Course Title
Democracy in Action!
Course Description
This course examines questions related to the effectiveness and efficacy of democratic forms of governance in serving the people, such as who should have a role in decision-making and whether most citizens are equipped to participate in decision-making. In considering such questions, this course looks to both ancient and modern democratic theorists and analyses politics in both the ancient and post-modern worlds. The course relies heavily on historical and political simulations, such as those that are part of the Reacting to the Past series. The course is intended to invest students in democratic processes by asking them to consider fundamental questions about democracy while acting as democratic citizens. 4 SH. CC: Ethics.
