Today's class was different and interesting. Who should be our guest
lecturer other than the one who we read about his futures article all

Jim Dator lectures for the class and his first question draws my
attention. What was our expectation for this class? At first, I thought
that we will be talking about political issues and when I took the
class we talked about future studies. I think that it was refreshing
that we learned a specific idea than talking about the meaning behind
the course name. We also talked about political oppression, the
structure of the American government and the three forms of nation
state. All this basic politics foundation goes back to history and it
was a really good reminder that opens up new idea and goes to look at
how different government functions. These ideas explaining the division
of power and separation of power in different government levels shows
that American is not really a democratic government as it says it is.
Why? Because from the three forms of nation state the unitary; governed
by parliament and is powered by the central government, the federal
powered by the central government and states, and the co federal equals

as successful as the other but what one governments has the another
government lacks.
