Abstract
The idea of a people in revolt against their government is nothing new. The idea of revolt has connotations with violence, people taking up arms against those who are in control and forcing the changes the people desire. Revolution brings about political change. The people looked throughout the world for examples of truly political governments which were representative of the people and not of a small group or ruling class. Anarchy and Communism both present viable options as a result of revolution.

Abstract
The paper shows how, throughout history, all forms of government are undesirable and explains the two different lines of anarchist thought: "Left-anarchism" and "Anarcho-capitalism". The paper concludes that humanity would benefit from anarchy.
From the Paper
"Some of the most misunderstood theories are often more sensible than the majority of common well-known doctrines. Anarchy is an extremely frequently misconstrued political view. Many people believe anarchists favor chaos and disfavor customary organizations like religion. Most of society does not look at anarchism for what it is; a simple solution to the difficulties many countries are experiencing today, and have been experiencing since the beginning of civilization."

Abstract
The paper states that Nozick's arguments against redistributive tax is not a valid argument, neither on the microscopic nor the macroscopic scale. The author believes that it cannot be said that any individual person has any right to a specific piece of property if Nozick's idea of property is correct and is to be the standard by which people are said to own property.
From the Paper
"In "Anarchy, State, and Utopia", Nozick argues that redistributive policies in which the wealthy are taxed to help out poor people is unjust and give the poor property rights over the wealthy. The redistribution of wealth via the government is unjust because it violates all of these principles. First of all, the poor do not work for the wealth given to them, that is a violation of the first principle. Second, there is abundant opportunities for people to make money themselves (2nd principle). So why should the government hand the poor something that the wealthy person has presumably worked for? Lastly, the transfer of property is not just, because the wealthy personally and voluntarily do not agree with the transfer. Therefore, wealth redistribution through involuntary taxation results in the poor having property rights over the wealthy the case."

Abstract
This paper examines the pros and cons of hegemony, institutions, democratization (liberalism), and a growing world economy which the author feels is the answer for the future of the world as they provide long-term answers with few short term costs.
From the Paper
"In order to fight terrorism, we first need to define it. Terrorism is defined in the dictionary as political violence. It is considered to be violence or the threat of violence, especially bombing, kidnapping, and assassination, carried out for political purposes. A professor went on to define terrorists directly as non-state actors who seek to change the status quo, frequently through violence, but not always. In order to solve any major problem, you must strike at the root. How do we do this? By taking away the reason for the non-state actors to change the status quo through violence. "

Abstract
Thomas Hobbes thought human nature was basically bad, in traits of fear and greed that surfaced under conditions of weak government or anarchy. Without strong leadership to remove human fear and limit human acquisitiveness one would only see worse displays of human nature as a kind of dormant force of which leaders needed to be aware; note on how the ideas of Hobbes influenced British political thought.

Communication Studies: Night and Fog - or Why Politics Matter The following paper will argue that Night and Fog is a powerful film which illuminates why political engagement and intellectual engagement with the pressing issues of the day are vital to ensuring an informed, principled and morally disciplined citizenry that will not be easily swayed by demagogues playing upon their deepest, darkest fears. Over the next several pages, an effort will be undertaken to show how the film forces people to ask tough questions about human nature, about "civilized" human society, and insists that audience members look at human tragedy without succumbing to easy generalizations about this group or that group.

"This research paper discusses developments in Kenya in the first 33 years after it achieved independence in 1963. Despite many problems, Kenya achieved a reasonable degree of political stability and made rapid economic progress under the one party rule of Jomo Kenyatta until his death in 1978 and for a few years thereafter. During the next decade, Kenya underwent a period of economic deterioration and growing political repression under Daniel arap Moi. In the 1990s, Kenya has suffered from a state of creeping anarchy during the waning days of Moi's rule which threatens its political viability and economic future.
Political Stability and Economic Progress (1963-1982)
After 68 years of British colonial rule, Kenya became independent in 1963 as a Republic within the British..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how one scholar, Hans Morgenthau developed the thinking of both the theory and application of Realism in international relations. The main assumptions of Realism are discussed including some elements of peace, security, war, power, structure and anarchy. Examples are drawn from contemporary experiences in international relations and compared with Morgenthau's type of Realist paradigm from his time.
From the Paper
"Morgenthau's book, "Politics Among Nations" first published in 1948, was one launch of attack on the Idealists. It was written at a time when there was much theoretical crises and thus, a time when there was a search for the truth and ways of seeking to understand the behavior among states. Thus, Morgenthau's first contribution was the separation of what was real from what were aspirations, the latter being at the heart of Idealist discourse. Morgenthau at this juncture drew on Carr in explaining the idea that Idealists focused on "what should be". However, Morgenthau decided that the crux of a true science should focus on "what is"."
