During this course, we will discuss contemporary issues in American politics. Specifically, we will explore the following topics: the economy, global climate warming, the Second Amendment and gun rights, immigration, the influence of the media, morality politics (LGBTQ issues, capital punishment, reproductive rights), sports culture, and election outcomes. Overall, we are concerned with (1) the public's perception of society's prevalent issues and (2) voting behavior among Americas. We will also discuss how misleading or incorrect information can influence public opinion and what can be done to prevent or impede the spread of misinformation.
