Richard Betts, "Realism"

[@RonnieRossonyang]

Am glad i can learn better realism than I did in Law school. Very practical and helps one understand realism better. It brings about the question of who is the grand norm.

[@calengr1]

3:24 Three assumptions of Realism (Gilpin) : 1) conflict is inherent; 2) group id >> individual id..... group not social classes or individuals ; 3) the primary concern with security and therefore raw power as determining that desired security

This video is a requirement for my POLS 4150 (Law and Society) class. I liked this video!

[@HWDog]

LOL, we study this video in year one....

[@horny4bears]

Mr Betts, thanks for tossing so much in my head, to ponder an reflect. Your lecture left me feeling inapt with so many more questions left in a mess. Least I feel more content, that all these paths are being and have been placed under alot of inspection, by such great speakers like you, sir. only if we were all informed this well before we act. ty cu an all the rest feel a bit more informed, if not i know now who to ask 8)

[@TheBlackcairo]

brilliant, thanks for the video!

[@sam3wise]

It just sounds like politics because Realism is an international political theory.....

[@calengr1]

41:42 role and power of states

[@horny4bears]

so am i wrong to relate, what was laid out, looks an reminds me of a billards table but bigger for mores at stake, with everyone being color blind, and all line up their sticks, taken aim, to hit un marked balls. some players taken their turn in sync, while some will sink in a extra shot for hopes to sink, another ball they hope is theirs?

[@marie-chantalcote3157]

John J. Mearsheimer, also talk about the comparaison with billards table.

[@LordTyphus47]

Whats the point he's trying to get at about realism? It just sounds like politics.

[@marma831]

Their are various theories to international politics, how about you learn them before you state something so moronic.
