Problem 1: What effects do local and state governments have on your day-to-day life? Give precise instances.
Problem 2: Why do people generally know so little about state and local government operations, given that states and localities are more pervasive in our daily lives than the federal government and that people are more likely to trust their state representative than a member of Congress? What steps can be taken to enhance the general public's comprehension of state and local government?
Problem 3: What would you say is the extent of your political knowledge? What effects personally do you say present habits have on these results? (Always be truthful!) Where do you find the majority of the political information you know? Are those trustworthy sources? How often do you come across arguments or viewpoints that contradict your own? Do you usually consider your options before forming political opinions, or do you usually make snap decisions?
