Participating in Government

Grade 12 - Semester - 1/2 credit

The function of government is to provide a structure and system of control among people. In a democracy, the direction and purpose of government take on new meaning because people ARE the government. If the system is to function properly in an orderly and honest way, citizens must actively participate. This course will help students become aware of their responsibilities to the government and provide them with tools to become involved in the process.
