I would be glad to help my classmates with the subjects listed below:
Human rights at the international level, The US-China trade war, the ongoing discussions over The Second Amendment to the US Constitution, the Immigration crisis in the EU, Taliban in Afghanistan, NATO expansion to the East(reasons and consequences), Sweden and Finland in NATO, Political instability in the Middle East, Democracy in Arab countries, The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and Russia-Ukraine War.
I can also support my classmates with sports on practical and theoretical levels.
Is there something you want to add?
I like to look at politics from a philosophic point of view, primarily through existentialism theory. If I can persuade only one person in one society to only read one very good classic book then I would consider myself a successful journalist. People can govern their lives if they read good books, regardless of where they live.
