the purpose of...

Well, I'm atually just a beginner student in international politics but I'm nothing but eager in furthering my studies concerning Middle East Policy and Peace Resolution. My particular area of interests is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and perhaps the highly idealistic possibility of some kind of peace accord. I am from Peru but have lived all of my young adult life in South Florida. I attended Florida International University to obtain my bachelors in International Relations and I am currently working in furthering my studies to a Masters and PHD specializing in Middle Eastern Policy. Living in South Florida I find a lot of segments of society lack in a sense of consciousness and are not very politically active in their respective communities. We live in a world that fosters a great deal of inequalities on all levels and though that may come as no surprise to anyone, what have you done to make it better? That is a question that I keep at the top of my mind at all times, no matter how little the contribution, the sprouting of political interests in our communities today is what will eventually lead to social movements and to US regaining control of our lives. It is so easy to become desinsitized, to just allow for our leaders to make decisions for us just as long as our basic needs are met; it is precisely however that degree of complacency that I found the root of the problem in society today.
