“Obama’s Pivot to Asia Policy Touches the Dragon’s Inverted Scales” by Yuri Nishiyama
During the time the United States was involved in wars with Iraq and Afghanistan and simultaneously faced an economic crisis in the early 2000s, China’s economy grew at an unprecedented speed, surpassing that of Japan in 2010 to become the world’s second largest economy. In response to the changing power dynamics caused by China’s rise, President Obama announced in 2011 his “pivot to Asia,” a rebalancing of U.S. strategic interests and military resources toward the Asia-Pacific region (Tong). Although the pivot reassured America’s Asian allies of its renewed commitment to the region, this U.S. policy initiative deepened the strategic distrust between China and the U.S. Strategic distrust in a bilateral…

“Voting in The Modern World: Examining Media Habits to Create a Relevant Guide for the 2016 General Election” by Krystal Lau
Over hundreds of voter guides exist in the United States today; they vary in content style, substance, and medium–including print, podcast, and video (Ballotpedia).

“A New Relationship with Death: A Synthesized Experiential Portrait and Analysis of Mid-Fourteenth Century Medieval European Society’s Reception of, Responses to, and Reflections on the Black Death” by Diane Bani-Esraili
Chapter I Introductory Remarks, A Synthesized Experiential Historical Approach, and Statement of Purpose Spanning the years between 1346 and 1353, a dreadful disease swept over Western Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, causing cataclysmic loss of life both in the countryside and in towns and cities. So graphic and deadly was this plague that the great contemporary Florentine author Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) legitimately worried that future generations would mistake historical eyewitness accounts of the event for tall tales. In a correspondence with a friend, Petrarch wrote: “O happy posterity, who will not experience such abysmal woe and will look upon our testimony as a fable.” The reference here…
