International Politics in TV and Film
Instructions:
A new discussion board to our course site: International Politics in TV and Film. You can find this discussion board by clicking on the Discussions link on the left hand side of our course site.
The purpose of this discussion board is for you, the students, to share and discuss TV shows and Films you find interesting that relate in some sort of way to international politics, or better yet, to IR theory (even if only in a small or limited way). This might be in terms of the story or even the outlooks/perspectives of the characters.
For example, while a film like Lord of the Flies might not seem political, we might find examples of anarchy and realism in the plight of the stranded characters.
Assignment 1: International Politics in TV and Film
Please use this discussion board to share and discuss TV shows and Films that in some way deal with the international politics or IR Theory. This discussion board is required.
Assignment 2:
The assignment asks for you, the student, to reflect upon your own intellectual growth over the course of our session, writing a 1/2 page to 1 page response on that topic. That is obviously very open ended. What I’m looking for is serious thought and reflection, not any sort of “right” answer. The question prompt will offer a bit more detail.
