The BIED Society is a premier International Affairs Think Tank committed to supporting its members in professional pursuits through original research, networking, study abroad, conferences, speaker opportunities, and collaborative committees and task forces.
2020 is a year of change and the BIED Society is proud to introduce the launch of the International Affairs Academy, a Document of the Day - Free Professional Development staring in September. Every business day of the school year, the BIED Society will discuss key international affairs documents in a new blog and forum found on the www.biedsociety.com website.
The discussion is based around any international affairs professional that wants to plug into a supportive community of like minds to learn from the review of key documents as well as the important discussion around these key documents. Kindly sign up here to set up your profile here, https://www.biedsociety.com/forum and we appreciate you sending this invitation to other International Affairs Professionals, PhD Post grads, PhD Students, Master degree students, Undergraduates, and any current professional that wants to mentor, be mentored, and be part of a community.
We will discuss the U.S. National Security Strategy, key treaties leading to the European Union, and vital documents around the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Who do I know that should join this discussion?
This document is interesting to me. I noticed there was no mention of any sort of setback due to financial crimes. I acknowledge this is from an economic perspective, examining historical data compared to today on the grounds of economic security. I however, would be interested to see statistics on the amount of US families who are a risk of losing their economic security due to financial crime. While my main domain is cyberspace, I understand that financial crimes can cost a family their livelihood. This data would have been interesting to see included in this article. The historical analysis included in the article interests me. I noticed that the current state of economic security is vastly different than it was 40 + years ago. I am interested to see how this trend continues in this analysis. I agree that household income inequality has shifted. I have observed this when comparing my peers to my grandparents and noticing the differences. I am however interested by the fact that debt accumulated is a key factor for the ‘young adults.’ I do believe that the rising debt of American citizens needs to be examined from a government standpoint. I found this article interesting and I look forward to more seeing more research on the topic.
