Section 2.2 Bandwagoning: the understated strategic phenomenon Bandwagoning behavior was first established as the opposite to balancing (Waltz 1979: 126). However, the concept was later developed substantively in the literature, most notably the concept of ‘bandwagoning for profit’ (Schweller 1994). This section looks at the literature on bandwagoning, briefly reviews how bandwagoning strategy is defined and developed. 2.2.1 Conceptualization of bandwagoning in literature Attributed coining of
while the other loses. This keeps bargaining tight and encourages a fairer deal. 3. Bandwagoning is the strategy of a state joining a superior (usually offensive) side that is in a conflict to collect the “easy money” at an expected victory. Bandwagoning is an important concept because it undermines the notion of balance of power; alliances are not always formed to equalize powers on two sides.

A hero is a person who stands up for himself and does not give into what people have to say about him or what he does in life. A mob is a group of people who are going along with what other people have to say about something and are too afraid to say what they think, so they go along with the other’s views and thoughts. Throughout the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus portrays the hero to the blacks; the other whites around him are acting like a mob against him because he supports the blacks
Introduction - The 1950s was a time of divide between people. A time of segregation. Segregation is the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things. Segregation could no longer exist, but it does. It exists in the workplace, neighborhoods, and especially in schools. Kids who have problems with behavior are usually sent to alternative schools and separated from the kids at the regular school. This is not necessarily a negative. The awful part is how the alternative
According to the school of realism in international politics, states operate in a type of system which has been dubbed the ‘balance of power.’ There are many definitions for it, but Morgenthau’s description of the theory as “an actual state of affairs in which power is distributed among several nations with approximate equality” sums it up well. While the term itself may be of the last few centuries, Hume writes that it “is founded so much on common sense and obvious reasoning, that it is impossible

Within the broad field of international relations there are two main theoretical methodologies of study – realism and liberalism. Following the Cold War, doubt has been shed on the relevance of a realist approach to international relations, claiming that changing conditions and a modernizing world leave little space for the theory (Waltz, 2000). However, by considering the core tenets of realism, the main criticisms of the theory and responses to these, as well as considering real-world circumstances
After analyzing the 2005 P Diddy Pepsi commercial, I found it to be incredibly persuasive in many ways. The commercial aired during the thirty ninth super bowl during half time.

From bandwagoning the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals to social trends and dances, bandwagoning has played a role in society across generations. The bandwagon effect is when beliefs, conduct, or ideas are blindly adopted by individuals solely because they are following the “herd”.
