Conflict – Reflection intervene in a sovereign state to manage conflict

Write a short 400-to-500-word reflection essay, that addresses or elaborates on the below questions. Be sure to justify your answer (you may draw on your own experiences or knowledge and current events as well as the readings). Since this is such a short essay, there is no need for a formal opening and conclusion paragraph. Rather, use your limited word count to answer the questions and raise any that you hope to explore this term. 500 words is not much, so write concisely and try to keep your response focused. Reflection essays are NOT a reading synopsis exercise. It is a chance to discuss your impressions, reflections, or associations of the week’s content or consider its applications. The concept of international norms, particularly in determining when the international community should intervene in conflict, was a key part of your reading this week. Norms in many ways can be similar to values; for example, values can shape how we as individuals believe the world “should” be, how states and leaders “should” act, and what justice “should” look like. How do your values shape how and when the international community should collectively intervene in a sovereign state to manage conflict? Keep in mind that this is a very short essay on a complex topic, so you might choose one value that is most important to you and think about how it shapes your views on this topic.
