About the Course
Politics is an inescapable part of life. Can you imagine any human organization that doesn't have conflict over collective decisions? This course will introduce you to the formal study of politics. We will explore political issues at all levels--individual, group, national, and international. You will become familiar with the basic vocabulary of the discipline, learn about the different ways that political issues are studied, and develop critical reading, thinking and writing skills. The course is designed for prospective majors as well as for those simply seeking a better understanding of the political world. There are no prerequisites.
