<p>So, in one of my essays, about the political issue, I call a certain country’s government barbaric (along with a few other harsh critiques of their policies). After writing it, I was wondering: is that appropriate? I keep imagining the adcom reading the essay and going “what the snizzle that my home country yo, this girl iz REJECTED!.”</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>what’s the country? Do you make it a complex analogy about how primitive the decision-making process is, or is it a comment in passing? Is it necessary to the essay? Generally though, I would say you’d be fine, as long as its reasonable (e.g. calling Afghanistan under the Taliban barbaric is far different than calling Great Britain barbaric)</p>
<p>an besides, you’d be in good company… [YouTube</a> - Robert Byrd Barbaric](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V95eGgZbrU]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V95eGgZbrU)</p>
<p>Vietnam. (I’m Vietnamese, actually.) It’s more of saying the government’s methods are a little barbaric, not the country itself.</p>
<p>I’m just gonna go with it …</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
