Current affairs is a fluid class, and as such it is very difficult to have a set upon syllabus with defined dates. We follow the news everyday and concurrently have several units of study. These include: media and technology, constitutional issues, guns, crime and punishment, immigration, poverty, environmental issues, and foreign affairs. There certainly will be other topics that will be discussed and studied outside these units as well.
