American Government and Politics - HONORS
Offered By: DeAnza College via California Community Colleges System
Course Description
Overview
This course is a critical examination of the contemporary and historical struggle for the development of democratic political institutions in the United States at the state, local, and national levels. Particular emphasis is given to the conflict between disparate socioeconomic groups in the conduct of U.S. political life (e.g. traditional elites versus the historically (and currently) disenfranchised-- women, people of color, workers, immigrants, etc.) and the interrelationship among social equity, democracy, and sustainable environmental conditions. As an honors course, students will be expected to complete extra assignments to gain a deeper insight into American Government and Politics.
