Week 8 Discussion: Brave New World
Option 1: Why wasn't the U.S. and its vastly superior intelligence and military able
to stop these attacks? How effective are current measures in dealing with attack
prevention? Have we really learned from past mistakes?
Option 2: What new problems did the Iraqi War cause for the U.S. and its allies
around the world? What effects has it had on the U.S. economy?
Option 3: How much more difficult is it to battle an idea or faith, even a violent one,
skewed and brutal than to defeat a nation in war like the U.S. and its allies did
during World War II? Consider the role technology plays in the dissemination of
faith.
Option 4: Compare European imperialism to current globalism. How has each
changed society, both in industrialized nations and developing nations? Is the claim
that globalism is a form of imperialism valid?
Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will the best friends and the worst
enemies of the United States be in the coming decades? Will we really, finally
achieve that peace and prosperity we all hoped would come to pass?
