Re: What's the best thing your favorite professor/teacher/etc ever said?

That sounds very frustrating and belittling. As if saying the country name as shorthand, because using the name of a person/several people or faction could get tedious in a long discussion, actually means you believe the country itself was alive and doing the action. Okay.

I think there is a tendency to generalize & essentialize nations as actors in that way, which I think is an error of thought, and so I think it could be useful to break it up as a way of getting people out of that train of thought.

Or it forces you to think about the dynamic happening behind the scenes. There are political players throughout history.

You sound about 14. Jeez. I wish kids would get over this idea that the only point of anything is for people to pander to their tiny, pathetic egos.

He didn't think you thought the country was literally a person. He thought it was a lazy mental shorthand that distracted from the real complexity of global politics and history, which is what we were studying at the time.

I didn't find it frustrating or belittling in the slightest. On the contrary, I found it challenging and I learned a great deal doing it.

If saying the name of a faction or persons in a discussion instead of the name of a nation is unduly arduous, it's definitely time for remedial study before you consider graduate-level classes.

Well this was graduate level. I mean I understand that that might not be appropriate for a History 101-level course, because then you'd get answers like "uh... .... General (?) Yama... zaki... attacked... Pearl Harbor. During, uh, World War II. At, uh, some point. 1940? In order to... ???? ...profit."

I mean at least if the papers I marked as a TA for Pacific and Asian History classes were anything to go by, lol.
