The Evolution of Our Social Views on War

Essay: The Evolution of Our Social Views on War Consider three major wars from the past 75 years: WW II, Vietnam and our current War on Terror (Iraq/Afghanistan). How were each of these wars viewed during their times? Do you think media played/plays a part in that social perception? Let’s also consider the issue of humanization and dehumanization – how did/does that play a role in our social views? Lastly, consider how we have treated Soldiers coming home from each of the three wars. What has this done to Soldiers as a group and to us as a society? How should we treat war today? Papers will be a minimum of 2 pages in length (not to exceed 4), with 1.5 spacing, 12-point font, 1 inch margins on all sides, and include a reference page (not included in the page count). Any and all information provided in your essay must be substantiated with facts; that means you need to cite your sources. Every essay assignment needs to have a minimum of three outside sources in addition to your textbook. Also note, Wikipedia is NOT a valid source
