Examples of domino theory in the following topics:
-
- In 1954, Eisenhower first articulated the domino theory in his description of the threat surrounding the spread of communism.
-
- Eisenhower explained the escalation risk, introducing what he referred to as the "domino principle," which eventually became the concept of domino theory.
- It speculated that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect.
-
- He did believe, however, in the Domino Theory: that if one country came under Communist rule, neighboring countries would soon follow.
- President Johnson believed in the "Domino Effect" and escalated America's involvement in Vietnam.
-
- It dealt with U.S. concern over communism's domino effect and it mobilized American economic power to modernize and stabilize unstable regions without direct military intervention.

- Pragmatism, a philosophical movement during the 1870s, is a philosophical tradition centered on the linking of practice and theory.
- Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition centered on the linking of practice and theory.
- It describes a process in which theory is extracted from practice and applied back to practice to form what is called intelligent practice.
- Active process of theory generation with no prior assurance of truth

- Journalist Ashley Smith divides theories of the U.S. imperialism into five broad categories: (1) "Liberal" theories, (2) "social-democratic" theories, (3) "Leninist" theories, (4) theories of "super-imperialism," and (5) "Hardt-and-Negri-ite" theories.
- A "social-democratic" theory says that imperialistic U.S. policies are the products of the excessive influence of certain sectors of U.S. business and government—the arms industry in alliance with military and political bureaucracies and sometimes other industries such as oil and finance, a combination often referred to as the "military-industrial complex. " The complex is said to benefit from war profiteering and the looting of natural resources, often at the expense of the public interest.

- Genetic evidence found in Paleo-Indians' mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) supports the theory of multiple genetic populations migrating from Asia.
- Coastal or "watercraft" theories have broad implications, one being that Paleo-Indians in North America may not have been purely terrestrial big-game hunters, but instead were already adapted to maritime or semi-maritime lifestyles.
- One theory suggests people in boats followed the coastline from the Kuril Islands to Alaska, and then down the coasts of North and South America as far as Chile .
- One theory suggests that Southeast Asians followed the coast lines from the Kuril Islands to Alaska.
- Map of early human migrations based on the Out of Africa theory
-
- A number of scientific studies into genetics, time-dating, and paleo-environmental data have been conducted to test these theories.
- Genetic evidence found in Amer-Indians' mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) supports the theory of multiple, distinct genetic populations migrating from Asia.
- The first is the short chronology theory, with the first movement beyond Alaska into the Americas occurring no earlier than 14,000 to 17,000 years ago, followed by successive waves of migration.
- The second approach is the long chronology theory, which proposes that the first group of people entered these continents at a much earlier date, possibly 50,000 to 40,000 years ago or even earlier.
- The archaeological record in the Americas is divided into five phases according to an enduring system established in Gordon Willey and Philip Phillips' 1958 book Method and Theory in American Archaeology.

- The trial instigated
by the American Civil Liberties Union was mostly for show, but had major
implications for the issue of whether modern science could be taught in public
schools by pitting the Fundamentalist Christian belief of Creationism against
the Theory of Evolution.
- The ACLU recruited Scopes, 25,
to purposefully incriminate himself so the case could have a defendant by using
a textbook chapter that described the Theory of Evolution on May 5, 1925.
- Prominent attorney Clarence Darrow spoke in
defense of Scopes by presenting the Modernist argument in favor of the Theory
of Evolution.
- Based on research in Charles Darwin’s 1859 book, On the Origin of Species, the theory contends
that man developed over millions of years from other biological organisms, including
apes (hence the nickname "Scopes Monkey Trial.")
- As the anti-evolutionist movement
died out in the mid-1930s, biology textbooks began to include the previously
removed evolutionary theory.
-
- This "mudsill theory" supposed that there must be, and has always been, a lower class for the upper classes to rest upon.
- James Henry Hammond, a wealthy Southern plantation owner, described this theory to justify what he saw as the willingness of the non-whites to perform menial work: Their labor enabled the higher classes to move civilization forward.
- In this view, any efforts toward class or racial equality ran counter to this theory and therefore ran counter to civilization itself.
- Senate advocating the "positive good" theory of slavery, declaring that slavery was, "instead of an evil, a good—a positive good."
- Calhoun and other pre-Civil War Democrats used these theories in their proslavery rhetoric as they struggled to maintain their grip on the Southern economy.
