I will be eighteen in two short months. I'll finally get to vote, but the idea of voting when you have no idea what path you are choosing for the future of the place you call home is pretty scary.
In all honesty, I do not really know very much about our government, how it functions, or the way it all affects my life. I know the basics. I know that there are three branches in the United States government. I know that there are different processes that politicians must go through to influence the government. I know that according to the Time quiz the was posted in the announcements section on Blackboard that I am 73% conservative and 27% liberal because I favor cats to dogs, but I like my desk to be neat. I am a little confused because the "Political Typology" quiz told me that I am a libertarian and I only just learned what that was.
I hope that taking this class will help me more fully understand how my government works and make it easier for me to choose the candidates that support my view of how the country should be run.
