This course is designed to address the issues in our community and how they relate to an individual's power and a institution's responsibilty.
Description:
Government is a high level class where you will learn and evolve your ability to debate issues critical to the health of you, your loved ones, and your community. We will examine current laws, pending legislation, and their effect on various communities. A focal point of our class will be a critical examination of the Constitution, the Bill of rights, and the current state of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.
Your responsibility in class will be to learn the rights guaranteed you as a human being, parallel them to those offered you as a citizen, and the process to undertake when those rights are violated. You will be expected to debate various points of view and dialogue over multiple issues being examined by the current judicial system.
Guiding Questions:
What are basic human rights guaranteed all people regardless of citizenry?
How have these rights been challenged or denied to certain groups?
What ways has the law has been used to maintain un-just systems of power?
What is the responsibility of a community in a true democratic society?
