***The GATT/WTO system has been founded on the fundamental principle of non- discrimation. However, the system has also allowed exceptional cases to this principle through several arrangements. ***The leading examples of these cases are Regional Integration Agreements (RIAs).The concept of regionalization, is associated with the development of the institutional conditions for the shift of goods and production between countries. ***In the center of the regionalization process there is a function of integration groups, which currently are of great importance in the world economy. ***The number, size, and degree of relationships between countries which participate in integration agreements make it an important phenomenon and unique feature of the current phase of globalizationThere are also many different attitudes on the relationship between globalization and regionalism (integration). Some join them, other contradict. ***Regionalism and globalization mutually support themselves in the sense that regionalism is often the stage of globalization.Regionalization may indeed by stimulating the local markets and by creating a competitive environment in the region enhance microeconomic forces necessary for responding to the needs of globalization. However, there are important integration features for the defense against globalization as a process of differentiating and marginalizing some societies. ***In the case of integration we can count on a better protection against volatility of financial markets and against monetary crisis.

****The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or DAISH/DAESH in Arabic), is a militant group that has called itself the Islamic State. ****A terrorist group, as designated by Security Council under Resolution 2170, it has become synonymous with extreme violence directed against civilians and captured fighters. ****The Islamic State, known as ISIS, exploded into the public eye in 2014 with startling speed and shocking brutality. It has captured the imagination of the global jihadist movement, attracting recruits in unprecedented numbers and wreaking bloody destruction with a sadistic glee that has alienated even the hardcore terrorists of its parent organization, al Qaeda. *****Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not "Islamic." No religion condones the killing of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. ****You can't understand ISIS if you don't know the history of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia....For their guiding principles, the leaders of the Islamic State...are open and clear about their almost exclusive commitment to the Wahhabi movement of Sunni Islam. The group circulates images of Wahhabi religious textbooks from Saudi Arabia in the schools it controls.

Americanism is the name of American nationalism. If one asks what the Americanism is, who the American is, It can be explained as "those who feel themselves Americans, can sacrifice themselves for the United States, Americanism and American unity, do beneficial things for the America, Americanism and America unity and endeavour for this purpose, who can shout with his whole existence "how happy am I to say I am an American" wherever they live, be it in America or Antarctica".
