1. I find the conflict paradigm more insightful.

2. Theoretically the conflict paradigm explains how the world functions not as a whole but as separate entities that are trying to be the most powerful. The most recent evidence to support this would be the events of September 11th. Also racism, inequality and religion are good examples.

3. Theoretically the order paradigm would be considered weak because of the conformity. People would almost have to live like robots and be unopinionated. The empirical evidence to oppose the order paradigm is obvious....we are in the middle of a war.

4. I support the conflict paradigm because I feel that everyone has a right to fight for something they believe in.
