Can you imagine what an example it would set for the world if we were able to find a way to live in peace in Israel/Palestine? All the pieces of the puzzle are there: a shared monotheistic tradition, a shared land, and shared interests.We are closer to actualizing this than most people realize.Peace is in the best interest of all parties involved...it is a non-zero sum game.May G-d bless us with the wisdom to see clearly that peace is a matter of creating the conditions for mutual prosperity

I have bought this theory. Realism is the TRUTH!!! I looked back on history and there are no obvious inconsistencies between realist observation and observable facts. Liberalism is woefully inadequate and constructivism is a toddler who hasn't even learnt the names of things!!

I love being able to sit back, relax, listen, and take in the concepts without the strain that reading puts on my eyes. Thank you for posting these videos UCtelevision.

@dambature: All of these theories are the "TRUTH." They all work, but none of them work that well alone. All of them "observe" history well; none of them predict history well (e.g. fall of the Berlin wall or the USSR). Constructivism is still a method, not a theory, and thankfully hasn't been thrown out with the bath-water before it has gotten to be a "toddler." It's impossible to ignore all the other theories in our complex world that is no longer (if ever) simply billiard balls.
