It was only recently that I have began understanding politics and how the government functions. My government teacher in high school helped educate me on different issues and court cases that have been exposed throughout history and with each subject matter, I began to develop personal opinions on what should or should not happen. Even though I grew up in a fairly conservative neighborhood with people who leaned right teaching most of my classes, I identified as a liberal. Reflecting back, I…

Roth wrote that fear has changed in modern times. He noted that premodern thinkers believed that fear should be cultivated to ensure moral behavior. However, modern thinkers discuss fear as an emotion or a reaction, not deliberate and certainly not cultivated by those who experience it. I believe this shift has impacted our class because we grew up in the shadow of the September 11th attacks and in periods of serious economic uncertainty. For us, fear is a childhood companion we have grown up…

In bygone governments the ruler's manner shaped the focal point of the city, around which everything else was gathered. Conversely, it was the public square or commercial center that shaped the focal meeting spot for residents in the polis. Political choice making forces were exchanged from the ruler to the get together; choices were figured in broad daylight;…

first considering what politics meant to me personally, I started by looking at definitions of the term. A definition that can be applied to the term politics is the academic study of the government and the state. I feel as though this specific definition closely exemplifies what politics means to me because all of my experiences with politics have all been associated with my recent study of political science here at Lakehead. Based on this definition, the meaning of politics relates to the…

Interest groups are constantly seeking out ways to influence the political process, whether it be influencing governmental decision making or elections. Interest groups have a certain degree of authority when it comes to their powers, but they have their limits as well.
