This is a good trend. You're thinking about important issues, learning about how to conduct good, responsible research, and contributing to the class discussion more than usual. Nice work.
The things I want you to remember about the classes of the last couple days? We live in complicated times, and there are not always clearcut answers to complex issues. Should we come to the aid of victims of genocide? Are we legally obligated to stop genocide? Can we even afford to help those whose human rights are being violated in plain sight of the world?
Perhaps the most important point about our discussion: seek out answers to these difficult questions yourself. The mini-research sessions we conducted in class are an example of this. If you can cultivate the habit of researching on your own, rather than being told (by the media, the government, or even your teachers) what the answer is, you are well on your way to being truly well-informed.
Now blog about that!
