International Politics :: essays research papers

Political Science to me is something of a cycle, which is attached to the worlds account statement and is an ever-changing science of communication at a state and national level. This cyclical process is also attached to my personal adoption of political ideologies, i.e., as times change, as well as my surrounding environment, as an individual, I am forced to adapt to my milieu, rather than a rock smashing done stubbornly regardless of the damage it may cause to all disrupties. I am not talking of conformism, rather the adoption to my political and social surroundings that would best serve in the interests and security of the community at large. To provide the reader of a greater understanding to this ideology perhaps entails that I better a small personal example. I come from a diverse background that allows me to understand history and politics from many perspectives and which has made me less prepossess than the average man. Born in England, to a Turkish Father and a Britis h Mother, and having lived in England, Turkey, as well as Canada has broadened my vision of the world to a great extent. This is of course excluding the many political conferences that I have at run awayed and the many countries I have visited around the world.An example of an assignment which required the last(a) patience and the most open of minds was at a Model UN conference in Philadelphia I was assigned to represent Greece on the issue of Cyprus, being part Turkish one can understand what open mindedness that took. To do such a thing required the total adoption of what is the opposite of my historical perspective. except in doing so, this has brought me an understanding of international relations, conflict and interests. This brings me to the ideology that I believe is most prevalent in the worlds state system of todays Realism. more people view this ideology as a somewhat pessimistic view of the world and tend to believe in greater harmony and cooperation. These tend to be the idealists known to us as the Social Democrats of Europe, the Liberals in Canada, and the Democrats in the United States.Realism at this time and point of history seems to be the material way that things are going amongst states. Alliances (rather than friendships) are formed and balances are created. These Alliances are not there for anything more than security and self-benefit, of course the other half of an bond certificate definitely must fulfill its interests as well or else no alliance would be possible.
