Understanding U.S. Politics and Influence in the World

a. Explain an issue you feel is important to think about and give some background facts about it. Frame the debate about the issue by addressing both sides of it (or multiple sides if necessary) and presenting the basic puzzle/problem as you understand it. If there has been an official response to the issue/problem by the government (or lack thereof) make sure to address this in your explanation of the facts. b. Post the link to the article or news source from which you gained perspective on the issue.
