Reflection Post (Sorry about the lateness, i forgot to actually put it on blogger)
The discussion we had in class about Arab Springs really made me think about the underuse of soft power in the USA. With such military strength and recognition, the USA is known for getting other countries to agree so they too can be stable. The USA promoting democracy can backlash since the audience the US is trying to appeal to, isnt keen on their support. Instead, the USA should rather look for advisory tips to give to them so they could form their own democracy with "aid when needed". This method (soft power) might make these people more attracted to the idea of a fair democracy.
