Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Define isolationism as the belief that the United States should stay out of world affairs.
2, Define internationalism as the belief that the United States should actively engage in world affairs.
3, Identify the main similarity between isolationism and internationalism, which is that both are grand strategies that dominated U.S. foreign policy at one time.
4, Identify the main difference between isolationism and internationalism, which is that they are essentially opposites. Isolationists want the United States to stay out of world affairs, while internationalists want the United States to be heavily involved.
5, Note that isolationism held sway prior to the twentieth century, but that internationalism has been dominant ever since.
6, Outline the internationalist grand strategy of containment during the Cold War, in which the United States played an active role in containing communism.
7, Explain the internationalist grand strategy of the Bush Doctrine, which said that the United States should preemptively attack countries if they are viewed as a potential risk.
8, Argue that Obama's foreign policy is more internationalist. Two examples of Obama's internationalist foreign policy are the military involvement in Libya and in Afghanistan.
9, Make and defend an argument for either isolationism or internationalism.
