POLI 240 - American Political System

3 Credit: (3 lecture, 0 lab, 0 clinical) 3 Contact Hours: [Reading Level 3 ]

Politics is the universal effort among people to pursue their own interests in society and better themselves and their communities. This inevitably results in ongoing interaction between individuals, groups, and the institutions they create.  Cooperation, competition, and conflict are all a part of this process and have come to be structured and regulated to facilitate decision making, especially in a large, complex, heterogeneous democracy such as our own. Long ago human beings developed the varied but universal institution of government to try to resolve or at least manage the issues and concerns that underlie and energize people in pursuit of their economic, social, and personal goals. Politics and government are closely related: one a universal human activity, the other a universal human institution. We will explore the relationship between the two.
