The map that Clay showed during class without the borders got me thinking about the creation of nationalism within Asia. I have noticed that most students know little to nothing about Asia, including the countries that are located in Asia, and the cultures that lay within the boundaries. I think that it would be interesting to discuss the islands that are currently in dispute and pose the question to students about how to settle the debate. How do we decide who owns what? What leads to the conflict between countries in a region? And how does nationalism and history effect relations between a country and its neighbors?
