Denmark, and such would influence his perception of self. As Berry states, “Hamlet is a Dane. His consciousness is rooted in the collective of a single nation state. But that does not impart a security on Hamlet” (). In Hamlets own words “Denmark’s a prison.”(3.3.11). The little comfort or security Hamlet feels is due to the transformation of his nation. “Denmark is Denmark, King and country are one. Claudius has taken over more than the throne, he has claimed as Dane a part of Hamlet’s…

Ignoring the idea that freedom and human rights are what have generated much of the growth in the west, third world experts’ “blank-slate” mentality fails to utilize history to the advantage of poorer nations. Easterly further argues that so-called development experts place their focus on nations rather than people when trying to alleviate poverty, and in the process trample rights of individuals.

Sovereign Nations? The United States is exactly what its name says: a group of states united together to form a single nation. But what are these states? Are they independent nations? Just areas of land with boundaries drawn around them? A state is a geopolitical unit that has sovereignty—the authority to govern itself.
