Political Science is a course that can help everyone given that they have taken the course understand politics better that a pedestrian crossing a street. Many reviewer of this course criticize it. According to the book Understanding the Political World by James Danziger, there are 4 criticisms of this course and the bottom line is –“There is no Science in Politics”. One thing I’ve learned from the past 4 terms of my stay here in La Salle is that, we can in deed formulate theories that can predict what’s going to happen in the realm of politics.
Yes, your analyses of most of the issues in politics are biased because of your political knowledge and socialization. But it doesn’t mean that we can’t formulate ideas that can help in the progress of politics. They say we cannot devise an idea that can really encapsulate politics because it is very complex and ever changing but I think they’re wrong! People engaging in politics have habits and from this habits we can generate ideas on how they will react in this world.
To everyone whos saying that there is no science in Politics – “tara usap tayo!”
