| Introduction | Unfortunately being born in the 90’s provides me with very limited political experience, views and ideals; whereas, others may have encountered many more life experiences and influences that have helped shaped their political ideology. Given this, I try my best to be as politically active and knowledgeable as I am capable of being at my age. Being an adolescent during a period of economic recession has surely had an influence on my political ideals. I believe we are too tied up in Democrat vs. Republican and Liberal vs. Conservative, but truly at this point in time it is important for our nation to put aside our differentiating views and find a common ground where we can start the rebuilding of the prosperous nation we were founded to be. As Henry Ford said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” With the completion of this course, I hope to better my political knowledge and advocacy, with the belief that well rounded political awareness and civic engagement are what fuel a functional and successful democracy. |
