The Alternative Perspective One

This question reminds me of an exercise we have done a few times in my College Writing class. In said exercise each member of the class is given an academic field and we have to look at whatever article/book we are discussing from the perspective of that discipline. The objective of this is to make us see what we're learning in a different light and it works surprisingly well. Moral of the story? Looking at anything from alternative perspectives is always beneficial no matter what you're examining.

World politics is no exception. In fact in many cases alternative perspectives are even more important in world politics than other fields. Why, you ask? So much with the questions...

But in all seriousness, no matter how hard we all try, everyone has an inherent bias when it comes to world politics (some more pronounced than others) whether that's simply a bias towards the country of our origin or residence or something more. Due to this it is crucial to step back from our own partialities and reanalyze the issues that get us all so worked up from a different perspective.
