| Back at Yeungnam-- a shot of the campus taken from the library, if I recall! |
Even though a "regular" day at Yeungnam involved less travel and overt thrills than, say, a trip to
POSCO, this one was pretty eventful.
In the Classroom: The United States in East Asia
The day began, as so many did, with class. Today our topic was the good 'ole U. S. of A. We took a rather clinical approach, beginning with a discussion of
CINC scores. CINC scores are basically social science's way of taking the utterly baffling world of international politics and fusing it with the accessibility of a video game-- by running a state's capabilities through a nifty formula which includes factors such as population, production of strategic resources such as steel, and military expenditure, one ends up with a convenient score that can then be used to roughly compare the material capabilities of different states, as well as the world at large.
