Answer to Question 1

Militarism is a social focus on military ideals and an aggressive preparedness for war. Core U.S. values such as patriotism, courage, reverence, loyalty, obedience, and faith in authority help to support militarism. Militarism involves an ideology that perpetuates societal activities directed toward military preparedness and enormous spending on weapons production and defense as compared with other national priorities. Sociologists have proposed several reasons for militarism. The economy is one example. People who see capitalism as the moving force behind the military's influence believe that government officials enhance the status, resources, and authority of the military in order to protect the interests of private enterprises at home and overseas.
