Americans have long believed that the United States does not enter foreign conflicts, wars, etc. unless “forced” to do so. For example, George W. Bush commented in his 2001 inaugural address that America had gone out into the world to protect, not to possess; and to defend, not to conquer. Do you agree or disagree with this statement related to American foreign policy from 1880-1920? Give examples to support your position.

The United States (U.S.) and United Kingdom (U.K.) are two very interesting countries.

Explain how and why different socialization agents affected the structure of these political systems.

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of U.S. and U.K. political systems.
Explanation of how and why different socialization agents affected the structure of the U.S. and U.K. political systems.
Evaluation of one U.S. policy program and one U.K. policy program to determine if they meet the needs of their respective populations.
