two countries. The U.S. took the side of South Korea, which was ruled by Syngman Rhee. Syngman Rhee lived March 26, 1875- July 19, 1965. He had a traditional Confucian education then went on to Methodist school where he learned English. He became a nationalist and later a Christian. When he was 21 he joined a group that’s goal was to free Korea from Japan. The club was broken apart and he was arrested from 1898-1904.

He was elected president of the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai where he lived for a year and then moved back to Hawaii where he had been living, trying to create an international movement for his country. He remained president for 20 years before being p...
South Korea has a strong $1-trillion economy; it is the third largest market in Asia, behind Japan and China. It also has the 13th largest economy in the world. It is expected that the economy’s current upward trajectory will continue for some time to come. This makes South Korea an attractive market for foreign investment, especially as the world economy, as a whole, continues to improve.
Education should be important where you go no matter what, but in some countries education is everything. Several countries want to be the best in the education system, but they do not know the toll it can take on the youth. Happiness of the children should be number one, but it is the parents who want to be happy about their child’s education. Although sometimes the youth like to experiment with different career paths. It may be frowned upon to do such a thing, they should do what makes them happy.
The first two most major differences would be the language and the culture of South Korea compared the the United States. I plan on using my free time to study and learn as much Korean as I can before I move to South Korea for a semester. I also aim to study how the culture in South Korea is different from the culture in Raleigh, North Carolina so I can be as prepared as possible. However, I do realize that I will still have much to learn about South Korea that can only be learned by living there. Learning in Seoul for a semester about different customs, etiquette, language, and culture would be a an invaluable opportunity to be given. Aside from the two main differences, studying at Seoul National University would be different from NC State because I would have to start
