A civil war can be defined as "a war which is fought internally within a nation between differing factions, religious groups, or powers". "Civil war" and "revolution" don't have the same meaning. Many motives could cause a civil war including: Religious clashes, race conflicts, disputes over power or disputes on natural resources .Throughout history many nations have tested civil wars. Civil wars could last for a very long time ("What is Civil War"). The civil war in the United States in the nineteenth century is different from current conflicts in the Middle East. This essay is going to discuss the differences between civil wars in the two regions, types of civil wars, and possible solution for conflicts in the Middle East.
What were They Fighting for in Civil War, and what are They Fighting for in Middle East?
1. Civil war in US: In the United States of America there were different regions; every region has its own format of economy. The northern states' economy depended on factories; workers were getting paid for working there. In Midwest states, economy depended on producing wheat; they used machines to harvest it. In the south, economy depended on producing cotton; farms owners used slaves to pick cotton. Owners didn't pay slaves for their works; they only provided them with homes and food ("Reasons for Civil War").
There was a conflict between the north and the south about new territories. The northern states were free; they "wanted the new territories to be free". The southern states wanted new territories to accept slavery because they didn't want slaves to escape to free territories; they wanted their slaves to be sent back if they escaped there. There was a conflict about if new territories have the right to vote to choose if they want to be free or slave territories. Northern states wanted the laws to be Federal. But Southern states "wanted to make their own laws, instead of the Federal Government making them" ("Reasons for Civil War").
Abraham Lincoln decided to end slavery. Southern states didn't like that decision. South Carolina and other 6 states allied together and created the "Confederate States of America (CSA)". All of these events along side electing Lincoln were the reasons for the civil war ("Reasons for Civil War"). The north or "The Union" won the war (Sweeney). Many opinions claim that the number of deaths because of the civil war reached "700,000" ("Casualties").
2. Conflicts in Middle East: In the Middle East conflicts are located in more than one country. Those countries include Kurdistan, Palestine and Iraq.
1. Kurdistan: The country of Kurdistan doesn't exist; Kurds want their own country. Kurds are distributed between Turkey, Iraq and Iran. None of these countries agree to be the homeland of Kurds. Having a homeland is not Kurds' only problem; religious conflicts also take place between Kurds themselves.

Amy Tan is a Chinese-American writer, who wrote many novels; though one of her famous ones is considered to be The Joy Luck Club. It is interesting to know that many of her short stories included in this book were published separately one from another even before the book in whole was released. This piece of literature is considered a great success as it is being not a simple book, but with the autobiographical background.
The writer’s family background is colourful, and Amy has described much about her mother's and grandmother's past in writing her novel, especially in The Joy Luck Club. The book has been a bestseller for over a year and then was made into a successful movie called The Kitchen God's Wife. So as it was mentioned before, it was the first time Amy Tan has written autobiographically.
The short story called Two Kinds is the last one in Amy Tan's successful book The Joy Luck Club. The writer supposed that her book would be read as a collection of interrelated stories, but it is often perceived as a novel. Several of the stories appeared in the periodical Atlantic Monthly separately. The short story Two Kinds was firstly published in this magazine in February 1989; even it happened one month before the whole collection was released.
The story Two Kinds, like all other stories in the book, is concerned with the complicated relationships between two generations – but particularly, mothers and daughters. The author’s main subject is the nation’s distance between mothers born in China and cut from their native culture for many years, and their American born daughters, which have to balance between their Chinese ancestry and American expectations for gaining the success.
The narrator of Two Kinds is Jing-mei, who resists her mother's great wish to remake her into a musical prodigy. She wants her daughter to be talented and to compete with one of her friend’s daughters. Jing-mei mentions these events after a term of more than twenty years; the writer still tries to understand her mother's intensions.
It is interesting that the mother and the daughter reveal their inner personality with the help of the language, actions, gestures and thoughts. It seems that the conflict goes on between the two women, whose cultures and aspirations do not coincide. It may be said that Two Kinds centers on the conflict between two kinds of women and two kinds of daughters.
These two women - Jing-mei and her mother - are being two different kinds of women, because they have almost opposite life experience. Before America the mother has lost much in China: her parents, her home, her first husband, and two twin baby girls. But she never regretted and looked back at the past. She is sure that America is the country of opportunities. She tells her daughter the following words that express all her thoughts: ‘…you could be anything you wanted to be in America. You could open a restaurant. You could work for the government and get good retirement.

Studying effectively for a class or an exam can be hard. It is easy to become distracted and to not learn what you need. But there are some effective ways and tips for studying to make the most of your studying time.
First of all, make sure you have a good space for studying. The space must be where you will not be bothered by other people or distracted by outside things. For example, studying at a coffee house might seem like a good idea, but if you can not focus because you always want a coffee, or to read a magazine or talk with friends, then you will not get a lot o studying done. The coffee house might not be a good place for you then. Libraries are very quiet and it is hard to talk to other people, so a library can be a good place to study.
Make sure you have all the tools you need to study. Sharp pencils, pens with ink, a calculator, and the right books are important so you can study without being distracted. Having to search for a pencil or a pen will make you waste your time. If you need things for making flashcard, make sure you have everything with you before you sit down so that your mind can focus on thinking of the right things.
Trying to study for a very long period of time or when you are already tired is not a good habit. You should study when you still have plenty of energy. Many students begin studying very late at night when they are already tired and want to go to sleep. It will be hard to remember what you studied if you are tired so don’t start late at night. Also, try to study for short periods that are spaced apart. This keeps the mind fresh and will make it so you do not get tired of studying as quickly. Studying is difficult for the mind and can make you very tired. But if you study for two hours, take a break, then study again, you will be able to remember the information better and stay alert and focused while you study.
It is also helpful to break up your studying in parts. For example, if you have lots of chapters to read and also lots of writing and also a lot of solving problems, you will be more effective studying if you do a little bit of each rather then all at the same time. You can do like this: first read a little bit, do a few problems then do some writing and go back to reading again. By doing this, you force the mind to stay alert and fresh and you won’t fall asleep reading or become frustrated with doing problems or not having things to write.
Sometimes it can be helpful to study with another person. They can help you when you can not find the answer or do not understand something and you can help them also. By teaching someone else, you make sure that you know the information very thoroughly yourself. But be careful because many times they will only distract you and you will talk about social things instead of studying well. If you study with a friend, you might talk about the weekend instead of talking about studying.

A major fundamental basis for the development of motivational theory is premised on the notion of the direct interconnectivity of the integrated wholeness of the human organism. That is to say that, a given behavioral motivation of whatever form needs to be seen within the framework through which a series of human needs are expressed and satisfied. Still within this context it should also be noted that every human act derives motivation from a wide array of factors. In order words the every act is said to be the direct product of a motivation as well which can also be a motivation by itself.
Humans as organisms have a series of needs, which are most often than not competing for satisfaction either in a chronological order or simultaneously. A major question that has engaged the attention of researching psychologists over the years has being how these needs are often satisfied. The outcome of one of such research findings revealed that human needs are expressed in the so-called hierarchies of pre-potency. The underlining logic of this theory is that the expression of a particular need is often built on the satisfaction of a previous more potent need explaining why the human organism is said to be in a state of continuous want. Needs are not independent entities and can therefore not be treated as isolated force.
Drive theories formed the foundational basis of pioneering research that sought to look at the direct linkage of fear as a motivational factor. Among other things a bulk of the pioneering work alluded to the fact that action is a direct product of fear. A cardinal point of the theory is that fear has the propensity to bring out an average drive state. One of the models forecasted that a suitable amount of fear would be persuasive to trigger a drive state in the recipient of any transmitted message consequently sets the tone for drive theories rely on an inverted U-shape characteristic relationship between fear and motivation for attitude change. Notwithstanding the above, a holistic unavailability of support for the inverted U-shaped model has resulted in many of these theories being dismissed.

Recent global developments have given policy makers the world over reasons to question the posture of their individual security policies. The hardest hit by this dilemma is no doubt the United States and her allies, consequently culminating into what some analyst have described as the pursuit of a rather controversial unilateral security policy posture. In a monumental work of scholarly exuberance, Micheal Humphreh’s “The politics of atrocity and reconciliation” throws an unusually deep critique of what the contemporary global order looks like, with empirical reference to United States’ security standing.
In the wider scope, Humphrey highlights a number of themes which however exhibit a conspicuous leaning towards the questions of the impact of globalization on the contemporary cultural and social order. Beyond that, the reverberating questions surrounding the consequences these forces have on the practice of politics in the nation state. A number of disturbing paradoxes are explored here, with an inquisition into the immediate and remote factors that incite extremism and intolerance which is crystallized into violent radicalism by both state and non-state actors. The mention of this brings the United States and her war on terror to the limelight.
In the last few years the level of politically colored acts f violence has ascended over three folds. We read of it happening across, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. In the same vein, efforts have also been galvanized in providing remedying effects by way of policies that will promote the establishment of platforms of reconciliation. A discussion of the success level or otherwise of the reconciliation process seeks to the identities and roles that define what the whole reconciliation process is all about. In tandem to what Humphrey has said then, there is credible grounds to believe that ultimately the process of reconciliation serves the purpose of the survivor to a very negligible scale.
The Concept of Reconciliation
In the annals of human civilization, the concept of reconciliation has been used to loosely describe what is otherwise a complex process of aligning a wounded past to an existing fractured conflicting human relationship. In many ways, it could be said to be ambivalent series of activities that provide a soothing effect. What this analysis presents is that in a typical reconciliation process there is evidence of competing and often conflicting claims of right. In many instances, social and singular interest is subsumed in these matters whereby social good is identified with individual benefit. In a related case, slippage tends to obscure the disparity between singularity and sociality, a laps which cannot simply be bridged (Alcoff & Gray-Rosedale, 1993). In order to make the process of reconciliation more sustainable, there should be considerable acknowledgement of the inherent capacity to weld social reunification on the institutional level with the individual recovery.
