Bachelor Degree - Political Science

We've all heard the jokes about the worthless bachelor degrees that people get. Those that major in these areas go through a lot of abuse. Give them credit because they're good sports for taking all the garbage we hand them. And probably there is no person more worthy of an applause than the kid who gets a bachelor degree in political science. Good heavens, what can you POSSIBLY do with one of those? Well, it may surprise you to find out that a bachelor degree in political science is one of the most popular degrees to get for one of the most popular and oldest professions. We're talking about those good old ambulance chasing lawyers.
Say what you want about lawyers too, but these people make an awful lot of money. And guess what? They earn every penny of it. Anyone who has passed the bar will tell you that. It's not easy. But for now we're just talking about getting a bachelor degree in political science. Just what is involved? What courses do you have to take? What supporting courses?
Political science is one of those areas where you can go to five different colleges and end up getting five different curriculums. There really isn't much of a standard when it comes to political science majors. Usually, your first year, you'll take an introduction to political science. For those of you who are wondering just what that covers, just go to any college web site and look it up. The description you'll get is something along the lines of "a broad range of topics". Doesn't tell you much, does it. The truth is, political science really does cover a very broad range of topics from local government to federal government to history. Most of the history part covers items that are most directly related to government policy. For example, a political science history course may cover race riots in the 60s and how they led to equal rights laws. What you won't find is history such as, Columbus discovering America, though you could probably make an argument for how that relates to politics as well.

Vehicle Technology Is Racing Towards the Information Superhighway!

More than five years ago, one of the U.S. domestic automakers introduced a plan to bring Bluetooth-driven technology to the forefront of their vehicles. Since then almost all auto manufacturers are racing to introduce new vehicle technologies as fast as they can. Many consumers embrace the new technologies, while a sizable number have raised the question - has it gone too far? In early 2011, Consumer Reports, a widely read consumer magazine, actually gave a negative review of then new Ford 2011 Edge equipped with the new MyFord Touch technology. Their editorial staff claimed the vehicle's technology was not "user-friendly." They felt automakers were forcing technology down the throats of consumers. On the other side of the technology coin, cell phone companies have been competing for the consumer to adopt smartphone technology. There's an App for this and an App for that, and it was inevitable that the demand for smartphone technologies would affect the sale of ...

An Entrepreneurial Development Framework for Institutions of Higher Education

Introduction With increased globalization people have seen the need to increase wealth creation especially within the underdeveloped Third World. It has also become evident that neither the government nor the formal sector can supply the necessary job creation without a sustained effort and partnerships between all sectors of the economy. One means of creating work opportunities will be the development of entrepreneurial and innovative skills within the country. The creation of such job opportunities by encouraging entrepreneurial innovation has been well illustrated by Dana, Korot and Tovstiga (2005:12) in Silicon Valley, Israel, Singapore and the Netherlands. These authors report that in the narrow 35 mile by 10 mile corridor within Silicon Valley 6,500 technology enterprises are located. Singapore is home to almost 100,000 entrepreneurs and had a per capita GDP of US$42,948.00 during 2004 and an annual growth rate of 8.8% (Singapore Statistics, 2006). In addition higher educat...
