speeches from these important men. I heard all of these speeches before but never took the time to actually sit and analyze and understand everything they were saying.

I have made mistakes‚ but as Hugh White said "When you make a mistake‚ don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then

For this assignment‚ I chose to review chapter 21 from the Global Politics handbook‚ written by Naeem Inayatullah. The chapter talks about the question: Why do some know what’s good for others?
