As well as, the side effects of the United States’ actions had to the Iranian people. The research paper will also include the 1979 Iranian revolution in which the people of Iran overthrew the Shah, and in its place, they installed the Grand Ayatollah. So the paper will not only look examine U.S. sources during the cold war that pertain to this topic, but also commentaries by scholars who argue that the U.S.’s imperialistic policies helped contribute to the harsh regimes in Iran that would cause the U.S. to pay more attention to the Middle East than ever before. My central theme I want to explore is the harsh side-effects of U.S. capitalistic imperialism it has had in foreign countries after WWII. The reason for this research is because of the overall confusion the public has on the issue of Iran. In which, many news outlets, and other forms of media have portrayed Iran as an evil nation, without even explaining the history behind it’s recent actions and internal struggles. The purpose of this paper is to show, that it was America’s imperialistic policies that not only helped increase religious radicalization, but also show that the Iranian outrage toward the U.S. is not without justification. I write this research paper in hopes to not only further my own understanding of U.S. foreign relations in the Middle East, but also, to show that our actions affect the actions of other nations.

I also give a brief description of how Zen's influence is permeated in Japanese contemporary media (anime to be specific). I explain that besides the aesthetic qualities, anime also allows the plot to help serve as a vehicle to start a philosophical dialogue with it's audience. I use a currently popular Anime called Himouto! Umaru-chan as a catalyst for philosophical inquiry.
