This course focuses on how all three topics/concepts/themes affect each of us and our participation in the American political process. We begin with a basic historical review of what the concept of democracy is, then we add the concept of citizenship to the discussion and finally the media is thrown into the discussion in relation to how the media shapes democratic values and the role of citizenship.
