So political science is really a classic
liberal arts major focused on some of
the fundamental questions about what it
means to be human.
The whole notion of political
science is a study of in some sense
power how we relate to one another
competition for resources. So in the core
we have American Government which is
awesome. It really gets down to the
basics and then once you get into more
the major specific classes there's
American Presidency and then next
semester I'm really excited for
Constitutional Law. We participate with
the CCCU's American Studies program
where students will spend a semester in
Washington DC. I really do value my
professors input both on my papers and
sometimes with just my views in general.
Being at a state school it would be
really hard to have those fruitful
conversations. We have to wrestle with
what it means to be citizens of
governments. How do we be engaged? How do
we involve ourselves in those systems?
What is the best type of system to
govern ourselves? But on the on the flip
side we are citizens, we are citizens of
the kingdom of heaven if we are
Christians. if we have that hope. That
does pose an interesting critique to
some of these engagement questions. How
should Christians be engaged in the
political system if their hope ultimately lies in heaven?
