Introduction: Hey my name is Kaitlin my major is Nursing.

I am working towards eventually getting my master in nursing!

• I thought this was a

funny because of the

recent debate over this

issue and how it is okay

to sexualize women but

many people feel it is disturbing

for a women to breast fed their

Child in public.

WHAT THING MOTIVATE YOU THE MOST TO BECOME AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN OUR

POLITICAL SYSTEM.

I had the opportunity to vote this year and their was something very special to me I felt that I was able to make a difference in our government.

I hope to help change in the future more of the medical aspects of our government such as insurance and other things that goes along with that.

Things that I have learned this semester that surprised

you about the Federal Government Process.

The main thing that I learned in this class was how important we as students and citizens affect the federal government.

I never knew that we could have such an impacted and I know now that we should stand up for what we think is right and that we have the power to change the future even if it is just in a little way.

Political issue

I think being in the health care setting, the main political issue that relates to me and I believe that is the important as of right now is the insurances and how many people do not have any health insurances. I hope with this new presidency we shall have a better plan to deal with health insurance and the complexities behind this political issue.

MOST IMPORTANT AMENDMENT!

I believe the most important amendment is the first amendment “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. I mean it is the first amendment right. It is one of the most important rights that American’s have and one that many lose sight of. We have the right to free speech, we have the power to change, and it with that power that we can chose to do something great or runaway and not speak up and make that change!

Lessons that I have learned.

One lesson that I learned was to speak up to make a change and to stand up for what I believe is right.

Another lesson I learned was that I became more of a critical thinker and that I learned to understand how other students thought and learned new things from the discussion that I would have never thought of before.

I also learned that there is power in our voices and we must vote or protest for what we think is right and that in order for our future to grow we must all work together and be united in this government and the united states as a whole.
