Technology, Culture, and Conflict.

These key themes were used to structure this course, and they have each played an essential role in the history of oil.
You are asked to reflect upon the following question:
What roles did Science, Technology, Culture, and Conflict play in the history of oil that we have explored in this course?
In crafting your response, you must support your ideas using evidence and examples from the lecture videos, document analysis videos, required readings, and weekly activities. The more evidence and examples you draw upon in your response, the more grade points you will receive. To assist you in writing this final exam, it has been divided it into five parts, each of which covers a separate theme.
NOTE: You DO NOT need to provide citations for the evidence and examples you draw upon. However, you should make it clear which reading, video, or lecture you are referring to. Generic and/or general statements about “the readings” or “in this course” will not be counted. Please be specific and precise in crafting your answer!
