17 Here s a clip from Thank You for Smoking that says something important about thinking
18 Thank You for Smoking
19 Scene takeaways: *Don t be a sheep **Think for yourself
20 Princeton Professor discussing the dangers of groupthink with Fox News host Tucker Carlson
21 What s the takeaway here?
22 THINK FOR YOUR FREAKING SELF!!!
23 Dr Carlton Oler recently told me something else relevant: *Emotions are stupid, emotions are low IQ. *My take away: Don t think with your emotions, think with your brain, not your backside, which is how I characterize emotional thinking
24 We believe that to err is human. To blame it on someone else is politics. -Hubert Humphrey Disclaimer: there s much truth here--politicians spend most of their time blaming others for problems rather than solving them
25
26 Let s start with a real definition
27 ABOUT FREAKING TIME
28 Politics: Poli a Latin word meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures".
29 So politics literally means many bloodsucking creatures
30 I m joking obviously BUT seems kinda accurate in some ways, no?
31 There are many definitions of politics
32 Here s the class definition though
33 Politics and Political Science What is politics? According to Dye (p3) it is the process which determines who gets what, when and how (H. Lasswell) Questions Political Scientists study -Who governs? -By what means? -For what ends?
34 Important concepts associated with politics
35 Question: What is government? a. Dye (p 5) says it is an organization extending to the whole society that can legitimately use force to carry out its decisions
36 Question: What is government? b. Turetzky says government is an institution that makes and enforces the law. It has a monopoly on the use of force and that force sometimes has to be used to enforce the law
37 Purposes of Government What are the purposes of government? *Preamble to the Constitution has the answers 1. To establish justice and insure domestic tranquility 2. To provide for the common defense
38 Purposes of Government What are the purposes of government? 3. To promote the general welfare 4. To secure the blessings of liberty
39 Power-Some questions Question 1: -What is power? Why is it so essential in politics?
40 Answer: -Dye essentially says it is the ability to control and shape events. To get someone to do what they wouldn t ordinarily do This is where government comes in. It has the POWER to force you to do what you don t want to do In a democracy, we grant governments this power
41 Question1: Are there potential problems with the government having a monopoly on power to make and enforce laws?
42 Question2: what are the safeguards the founders built into the system to protect us against government misuse and abuse of power?
43 Democracy What is democracy? Democratic Ideals: -Greeks argued it was about people governing themselves ( rule by many ) -Democratic ideals include individual dignity, equality, participation in DM, majority rule -Our founders didn t like Greek style democracy AT ALL Why not?
44 Paradox of Democracy Paradox of democracy i.e., the potential for conflict between majority rule and individual freedom? Question: How did Madison and the other founding fathers try and deal with this potentially disastrous problem? Here s an example
45 Government Power How do these different types of government power differ from each other? Totalitarianism Authoritarianism Constitutional government
46 Direct Democracy Question: What is Direct Democracy ( pure democracy ) and how practical is it in such a large, extended republic like ours?
47 Representative Democracy Characteristics of representative democracies: Representatives are selected by vote of all the people. Elections are open to competition. Candidates and voters can freely express themselves. Representatives are selected periodically.
48 Who is really in charge? One of the central arguments in the field of political science centers on who is really in charge of the system, who really has the power. Some say that elites have all the power, whilst others say the people exercise power through group competition. Lets take a quick look at these perspectives The Elitist Perspective What is the Elitist Perspective? -Dye (p 17): It is a political system in which power is concentrated in the hands of a relatively small group of individuals or institutions According to Dye, Elitism is characterized by: -An elite being inevitable in any social organization -The few having the power and the many not having it. Elites make decisions, not the many -Only a few thousand people directly participating in decisions about war, taxes, employment, etc (Dye, p16) -Elite status being open to talented people and the idea that elites aren t JUST selfserving
49 The Pluralist Perspective What is the pluralist perspective? -Dye (p18): It is the idea that democracy can be achieved through competition among multiple organized groups and that individuals can participate in politics through group memberships and elections Pluralism is characterized by: Competition Bargaining Compromise
