I have now come to the end of my course and I feel I have learnt a great deal. It has at times been frustrating trying to get an academic head on after so long since last being at college. This was not helped by the course being a bit disorganised at times. Anyway one thing it has done is made me even more aware of world affairs. I feel that prior to the course I was reasonably world savvy, but now my eyes have been opened even wider.
It is worrying to think that we live on a knife's edge, with the western and eastern worlds in such delicate balance. I wonder what the world will look like after the current credit crisis, will the western powers still be in the supremacy or will the sleeping tiger come to the fore. Is the current crisis going to be anything like the Great Depression or are the media just trying to scare us to sell papers?
I sometimes wonder what we will see during the rest of our lives. Will their be resource wars as natural resources dwindle or will we find more efficient ways of producing the energy we need. All in all I think that for at least the next fifty years we will live in interesting times.
