300 word discussion post

Humanities

In discussing the concept of violence this week, let’s take a moment to consider the following situation.

Imagine a country where religious factions inside a nation want to have their own separate homeland. The government refuses, claiming that the territory in question, which commands the nation’s only source of clean water, is vital to security. Is violence inevitable? This discussion question focuses on ethnic violence.

Along with your textbook reading for the week, here’s some additional reading to consider about ethnic violence:

Jean-Marie Guehenno, “10 Conflicts to Watch in 2017,” Foreign Policy, January 5, 2017.
