Contemporary World Politics: Security in the Contemporary World

Question:

In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.


Assertion: Security relates only to extremely dangerous threats- threats that could so endanger 'core values' that those values would be damaged beyond repair if we did not do something to deal with the situation.
Reason: Every single threat counts as a security threat as Human existence and the life of a country are full of threats.

Options:

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Correct Answer:

The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Explanation:

Every single threat is not a security threat as our world would be saturated with security issues if we took such a broad view of what is threatening. For Example- Every time a person steps out of his or her house, there is some degree of threat to their existence and way of life. This can not be identified as security threat for a nation.
