Why do you think that it is important for diplomats to understand the worldview of the other party?

Because instead of assuming that the other party is always wrong or ignorant, learning everyone else's perspectives will allow for a quicker consensus among each party and put the diplomats on track to better the people.  Having a gathering of ideas will be a more accurate representation of society as a whole, rather than just one sided perspectives.

the answer is slaves

douglas was a slave who turned into a statesman and he refused to celebrate the 4th of july until all slaves were emancipated or set free.

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
