Discussion Eight Overview

We have made it to the end of our course but not the end of our story. History is the story of those that came before us. It was people just like you and me that set the historical stage for what comes next, and that is where our part of history starts – right here and now. As we have spent the past eight weeks examining where we have been, we spend our last looking at where we are now, imagining where we can go, and deciding how we set the positive precedence for our future. We each have a part to play. The actions we do today will be the history they talk about in the 22nd Century. What legacy and stories do we want to leave for future generations? We are each the player in our life journey and life is about enjoying the experience of being alive. History helps us see that our journeys are our own, but we are never truly alone.

The Hero Path We have not even to risk the adventure alone for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known … we have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we had thought to find an abomination we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outwards we shall come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone we shall be with all the world.”  ― Joseph Campbell

The Cold War ended over a decade before the 21st century began. What was supposed to be a “Brave New World” free of the threat of nuclear conflict and a long period of peace and prosperity has been less than what was expected. Yes, communism as a threat to the world and to the dominance of the United States and capitalism has come to pass, but even though the threat of war from the USSR never materialized (thankfully) a new threat did rise up to challenge the U.S. and the West for control. The rise of radical Islamic groups bent on destroying those they call infidels, especially the United States and Western Europe have caused more than a little death, destruction, and despair to a world hoping those threats had ended (Wiesner-Hanks, Ebrey, Bec, Davila, Crostwon, & McKay, 2018).

Instructions For the initial post, address one of the following:

[Order Now]

• Option 1: Why wasn’t the U.S. and its vastly superior intelligence and military able to stop these attacks? How effective are current measures in dealing with attack prevention? Have we really learned from past mistakes?
• Option 2: What new problems did the Iraqi War cause for the U.S. and its allies around the world? What effects has it had on the U.S. economy?
• Option 3: How much more difficult is it to battle an idea or faith, even a violent one, skewed and brutal than to defeat a nation in war like the U.S. and its allies did during World War II? Consider the role technology plays in the dissemination of faith.
• Option 4: Compare European imperialism to current globalism. How has each changed society, both in industrialized nations and developing nations? Is the claim that globalism is a form of imperialism valid?
• Option 5: Where do we go from here? Who will the best friends and the worst enemies of the United States be in the coming decades? Will we really, finally achieve that peace and prosperity we all hoped would come to pass?
