Incirlik Air Base in Incirlik, Turkey

 Incirlik Air Base in Incirlik, Turkey


Incirlik Air Post is a large US military base with a strategic location. Because the facility is in Turkey, it is operated jointly by the US and the Turkish governments. The construction of the building began in 1951. Throughout history, the base has played a significant role. Because of its proximity to Russia, it was a crucial location for the US administration. At the same time, the location proved suitable for dealing with Middle East crises in nations such as Israel and Lebanon. The United States government does not consider Turkey to be a secure country, owing to its huge Muslim population. Because there are 750 homes in the area, there is a finite amount of space. The majority of soldiers are automatically hosted, with no need for applications or anything. The purpose of these bases, according to the hegemony cycles, would be to propagate its liberal ideals, and as a true hegemonic state have an impact in the politics and economy of the region. Because of the power gained by the United States through world market control of investment, both economic and political, having military power in other territories would complement the hegemonic cycle. This with the purpose of reconstructing the hegemony in case of world wars.

Store policies.

     Store policies.  My job does not provide me with a set schedule because it varies every week. Most days, though, I get up at 6:00 a.m. to get dressed and drive my younger sister to high school. Later, I either return home or drive straight to work. I return home after my 8-hour shift to rest a little before preparing dinner. I work in customer service, therefore I have to deal with and obey a lot of strange shop regulations. For example, if a customer has the receipt and the product, I can't refuse a refund, even if the item is a dead plant or a three-year-old light bulb. I'm new to this job, and despite my training, there were still things I didn't know. For instance, a few weeks ago, I was requested to work in the garden section. However, before I could change, I had to tell a few employees that the shop had possible thieves. Unfortunately, they had already stolen $1,000 worth of stuff when I arrived in the garde...

Mexico City

  Mexico City is the most urbanized city in Mexico and, as a result, the most polluted city in the country. Urban regions are a major source of CO2 emissions and are also the locations that consume the most energy. The Mexican government is currently having an agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to develop financially viable projects such as a solar energy project in the city's largest market, an examination of alternative waste management technologies, assistance with the development of the Integrated Public Transportation System, and energy efficiency projects (González, 2019). Agents of the government, multilateral development institutions, and the private sector have all been encouraged to provide more assistance to the government in order to help combat climate change while creating more possibilities for economic growth. Because of this, I think Mexico City is a great example of top-down politics. Even while they work to alleviate the horrible effects o...
