The motto of UNESCO is, "Since war begins in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the foundations for peace should be sought." How would difference feminism, liberal feminism, and postmodern feminism respond to this statement? Which one, if any, do you agree with? Be sure to justify your selection.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Explain UNESCO's motto.
2. Compare and contrast the three types of feminism and how they would interpret this motto. For example, for difference feminists, war does indeed begin in the minds of men, but the foundations for peace would better be sought in the minds of women. For liberal feminism, there is virtually no difference between men and women when it comes to creating/maintaining peace. Hence, women may be at least as successful as men. For postmodern feminism, such differences between men and women are socially constructed and, therefore, entirely arbitrary.
3. Discuss which one of the three offers a more convincing response to the motto.
4. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
