Describe World Systems Theory and Ethnonational conflict

 I need a minimum of 50 words per discussion questions

 Discussion 1

 Describe World Systems Theory and Ethnonational conflict.  How do these two themes help modern sociologists understand racial and ethnic conflict? 

 Discussion 2

The conflicts outlined in Ch. 16 of Racial and Ethnic Groups are examples of ethno-national conflicts. How have the actions or inactions of the United States affected these problems? Give at least one specific example.

Discussion 3

 Describe the history of the Jews in Palestine and the early beginnings of the Jewish/Palestinian conflict.  This relationship is an ethnic conflict, not based in race, but ethnicity.  What role did Great Britain play in the early beginnings of the conflict? 

Discussion 4

How does the power of the Canadian federal government differ from the power of province governments? How does the power of the U.S. government differ from the power of state governments?

Discussion 5

We have a very different relationship with our neighbor to the North than our Southern border neighbors.  Why do you think that is?  How does race play a role in our relationships with both neighbors?  Define multiculturalism and how Canada is more diverse than we think.  Why do you think Canadians would want a stronger sense of national unity?
