By: r. jensen: more rich societies can ignore the ways the emotional dimension of politic affects them. This reading looks at issues that arise when we look at the connection between personal political in the context of being citizens of a nation seeking global dominance. Seeking pain and reducing pleasure: human beings need to seek pain and reduce our pleasure to become best people possible, a student came into the author"s office crying, and feeling sad over the iraq war. The author thinks its better to feel this pain then be ignorant. Author made her feel bad about saying that: without empathy, we cannot change the world. We must realize much of the pain is the result of a system to ensure our pleasure. Author talks about cluster bombs to know that the u. s. governments quest for global power results in innocent people dying.
