Purpose: To explore the current state of political policies, media coverage and military events initiated by western countries against key African and Middle Eastern countries that have now created an environment of instability.
Design: The substance underpinning this paper will be newspaper articles, news reports, several documentaries and book research. It shall be compiled to clearly present a logical sequence of events.
Methodology: A study of western political policies and media coverage will be studied, examined in an effort to ascertaincause and effect, and its ultimate impact in shaping the present atmosphere of insecurity that is emerging across the West.
Approach: A thesis predicated on the promulgated notion of 'sustainability' and how it has traditionally connoted impoverished, third world countries will be established. How war-like events occurring in key African and Middle Eastern countries have bred a climate of insecurity and fear, resulting in Western countries now being concerned about whether they can maintain their quality of life will then be examined.
Keywords: sustainability; maintenance; security; insecurity; Islam; media; politics; western.
