Nothing’s written in stone

In the course International Relations, I learned about the Foreign Policy. What it is, how is it formulated and who executes it. The Foreign Policy guides the country to promote its relations with other countries. It is being formulated by the President and executed, mainly, by the DFA. In class, we also differentiated Diplomacy from Foreign Policy. Diplomacy was the channel or arm that you will use while the Foreign Policies are your goals and objectives. You can achieve your Foreign Policy through Diplomacy. And after the class discussion, I fully affirmed the difference. I am also glad to learn the cycle of the process of creating foreign policies. It is really important that you know your goals and objectives before creating your policies. It can be related to class. We are given class syllabus because it will guide us and the objectives of the course and activities are also included. Or in an organization, before creating projects, we must have objectives. It will be better because we will be able to create programs and policies that are needed by the community. The same with the country, the government must create polcies that are needed by the people. These policies are always for the State and for the people. That is the number one rule in creating policies. They are always for something and not just for nothing. Thus, they should be well thought of. After that, it is also important to evaluate. It is the tool that we can use to improve the policy or program. As mentioned on class. It is a continuous stirring process and it does not end. I would like to add that in this world, nothing is written in stone and change is inevitable. Therefore, we must learn on how to adapt to these changes brought by the world. Anything can happen, anytime and anywhere.
