I think this is how i'm supposed to do this response paper!?

There is no real way to completely eliminate global conflict. If there were, we would be a lot closer to finding it by now. All the ways that have been suggested to completely unify the world both politically and culturally have been met with some resistance by one group or the other. While the methods of Globalization suggested in the Dell Theory are feasible, they are not entirely practical. They suggest that we eliminate global discourse through more or less homogenization, assuming that every country that is interconnected with product activity and or single common interests. While this outcome suggests a utopia, we cannot expect that every party involved is going to agree on the methods of unification.
So far, much of The World is Flat has agreed with the ideas of International Studies today. It suggests that the world is becoming unified while still having its own cultural boundaries; however, it suggests that we try and cut those boundaries that make us unique nations, and veers toward the idea of some IS specialists that the world will eventually be one giant country. If through the Dell Theory and the theory of the Golden Arches we can better create a unified world, all the better, but it is very unlikely that because of product similarity/interconnectedness alone we will achieve a unified world without any efforts of other peacemaking. IE if the only thing we have in common or can agree on is economy, the unified peace will not last very long.
As far as my understanding of the topic goes, the best way to eliminate the excessive violence between countries is, ironically enough, understanding. Countries that fight because they feel threatened, or wish to threaten do so because of an innate fear of the unknown. Is this country a threat to me? Should something be done about it? or How long has it been since we showed some muscle, just as a warning? are oftentimes reason enough to go to war. If we as a global community could increase global understanding and decrease the gaps of "unknowns" between countries, perhaps we could make it easier to cohabitate and thus become less inclined to resort to violence.
