While observing the political issues focus area, they transitioned very often to incorporate many issues, both local and foreign affairs. They started off by talking about Iran political turmoil and our involvement the instructor, Derrick Staton, presented the class with the issues in Iran. Then, he opened discussion to the whole class, in which there was a wide spectrum of beliefs, which made for a healthy debate. Derrick then talked about how our military is very powerful and receives more funding then anything else. The talk then shifted to KY and how our economy is booming under Bevin. He connected the growth and stability of economy to the road and highway systems in the area. After openly talking about KY’s growth and stability in relation to the power of the US, the teacher mate upcoming speaker. Some of these questions included: What is the greatest national threat; How did you prepare your work for FBI and did that prepare you for public office? They then broke off into groups for their final project, a debate.
This final project is a mock trial. At the end of GSP, political issues area is designing a mock trial called Utopia vs. Grayson Zayne. Grayson Zayne is accused of first-degree murder, but claimed that he was not the reason of Harder Finch’s death. With half the room serving on the persecution side and the other serving on defense, it should be an efficient debate. The location of debate, the focus area’s invited, and the date of the trial are not finalized at this time. However, based on their work ethic and focus in the classroom, this group will represent the GSP community in an astonishing way.
