My Final Blog :(

Well Honestly i enjoyed just about every section from Keeping the Republic and Where does the money go? Not trying to be a suck up or anything but everything we went over in class was fluffed with great information that i needed to know. The way the class was ran made me not dislike anything! Erik you know how to keep people's attention which kinda made everything interesting. So i can't say i have a favorite section because every section was my Fav!So i guess that kinda answers the second question also..
Before coming to this class my political knowledge was very very slim. I use to honestly sit around and listen to people talk about political issues and i never had any input because i did not know what to say. After this class i can get politically engaged in conversation. So after this class i can say that i am now well informed about politics and government. I know there is always room for learning more things that we did not cover in class but for the most part I learned so much!
Some of my friends are like i was before i had this class. They really don't know much about politics but they are willing to learn about them. My bestfriend and I were having small talk and i bought up some issues with social security and her feed back instantly was I dont care. So i dont know im going to work on her but i do have a few friends who are clear on politics and political issues going on in today's society. So i guess my generation still has some learning to do, there's always room for improvement and i do feel like learning about politics is not pushed enough in our generation so we do need to fix that issue.
I think that if i get involved and speak up for what i believe in i can make a difference in my country. So that's exactly what i'll do!
This class was excellent! Mr. Rankin your a really really great professor...go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back because you are passionate about what you teach and you do a great job at it! I really appreciate everything you have taught me this summer.....
