So far in Political Science we have debated trees vs grass (#treeswin), planes v trains (choo choo), pancakes v waffles (waffles are too gentrified), and swimming v running (swimming might get you a rock hard body but it’s dangerous). Between discussions about Hindu nationalism in India and religious freedom in Quebec, we contended with the intricacies of a nuclear meme war between the US and North Korea. We learned about how social media may skew perspectives, and we also discussed gun control, specifically as a health crisis and a crisis between fact and emotion.
