Mama and Okazawa-Rey Conclude with the Perspective on "Genuine Security

question 24

Essay

Mama and Okazawa-Rey conclude with the perspective on "genuine security as being based on a respect for human life as a foundational principle of politics and economics," not a cycle of war-and-peace that is based upon an engineered crisis that results in profit for a few at the expense of the loss of innumerable lives and a ravaged land. Are human beings too fixated on militarism? Would all of the violence related to militarism decrease should the emphasis be shifted to something that is of a more intrinsic value? Discuss what the intrinsic value can be with a group of friends and write a short response paper based upon the group's idea/s.
