conciliation and peace. When a government uses soft power‚ one needs to be aware of the differences between state sponsors and terrorist groups or networks. For soft power to be successful it needs to set the political addenda in a way that will shape the preferences of others (Nacos‚ 2016).

If a woman was president I think if there was a problem she could
