Hmm

I could not make much sense to this article as a whole. Sure, I highlighted some things that caught my interest. But that didn't mean I understood them.

A part I found interesting was "The powerful are likely to get more powerful and richer, the weak less powerful and poorer..." In some ways I agree with this, and in other ways I don't. However, Edward Said probably meant something different than the way I took it anyway. Who knows really.

Another thing I read that I believe is probably true was, "Today the United States is triumphalist internationally and seems in a febrile way eager to prove that it is number one..."

I think I should just wait until we talk about this reading in class because I'm not making much sense of it all.
