Other (Not Listed) Instructions:

Do you know what the president of the United States, your state senators, and your representative are doing about (a) sweatshops and (b) funding for higher education? If you do not know, explain why you think you are unaware of their positions on these issues. Would their position influence your vote for them? Share your explanation of why or why not with your classmates.
Sociologists note that although sociological studies have pointed out good solutions to social issues they have been largely ignored by governmental leaders and the media. Go to the American Sociological Association website (www(dot)asanet(dot)org (Links to an external site.)) or the Society for the Study of Social Problems website (www(dot)sssp1(dot)org (Links to an external site.)). Take a look around each site and find a research study that provides a good basis for the use of sociological research in public policy. Share with your classmates what you located and how this evidence could benefit government leaders in their decision-making.
Based on what was presented in Chapter 3, describe how you would determine if a politician is providing you with trustworthy or misleading information.

Political Engagement and Knowledge
Part 1
I am not aware of what the president, state senators, or representatives are doing to address the issues of sweatshops and funding for public universities. I do not see these subjects on any of the newer media sites. I am not interested in finding out what they are doing about these issues for the most part. I may not vote for them because of their positions. If it were election season and I had some idea of their position on the issues, I would probably do some additional research and then decide whether or not to vote for them. If they were doing something positive about the issues, these leaders would be on my voting list. I do not favor low salaries and risky working conditions in sweatshops, so if the leadership can do anything about it, I will be on board with them.
