A5

1. The government affected my life yesterday by making me go to school, since it's against the law to not go to school.
2. I would say my dad cares more but he doesn't really know that much, we probably know about the same as one another. He prefers to watch stuff about politics in Mexico rather than American politics.
3. Hurricane Katrina was something that most people my age remember.
4. Libraries are funded by the government so that anybody can go and read books for free. Another public good would be public transportation such as the CAT buses in the city. Although not free, it is still a very affordable
5. Four linkage institution categories are elections, political parties, interest groups, and the media.

  • Elections- Presidiential elections, senatorial elections etc.
  • Political Parties- Democratic party
  • Interest groups- NAACP
  • Media- News stations; e.g.CNN, NBC, FOX
6.  Four categories of policymaking institutions are the presidency, Congress, courts, and bureaucracy.
7.
  • Obama- President
  • Tim Kaine- Senator
  • Sonia Sotomayor- Supreme Court judge
  • Chuck Hagel- Secretary of Defense
