IRB Intro Post #2

Throughout the second quarter of the school year, I will be reading Politics, written by Aristotle circa 330 BCE. Aristotle laid the foundation of many current political policies and concepts, and I have an interest in observing the development of these political ideas. Likewise, supporting my interest in psychology and human nature, much of Aristotle’s writing focuses on the effective organization of humans to then achieve an effective governing body. Aristotle, as defined on the back cover, sought to define the exact balance between branches of government, a concept that is currently being replicated in 21st century America. I hope to gain a greater understanding of human nature and organization in order to form my own principles, in turn allowing me to be involved as a politically informed citizen.
