How we affect International Relations:

            - traveling around the world on our best behavior

- studying abroad (Ale and I are both considering Argentina and/or Spain and South Africa)

- the clothes we buy

- the news programs, TV shows, movies, and music we watch and listen to

- the food we eat, and more importantly that which we throw away

- consumer trends

- elections

- the cars our parents buy

- one day joining the Peace Corps

- studying in Ireland and Spain

            - global employment rates (outsourcing)

How International Relations affects us:

            - our economy, or lack there of

            - “terror level” and thus days off of high school for one of us

            - our taxes

            - our elections

            - the tone our Italian/French relatives use with us

            - consumer trends

            - concern for others

            - outsourcing

    Very good! Travel and consumerism seems to be a common thread.

    You’ll have to tell us some Negroponte stories!
