Unit #1: Political Ideologies:

This week we will begin our unit on Political Ideologies.  Understanding the differences between "conservatives" and "liberals" in government is incredibly important, as it helps to distinguish the belief systems of those who make the decisions that affect us on a day to day basis.  The highlight of this unit will be students determining their own political ideologies while simultaneously learning the differences between "conservatives" and "liberals", and how this affects our two major political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans.
