My name is Nick Ashdown, and I am a 29 year old Canadian student. I have a Master of Arts in Political Science, and am currently doing a Master of Journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa. I have spent time in Turkey and Russia, and am very interested in travel and different cultures.
This blog will discuss different issues in international relations, the media, and culture, while trying to avoid succumbing to any particular political dogma. If there is any overarching theme, it is an attempt to dispel the notion that any one culture can be objectively ‘better’ than another. I will try to expose hypocrisy and intellectual inconsistency wherever I find it.
