Q1
(1)Voting:
We study governments so we can make an
educated decision when it comes to voting.
This means that you are not just going to
make your voting decision on a speech or
tv program that you see. You are going to
be able to have a clear understanding of
the different policies which are in place
and you can compare one party to another,
ensuring you make the right decision for
you.
(2)Knowledge:
Studying government gives you knowledge.
You are in a position to know more about
the government than ever before. If you do
not study governments then you are not
going to know all of the ins and outs of
politics.
(3)Future:
We can control the future of our country,
including political movements and
government decision making. Studying
government is going to ensure that you can
make a difference.
(4)Improvements:
There is always going to be the option to
make improvements within different
governments. If a government does not
have a clear idea on one of their policies,
this can be changed and improved over
time, and you can understand this when
you study the subject.
(5)Career choices:
Studying the government is going to open
many doors for you and you can decide
whether or not you want to go into a career
in politics (to make a difference as much
as you see fit).
There are many different reasons why we
study politics, and it is mainly to have a
clear understanding of how things operate
and to ensure that improvements can be
made in the future.
