The sinking was part of the German attack to the British submarine because the British established a naval blockage to the navy of Germany.

Why is the ability to check power essential to american society?
malfutka [58]

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely” (1887). Indeed, the concept of power can have decidedly negative connotations, and the term itself is difficult to define.

Sociologists have a distinctive approach to studying governmental power and authority that differs from the perspective of political scientists. For the most part, political scientists focus on studying how power is distributed in different types of political systems. They would observe, for example, that the United States’ political system is divided into three distinct branches (legislative, executive, and judicial), and they would explore how public opinion affects political parties, elections, and the political process in general. Sociologists, however, tend to be more interested in the influences of governmental power on society and in how social conflicts arise from the distribution of power. Sociologists also examine how the use of power affects local, state, national, and global agendas, which in turn affect people differently based on status, class, and socioeconomic standing.

Many scholars adopt the definition developed by German sociologist Max Weber, who said that power is the ability to exercise one’s will over others (Weber 1922). Power affects more than personal relationships; it shapes larger dynamics like social groups, professional organizations, and governments. Similarly, a government’s power is not necessarily limited to control of its own citizens. A dominant nation, for instance, will often use its clout to influence or support other governments or to seize control of other nation states. Efforts by the U.S. government to wield power in other countries have included joining with other nations to form the Allied forces during World War II, entering Iraq in 2002 to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime, and imposing sanctions on the government of North Korea in the hopes of constraining its development of nuclear weapons

How would followers of the three philosophical traditions in China react to the idea that “all-men are created equal”?
andrew-mc [135]
First you must look at what a 'philosophical tradition' is! It is best described as philosophy- the love of knowledge and learning, and traditions- something passed on from predecessor to the modern generation. These 3 main traditions are also known as the religions Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, strictly followed in China, almost as one. Within these faiths are strong moral values that the Chinese follow; stay in good standing in society with those around you, keep a deep and pure respect for others, and to have a connection to the earth, which sustains all life. Now to tie this knowledge into the question, the Chinese believe whole-heartedly in equality, as shown by these traditions. So, they would react positively, since "all men are created equal" is basically the whole backbone of the way they thrive as a civilization. I hope this made sense :)
