1st year university course. Issues in World Politics is the name of the course. My prof gave us one of the questions on the test so we know what to expect. He expects it to be 1-2 paragraphs.

” Provide and explain 2 reasons why the process of decolonization in the 30 years after WW2 was so important for international relations today”

Any poli sci experts out there want to lend me a hand?
btw, i’m just looking for a point or two to help me get started….not for you to answer the entire question for me.

Why do so many people become instantly hostile and defensive when discussing politics?

Sonia M asked:

I am a liberal democrat and my boyfriend is a conservative Republican. We haven’t killed each other (yet). I happen to think that open, friendly debate between differing political parties can be a healthy, productive thing. Unfortunately most people I talk politics with get really testy if I don’t immediately agree with their views. Maybe the old saying about the impossibility of changing a person’s view on religion or politics is true. What do you think? Thanks for your time and input.

How do you feel about discussing politics to an unregistered voter?

Sharon F asked:

During a discussion about the recent debates with an acquaintance, I learned that she was not a registered voter. This is someone in her mid 30’s and also did a few years in the military. I was a bit turned off with continuing the conversation. Do you think a person who is unregistered to vote has a valid opinion and a right to discuss politics? Her excuse for not registering is that she’s just not into politics. Valid or invalid excuse?

Hi, I just need a little help on figuring out the good and bad of increased participation in politics? I’m not talking about the presidential election, I’m talking about state and local things,like public decisions, ie: taxes, budget increases, new rules/laws. I need professional answers, thank you.

Is it fair to avoid general gender issues the same way one might avoid politics and religion?

IamSpock asked:

Discussing politics, religion, and gender issues is very risky, especially within romantic relationships. Is it kosher to just encapsulate your views in a positive way and just move on to other subjects when they come up with the one you’re dating?
Good points so far. Thanks.
Jenny, cute avatar and great answer. Thanks.
