AP Comparative Government & Politics
AP Comparative Government and Politics introduces students to the rich diversity of political life outside the United States. The course uses a comparative approach to examine the political structures; policies; and the political, economic, and social challenges among six selected countries: Great Britain and the European Union, Russia, China, Mexico, Iran, and Nigeria. Each of these countries represent either advanced democracies, communist and post-communist, newly industrialized, and lesser-developed governments. Additionally, students examine how different governments solve similar problems by comparing the effectiveness of approaches to many global issues. U.S. Government and Civics
Students will study the purposes, principles, and practices of American government as established by the Constitution. Students are expected to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens and how to exercise these rights and responsibilities in local, state, and national government. Students will learn the structure and processes of the government of the state of Tennessee and various local governments. The reading of primary source documents is a key feature of United States Government and Civics standards. Sociology
Sociology deals with the scientific study of group behavior. It involves the study of societal changes and how these changes lead to social problems. Students will discuss, and research data and information to a wide range of problems such as poverty, delinquency, discrimination, deviancy, family breakdown, and many more. Causes, consequences, and solutions are examined as part of the course. Students will participate in group research projects and activities throughout the course.
