Before or after the class (better before so that you are free for holidays!)
Watch (at least) one of the following movies:
1. Day After (1984):
2. Threads (1984)
3. The War Game (1965)
After you watch the movie, consider whether anything that you have learned during your studies so far was somehow useful for a deeper understanding of some aspects of that movie. Then write your reflection to the forum – a reflection of the movie from a standpoint of someone who has expertise in International Relations / Security Studies.
WARNING: All three of these movies contain highly disturbing, violent images (particularly the "Threads" movie, which is brilliant but likely the most horrifying movie I have ever seen). If you prefer not to watch any of these movies, read the attached article on the "nuclear taboo" and write an academic reflection of it instead.
