藉由此課程，學生將會對美國政府與政治有基礎且扎實的認識，並在理論基礎上學習分析、進而批判美國社會重要議題。這是一門介紹美國政治及其重要議題的入門課程，對美國政治有興趣的同學，能在這門課學到基本(卻重要)的理論結構，並用這幾個架構審視美國當今重要議題，包括(但不限於)：出兵伊拉克、墮胎、胎盤研究，槍枝管制、教育改革、同性戀結婚、貧富差距、非法移民、仇恨性言論、弱勢族群政策等等。修習此課程的同學，應該開始注意美國方面新聞，收視CNN、紐約時報等網路免費英文媒介，同學對英文的理解能力不會是評分依據，但多多接觸美式英語有助於同學對美國政治產生｢在地性｣的理解(Insider’s perspective)。Through this course, students will have a basic and solid understanding of the US government and politics, and will learn analysis based on theoretical basis and criticize important issues of American society. This is an introductory course that introduces American politics and its important topics. Students who are interested in American politics can learn basic (very important) theoretical structures in this course, and use these structures to review important topics in the United States today, including (but not limited to): sending troops to Iraq, fetal fertility, fetal plaque research, gun control, education reform, same-sex marriage, wealthy gap, illegal immigration, hatred speech, weak ethnic policy, etc. Students who take this course should start paying attention to US news and refer to free online English media such as CNN and New York Times. Students' ability to understand English will not be based on ratings, but more exposure to American English will help students develop "local" understanding of American politics (Insider's perspective).
前半段上美國立國精神、行政、立法、司法；後半段上當代美國議題。
The first half of the United States is the spirit, administration, legislation, and justice; the second half of the United States is the topic of contemporary American opinion.
