Abstract
The paper provides a description and analysis of the world situation in the years from 1945 to 1970. The paper looks at the Cold War, the events in the Middle East and the revolutionary disorders of this time. The paper explains that an analysis of these events allows us to understand the complexity of some of the major events and how they interacted to form the global strategic history of the postwar era.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The state of the world in 1970 is a world far removed from the promise of the future set out less than a generation before by the victorious Allies after World War II. America, the globe's preeminent superpower, is wracked by civil rights conflicts and youth protests at home while an apparently intractable war proceeds in Vietnam. In the Middle East, the overwhelming victory of the Israelis over Arab nations in the 1967 war has yielded to division in the Arab world and the rise of the Palestinian liberation movement. In Europe various nations struggle with how to integrate themselves economically and politically, while centers of the great European empires of Britain and France suffer from a decline in their stature."

Abstract
This paper explains that the years from 1945 to 1970 witnessed the transformation of the world order, which had been characterized by the emergence of the nation-states of the 19th century and their imperialistic colonization of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The author points out that, after WWII, with the power of England, France and Germany destroyed, the U.S. was the only major power unscathed in its territory. The paper relates that, when the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb and imposed its constricting net over Eastern Europe, the two super powers aggressively opposed each other on either side of the Cold War. The author concludes that the state of the world in 1970 found a radically altered American society where, for the first time in its history, its Vietnam War policy was politicized and polarized.

From the Paper
"It is possible and perhaps necessary to view this strategic impasse less as a function of monolithic state policy than as actions motivated and implemented by government sectors, interest groups, or ministries. The arms race, with its high stakes in profits, needed a protagonist and an adversary; certain elements within the burgeoning military-industrial context also benefited quite well from the ostensibly anti-U.S. policy of Charles de Gaulle who "suspended military assistance to Israel" leaving the U.S. to become Israel's main arms supplier."

Abstract
This paper examines how "Global Governmentality: Governing International Spaces" by Wendy Larner and William Walters deals with a series of novel concepts of global politics. Through a chapter by chapter analysis, the paper discusses how the book commences with the innovative stands it takes relative to various issues and how it is a collection of stories from global situations, global perspectives all presented from various standpoints which has the benefit of presenting the issues of interest from various angles and allowing as such the reader to make an informed and objective opinion based on the works of various researchers.

From the Paper
"Still in the field of globalization and governance, Gavin Kendall discusses the issues of Global networks, international networks [and] actor networks. He first discusses the issues of power and a quest for dominance imposed by the Western imperialists and colonialists. He argues that the values which dominated the desire for power have transformed into the values which guide the modern society. Yet, the author of the chapter argues that a mistake has been recurrent in the specialized literature in that other researcher have often given too much power to the forces of globalization on their own. Otherwise put, Kendall believes that globalization in itself is not more than a concept and that it is the people and the structure behind it that give it strength and power.
"In this order of ideas then, he strives to come up with a theory that explains the construction of global networks, as well as the systems they use to grow and prosper. In order to make his case, Kendall looks at global structures constructed in various domains, including society and technology. He comes to the realization that global peace and order can only be achieved with the full cooperation and collaboration of all structures in the international system. Additionally, there must exist a will and a way in order for the mentioned goals to be achieved. While he recognizes that his arguments address a certain kind of economists and politicians who promoted the idea of a uniform and powerful globalization, he hopes that his points will the least make for an interesting reading."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the German social situation in Germany in the years 1945 to 1949. Of special note, the paper reviews the evident glee over the demise of the old Nazi and moneyed elite, the fanciful desire to "forget" the past, the unsettling persistence of racist attitudes (even if not as vehement as some might have feared), and the ideological and social divide between east and west which accompanied the partition of Germany by the occupying Allied powers. In the end, this paper argues that the German social situation in the late 1940s was one wherein the German people sought to escape the past but found that geopolitical encumbrances, old attitudes and a divided land made that impossible.

Abstract
The paper discusses Global Communications' problematic relations with the union and its employees. The paper explains that should the situation not be solved in an amicable manner, the company is exposed to extreme risks, such as losing the confidence and the support of the employees and a negative media coverage attracting the anger of public opinion. The paper demonstrates how the company wishes to become a global player on the market of telecommunications and this involves the success of the present negotiations with the union. The paper shows how Global Communications must manage the ongoing changes through highly efficient communication, transforming the union into a partner and maintaining their proficient relations with the stockholders.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The problem that Global Communications is faced with has several causes that have occurred during time and from various directions. The factors that have led to the appearance of the present problematic situation include general tendencies in the industry, as well as specific management philosophy elements. The main causes that have favored the existing problem include the general business globalization tendency, the intense development of the competition, the use of a distributive approach in relation with the union and the lack of a communication plan: "The logic, such as it is, that people will do as they are told and they don't need to be involved." (Bibb 2005)"

Abstract
This paper defines the problem for Global Communications, which is facing a layoff and outsourcing that are expected to upset staff and affect profitability. To combat these problems, the paper lays out alternative solutions, offers one as the optimum choice, and proposes an implementation plan.

From the Paper
"Global communications has a challenging situation to deal with. Executive management has decided to institute a massive layoff and offshore work to India and Ireland, a decision that it presented to the union after the fact and has yet to broach to employees. It now needs to find a way to handle the impending layoff and the outsourcing and repair its strained relationship with the union and..."

Abstract
This paper examines the Global Communications scenario and provides a gap analysis that focuses on the company's internal communication problems. Its communication distortion, barriers, and hierarchy are examined, and recommendations are made concerning how it can close the gap between its current situation and end-state vision.

From the Paper
"Global Communications has serious communication problems within its own organization. Although the organization ostensibly is in the business of communications its own internal communication channels are inadequate, impeded by barriers and causing important information to be distorted and lost. Above all upper management has set up its own barriers by refusing to communicate vital issues to the union or to workers resulting in negative responses to its decision."

Abstract
The nurse is never in a simple relationship that merely includes herself or himself and a patient. Instead, the nurse is always situated in a global context of health and healing. The reality of the nurse's position and problem of achieving a global perspective is illustrated by Austin (2001) who mentions that there are 11 million nurses providing care globally. One nursing theorist who illustrates the global context of nursing is Jean Watson whose model of human care evolved out of awareness of human suffering so that her image of nursing became a science of the whole (Fitzpatrick & Whall, 2001).

Abstract
The paper discusses how Kiegaldie and White (2006) state that the clinical situation is significant for both the nursing professional and the patient because it provides the basis for the quality of care that will be offered and received by the patient in each case (p. 31). The paper looks at how Raingruber (2003) argues that the clinical situation not only defines care but supports the identities of those associated with health care (p. 104). The paper explains that in the current case, the clinical situation demonstrates severe issues associated with both the nurse and patient. The case is explored and then discussed in both personal and professional terms, as well as examined through the theories of each issue connected to the literature. Additionally, a focus on how the findings of the research will influence practice is offered, as well as conclusions drawn based on the research.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses dealing with an emergency situation as a firefighter. The writer describes the first emergency situation after graduation from the fire training academy. The writer also discusses emotions involved and coping with the emergency.

From the Paper
"In 1998, I was working as a firefighter, and on this occasion, a call came in at 4:35 am. I was then working at Station 2, Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I had not been there long, for I had just graduated from the Fire Academy. The call that morning was to a house fire with occupants, fully involved. I could see smoke from the fire station, and as we left the fire station, lights flashing, sirens blasting, the only thing I could think about was whether or not I was going to have to enter this burning house. I was excited at the prospect of starting my career with a real emergency, and at the same time, I felt that excitement was not the best emotion to be experiencing because while this was a chance for me to put my training ..."
