Law is good and bad depending on how you look at it. In law an interplay between choice and constraint-you are either an actor, who is making the choices, or a victim. We need to move from idea that law is based on different morals. One way to deal with it is to take values and ideas out of it.

I need a short to medium 1-2 paragraphs to answer each of these two questions:

1.) Does the US policy (last 75 yrs) of exporting democracy still have partial applications today or with the rise of international tensions suggest the UN and democracy are fleeting notions and unattainable today? Remember that democracies are in the monitory within the collection of the state governments in existence today.

2.)Only need one of these answered, I don't care which one:
a.) Positive nationalism is define as, "proper love for one's country". The US foreign policy has long promoted the spread of US style democracy, which is positive nationalism, is our style of democracy workable in country's that have moral values different from ours? Or, is our style of democracy uniquely American and un-reproducible?

OR

b.) They say "Nations" have certain requirements, but how will the US or any other nation maintain nation continuity with such large influx of immigrants that do not adopt or respect that nation's beliefs? The Syrian refugees are causing issues in Europe even after being accepted with open arms; is there any reason to think those same types of issues will or won't occur in the US?

The classical sociologists Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Karl Marx all saw capitalistic endeavor as being a potential source of discontent in society. Each posited a different solution to the problem. Durkheim wanted to make sure workplaces became locations of positive social interaction, Weber sought to have people take pride in specializing within a bureaucratic organizational structure, while Marx thought capitalism was a failed system and tried to replace it with Communism. How has history made capitalism not so bad in the 21st century?
