Answer: It's probably the most important in just enabling me to understand how our government works really because we cover so much stuff in government not just locally but nationally especially now with all the stories coming out about President Clinton and this alleged scandal. It is important to know how that system works. It is also important to know the different players in politics and I think just getting my degree in political science has enabled me to become familiar with who runs our country, who runs other countries and how they interact together.
