Alberto Fernandez, director of public affairs for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Near East Affairs, came to speak to Tyler Marshall's Mid East Politics class tonight. It is great that he and Marshall's previous subject matter experts have found time to visit an academic class at the Corcoran College of Art. Of Art. Fernandez said one of the biggest problems the United States has when dealing with other countries' cultures is arrogance. (But isn't arrogance such a large part of our culture?)
