    I want to sincerely thank you guys for helping me study for my A.P. U.S. Government and Politics Exam. I binge watched your videos in the last couple of days before the exam. Watching your videos, using flashcards to study, looking over tests through the school year, and reading over my textbook helped me to get a 5 on the exam. This helps me even more for my future because I would like to major in Pre-Law or Political Science when I go to college. This will help lower the cost of college. So from the bottom of my heart thank you, thank you, thank you.

    The eagle revenge punch was the funniest part of this entire series.

      @gabipollard869 8 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      I'd say yes. It is important of each person to know how their government works to make better informed decision for the future of their nation. Also eagle punches.

    Just would like to thank you guys who make these videos. I didnt study at all for AP Gov, i had golf counties a few days after, had relationship issues, medical issues, and a lot of stress. I listened to this series and practiced golf in my yard. I got a freaking 5. You guys got me through high school. Thank you.

    @GabdeVue 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Thank you for this series. I am not from the US and found the views interesting - also that while produced in the US, you did not sugar coat everything (as economical grows > environmental policy). I am just in general thankful, that you provide indepth and yet entertaining education for free.
    I would like to know more about that table-discussion... seriously, what... how??? (and yeah, that's what i take from these videos... the most important aspects)

    Nothing beats watching this entire series in two days because you were lazy and decided to put it off just a little bit longer... until you realize that the AP exam is 3 days away and you still haven't watched it. My foolish actions aside, thank you very much for this wonderful review and Crash Course in U.S. Government and Politics!

  • @mayfly4000
    @mayfly4000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good show crash course. Whenever I talk about foreign policy everyone looks at me like it doesn't matter. My problem/fear is that even when electing officials, we seem to only be focusing on "how they effect us" instead of the rest of the world. War is a far bigger problem than tax policy, allies/enemies are more important than building statues, and so on... Simple fact is that America has the rest of its existence to debate taxes, minimum wage, economic divide and such, but foreign policy changes daily and the effects can be lasting. We change tax policy and domestic law every year, while there are countries who've threatened and hated us for +50 years. Nice work crash course & Craig.

    Bernie sanders may not have foreign policy experience but he does have excellent judgement. He has been on the right side of history when it was happening EVERY time. As apposed to hilary who caught up with the times after it was mainstream and pretends she had that view all along but hid it.

    I majored in International Relations and Diplomacy in college, and much of that was foreign policy. My senior year, I took an amazing upper-level class called "Strategies of War and Peace," taught by a man who was, and remains, very influential in American foreign policy (especially during the end of the Cold War), and I'll never forget what he said at the end of the class. It could be reworded as follows: "A very small group of people actually understand international relations and foreign policy. You are the ones that will shape events as future leaders." That summary pales in comparison to the final speech he gave. He made it seem like I was part of the elite and will inevitably be incredibly powerful and influential. Obviously, as I am only 23 and nowhere near where I'd like to be in my career, I've yet to build any nations or declare war. But still, there is something enormously empowering about a professor that has faith in your potential greatness.
