Overview
I'm working on a political science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Discussion Prompt:
How wide, deep and broad should definitions of security go? What would you include and what would you exclude? Do you think there's a point at which defining security too broadly has a downside? Explain your answer.
