Political Power And Action
Visão Geral
Who gets to decide, and how can ordinary people make their voices count? Political power and action is the study of how decisions are made in a society and how citizens try to shape them, through voting, campaigning, protest, the courts and the media. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index 2024 reported that fewer than 7 percent of the world's people lived in a full democracy, while around 39 percent lived under authoritarian rule, so this is not an abstract question. It touches the daily life of almost everyone on the planet.
This note does not tell you which political system is best. Global Perspectives never does. Instead it teaches you to see the issue from a citizen's, a country's and the world's point of view, to weigh genuine arguments against their counter-arguments, to judge sources that are often heavily spun, and to reason toward realistic action. That balanced, evidence-led habit of mind is what your report, your team project and Paper 1 all reward.
Objetivos
