The Political and Economic Spectrum Explained

By A.M. Novoa

How did we get here? I think many people are scratching theirs heads and asking that very same question. There has been a period of apathy in America for a very long time. Many of us, in the past, have been content to live our lives not paying a whole lot of attention to politics or current events in our world. The number of people that didn’t vote in previous elections in the last thirty years is staggering.

Children, as far as I know, are not being taught about the political and economic spectrum in schools. If you are a teacher and you are teaching this, then I applaud you. Keep up the good work. However, I think most Americans have lost touch with what had made this country great and how it got to be that way in the first place.

Our founding fathers didn’t just throw our structure of government together with an absence of any fore thought. They had experienced tyrannical monarchies and saw the destructive nature and results of such governments. Freedom from tyranny is the reason that many, many people have crossed oceans and risked their lives to make the United States of America their home.

In the three videos below political and economic spectrum is explained. I encourage you to watch it and share it with anyone who has the desire to gain more of an understanding about what is happening to our country.
