Warfare; *Peace; Politidal Issues; *Security (Psychology); *Technological Advantemmnt; World Problems IDENTIFIERS *Interdependence ABSTRACT The current use and potential of technology for achieving security and peace are explored. Section 1 traces the use pf technology for warfare through the mastery of ocean-going sailing, the maturation of the airplane, and the development of nuclear weapons. This section suggests that these developments haveled to a Loss rather than an increase ,in security. Section 2 discusses the "transparency revolution," which/refers to the military reconnaissance, sensing, command', and communication systems literally wiring the earth with a web of electronic intelligence. Section_3 focutes on current military, strategies; mutually assured destruction (MAD), nuclear, utilization theories (Np), and, according to the alithor'S, personal projection,:' destruction- entrusted automatic devices (DEAD). The differences in ttiese strategies are explained: to start a war ip the MAD era would have required a. major politicalmisjudgmeht; in NUTS, a major human error; in DEAD, a major machinemalfunction. Section 4 outlines elements of planetarysecurity. It suggests that the same transparent technology now pushing superpower military competition to its most dangerous level can-be used to construct an alternativt security syatem. Section 5 promotes' good neighbor, politics. The final section concludes,with the notion that'while technology may have overwhelmed human ethical capabilities, it has not overwhelmed our passion for security.(RC) *****4********************************************?****i*************** Reproductions supplied- by EDRS are.the best that can be made from the original document. - *********************************************************************** U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) This document has been regroduced as received from the persdr; or organization , originating it.

Curiously, this new- way of looking at ourselves has yet to significantly affect thinking about security. Security systems today are more. appropriate to the long but now departed past when socie- ties weretisotated and only occasionally inlcontact with one another, rather than rleighbors in a closed, crowded "lifeboat" earth. "Lifeboat ethics," a powerful rhditation on the meaning of the whole-earth picture, asks the profoundly practical question: What is minimally, acceptable behavior for group survival on,,a lifeboat? How long can "the war of all against all". continue in a lifeboat when antagonists use hand-grenades to secure themselves .against their similarly armed neighbors? The'choices available in a lifeboatand on the .planetare simple and stark: catastrophe, tyranny, a pre- carious stand -off or accommodation. The superpowers, hedging against the fear of world tyranny with almost unlimited 'resources, \ have produced weapons of almost unlimited destructivenesS, The time has come to reduce superpower insecurity, rather than 'build ever smarter, more capable weapons as hedges against it. gie image of great nations becoming "Republics of Insects and rass," the ,grisly visage of 30 million burn victims slowly dying without medical treatment, and political leaders seriously discussing fighting and winning a nuclear war with tens of millions of casualties have made real to many people what .seemedquite'abstract before. To contemplate the rising threat of nuclear war is not to indulge in apocalyptic fantasizing but to keep in focus the.greatestand entirely man-made--threat td human survival. As nucleai war has ecome a. I would like to thank Jack .Cushman, Richard Falk, Richard. Garvin, Willis Harman, William McNeill, Jay Ogilvy, Peter Scbarfman, Paul.gtares and Tom Wilson for reviewing the manuscript, John Pike'an'd Wesley Warren for mans' hours of dialogue on'these issues, and John Foggle, SuSan Hill' and David Macgregor hir assistance in preparing this publication. ! ..* graphic possibility people have become alarmed, and, atleast for the moment, nuclear_armamept has assumed itsrightful place at the center of the political agenda. Anvappreciation of the problem at its true scale geopolitics,-can provide a "big picture" chart on which to plot our escape. Sincethe final days of World War II, an unheralded geopoliticalrevolution has transformed forever the relationship between weapons'andsecurity. It has rendered obsolete the foundations of presentsecurity strate- gies. With the atomic bomb, the ballistic missile, and nowwith earth- spanning sensing, communication and computingnetworks, thebil ity to destroy, transport and target has becomeplanetary in scale. With the advent of planetary warmaking, security strategy,hasbeen based on the militarization of the commonsthe oceandepths, the atmosphere and orbital space. With the enclosure of theplanet by warmaking systen*, security itself has becomeindivisible, a com- mons in its, own ,right. Common security has ceased. beingutopian and unnecessary and become both possible and necessary. The same technologies of planetary informationthat brought us an image of the whole earth are propelling the current arms race.But' these technologies could also form the core of analternative security sy,stem: Understandably preoccupied with weaponsof awesome der structiveness, we have overlooked the increasinglycentral role of nonweapon, sensory, communication and computing technology, in the strategic balance. Applied to the task of illuminatingthe planetary terrain, these technologies have created transparency revolution that is pacing progress in the whole-earth sciences andshaping the .deployment of weapons like the MX; the cruise missileand the missile-firing subinanne. Like scopes on a high powered -rifle,these information technologies have altered the threatof existing weapons making both sides less secureancl precipitated an en- tirely new arms race. At the same tithe', thesetechnologies create a uniqu'e but perhaps perishable opportunity tohave comprehensive, verifiable control of planetary-scale weapons. Ironically, the technologies that make possible analternative security system are bringing the presentweapon.s-heavy secunty system to its, 6 "The: arms race' Only appears intractable and,unScilvab,le becauie practical solufions have,been'tendered taboO by the preVailingbot obsolete-- 7 'ways of thinking." .

    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides hazard profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2006). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. The FEMA definition for flooding is “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties from the overflow of inland or tidal waters or the rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source (FEMA, Date Unknown).” The New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission (NYSDPC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) indicates that flooding could originate from one

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

Philosophy and Policy The ultimate goal is not to impress others, or merely to explore our planetary system, but to use accessible space for the benefit of humankind. It is a goal that is not confined to a decade or a century. Nor is it confined to a single nearby destination, or to a fleeting dash to plant a flag.
