Paper instructions:Identify one conflict that has touched your life, either directly or indirectly, that has global implications. (Make sure it’s something you feel comfortable sharing with both your instructor and another student.) What makes it “global”? Describe the different groups, parties, or institutions involved in the conflict. What sorts of cultural factors have influenced the conflict? What sorts of political systems are involved, and where does their power come from? What is the economic basis of the conflict? (For example: Do certain resources hang in the balance, and if so, for whom?; How is the conflict financed?; Is anyone profiting from it?; And so on.) Consider Arjun Appadurai’s, Fear of Small Numbers (Files attached). What does he suggest are some of the roots of global conflict? Are any of these relevant to the conflict you’ve just described? Consider his distinction between “vertebrate” structures and “cellular” structures. Do either of these models describe any of the parties involved in the conflict you’ve described? Why or why not?
