Paper

(1) Select one specific theory already discussed in the class and write about how the turn of events in the reference material would challenge (or reinforce) that theory. (Theories such as Realism, Liberalism or Constructivism)

(2) Discuss how the turn of events in the reference material would affect component parts of the many theories we discussed (i.e. a zombie apocalypse would likely challenge the notion of anarchy between states promoted by Realism, as states would likely unite under one-world government to fight the zombies on a global scale and develop a hierarchical order based on military strength.  Whereas Constructivism would likely be better suited to explain a zombie apocalypse because as the zombie apocalypse took place it would challenge historical forms of identity between states and as they began to cooperate to survive would no longer necessarily see themselves as competitors in a world of limited resources, but rather compatriots in a fight for survival.  Thus, it would be able to be able to better explain what would likely be completely reconstructed notions of identity between distinct states across the world. With regards to Marxism..."

3) You can develop a completely new theory that could explain the turn of events in the reference material.  Creativity here is welcome!  Do not worry about sounding academic or abiding by the strictures of academic writing.  I will grade based on creativity and imagination...so have fun with this route if you so decide to select it.
