Learners will navigate the complex landscape of international political systems, studying the unique systems of governance including but not limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, China, and Israel. Learners will explore how each country’s distinctive historical path — from revolutions and wars to ideological shifts and economic transformations — has sculpted its political institutions, influenced policy-making processes, and shaped the political culture and party systems. Beyond the acquisition of knowledge, this course aims to foster deeper reflection by encouraging students to reflect on their own assumptions, expectations, and values when encountering different countries and their political systems. In this course, there are no predefined "correct answers" in discussions. Instead, the fundamental principle is to challenge learners and develop their critical thinking skills, empowering them to develop their own conclusions. The information presented and the ensuing discussions are specifically designed to provoke thought, encouraging learners to analyze the raised issues and independently draw their own judgments about the various aspects of the political systems under scrutiny. In addition, the class offers the invaluable opportunity for learners to engage in educated and respectful discourse on key issues, emphasizing the importance of backing opinions with facts and sound reasoning. It is designed to foster an environment where all viewpoints can be explored with civility and mutual respect. This approach not only enhances the quality of discussions but also instills a vital life skill of informed analysis and discourse. By employing their critical thinking abilities, they will closely examine the inner workings, structures, and policies of different governments, allowing them to draw their own informed conclusions. This empowering experience will encourage learners to think independently, critically evaluate information, and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the diverse array of political systems we encounter on a global scale. No prior knowledge is required, as the course ensures a comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of each country's political system. This inclusive approach allows learners of all backgrounds to embark on this enlightening journey and broaden their understanding of the world's diverse political landscapes. Learners may join the course at any time, as we will offer a quick summary of relevant information from previous sessions to ensure learner understanding. *Please note that our exploration of each political system may evolve based on class interest and the depth of our discussions. As such, our schedule might adapt accordingly. I will endeavor to provide weekly updates to ensure that you have the most current information on our class plan.

父母的引導和規範
The study of world governments and their histories encompasses a wide range of topics, including those that are sensitive and complex, such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. It is important to note that discussions on religion will strictly focus on its historical aspects.
To ensure a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives by utilizing peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. This approach encourages learners to engage in critical and reflective thinking, particularly regarding the history of modern conflicts, security issues, religion, and economics related to the governments under examination. Throughout these discussions, the teacher will maintain a neutral and unbiased position, ensuring that all viewpoints are respected and considered from a secular standpoint.
Furthermore, I prioritize the presentation of content in a manner that is appropriate for learners of different age groups. Sensitivity and age-appropriateness are essential considerations, enabling students to comprehend and engage with the material in a meaningful and responsible manner.
供應清單

Furthermore, I pursued a Master of Education degree specializing in Secondary Social Sciences, which provided me with advanced knowledge in teaching history, political science, and related subjects.
