There is nothing objectionable or sensitive as this is a high school level US and World government class written to meet AP and common core standards and is high school level. This class will factually address the features and examples of a variety of governmental styles in an objective way with no attempt to sensationalize or provoke an emotional response. As I have lived in multiple countries, and my husband is a citizen of another country, I do not attempt to present any personal viewpoint, but rather help students meet educational requirements for a high school level government course.
Students should purchase the textbook for this course. We will also read provided primary documents.
