TRIBES AND TRIBULATIONS

This module is focused on the different conflicts that are taking place
across the globe today. The module will draw upon students’ previous

knowledge of current affairs, geography and history and it will also
build upon it greatly. The unit will look at various conflicts ranging

from violent inter-state battles between Pakistan and India or the

Palestine-Israel conflict to more local disagreements such as; the
Northern Ireland Troubles or those fought out through the courts and

protest such as the construction of the M3 motorway around the

Boyne Valley. While looking as such case studies students will be
given a brief introduction to the type of conflict, the scale on which it

is played out over, the causes of the conflict, the consequences of the
conflict before finally looking at the outcome of it or the attempts to

find a resolution. Students will be required to and encouraged to

complete further independent research into the conflicts to help
further their knowledge of the battle and form their own opinion on

which side if any they support. Students will be shown while looking

at these case studies that both History and Geography play a central
role in these conflicts, students will be shown how far many people

are willing to go to defend or maintain the history and geography of

their regions.
