Assignment: Policemen of the World Thesis and Outline
By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in international relations. Some have argued that the United States military functions as the world's police. This assignment covers the manner in which this shift occurred and the consequences the United States faces as a result of its status as policemen of the world. Using the Internet and reputable news sources, research two real-life international incidents from the past five years in which:
• The U.S. used military action abroad.
• Controversy existed within the American public regarding U.S. involvement.
• Controversy existed within the country or countries affected by U.S. involvement.
Part 1
1. Write a thesis statement that is two sentences long in which you:
a. State your thesis on the significance of the current role of the US military, as exemplified in the two real-life international incidents that you have researched. Justify your response.
For the first part of this assignment you will create a thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself.
