From 1914 through the present, the United States military has developed into an international police force. To justify this, our leaders have often stressed the need to defend our freedom at home and to protect others from oppression. Using specific examples discuss how America has responded to various treats to freedom (both real and perceived) since the outbreak of the First World War. Do these treats justify America’s rise as a worldwide leader? Please focus your answer on international developments since 1914. (Please include at least one example from WWI, WWII, the Cold War, and post-ColdWar events).
THE UNITED STATES MILITARY DEVELOPMENT
After the First World War began in 1914, the United States proclaimed a policy of neutrality despite President Woodrow Wilson’s antipathies against Germany. Early in the war, the US started to favor the British and their allies with 1452 soldiers stationed in Europe. The regular army was backed up by the 27000 troops in the National Guard. The United States had no process in place to build a mass army, supply it, transport it and fight it. Continental European powers had a universal military service program in place, and when the war broke out, reservists-already trained-went to their mobilization points and joined their units. This is how the US build the military during World War 1[WW1]. Whether Americas treats justify its rise or not, expansionism was always in Americas DNA as a country founded by the expulsion and slaughter of American Indians, and the debate as to whether it should go further or not when it reached the pacific coast came to the fore after the war, which removed the principle barrier to expansion. The United States is the worlds most connected and pivotal power, and will remain so.

Data Protection and Privacy App users place an implicit trust on any app that they install on their mobile devices and it is essential their trust is not violated in any form. Therefore, data protection and privacy is a fundamental legal consideration when developing a mobile app, any failure of which can have devastation consequences on the business. From a purely data protection point of view, an app is subject to identical guidelines as those of websites and other online businesses. Therefore, the app should contain a comprehensive, clear and accessible privacy policy so that if the app collects data such as the name, contact details, location, unique I.D. or other information of the users, or if the data is to be retained and/or shared with third parties, it is with the permission of the user. Critically, if the app is to be used on a multi-country basis, it will need to comply with the data protection laws of all of the countries in which it is downloaded and used. For instance, there are very strict privacy requirements under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which specifically deals with apps that are likely to attract children under the age of 13 as users. Advertising Any app generally raises the same advertising law considerations like those for websites, e-mail or other online and networked communications. For example, all communications sent through or in connection with a mobile app must comply with: the Telephone consumer protection act(TCPA) and related Federal Communications commission rules. The TCPA notably provides for private causes of action and high statutory penalties for violations.
