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 have a bit of experience in the area of governments (albeit monarchy), and wish to learn more about the system and how it works. Hopefully I will not have to use any of it.

I'm sorry, I missed the bit when I was reading my book.

I think a government is a body of people put together either by election or birthrite responsible for maintaining a boarder sense of law and order. Which basically means they are the people who pull the strings and watch the little puppets dance for their own amusement and political gain.

I'll be looking forward to hearing of your experience.
