Our group chose the articles we did because we felt that they were relevant to students our age. We ourselves are concerned with both the upcoming election as well as the possibility that tuition policies may change. we focused on issues concerning the election and economy so we could get a better understanding of what was going on around us. Even the international article served to highlight the benefits of our own political system and put our country into perspective. Our central article about Baruch brought this concept home, illustrating on a much more personal scale what happens when a political system fails its constituents and a plan backfires.
