Question: LIVING IN AN INSECURE WORLD

Here are the concepts that were discussed in this lesson. Review each word and, in your own words, explain what it means.

• Traditional approach to security
• State sovereignty
• Human security

What I mean is very simple. This is an opportunity for you to think carefully and slowly about what we are studying in a given week. We often ask you as students to problem solve, strategize, or think “critically” by identifying problems or issues, but we rarely ask you to step back and let your mind wander over a topic that has caught your imagination, or that may be made you uneasy because of its implications.

What I want to see you do is engage in an older, more personal sense of thinking than what we often do today. As Hannah Arendt, one of our authors in this course would say: thinking can involve entering into a dialogue with yourself, asking questions about what it is that has caught or bothered you, and exploring those questions on your own, interacting with your own thoughts away from group activities and discussion boards.

Assessment criteria and submission requirements

you must submit a minimum of 2 entries of at least 750 words each (though there is no maximum length).
