CNX 153 - War and Peace
Description
Why do we go to war, and seemingly so often? How can we work towards a more peaceful world? In this course, we examine how causes of conflict, the laws and moral considerations of war, the way states pursue their foreign policies, and tools for ending war are not just a theoretical concept but part of our ordinary lives. This course will introduce you to the analysis of primary sources, close readings, oral and written analyses of eye witness reports, films, and journalistic coverage to explore theories of war as well as trends about how warfare is portrait in the media, the academic world, and our ordinary lives. We will also explore how common stereotypes impact peace and arms control movements, and analyze, develop, and articulate substantive arguments whether certain countries can inherently be more peaceful than others.
