The document summarizes key points from two books: The Second World by Parag Khanna and The Next Hundred Million by Joel Kotkin. For Khanna's book, it discusses how the U.S. needs to become more active in international relations and make agreements with other countries to gain profits and better foreign relations. For Kotkin's book, it predicts that over the next 40 years, the U.S. population will grow by 100 million people, minority groups will become the majority, and the Hispanic population will be the largest ethnicity. Kotkin believes growth within communities and cooperation between all Americans and countries will help the U.S. prosper.Eitzen13e.chapter12.lecture.ppt 193994

This document summarizes key points from Chapter 12 of the textbook "Social Problems, 13e" which discusses crime and justice. It covers three main learning objectives: 1) defining crime and examining crime rates and demographics, 2) how the US justice system is biased against certain groups, and 3) potential solutions to reduce crime like investing in prevention rather than incarceration. Key topics include how crime is defined, crime statistics, those most likely to be arrested, an unjust system with discriminatory laws/policing, high incarceration rates, and breaking the "cradle to prison pipeline".Eitzen13e.chapter6.lecture.ppt 193988

The document discusses the changing global power dynamics between the United States, China, and the European Union. It argues that there is no longer a single global superpower, but rather a "triple power" shared between these three entities. Countries like Kazakhstan are now courted by all three superpowers for their natural resources and strategic location. China in particular is described as aggressively pursuing economic and political ties throughout Asia and beyond to expand its influence.Communism v3

Communism was founded in 1912 by Vladimir Lenin and was based on the principles of equal rights and pay for all. It sought to establish a single-party system led by the Communist Party. While communism still exists today in some countries, it collapsed in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union between 1989-1991 for several reasons. The Soviet debt from Chernobyl and people moving to capitalist nations contributed to its fall, as citizens grew tired of limited economic freedom and equal pay.Unit 6 notes 2

This document summarizes urbanization and urban problems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded housing, increased crime, and problems with infrastructure like sanitation, water, and fire safety. New technologies allowed for mass migration from farms to cities. Social reformers worked to address these issues through policies, organizations like settlement houses, and drawing attention to problems through photographs of urban poverty.Second life

John Connor Sanders analyzed the American middle class from 1980 to present using data on household income, homeownership costs, occupational scores, and standard deviation of income. He found that real income has stagnated since the 1970s while costs have risen. The typical household income in 1988 ($51,017) was similar to 2013. Many new jobs are low-paying retail positions while high-paying tech jobs lack qualified domestic workers. The standard deviation of incomes has increased, indicating the poor are getting poorer and rich richer.AP U.S. History Exam Study Guide

This document summarizes and compares the perspectives of two books - "Second World" by Parag Khanna and "The Next Hundred Million" by Joel Kotkin. Khanna argues that the influence of the US is declining while the EU and China's power will rise. However, Kotkin believes that continued immigration will revitalize the US by bringing its population to over 200 million within 50 years, maintaining its status as a young, vibrant country through diversity and entrepreneurship. While the books have differing viewpoints, the document concludes Kotkin's vision aligns more closely with America's history of renewal through immigration.Themes from the next hundred million by joel

2) Parag Khanna argues that countries interact in dynamic ways beyond static geopolitical borders. He cites the EU as blurring boundaries between nations and sees Russia as exemplifying this 'second world' of countries between first and third worlds.
3) Both authors provide credible analyses by drawing on knowledge of history, current trends, and reasonable projections, with Kotkin being an experienced demographer and Khanna exemplifying borderless interaction through his own background.Fire Burning Essay Spm. Online assignment writing service.

It summarizes that the treaty ceded Mexican territory above the Rio Grande to the United States, including California, for $15 million. The discovery of gold in 1848 sparked the California Gold Rush and rapid population growth. During this period, about 1 in 9 men died on the journey to California seeking gold. Economic troubles during the Great Depression led many agricultural workers to flock to California, though wages dropped significantly.Book report 1

The document summarizes and compares two historical novels: Azuela's The Underdogs and Carr's The Alienist. It notes that Azuela represented Mexico's unstable early 20th century government through the power struggles between leaders like Zapata and Obregon. Carr represented late 19th century New York through characters, places and how the plot unfolds, addressing issues like police corruption. Both authors relied heavily on actual history to inform their fictional stories, using figures like Roosevelt and social issues of their times to educate readers without overtly stating facts.Diplomatic relationships

Cuba maintains diplomatic relationships with several countries. Venezuela and Cuba have a strong alliance, with Venezuela exchanging 90,000 barrels of oil per day for Cuban medical specialists. This relationship has increased tensions with the United States. China has also strengthened economic ties with Cuba in recent decades, becoming Cuba's second largest trading partner through investments in industries like petroleum and agriculture. In contrast, the United States maintains a trade embargo and has been unwilling to restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba since the 1959 revolution.Music among cuba

Cuban music is a blend of influences from across the world, especially West Africa and Spain. Santeria, an Afro-Cuban religion, greatly impacted Cuban music through its use of various instruments in religious songs. Some key types of Cuban music include Mozambique, Cuban jazz which has African origins, Yoruba sacred music featuring bata drums, and bolero dance music. Common Cuban instruments include the cornet, valvetrombone, ophicleide, bata drums, guiro, congo drums, and maracas.Cuba

Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean by land area, with varied terrain including plains, mountains, and marshes. The population is descended mostly from Spanish and African ancestors. Culturally, Cuba is known for music genres like salsa, baseball as the favorite sport, and architecture showing both Spanish colonial and American influences from the 1950s. Politically, Cuba struggled for independence from Spain for hundreds of years and had its economy dominated by American business interests until Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959 established a communist government and led to ongoing tensions with the United States.Urban

1) New York City may be losing its status as the nation's economic capital to rising cities in Southern California, the Bay Area, and Seattle due to the digital revolution and these cities' leadership in industries like technology and media.
2) While New York faces stiff competition, Mike Clough believes the experience New York has developing a vision for America's economy will help maintain its status, as seen by companies like AOL-Time Warner keeping headquarters in New York.
3) Emerging global cities like those in Asia have the potential to experience unprecedented growth but also face challenges from issues like providing adequate energy and managing large wealth gaps between urban and suburban residents.

- 3. America vs ChinaBecause the countries such as China are limiting their population by laws, their countries will start seeing a decrease in their population which will not help their economyKotkins believes that with Americas population almost doubling other countries, it will help the economy be stronger and more efficient Khanna sees China as competition in the future and does not see their powers limiting
- 4. Summary of KhannaThe Second World compares and contrasts the three leading powers in the world todayAmerica, Europe, and ChinaAlthough these countries have different economies, they are all intermingled and rely on one other He breaks down the second world countries and determines their strengths and weaknesses from the inside out
- 5. KotkinKhannaOptimisticSees other countries decreasing population as decreasing threatsHas hope that America will regain its strength back and become better than beforeRelies heavily on statistics for his hypothesisPessimisticLooks into other countries and their threats Offers reasons as to why America has already seen its better days and its power is not going to increaseUses his experience to determine his hypothesisKotkinvsKhanna
- 6. Second World CountriesSecond world countries such as eastern Europe, central Asia, South America, and the Middle East are rising on the economic power scale Khannabelieves America, Europe and China should not downsize their roles in the futureBecause the three countries have so much influence on each other, he believes that by the mid 21st century, other developing countries will also be in competition standards and something to prepare forKotkin does not examine or take into consideration second or third world countries in his book His outlook towards China and Europe are not anything to be feared as in Khannas outlook
