Below are statements found in your textbook. Please answer the questions following the statements.

1. Can we devise a scheme to help us understand the variety of political games? Several classifications are possible. Figure 1.1 offers a scheme in which the games are seen as ranging across a destruction-accommodation- conversion continuum. At one end of the continuum are games aimed at complete destruction of the opposing player. These games are marked by deadly conflict and war. Violence, including terrorism and torture, is prominent, and political, economic, psychological, and military instruments of force are used to exercise power. Why is it that these types of games take more time to find better solutions for?

2. Adolf Hider also illustrates a twentieth-century pattern of destruction. He, too, killed high-ranking party members who had helped him come to power. He, too, destroyed all effective political opposition to his rule. His barbaric campaign of destruction led to murderous onslaughts against Germany's neighbors, to slave labor for millions forced to work for the Nazi war machine, to concentration camps and death for millions of Germans and other Europeans, and to the Holocaust (the systematic killing of 6 million Jews). Who else in history has exhibited a pattern of destruction like Hitler?

3. At the other end of the continuum are games characterized by the peaceful conversion of the opponent. This pattern of politics stresses voluntary agreement and emphasizes free choice. In this pattern, even a majority decision may be ignored if the majority deviates from the claims of conscience. Love, conscience, and reason are the instruments employed in games of conversion. If games of destruction rely on arbitrary dictatorial edicts and games of accommodation rely on constitutional majority rule, then games of conversion look to unanimous agreement. Players of the game of conversion for example, religious groups such as the Society of Friends (Quakers) may seek to exercise influence (a version of power), but such influence is based, they argue, on truth and love rather than on majority rule or physical force. Can you think of other religious groups that may seek to exercise influence but influence that argue on truth and love rather than on a majority rule or physical force, much like the Quakers?

4. The modern era of international terrorism emerged primarily out of Europe and the Middle East, with a variety of groups crossing national borders to carry out high-profile terrorist acts in order to maximize visibility for their cause. During the latter part of the 1960s and through the 1970s, groups such as the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Italian Red Brigades, and the West German Red Army Faction carried out a large number of spectacular terrorist acts chat involved airline skyjacking and kidnapping of high-profile hostages. Probably the most famous terrorist act prior to September 11 was the attack at the 1972 Olympic Games in Germany when the Palestinian group Black September seized and murdered eleven Israeli athletes. Are there many terrorist groups that still come out of Europe? Some people feel that most ones that are talked about nowadays are from the Middle East.
