Document Summary
100 million are planning to watch the 2016 presidential debate, more than watched the. They say this debate is a turning point in the election. Like realism there is not just one liberalism. There are disputes among people who are liberal writers about why liberalism should be the dominant cannon. Realists and liberalist have always been on opposite side of the spectrum, as liberalism is a more optimist theory in regards to international and domestic institutions and there e ectiveness. Liberalism believes that by embracing freedom, western values and a free market the world can have a comfortable peace. Liberalism has been called di erent things through the ages and context.
