Based on they strongarmed people into behaving in a way that the party wants them to behave. They dressed as policemen and basically initiate violent confrontation with the protesters in an effort to have everything spiral out of control.

So young women, young youth with disabilities, youth that are part of other maximize ethnic and groups within the country that theyre operating inches they are facing further obstacles to participation. The other other thing we see is a lack of skills in order to advocate and a dress grievances nonviolently. Knowing how to get involved with some of these processes. Theres a high tolerance of violence, is perpetrated by protesters, by young people who are often encouraged to take to the streets on behalf of Political Parties and others. Its also perpetrated by police, by a culture in countries where there is a high tolerance for violence. This has been seen as an appropriate tool to engage. The last point is a sense of meaning, i think were all looking to lead meaningful lives on it comes to young people it is an important or intense time. Youre trying to figu

Disputes have raged about every aspect of that war in the decades since it was over. And they actually started before, obviously, before the war was over. From time to time, new information and new interpretations come to the fore that cast light on the disputes involved. Thats what this seminar today is about. Were very fortunate to have with us to introduce todays speaker, a close student of the vietnam period, my colleague, professor paul stone. He will introduce the speaker, and also handle the question and answer period following our speaker. Paul stone. [ applause ] good afternoon, welcome to this session of the humphrey forum.

Acted like a normal president ial candidate. He held an event in New Hampshire this afternoon where he delivered a scripted speech on trade policy.
