From September eleventh to his handling of hurricane Katrina and the invasion of Iraq, there is an abundance of crisis related information we can use to judge, define, and sum President Bush’s leadership. Nevertheless, through his contribution to various cultures, leadership, and social outreach intervention programs President Bush excellently portrayed what it means to be a world president and humanitarian. As President, George Bush made fulfilling his citizenship responsibilities a priority. Hence, due to the fact that he was commander in chief, everything he did came with its degree of controversy or judgment. As President of a powerhouse nation, it was his responsibility not only to engage in the various cultures of the United States, but of the world. Therefore, through his work with combating cancer in Zambia and throughout Africa, promoting women’s rights in Africa’s first women’s summit, and mending foreign policy in India, his commitment and engagement in various cultures and racial groups prevailed—above all controversy. Prior to September eleventh, when the nation knew not of the dangers that lurked, President Bush worked ruthlessly for the American people in every way possible. Nevertheless, after the event that defined our nation and transformed the world, the President was faced with a demoralizing but inevitable task of bringing justice. In the face of sheer terror and uncertainty like no other, the American people turned to their commander and chief for direction as well as action. Although many lives had been lost and no one knew what would happen next, President Bush knew he had to first soothe the nation, and inevitably bring justice for those who perished.

President Bush's outreach effort, as illustrated by a large map of the world in the room of the exhibit, is composed of small photos of the faces of individuals around the globe suffering from disease. Thus, through his championing of education, economic growth, global health, and human freedom, his passion for civic engagement shone. With all of the judgment and politics aside, George Bush was a remarkable man. Whether President or not, few people could have overcame and surpassed as much trauma, stress, judgment, and hate as President Bush did. His Presidency and his humanitarian actions, within the two terms, without a doubt set a precedent for all future presidents, as well as redefined what it meant to be a contributing global and local citizen.
Wilsonianism is a word used to describe a certain type of ideological perspectives on foreign policy. It came from the ideology of United States President Woodrow Wilson.

George Bush’s Address To The Nation Address to the Nation, was the name of a famous speech given by George W. Bush after the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Throughout George W. Bush's political career he has implored the use of Aristotle's tripod, which we like to call it. This tripod is a rhetoric which implies that persuasion relies on three things, which are ethos, pathos, and logos. Logos is devoted solely to logic and reason. While on the other hand, pathos deals with attitudes and beliefs. Perhaps the most important one which pertains to George W. Bush is something called ethos, that is to say the branch of the tripod which deals with the personal

“Things aren't ever what they seem to be when you first look at them. What's important is that you keep your mind wide open and try to understand what's going on from a lot of different angles.” – Christopher Paul Curtis. Some things in life seem deceiving and deviate one’s thinking from the truth behind them. But the main aspect to look at is who has the benefit of misleading the society and why they strive to do that. People always talk about a third party that has interest in certain events occurring

The President of the United States is commonly referred to as the most powerful man in the world. The President is the head of the country which boasts the world’s largest economy, commander and chief of the most powerful military in the world, and has command authority over the largest active nuclear arsenal in the world. However, his power is not unlimited. Throughout the history of the United States, some presidents have attempted to go beyond the powers granted to them. Most of these attempts
