Why does our country have an army?!

The real reason for maintaining armies is the same reason why some men buy expensive sports cars... overcompensating.

Seriously, think of armies as insurance. Even if it's small, amateurish, and under-funded, it's likely to give potential bullies a little pause. (Of course, a big country like Iraq can sweep up a little country like Kuwait in no time flat, as we all know).

Part of the answer is social/ economic/ political inertia. The military is part of the playground for the elite and privileged. (I use the word playground as in "fork over your lunch money, weakling.") Who wants to get rid of their army just to balance the budget? I sure haven´t seen "fire soldier-boys" on any IMF or World Bank wish lists

A lot of countries, fragile democracies, say, find armies to be an effective tool to use on internal "problems." In a pinch, a loyal military can keep your nation away from chaos. On the other hand, they work equally well to keep dictators in power.

<span>Many countries do get a lot more mileage out of their armies than Iceland or Costa Rica could possibly get. Obviously, a lot of African countries find them pretty handy.

Also, keep this quote in mind 
<span>"It takes two countries to maintain peace and only one to make war"</span>

How is a field experiment similar to a lab experiment?
mylen [45]

the internal validity is still manipulated by the researcher and the DV is measured.

The DV is a variable that is being measured/observed, whereas the IV is a variable that is altered to see how it impacts something else. The term "dependent" refers to the idea that the IV will have an impact on the DV.

<h3>What parallels exist between studies conducted in a lab and those conducted in the field?</h3>

Since experiments are the only way to reliably establish causality, laboratory and field experiments are comparable in that they are both helpful in determining cause and effect. Furthermore, because there is a high level of control over confounding variables, the two experiment designs have the potential to have high internal validity.
