Imagination
Talking about human rights violations is a heavy topic. How can we understand the plight of individuals thousands of miles away? How can we discuss the best policy action without first trying to consider what be the intended and unintended consequences of each policy? Every day we imagine. We imagine what the future holds for us, what terrors lie behind the curtain, and how much personal efficacy we can have in the greater scheme of things.
