Okay so, no, Thursday’s class did not specifically focus on educating us any more about current and past international issues. For over an hour, all the class did was bicker back and forth. We bickered about the reasoning for how the seating arrangement worked out the way it did and then we bickered some more about how we could have done things differently as to make our entire experience less violent. However, I think that what many of us are failing to realize is that, as we entered Thursday’s class, we were thrown into a mock world crisis. Yes, I know that this so called “crisis” was extremely unrealistic, but I feel that each one of us are informed enough about legitimate international affairs to fill in aspects of what was left out in class and to discard the factors that were too absurd to matter. For, in doing so, I think that all of us can then apply what we experienced in class to how and why things happen the way they do in our world and society today.
I personally enjoyed the class. Actually, I thoroughly enjoyed class. Beyond what I thought it taught us about how different nations communicate and offer aid to one another, I thought it taught us a lot about each other. It was interesting to see how all of us, many of whom would like to spend their lives actually working in the field of international relations, chose to reason with one another. We each bring something so unique to the table and I think that Thursday’s class really emphasized that. I can't wait to see what the next class brings!
