商品簡介
Frantzich's (political science, U.S. Naval Academy) text evolved from a lecture he developed for the general public at the invitation of the Maryland Humanities Council. He begins with the premise that who we are as individuals within a society is based on where we live, what we know, how we know it, and the extent to which we utilize our knowledge to participate in the political realm. From this base, he examines ways in which powerful social and technological forces are changing these aspects of our existence, thus altering our roles as individuals and, in turn, the nature of American politics and government.
