The Life of a Twenty-Something...growing up.
This blog will take you through my post-collegiate life, as I embark upon a new career, and face different and often difficult challenges of becoming a young, independent, Pakistani woman in the United States.
It will chronicle my (hopefully short time) moving back home, how I am going to adjust to it after living away for four years....
this should be interesting.
ramblings
I find it completely mesmerizing reading my old Political Science notes, learning about political theories that try to explain the governance of our world. I find it completely fascinating the way that realist theory has become so popular; so popular that people often forget that this is simply a theory and not reality. or is it? The world’s only superpower invade Iraq, Afghanistan, and is on the verge of invading Pakistan and Iran. This was all in response to the September 11 actions. This behavior epitomizes realist theory—the united states essentially felt that since there is no dominant power that will give security and peace to the rest of the world, that they must step in and become that power and protect their borders, protect themselves. Are they wrong for doing so? States exist under anarchy in the world, so the united states feels it should step in and be that dominate power and protect itself. Are they wrong? I have split opinions on this…I feel secure residing within its borders, yet I see the pain and agony of mothers who lost their children, and widows who lost their husbands.
