Why politics and government are important 

Although Government and Politics tend to be viewed negatively by many people, most will agree that in the 20th Century government made decisions and took actions that improved the life of citizens. Examples include Social Security, Medicare, civil rights acts, clean water and clean air acts, protection of national parks and forests, a strong defense that has secured world peace, child labor laws, product safety laws, and  higher education opportunities.  Government and industry have often worked together to bring about progress. The Panama Canal, landing humans on the moon, medical research, computer research, and transportation systems are a few examples.
