Describe the religious and political movements that helped inspire this particular form of exceptionalism, and the particular eschatological beliefs that informed its political theology?

Support for a Jewish Presence

From the colonial period on, many American Christians believed in the Providential importance of the Middle East as a place where Jews would soon be restored to their ancestral homeland. Many of these beliefs emerged from American ideas about their own ‘exceptionalism’ as a democratic and Christian people building a new Zion in America, a people likewise destined to assist Providence in restoring the Jews to the Holy Land.

Describe the religious and political movements that helped inspire this particular form of exceptionalism, and the particular eschatological beliefs that informed its political theology?

Finally, in terms of US foreign policy, what positive consequences resulted from these movements? Were there any negative consequences for the future?

What policies, presidential initiatives, or actions did your president create or support in the Middle East region? Why and how were these important to USFP and
Americans generally.

What did the US government learn about Power at this time?Did Faith play any role in its lessons, either Christian faith or Muslim faith as learned from their meeting with leaders like Abd-a-Rahman? [How religious were Adams and Jefferson?]

Impact of Barbary Wars

Ambassador Michael Oren writes: “Few events in the post-independence period of American History had a more transformational impact on America than the Barbary Wars.”

Using Oren’s own title template of Power, Faith, and Fantasy, how would you use these terms to describe some aspect of what the US government learned from its Barbary experience?

What did the US government learn about Power at this time?

Did Faith play any role in its lessons, either Christian faith or Muslim faith as learned from their meeting with leaders like Abd-a-Rahman? [How religious were Adams and Jefferson?]

In terms of Fantasy broadly understood, did Americans come away with any wrong ideas about their experience?

Finally, students often conclude that after Barbary, Americans no longer compromised their core principles by paying tribute to foreign governments in the Middle East (if not to governments anywhere).

Are there other ways in the future that we would learn to compromise American principles or pay tribute to leaders in the Middle East? What might a contemporary version of US tribute look like today?

Were some international actors or people more culpable than others? Did the media play a role here as an early warning system, or worse, as an aid to the killing?

Ghosts of Rwanda

How and why did it happen?
With so much talk of “Never Again” as well as human rights law criminalizing genocide, how and why did so many good, responsible people, states, and institutions agree to do nothing in the face of mass murder? Does the criminalization of genocide actually matter, or does it create more complication than it resolves?

Were some international actors or people more culpable than others?

Did the media play a role here as an early warning system, or worse, as an aid to the killing?

Does the current international norm known as R2P (the Right to Protect) seem a robust deterrent likely to change the desirability of states for military-based humanitarian intervention?

More recently, Yale Holocaust historian Tim Snyder has attempted to explain how so many civilians became complicit in helping Nazis commit mass murder in Eastern Europe. Massive numbers of civilians have been killed in Darfur (beginning in 2003, also referred to as genocide) and the Syrian civil war, with little robust willingness on the part of developed nations to militarily intervene—is there a pattern of conditions or behaviors here that triggers a ‘bystander’ policy for states and international institutions?

Finally, why do you think Christian Churches, statesmen, and NGOs were not particularly different than others in their response to the Rawanda crisis? The Jewish and Christian faith traditions have traditionally asked, “Am my brother’s keeper?”, a rhetorical question signaling our moral responsibility to safeguard the lives of humans as humans. But in cases like these it needs to be asked—why has the organized Church been slow to mobilize? Apart from humanitarian aid assistance, did they mobilize for Darfur and Syria?

2. There is no one perspective that will provide a complete answer to all the issues connected to the study of social change. However, each provides a useful lens for thinking about particular social issues. Thinking about the same social issue through multiple lenses can be a very useful way of analysing it, understanding why it has evolved in a particular way, and developing possible interventions.

So in this activity we ask you to look at a social problem through the lens of each of our three perspectives: Functionalist perspective, conflict theories, interactionist theories.

These social Problems are Racism, LGBTQI discrimination, Violence against women, Lack of women leaders in the work place. Look at these social problems theough the three perspectives with India as a context. (4000 words, 1000 words per social problem)
