Course Description

There has been an increasing need to provide civics education to adults over the past few years. Recently, we have seen a growing division among people on social media, television and in person. The ability to civilly discuss ideas, differing viewpoints, and varied political philosophies has quickly eroded into shouting matches and cancel culture. Part of this hostility can be traced to civic illiteracy and a lack of basic understanding of government. When people lack the proper education to take a position and support it with reasoning, they tend to shout their ideas rather than reason them out. This course will provide participants the opportunity to hear non-partisan views on topics such as basic ideas of government, the influence of Enlightenment philosophers, debates at the Constitutional Convention, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, political parties, the 14th Amendment and voting and citizenship rights. These topics, intertwined with answering questions, will give you a richer understanding of the basics of civics and government.
