    I studied this module ''International relations'' last year and found it brillant, Uni of Essex is a leader in this subject area. I knew nothing about this subject and managed to attain a 1st (73%) in this module. You will learn so much and your eyes will be opened to global issues, theories and reasons for war, bargaining and all sorts. I am moving onto second year and I am fully satisfied and enthusiastic.

      @@teexcv the experience itself was worth it, but the degree is only useful to get whatever job requires a minimum of a Bachelors degree. Unless you are very dedicated to the field and have a strong plan laid out, the degree will not get you a job on its own. It takes knowledge of career path and processes, willingness to slave away many years until you reach a modicum of expertise and climb the ladder in your particular field and, sadly, some connections. At least that's how it is in my country...

      @@teexcv and my job has nothing to do with my degree, it's not even required to have one. If i were to do it all over again, i would work for a fee years, put some money aside and research what would be a good career to fit me, then i would choose a degree. But i would choose this university every timr and Steven Pickering will be my favorite professor forever

      @@andrychan Thank you for the insight, so would you say you regret doing IR? I'm looking to get into uni for it next year. Worried if i'll be able to land a good job at the end.

      @@teexcv i do regret not waiting to discover myself and my interests after highschool. I felt pressured to choose a uni and straight on continue with higher education when i had no idea what i wanted to do or what i was interested in. IR is one of those degrees that parents guide you to hoping you'll work in diplomacy or in European instititions, not knowing how much work that implies to get there and if the child is even remotely interested to pursue a career in that field after studies. My advice would be to do your research properly, have at least an idea of the steps you would take after uni, which internship woulf you start with, what type of entry level jobs would be available for you and if you are interested in doing such jobs for a few good years until you reach your next step. Have a well designed battle plan, a 5 year plan if you must. Uni is a very expensive investment so you must not take it lightly.

    People ridicule the "duck and cover" videos, but the thermal radiation from a nuclear blast, which is very deadly, can actually be effectively avoided if you cover under any surface that stops the light - even, in part, if you cover under a piece of cloth.
    Of course, it travels at the speed of light, so you can't defend against it unless you're warned by sirens.
    And you still have to survive the shockwave and nuclear waste.

      No, it's not weird. It means you have an interest and you are feeding it. In fact, I think that it is excellent that a high school student is displaying interest in things like this. Are you considering going on to study this subject at a higher level? I would recommend it, especially nowadays.

    Before the Cuban Missile Crisis, there were no nukes in Cuba, our missiles were in Turkey, and we still had the option of invading Cuba.
    After the Cuban Missile Crisis, there were no nukes in Cuba, our missiles were removed from Turkey, and we no longer had the option to invade Cuba.
    So who really won? Didn't it amount to Khrushchev putting nuclear missiles in Cuba to gain concessions?
