This has probably always been true, but it has never been truer than it is today. Whether you are president, pundit, scholar, or student, you have to decide what to make of islamic fundamentalism, Russian democracy, global free trade, and North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons. Closer to home you have to decide what to make of low voter turnout, gay marriage, the fear that social security might go broke, and judical activism. On the other hand, how difficult can it be for a college professor to introduce a college student to American politics?After all, politics and government are all around us:in the newspapers that we read, on the evening news that we watch, and in the high school history and civics courses that we all took-some more recently than others. We all have a general feel for American politics. 4aUnited States-Politics and Government  a10849/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10850/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10850/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10849/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10849/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10850/MKRI-P/XI-2008
