Problem: The Legacy of Nuclear Contamination in the Marshall Islands Essay
The book Bravo for the Marshallese, by Holly M. Barker, tells the story of how residents of the Marshall Islands have been affected by nuclear testing conducted there by the U.S. government during the twentieth century. In this essay, I'd like you to do two things, using evidence from the book to support your analysis.
In the first part, discuss in detail three ways that Marshall Islanders have been affected by the legacy of nuclear contamination. Also discuss in detail three strategies that Marshall Islanders have used to cope with, mitigate, or gain redress from the problems caused by nuclear testing.
In the second part, reflect on what this case can teach us more broadly about inter-cultural conflict and how to manage it. In doing so, I would like you to discuss relevant lessons for one of the following armed conflicts occurring in the world today: (i) the Russia-Ukraine war; (ii) the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict; (iii) the role of Saudia Arabia and the US in Yemen's civil war; or (iv) the armed conflict in Sudan. In your analysis, briefly describe the current conflict and cite one or two media reports from reputable sources (e.g., major news outlets such as The New York Times, Al jazeera, etc.). Then discuss how we might apply some of the lessons from the Marshall Islands to better understand or manage armed conflicts happening today.
