Military defense, democracy, and cybersecurity in contemporary global threats

¶ … Strong Military

DEMOCRACY & the IMPORTANCE of a STRONG MILITARY

The importance of a strong military cannot be denied and this is particularly true in a state of Democracy and in a country that cherishes its freedom from oppression from other powers in the world who would if possible, tread upon that freedom if not for the presence of a strong military defense.

PRESERVATION of DEMOCRACY

The work of General Hugh Shelton and John H. Dalton (2009) states that Americans "have always answered the call to service: to defend against powers who would threaten our security and to fight for the cause of peace in times of conflict." p.1 as stated by General Shelton and Dalton the world today is dangerous and this certainly while fading from focus as the Cold War ended once again has emerged as critical since the events of September 11, 2001.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

Democracy, or the right to live in peace while being a fundamental human right is all too often unknown to many places throughout the contemporary and global society. Because the world is so interconnected due to rapid globalization and integration of society, then it is not reasonable to believe that the threat of war will not affect the United States even if that war is on the other side of the globe.
