ON WRITING INVOLVED POLITICAL-GEOGRAPHY

Social scientists know that one person's 'truth' may be another person's 'propaganda'. Both (and also other) perspectives may be valid... Legitimate differences of opinion are to be expected, respected and encouraged-unless there is a bogus basis to the research and thus 'findings'. It is hoped that scholars in all states will always he open to accepting others' views and that research will not be condemned just because it is 'different' or perhaps because of the respective state in which the scholars live.
