    Papers back
    Mini-lecture: quick review of evolution and explanation of where this reading came from, who wrote it, and
    important background
    Read “Gods of War” by Dominic Johnson (15 minutes)
    Whole group:
    -How does this compare to everything else we’ve read? Is it more or less effective?
    Small groups:
    -Do you agree with what he’s saying? Why or why not?
    -Johnson touches on many things we’ve covered in class (e.g. patriotism/nationalism, propaganda, conflict, resources). Make some comparisons and examine what Johnson says in light of our discussions and other readings. Does Johnson have different points? What is he missing? Does he make any point clearer?
    -What about that chart? Like? Dislike? Reasons?
