Questions: Please answer each of the questions below. Your response to each question should be 2-3 paragraphs (300-500 words) written in your own words. However, remember that as part of the response to each question, you are expected to integrate at least two appropriate direct quotes from the required reading material associated with that question. 1. Dr. John A. Rees, in Chapter 9 in McGlinchey, poses the following questions. “Does the rise of religion and culture in international affairs encourage a clash or a dialogue? Do religious and cultural elements of politics enable us to live together in cooperation or do they disconnect us in ways that lead to conflict?” (Rees in McGlinchey, 2017, 110) From your perspective, please answer the questions posed by Dr. Rees and include multiple situations in international relations as examples of your comments. Also be sure to include specific details from the chapter and other related course material. 2. Please select two of the following issue areas. • Poverty & Wealth (McGlinchey, ch. 10) • Protecting People & Human Rights (McGlinchey, ch. 11) • The Environment (McGlinchey, ch. 15) • Food Security (McGlinchey, ch. 16) First, describe the key/core elements of each issue as it currently exists in international and global relations. What are the issues’ most important characteristics and most critical problems associated with them? Then, discuss the relationship between the two issues. How do they have an impact on each other either in positive or negative ways? Finally, what is one possible way in which the international community could address the issues, either separately or simultaneously? Please use specific material from the text and examples to support your comments.
