Abstract
This paper explains that realism, liberalism, and radicalism assert that the state should promote the best interests of a specific group above all else: For realists, the interests of the state are paramount; for liberals, individual and, for radicals, the interests of the majority should be promoted above both the interests of the state and the interests of individuals. The author points out that the differences dictate the way war is viewed: For realists, war is necessary when it is in the best interests of the state; for liberals, war is never in the best interests of the individual and, for radicals, international war is usually not in the best interests of the majority, but civil war in the form of violent revolution is very much in the majority's interests. The paper concludes that the best ways of engaging in or avoiding international conflict can be deduced from each of these general principles.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the realist view, war is caused when two or more nation-states compete for the same resources. These resources may be of any sort. If all of the nations involved are pursuing their own interests, a conflict-possibly a violent conflict-will inevitably result. When this occurs, it is the state's obligation to fight the war in whatever manner is in the state's best interests. This could involve devoting all of the state's resources to the war, or saving some resources on reserve if a drawn-out war is expected. When it is no longer in the state's best interests to fight the war, it must surrender or use another method for the cessation of hostility."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Since Marx there have been several different versions of radicalism, usually termed revisionist ideologies. In particular, some have argued that violent revolution is not necessary to establish socialism. The alternative is a gradual reform of the existing government. This view is less radical in the strict sense of the word, but with regard to political systems 'radicalism' can more generally refer to any system which requires large-scale change of the existing national infrastructure."

"Radicalism of the American Revolution", 2005.

Abstract
A review of Wood's book, which covers the American Revolution and the radical thought that led up to American independence. It explains how Wood indicates where the Americans began to break with the British and how radical thought was common in free Britain, so it is no surprise that American Colonials would continue this type of thought in the New World. It shows how Wood's theories differ from straight history because he looks at the social and economic factors that helped leaders look, first, toward a new Republic and then toward a more radical democracy.
From the Paper
"The author breaks the book down into three main sections that logically follow the steps of the revolution: Monarchy, Republicanism, and Democracy. Within this framework, the author illustrates the differing stages in the American thought process, from breaking with the monarchy, to creating a workable Republic, to finally a democracy that was created for equality for all. Wood's research shows that at this time in American history, Americans were extremely open to change, and they were accepting of anyone who wanted to live in the country. Wood writes, "The truth was, said Thomas Paine in Common Sense, that Americans were the most cosmopolitan people in the world. They surmounted all local prejudices. They regarded everyone from different nations as their countryman" (Wood 223). He feels the ideals Americans used to create their new government may seem "commonplace" today, but at the time they were "momentously radical" at the time (Wood ix). The author uses a variety of research and evidence to reach his conclusions, from papers and books to library research and peer-reviewed journals and thesis. It is clear the author used every available resource to conduct his study, and wanted this book to represent the most exhaustive research on this topic, so there would be no questioning of his results."

Machiavelli?s Radicalism, 2005.
This paper looks at the radicalism behind Niccolo Machiavelli's original writings.

Abstract
Niccolo Machiavelli is often credited with either advocating republicanism or despotism. This paper argues that he was first and foremost advocating radical revolution for a potential Italian state. By comparing Machiavelli's writings in "The Discourses" and "The Prince" with the works of Max Weber, Freidrich Nietzshe, Vladimir Lenin and Napoleon Bonaparte, this paper displays the radicalism advocated in his 16th century works. Furthermore, it links an important level of influence between Machiavelli and the aforementioned authors.
From the Paper
"The creation of a nation-state is the first obstacle in implementing Machiavelli's next more explicit goal, the end of reliance upon foreign mercenaries. As implied, only an Italian state could provide the resources needed to field the manpower requirement to shift from mercenaries to citizen-militias. Machiavelli's ideas about the utility, and experience during the Florentine Republic, of implementing citizen-militia armies was a relatively new notion in Europe. While a shift from medieval knightly warfare began to occur across the continent prior to Machiavelli's writings, the contemporary idea of an entirely conscripted citizen-militias appears to be relatively original. Machiavelli's assumptions seemed logical after his observation of the contemporary Italian situation in which mercenary armies have so defined peninsular warfare. These armies were treated as independent actors and therefore developed new customary rules of engagement. This left the peninsula at a severe disadvantage when it encountered the armies of the other European nation states."

Abstract
This paper discusses American history through a discussion of Gordon S. Wood's book, "The Radicalism of the American Revolution". The paper contends that Wood's reconstruction of the events and social changes leading up to the American Revolution 'shift' the story from one of rage against the King and bloodshed on the soil of the new nation to 'heroic commitment' on the part of Americans to change the monarchy and its paternalism into a republic built on creative new ways to celebrate and define a lifestyle more suitable to free people. The paper also reviews Natalie Zemon Davis's book, "The Return of Martin Guerre," in order to demonstrate different methods of recounting historical stories.
From the Paper
"And while the styles of Davis and Wood are very different - in terms of the recounting of historical events - within the context of the story Davis tells there are two dramatically different approaches to the telling of that tale, albeit the tale has the same plot, characters, setting and themes. The type of approach to the mental world of Bertrande de Rols, the wife who actually collaborated with the imposter Arnaud de Tilh, that Davis offers in her book, Finlay writes, is "radically different" than that of author Jean de Coras' version. This makes a fascinating study into two versions of the same essential story. Coras, on the one hand, was most interested in "the marvelous deception" carried out by Arnaud, and had a "certain admiration" for Arnaud's cunning, Finlay writes (555). Meanwhile, Davis' focus is on the fact that the wife, Bertrande, was actually "Arnaud's accomplice, for she knew that the man claiming to be her husband was a fraud.""

Abstract
This is an analysis of the book "Radicalism of the American Revolution" by Gordon Wood. It challenges how historians previously viewed the American society having been affected by the Revolution and shows that the society was actually much more swept up in the process than expected.
From the Paper
"We Americans tend to think of our revolution as a tidy one. Well mannered and polite even. Some small spots of messy bloodshed on Bunker Hill perhaps, and all those tea leaves floating around making a mess out there in the Boston Harbor, but altogether a genteel affair. Not like the bloody, awful, soul- and country-destroying excesses of the French Revolution (its cloest political cousin), or as bloody, awful soul- and country-destroying as the Russian Revolution or any number of other ones that have come since. We simply told King George that, thanks awfully, but he was no longer needed. But do keep in touch."

Radicalism and the American Revolution, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the rejection by America of the traditional sense of dependence, through patriarchal systems on a legal and social level coupled with other issues, may also have been said to predispose the nation to an early sense of citizenship for slaves and eventually women. The writer examines how radical the American Revolution was and notes that, though fights for equality of human rights were not won easily or without resistance, it was still America who led the way in the western world for universal suffrage among women and blacks. The writer concludes that a reasonable argument could be made that the people in this newly formed country had a generational memory of what it was like to be dependant and without voice, and therefore were inclined to eventually break with tradition and allow the un-propertied men, women and freed slaves the right to vote.
From the Paper
"Another issue that was clearly radical, on the part of the Americans was their desire and real attempt to create allies among other European countries, in the very least to find out how other European countries viewed the American rebellion. To most this would seem a concerted effort on the part of the Americans to create early attempts at diplomacy, as if they were acting as an independent nation already. In the end these early attempts at independent diplomacy, a radical notion in and of itself retained foreign aide from France, despite its early misgivings."

"The Radicalism of the American Revolution
Introduction
One of the more intriguing questions in the field of American history is this: How "radical" was the American Revolution? Historian George Wood believes that the true radicalism of the American Revolution lay in its destruction of an older hierarchical order, i.e., the monarchy, and the development of an entirely new set of normative social relationships that were not primarily dependency relationships, with people tied together by patronage, blood, and kinship.. With few exceptions, Wood was for many years alone in his belief that the American Revolution was a very radical revolution indeed; many other historians saw the Revolution as an essentially conservative rejection not of monarchy per se, but of the ..."

Abstract
This essay discuss the phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism in Indonesia and its links to international terrorists. Considering that the Indonesian Muslims are better to be classified as moderates, this essay also suggests how policy makers should deal with the issue. The first section discusses the emergence of the contemporary Islamic fundamentalist movements in Indonesia and the following section observes the reaction of the majority of Indonesian Muslims towards those movements. Based on the assessment in the preceding sections, the third section will emphasize the importance of the involvement of moderate Muslims in the effort to combat terrorism particularly that is affiliated to Muslim fundamentalists.
From the Paper
"The emergence of Islamic fundamentalism is one interesting phenomenon in post-Suharto Indonesia due to the fact that the vast majority of Indonesian Muslims are widely recognized as moderates. Due to the counter-terrorism concern, further questions could be proposed regarding to the position of fundamentalism among the Indonesian Muslim society and the role of the moderate Muslims in supporting the effort to eradicate terrorism."

Radicalism, 2008.
A discussion of American history during colonial times.

Abstract
The paper discusses the colonial period in American history and covers issues of equality, hierarchy, opportunity and oppression. The paper comments that the specific manifestation of equality and freedom, and of oppression and opportunity cannot be delineated in simple terms. The paper also comments that these concepts as they existed during the Colonial years can also not be described by considering a single set of circumstances or group of people. The paper concludes that it is impossible to say that any of these elements did not exist during the society of the time, or that they played no part whatsoever in the Revolution. Indeed, the Revolution was a convergence of the existing paradigms of oppression and freedom, hierarchy and opportunity.
From the Paper
"Doerflinger turns the focus to the economy of the country at the time. According to the author, business people at the time were more individually focused on making use of the opportunities offered by the new country than on freeing themselves from England. Indeed, business people did very little to incite revolution. In this way, the paradigm of the economic world was much different from the social."

The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover.

The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover. These invaders . . . were regarded as boorish compared to the civilizations of the Near East and Egypt that were already thousands of years old. When these Greeks finally became civilized and developed a flourishing culture, they looked upon others as inferior and barbaric. . . . (Kleg, 1993, 86-87).
It was not until the conquest of nations in Africa that the practice of "chattel slavery" became widespread, and this practice was institutionalized by Europeans in the New World..."

"These definitions help to uncover why White America?s have actively sought to hate others on the basis of skin color. America was built on the backs of Black slaves with their labor, their blood, sweat and tears. Black women nursed and raised white children and were expected to provide for their master better than they could provide for themselves and their families. Black slaves were captured in Africa and made to endure a long trip to America in inhumane conditions. It is said that more people died in the slave trade than during the holocaust. Blacks were sold to the highest bidder on auction blocks like animals and then doomed to a life of torment, toil and pain. Black women were raped. Black men beaten and their children were sold and taken away from them without notice anytime."

Abstract
Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. This form of racism produces serious conflict that can harm morale and efficiency because the problem can remain hidden. Systemic racism, or institutionalized racism, is racism that is built into the system. Systemic racism is the result of interlocking systems of social oppression such as classism, sexism and ableism in the health care system. This paper explains what system racism is and discusses the serious harm it can cause. In particular, the paper discusses systemic racism within the nursing profession and looks at how it is an especially problematic issue with regard to the delivery of health services.
From the Paper
"Workplace diversity is a tremendous benefit, but it can cause serious problems not only for the staff but also for patients and the delivery of care (Aries, 2004). Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. Minority and ethnic groups continue to be viewed as different. "Diversity has become a more pressing issue in the delivery of health services because added to long-standing racial disparities are problems associated with caring for new immigrant populations" (Aries, 2004, p. 173)."
