Dynasty In Politics: How Much Is Too Much?

At a recent family gathering, a cousin of mine expressed her desire to be a doctor. Not surprising, considering her parents are both in the same profession, and run a p rominent hospital. It seems only natural that she will take the baton forward. However, to get there, she will still have to go through the grind. Study for at least six years, serve in a rural posting, burn the midnight oil and gain some experience before she can fulfil her dream. Rajendra Shekhawat has a similar story. He...

Quotes are taken from a transcript of President Obama’s remarks to the General Assembly, published by the New York Times. [Emphasis added.] That brings me to the second pillar for our future: the pursuit of peace. The United Nations was born of the belief that the people of the world can live their lives, raise their families, and resolve their differences peacefully.
