This past class was interesting as usual. I particularly liked hearing from Marco of WFP. As a member of the group that is studying WFP I had already written a little bit about Marco for our paper. Witness for Peace primarily does their media through "word of mouth" and examples of this are the 8-9 speaker tours they do each year. Marco is probably not going all over the US with this message, however, as his tour is just being promoted by the southeast region of Witness for Peace. His message was good, although I feel sometimes the severity or his passion may have gotten lost in interpretation. I wish I had a better background like John on NAFTA, unfortunately I know very little. However I was thinking during the presentation that here had to be some good reasoning behind NAFTA and it had to be helping someone somewhere. Not to justify it, just to say I felt we were really getting only one side of the NAFTA story in class.
Learning networks was an interesting topic for the class and it was good to talk it over in blog groups because I was a bit confused on what a learning network really is. The blog discussion didn't necessarily clear it up for me, instead it loosened up my definition of learning networks. We talked about the difference between leadership and hierarchy and that was really helpful to me. Learning networks need leadership in that they need some people to take care of different things, but they don't employ any type of pecking order. Everyone is accountable to everyone else, even if they are a leader in a specific area. I really like the idea of a learning network and group learning. I think in an ever-increasing globalized world we need to learn from each other and work with one another more and more.
