Welcome!
In this full year course that fulfills the New York State Senior Year Requirements students will spend one semester on studying Economics and one semester on US Government. The Economics semester will be an overview of the American economic system. While the emphasis will be on America's economic conditions, attention will be paid to international economic problems, such as “globalization.” Students will examine product and factor markets, economic growth, inflation and employment, economic indicators, distributive justice and trade from each government level. A heavy emphasis will be placed around the district's strategic goal of financial literacy and personal finance concepts.
During the semester devoted to Government students will examine the development of the United States government from its philosophical foundations to current legal/social issues as they relate to and impact the varying aspects of state, local, and national governments. The role of a citizen will be examined in relation to political participation, legal obligations, public policy issues, social issues and overall rights and responsibilities. Throughout both semesters current events and economic trends/developments will be examined using the concepts developed early in the course and students will be encouraged to become more active citizens.
