One of the most frightening social problems is that of war. Unfortunately, human history has been characterized by innumerable wars, wars costing millions of human lives, and inflicting suffering almost beyond calculation. Of course, wars do not happen in isolation. Sometimes we fail to see how other social problems play a role in the genesis of human wars.
Your mission in this assignment is to analyze war in the context of two other social problems covered in Modules 6 through 8 (covering chapters 10 through 14 and associated videos). Your analysis will demonstrate how these two other social problems can result in war between nations. Your essay will follow the following format:
• Introduction – introduce the mission of the essay and what will be covered.
• Describe the first of the two social problems you have selected.
• Explain how this social problem can ultimately lead to war.
• Describe the second of the two social problems you have selected.
• Explain how the social problem can ultimately lead to war.
• Provide your own assessment as to the likelihood of either or both of these social problems eventually leading to war between countries.
• Conclusion
• Reference section – in APA format
In your essay you must present plenty of information from the course material, both written and video, to support your analysis. You will be presenting information from Module 9 on war (chapter 15 and video material), as well as information from the chapters from which you have selected the two social problems you chose. Do not use information other than from the course material for this exam. As was the case for the midterm exam, this exam is designed to give you an opportunity to display your understanding of and ability to apply the course material. Make sure to fully develop each section of the assignment. I am looking for solid critical thinking that uses evidence from the course material in your analysis
The essay should be a minimum of 800 words. Naturally, the best essays typically exceed the minimum.
Make sure to cite and reference the information you present in each of your essays. There should be plenty of citations and a reference section at the end of the essay. I have provided plenty of guidance to help you with citing and referencing in APA format in the “Helpful Resources” section of the course in the “Writing Resources” folder. Also, here is a link to additional information provided by Troy University to help you with any questions you have about APA citing and referencing.
