FAO Quotables

"But being right, even morally right, isn't everything. It is also important to be competent, to be consistent, and to be knowledgeable. It's important for your soldiers and diplomats to speak the language of the people you want to influence. It's important to understand the ethnic and tribal divisions of the place you hope to assist."

Sometimes in April/Rwanda Genocide Analysis Paper- Endnotes

BONUS LINK:  My entire (so far) grad school notes collection can be found here.    

 I just finished a midterm for one of my classes in which I had to evaluate a film and its director's portrayal of the key issues and characters.  I chose the HBO Film Sometimes in April.  Having already seen the excellent Hotel Rwanda , I wanted to tackle something new.
   

      A paramount skill that I am learning early in grad school is the importance of targeted research--unfortunately it's still a laboriously slow process for me, but I am improving with each paper.   One strategy that I quickly adapted was to find someone's thesis (or a respected paper or book) on the issue of interest and use their his/her bibliography as a starting point.  In that tradition my bibliography (not in a specific format since it wasn't required for this paper) follows.  I will post my paper later this week.
