Hypothesis: By being involved in foreign affair we are opening up ourselves to having our national security attacked. Which leaves us wondering is it better to leave us out of other countries problems and have them face the problem to protect ourselves and our people.
In Syria there are many problems going on such as terroristic attacks as well as the people wanting a new face of the government. The US has had a long history with helping out with foreign countries and ending up going to war after so why risk our people when we can stay out of it and keep our citizens safe
Some problems that can occur by getting involved
- Going to war
- Having these terrorist go after us
- Bring in harmful people to the country
- Causes more problems in our country
- We have many problems with getting involved with foreign affairs
- We would be responsible for housing these people
- Not sure who is coming in what harm they bring
- Already have other problems too worry about rather than the safety of other countries
The only reason US would really get involved is to show off that they are still a powerhouse in terms of military strength and to just improve their economics, because getting involved in war has been known to bolster one’s economy.
Hypothesis 1:
We already have problems with being attacked by terrorists in the past recent years that have devastated many american lives and still to this day are trying to figure out a way to prevent these actions, why would we get involved with others problems that may lead to another attack from terrorists due to the threats that they feel are coming.
I believe that we should mind our own business and should figure out how to fix our own problems since there are many other big issues to deal with before we go cause more problems, if we really feel the need to have a helping hand maybe we ask a country who has all there stuff together to help them out in return for a reward or a deal.
Cause/effect
- Get involved, chance the possibility of being attacked
- Don’t get involved, we can fix other issues and cause less stress and worry for the people of America
- Don’t allow these people to come in, protect our people from some of the nasty people who would bring in the sick ways to hurt our people
Definition/Class
A flaw could be if a country really needs our help and we don’t get involved how could it affect the rest of the world and would it show that the US isn’t a powerhouse like they used to be.
- I feel I have made good progress just need to have a little more ideas to help prove my point and clarify my argument. I have many quotes on government ideas of being involved with foreign affairs as well as the people. So i believe I have some good info just need to bring it all together.
