Assignment:
Please provide brief responses to the following questions, based on your own reading of the Learning Resources:
1. According to Kartchner, in what sense can strategic culture be a "culprit"?
2. According to Jeannie Johnson, a Cultural Mapping Exercise (CME) is the basic building block of "Cultural Topography" research. How are the four dimensions of "identity," "values," "norms," and "perceptual lens" defined and factored into this analytical framework?
3. What is Adamsky's concept of "cognition," and how does it explain variations in the approaches to radical developments in military thought and technology in the U.S., Russia, and Israel?
4. From the Adamsky reading, explain the distinctions between "high context" and "low context" cultures.
5. What are some common themes that emerge from your review of the "Definitions of Strategic Culture" table provided in Table 1.1 of Kartchner "Defining and Scoping Strategic Culture"?
