什么是政治学?
In political science students explore how government impacts citizens, 公民如何影响政府, 和 how citizens relate to one another. Students of political science examine the American constitution 和 the institutions 和 processes which it produced; They examine how nations interact with one another 和 how other nations' governments differ from our own; They also examine big questions like "what is justice?" 和 "why do human beings need government?"
Politics is at the core of our societal relationships, 我们的经济, 我们与其他国家的互动, 和 our cognizance of who we are as a people. Politics also defines 和 clarifies our individual rights 和 our responsibilities to one another. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story claimed that "Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit 和 intelligence of the citizens." Political science students graduate with the ability to think, speak 和 act more thoughtfully when it comes to essential issues that face every citizen of America's republic.
