Actually I hate politics so when teacher said we will study basic about American Politic, I was almost freaked out. I even don’t know Korean politics and have no interest in politics and… “What?!” However more I read the contents the more I have interested in. America has quite similar system with Korean’s, so it was kind of easy to understand the texts. The problem was ‘words’. At the first time, I didn’t know difference between ‘House’ and ‘house’ so I thought the two houses indicate same meaning. At last, I figured out that House is the short word for ‘House of Representatives’ and house is the higher concept of Senate and House. Moreover, because I didn’t check the word which I don’t know what it means at first read, so I didn’t know the meaning of the Senate and House. Anyway, still there were and there are many confusing things to me but it is quite fun to know other country’s politics.
Among the United States of American’s politics, most interesting part to me was ‘Election Process’. I used to think America’s election method is kind of unfair and I still think like that. In the United States of America, the people don’t vote to candidates directly. They vote to electors who will vote to candidates. This system has many problems. For example, if a candidate A got ten votes from Portland and candidate B got twelve votes from Portland. In Los Angeles, candidate A got eighteen votes and candidate B got ten votes. Meanwhile there are five and eight electors each State. Then totally, candidate A got twenty eight votes and candidate B got twenty two votes and it seems candidate A will be a president. In deed, however, president will be candidate B according to the number of the electors. This is a truly unfair system.
After studying American politics, it was really useful and felt good that I know something more about America’s politics than past me. Moreover it was really great that not only I learnt more about American politics, but also I learnt politics term in English.

You have to know about politics because it's going to help understnad many stuff.
politics helps the people know what's going around them, what's going in the country or world out there , and probably help you understand the "Rule Of Life" as i call it ^^.
