Governments I

Good morning everyone.

I’d like to begin by getting to know the class. If you could tell me why you picked this class… “Because I had to” is not an acceptable answer. We all have choices, whether it is clear or if it is not.

I’d also like to know what you hope to learn here.

Now, we’re going to have little bit or a writing assignment here. This won’t be graded. Yes, you have to do it as it does count towards class participation. For the next class, I want you to give me a minimum of 1 page, double spaced, answer to this question:

What do I think a government’s job is?

We will be discussing this next week.

I am taking this class because it has been impressed upon me how important it is to understand the workings behind governmental systems and their politics. It will be useful to know the whys and wherefores, and not merely how to bend the rules and overthrow corrupt or nonprofitable regimes...

Ah, my mistake. We'll be covering that in Advanced Negotiations.
