A Level Government and Politics

Course summary

Why do we have rules in Society? What is the point of the Government system? How does our system work and how does everyone play a part in it? Who holds the power to make things happen and create change? If you are interested in how our society functions then A Level Government and Politics may be right up your street. You will learn about the way decisions made by government influence people's lives and the way that people can participate in local, national and global politics. We study central values that underpin political life - liberalism, conservatism, socialism and anarchism - developing a critical understanding of their strengths and weaknesses as visions for the ideal society. A number of specifications will be changing and prospectus entries are based on information we have to date. This means that course content may be subject to change.
