Western Outlook into Classical Studies Past Review
By Anthony H (Political Science and Government., SUNY - College at Geneseo) for
SUNY Geneseo: Traveling - Mediterranean Roots Summer Program
I truly believe I want to learn more about business & law. As a political science major I was able to see how different governments work & how the masses react to their governments around the world. Now I understand what media tells you is not always the whole story or how it can be changed to make you think of something else.
