Description

U.S. Government will introduce to students the main concepts that make up the modern government of the United States. In this single-semester course, students will learn the function of political systems, the purpose of a party system, how policy is decided, elections, voting, and the basic ideas that are associated with being a participant within a political system. Students will look at the development of the government from its inception to the modern incarnation that it has become. A primary goal of this course will be to teach students the concepts associated with the idea of civil efficacy. Another goal is to teach the power of the media and of public opinion. These concepts will illuminate the past and current struggles for civil rights and liberties, as well as how representative government functions in the United States.
