PO 403 - Seminar:American Politics:Critical Issues

Institution:

Regis College

Subject:

Description:

In examining critical issues of American politics, the seminar participants will confront contrasting points of view about democracy and freedom, capitalism and competitiveness, critical foreign policy issues, individual rights vis-á-vis public interest, as well as globalization vis-á-vis distributive economic justice. We continue to face the challenge of thinking straight, clarifying our values, and articulating with persuasiveness. Honestly confronting these issues is critical to our delineating and refining our own normative perspective that informs our morally defensible political action. The seminar builds on the American politics electives and serves as a "capstone" course for the Americanpolitics field. Prerequisites: PO 210 and at least two courses from PO 306, 310, 311, 312, 315, 316.
