Oakmont Great Decisions
Zentangle™ Art Classes
nGeorge McKinney
It’s time to sign up for Great Decisions for 2018. Great Decisions is a national program developed by the Foreign Policy Association which features eight discussion topics. The FPA produces a book with background material for each topic. We read the background material and then meet in discussion groups to discuss each topic in turn. Meetings for 2018 are 10 a.m.–12 noon on Monday mornings in East Rec. We plan on four groups this year, with each group 14–16 people. Each group meets every other week. Groups 1 and 2 will meet February 5 and 19, March 5 and 19, April 2, 16 and 30, and May 14. Groups 3 and 4 will meet February 12 and 26, March 12 and 26, April 9 and 23, May 7 and 21. Topics for 2018 will be: 1) The waning of Pax Americana?; 2) Russia’s foreign policy; 3) China and
America: the new geopolitical equation; 4) Media and foreign policy; 5) Turkey: a partner in crisis; 6) U.S. global engagement and the military; 7) South Africa’s fragile democracy; 8) Global health: progress and challenges. Cost for the program is $20 (to purchase the book). If two of you will be working together, you can work with one book, but if you want two the cost is $30 for two books. If you have a preference on dates, please indicate so, or we’ll just assign you to one group or the other as space allows. Please be sure to let us know if two people will be participating but sharing one book. To sign up, send your check made out to George McKinney, Coordinator, at 307 Stone Creek Circle. If you have any questions, please email me at georgemck@aol.com.
