Unit Essay: A New World Order

A New World Order
Throughout the Cold War, the West had dramatically overestimated the strength and vitality of its communist foes, and the late 1980's saw the advent of the unthinkable: a complete collapse of Soviet Union and the virtual collapse of the rest of the communist world. By 1991, after 46 long years of opposition, the Cold War was finally over, and US President George H.W. Bush commented that the world was witnessing the rise of a "New World Order". Consider what you have learned about the developments and issues of the modern, post-Cold War world, and write an essay of 600 words or more explaining what this New Order President Bush spoke of is.
Some possible topics to discuss in your essay:
The suggestions above are only suggestions, and you should feel free to discuss whatever you would like in the essay. Basically this is an essay about the modern world. What is the New World Order? Who is in control and/or what is important? What are the economic, political, and social realities for America and the planet in the 21st century? As you sit down to write your essay and consider its organization, remember that you are basically trying to describe the world of the 21st century.
