| Introduction | My name is Michael Shaffer and I have set up this blog as a requirement for my GOVT 2305 class at Austin Community College. I am currently in the process of advancing my Associates Degree in Nursing to a Bachelor Degree in Nursing, which is why I am enrolled in this class. Politics has always been an interest of mine and I associate as a Progressive Liberal. My upbringing in Birmingham, AL has certainly influenced my current mindset, be it rebellion against the extreme right-wing ideology in Alabama, or from seeing the devastating effects of lack of community support systems at a local level. My work as a Registered Nurse has inspired interest in the arena of public health, as well as sustainability of our over-burdened health care system. Although opinionated, I am open to the beliefs of others, and look forward to thoughtful discussions about politics with my classmates. |
