Adrian, posting through Nathen:
Other than to consider the perspectives of others (since we've studied
nothing but extremely depressing conflicts), I've also learned to take
note of the discrepancies between opinions and facts. Time and
research, as this class has proven, eventually leads to our discerning
the truth amongst what may (or may not) be wrong. Otherwise known as
lies, for those who aren't already aware.
Of course, this stretches through our entire academic career of going
through what pertains most to Global Connections – case studies. In a
sense, you could call it the class development of natural intuition
into being able to tell if an alibi doesn't hold by confronting their
issues (and how they frustratingly bend around court laws) – from the
Twinkie defense claiming insanity to the Scottsboro boys and Victoria
Price's claims of rape. This, in my opinion, is the most important
concept I've picked up on in the duration of this class throughout the
year.
