learn more about foreign affairs

i’d like to go to a college that has a model u.n. I wonder how much joining that would help me learn about the stuff i’d like to learn about (american imperialism, human rights ect.) I hope it’s not just boring technical stuff…

i’ve discovered some pretty good world news stations on the tv and on podcast. watching/listening when i can.

i’m only 16, so i’m pretty new to this stuff. I’ve read bit of foreign affairs and the economist and feel a bit lost. Those mags have definetly helped me realize how much more complicated the world is compared to the image mainstream media presents. I think I’ll try and acclimate myself into the subject by listening to a few podcasts on it. That, and maybe reading the mags online, and looking up every unfamiliar name up on awnsers.dot as i come upon it.
