I essentially discussed the need for security as term to be expanded from the tradition meaning due to the increase in globalization in recent years. Globalization is the reason for many issues that are affecting people daily such as, poverty, climate change, and rights. Humans physical and physiological needs are no longer being met, and I based these needs on Maslow's pyramid of needs.
As I reflect on my essay I have to say that I still agree that security as a term must be expanded. However in my essay I discuss security in a global sense, however I believe now that these human needs must be considered in national security. Wæver's article states, "National security is fundamentally dependent on international dynamics" (2). This encompasses what I was trying to get across in my essay and, somewhat, failed. I found a connection with the changing world due to globalization and the need to expand what is a security issue. Globalization has created more threat and this international atmosphere affects nations. Therefore as Wæver put it, national security is dependent on this globalized world. This is why we need encompass these new threats in our addressing of security.
