Part 1: Discussion. This should be at least 200 words.

This is your last discussion post.  Feel free to enter final thoughts on the content of the class, or as usual a post about the news or the readings

Additionally – dated 8/18/19

More food for thought…this discussion is based on what you’d like to talk about, however, if interested, I found some very interesting articles this weekend regarding two very important historical events, and one current event  –

And the last article I’ll share is related to a current situation, and attuned very closely to what we’ve been talking about –  violence against women and the migration crisis:

You’re free to comment on these as you’d like….
