Study Politics
through c6 At Ryburn Sixth
Politics impacts all aspects of life and goes a long way to shape the world we live in. The exercise of power by the state over an individual is a fascinating subject to study. How much power do we really have over our lives? When should the state intervene? Who really pulls the strings in government? How democratic are we? What are the ideas that lie behind politics? How do we compare with the USA?
