Final Presentations

Last of the final presentations... 
    Meghan's presentation was an excellent introduction to the American media's portrayal of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.  Great thought to look specifically at politician stances on the subject, Meghan!
    For his presentation, Michael read some poetry which referenced the conflict - and the history of the conflict in the region.  Since the class has not previously looked at poetry, this was particularly interesting and some of the poetry was so poignant...
   Addy's presentation was helpful in understanding normalization through the views of the Israelis and Palestinians - Israel believes they can normalize and then reduce the conflict and problems surrounding the conflict, while Palestine argues that the conflict must be reduced before normalization.
   The presentation on human trafficking by Abby was also enlightening.  With all of the other issues in Israel and Palestine, human trafficking is not a problem with a lot of media attention. Keep spreading the word, Abby!
