I can truthfully say that I did find this course useful. I greatly appreciate gaining knowledge about how our economy/country operates and the basic concepts that can be utilized to analyze how individuals make choices.
The thing that I found most useful is also the thing that I
have changed my thinking about. This was
chapter three, particularly international trade. I enjoyed being able to read about the
benefits of trade and specialization and realize that there are benefits as
well as drawbacks. I love that that I
have learned some substantial concepts, and it’s exciting to know that I don’t
have to be uninformed or have set beliefs and make swift judgments. It can be easy to get caught up with what
other people are getting wound up about (like sending manufacturing jobs
overseas) and be blinded by others’ comments and what “seems” to be
happening. That is why I love learning
about alternate ways of thinking. It
prepares me to make informed decisions (which is amazing because I am
passionate about voting) as well as have valuable conversations.
Thank you so much for a great semester and wonderful studies!
