| Introduction | My political ideology falls under Disaffected Democrats. I personally don't have any political influences I feel have greatly shaped my ideology to this day. As a child, my political ideology was shaped by my father. As I grew older and experienced the world for myself, that ideology changed. Quite honestly I am not politically active, but I hope to become more aware of the political climate that I live in. I'm honestly ashamed that I haven't educated myself sooner. While at the same time, I truly have a disdain for the culture of politics and party affiliation here in the US, and have never desired to take part in it solely due to the nature of disharmony it brings upon us. I am taking this class, truthfully, because it fulfills a graduation requirement. However, I am still interested to learn about how the US government operates because I feel like I should know these things about my own country. By the end of this course I hope to be able to make my own informed judgements and political opinions knowing that I understand the way in which our country functions. I got a 60% on civic literacy quiz and 60% on current events quiz. |
