A question I've been grappling with lately concerns engagement with foreign governments that systematically violate human rights. When foreign governments are behaving badly, should we engage with them and try to encourage reform, or sanction them and cut off ties? Is engagement the path to reform, or does it merely reward bad behavior? While this dilemma is central to many foreign affairs situations, this post will focus on…

Two high-profile Grand Jury cases have returned no indictment on alleged cases of police brutality. Both…

Early September in this year, I took a flight to London to study abroad. Sadly, my English wasn’t good enough to communicate with native speakers naturally; they found hard to understand me. In an attempt to make a progress in English, however, I managed to learn it by travelling and continuing speaking English all the time.
