    10:30 amHSC T2

    In this course, we will analyze and evaluate events, issues and ideas in our world, all of which influence contemporary American society. We will view political situations, economic conditions and cultural issues as well as local, national and international news.  Come prepared to listen, discuss and even debate the pros and cons of these contemporary issues. Who knows, perhaps together we can brainstorm and strategize some possible solutions to recommend to our politicians at the local and state levels who can then pass our wisdom along to the national powers that be.  United, our voices have meaning!
