I
decided to take Green Politics this semester because I hope to gain a better
understanding of the green political movement both on a national and
international level. During my
first semester of freshman year at USC, I took Poli121: Green Explorations and
was able to gain some insight into what green values are. I therefore hope to expand upon this
knowledge and learn how these values are translated into the political world.
What
interests me about green politics is that it really recognizes the importance
of the environment and is willing to give environmental issues the attention
that they need. I am also
intrigued by the non-hierarchical structure that is often incorporated in green
politics. When I think of
politics, I often think of hierarchy so it’s refreshing to learn that a
political system exists that makes an effort to step away from the traditional
hierarchical design structure.
In
this course, I hope to explore what is really means to be “green”. I am especially excited to participate
on one of the project teams of Sustainable Carolina and I feel that this
experience will really help expand upon my own ideas of what I believe to be “green”. More specifically, I am excited to
learn about the green political thought topics that we will be studying in
class because I do not know much about any of the topics but I think that they
all sound very interesting.
