A Friday Reflection

Well I've just finished my first week of my last year of business school - and it's been pretty good! I had a class on Int'l Humanitarian Law, but I dropped it for a class on Int'l Business Law - which includes a section on humanitarian law. I also have a course on the Int'l Monetary System and one on Managing Exports. It's exciting because I'm finally delving into the International Business classes that are what I'm most interested in.

Int'l Business classes are really interesting, because unlike domestic business you have to take into account the different countries that your business will be working in/with - these items include the laws, culture, infrastructure, political system, language, the list goes on and on.

One interesting thing we discussed in Int'l Law, was how many law students don't regard Int'l Law as "true law" and they don't value learning about it. Because the int'l laws - like treaties between countries - aren't necessarily enforceable, and the law systems are not identical as the U.S. My teacher said that they say that because they regard the U.S. law system as the best in the world, that if other law systems don't copy it, that they can't be true law.

I'm excited to learn more!
