Election Reflection

Part 1:
I feel that the results of the election were expected to turn out as they did. I am personally glad that Obama won and felt that he deserved to win. Over the next few years it would be great if we can start pulling our troops out of Iraq and start fixing our economy I am also hoping our county can start relying on alternate energy sources. Some people ma be disappointed with how some of the props may have turned out. I'm concerned that some of the props might not help our community the way we would like them to.

Part 2:
My knowledge on civic knowledge has increased exponentially since the beginning of the year. Blogging has kept me up to date and helps me relate things we talk about in clas such as the social contract to current events such as the presidential debates.

I think we should have more class discussion on specific topics. Blogs that concentrate on a specific topic can sometimes make it easier to learn about the topic. When I'm in a political discussion outside of school I feae that I am more educated on the matter. my knowledge on politics also effects my opinion somewhat.
