Explain how each of the conservative, liberal, and radical-left points of view understands the causes of war and what each perspective identifies as the best ways to ensure peace. Which approach is closest to your own view? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
- Radical-left view: The solution to militarism is ending the domination of the world by rich nations; eliminating capitalism will end the need for ongoing militarism as well as terrorism.
- Liberal view: Reasonable military strength is necessary, but the United States should seek arms reductions and rely on diplomacy as much as possible. Addressing the grievances of less powerful people will reduce terrorism.
- Conservative view: Maintaining military strength and strong counterterrorism measures will defeat enemies who are set on our destruction, encourage peace, and ensure the security of the United States.
