Answer to Question 1

Answer: gender

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Outline what realist and liberal theories are.
2. Compare and contrast the two theories. If possible, students should include discussion of nation states as main actors, the anarchy of the international system, and state self-reliance, on the one hand, and mutually beneficial cooperation, democratic peace, the building of norms, regimes, institutions, etc., on the other hand.
3. Explain using the key terms, mentioned above, of each theory to expand upon the strengths and weaknesses of each theory.
4. Students should utilize the details they've explored to this point in the exercise to outline which theory is the most accurate picture of today's global politics.
5. Conclude with examples to support your argument, which might include nations which exemplify either or each theory: For example, perhaps Denmark on the side of liberal theory, and/or North Korea on the side of realist theory.
