I became curious of the book Natural Security because I
think the book’s premise falls under two topics I find interesting and care a
lot about. After 9/11, my household, as well as many spread throughout the
United States of America, had a new found patriotism. I have always been
interested to know why our military acts the way it does and if there is any
way for me to tie my interest in biology to make sense of what is happening in
the political sphere. The book appears to be based on the idea that our
struggle for limited resources is similar to that of plants and animals and
that we can use the other organism’s struggles as models for competition and
the military then in turn uses this to create strategy.
Austin, it sounds like you and Antonio had similar responses to 9/11 - it will be interesting to see how you both respond to the ideas in this book, if you think they provide practical approaches for dealing with real-world problems.
