This is the second week, so far I have read “the Making of the Modern World” by Erik Ringmar and honestly I have only read roughly some parts of the other reading. I am talking about this because I want to talk about the current situation of long distance learning. Without a doubt, this whole system is very difficult for any normal student to learn or at least it has been for me. I am used to learning in a controlled environment with a teacher in front of me, so a sudden change to a habit that was formed as a kid for me is very difficult. Other than that, I have a few questions, that I hope I will learn or find out in the next couple of weeks.

In countries or states, where there are corrupt or no political institutions, who do the people look for assistance? The United Nations is too weak to assist any third world country with a corrupt government or weak economy. The U.S. just sends out money/weapons to these countries in hopes they solve their own problems. For example, Venezuela, the country itself is in anarchy. Everyone is out for themselves, people can’t even trust the authorities because they are corrupt. So my next question is this, in a world of anarchy, if anarchy allows anything from chaos to even order, will countries, whose economy is weak and the government is too weak, just collapse and wait for a wealthy country to take over?
