Discussion Questions

First, on the national front, as we get ready to usher in the Biden’s presidency, what specific social policies
do you think should be high on his “first 100 days” agenda? Second, as it relates to foreign policies,
consider the statement. “Sanctions hurt the least powerful and give the most powerful something to rail
against.” Do you agree with this statement? If it is true, does that mean we shouldn’t use sanctions as a
tool in foreign policy? Don’t we have a moral obligation not to do business with a state that chronically
violates human rights and political freedoms?
