Compare and contrast conflicts of interest and conflicts of ideas as presented in the textbook. Which of these types of conflict is more serious (i.e., difficult to prevent and likely to lead to armed conflict)?

What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

European textbooks were revised after World War II to reduce ethnic and national stereotypes and to give a fairer portrayal of Europe's various nations. What about the textbooks you used to learn your country's history?

Did they give an accurate picture, or did they overstate the virtues of your own ethnic group or nation at the expense of others? How?
