E Pluribus Unum

Now that I have established a basic understanding on my views of government and their purpose in our society I would like to share why I am interested in Government and Political Science. Throughout my entire life I have always wanted to make a difference in the world, as cliche as that sounds. I had no way to achieve this goal until I had become more interested in the United States Government and Political Science in general. In the future, to accomplish my long term goal, I plan to pursue a career in government. Currently, I am unsure what part of government I would like to pursue, but throughout my academic career I believe I will find my passion in politics and government.

There has always been a negative stigma that surrounds politics. Many people view it as a group of people arguing and achieving nothing of importance. And although at times that may be the case, the government is instrumental in the maintenance and control of the nation along with many other important aspects of our lives. Politics effects every single person worldwide, although, it may be positive or negative. Getting involved in government and politics can cause positive change whether it be at a local or national stage, which are equally important for a society to run efficiently and properly.
