Political Policies 321 Analysis
I really enjoyed participating and learning about America’s dynamic political policies. This class was very useful and I have used the social, cultural, political, governmental and economic prism method to dissect numerous policy topics for other classes. The format encouraged class discussion and it was engaging to hear what other students thought on hot topic issues. I also believe this course taught me how to have more meaningful political conversations by learning how to refrain from personal political ideology and rhetoric. There were many thought provoking topics discussed during class but the issues I was most intrigued by involved political strategy. I was very surprised to learn about UA’s proposed smoking ban and since have since shared this information with several friends. Like me many of them I was very surprised the school recognized the nearing possibility of marijuana legalization. I would have never expected the school to preemptively take action to solve a problem that hasn’t occurred, it also speaks to social recognition of a southern institution of changing times to come. Unfortunately I am living throughout a disappointing time in our economic history that was also an informative subject. As I am graduating Saturday I found many of our discussions about our future to be very grim. The fact that we would be the first generation that will undoubtedly not do as well as our parents is very disappointing. On the other hand it was also uplifting that as a graduate I would join the upper twenty percent of society. I never would have assumed that eighty percent of Americans hadn’t received a college degree. While our class discussions were always engaging I often did leave class with a heightened state of stress. Much of what we learned was extremely practical such as life advice to start investing in a retirement plans. I gained helpful insight into my generation’s questionable future including
