The Secretary of State is the president’s chief arm for carrying out diplomatic affairs. In the New York Times article, Hillary Clinton, the new appointed Secretary of State, is modernizing the position. On Friday morning, she warned North Korea not to test long range missiles. Later that afternoon, she was answering questions posed to her by a Korean student about her love life.
Clinton is mixing security with personal family experiences. She says that she is determined to “make a connection with people in a non traditional way that is not just a staged handshake and photo.” People are excited to see Clinton; she is one of the most famous women in the world. 3000 female students packed Ewha Womans University in Seoul to hear her speak. Clinton wants to connect with people on a personal level. She believes that this in turn can help mold public opinion and influence governments.
I feel that Clinton is doing the right thing. She is a celebrity and is using this for the good of our country. I think that the “personal touch” is just what politics needs, instead of the same old stale approach.

I agree with you, the United States needs a new approach.The old approach just wasn't working. I believe that Clinton will gain a personal connection with people because she is a women.
ReplyDeleteI like Clinton, she's pretty awsome! I'm glad we have her as Secretary of State. She is the type of person that can get down to business and be seroius, but she can also be a nice caring person. In my opinion we need people like that representing us at the moment.
