Call for contributions

Wikiversity needs quality essays on the question of war.

Here are some questions to ponder as you select your topic: What mechanism causes people to live peacefully with their neighbors but choose war with those living in distant lands? What problems do political boundaries cause? What problems do political boundaries solve? What is the purpose of dividing nations by political and geographic boundaries? How do nations enact laws? What are different types of governments that have the most political power in various nations?

Outstanding Project and a request for someone to judge one essay

• Art and War is especially moving.
• Winning the War on Terror was too long for this curator to read. If you don't feel like writing an essay, perhaps you might wish to judge this one and leave comments at Talk:War Seminar.
