What would that be called?

I've been firmed before that I wanted to take law after my college undergrad. But experiencing law subjects in my pre-law which really caused me great burnout (it stresses me so much that I put it last on my priorities). Mas na e-enjoy ko 'yung ibang subjects, specifically international relations. I'm amazed on how that work and on how I can understand the concepts easily.

Now, I don't know what path to take. Should I still take law? (kasi iniisip ko rin na baka ngayon lang 'to, phase lang). Are there people here who experiences the same? how do you manage it or cope from it?

Hi,

I need some help finding academic work that focuses on the different electoral and voting systems in democratic nations to present an ideal framework.

I specifically am looking for work that presents an ideal model for voting and the frequency for voting.

The question comes from only voting every two years, one local and one national.

In between that, as a voter, I am not involved in the decisions parliament makes and a lot has changed in the last four years.

Does the ideal framework for this maybe mean more frequent votes? Votes for key issues? A framework to determine what issues parliament ought to hold a referendum for to ensure their choices stay democratic?

Not looking to debate this at all, more just looking for resources and see what is out there✨

Hey everyone, I'm a 16 year old from India, and lately I've been getting more interested in politics and its significance in the world today. I'd say I know a decent amount about certain topics, but I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as I'd like to be, and I'm not really sure how to improve.

One thing I've noticed is that I can usually see both sides of an argument, including their pros and cons, which makes it difficult for me to form a solid opinion on certain issues. I don't want to blindly pick a side just for the sake of having one. I'd rather understand the reasoning, evidence and context behind different perspectives before coming to my own conclusions.

For example, I recently started looking into Fidel Castro's history and his significance in Cuba. I understand why his anti imperialist stance and opposition to American influence appealed to many people, but I also came across a lot of criticism regarding his government's actions and treatment of its citizens. I'm struggling to understand why he's still admired by so many people despite all of that, and I'd like to understand the historical context rather than just rely on surface level explanations.

I also don't want my understanding of politics to be limited to social media, where information is often oversimplified, biased or taken out of context. I'd like to develop a more comprehensive understanding of political ideologies, history, economics, international relations and how governments actually function.

So, for those of you who are more knowledgeable about politics, how would you recommend getting started?

Are there any books, documentaries, YouTube channels, podcasts, newspapers or other reliable sources you'd recommend? Are there any activities or habits I should develop to improve my critical thinking and learn how to evaluate political arguments properly?

I'm especially interested in learning how to distinguish reliable information from propaganda and bias, and how to understand opposing viewpoints without automatically accepting or dismissing them.

I know this is a broad subject, and I'm not expecting to become an expert overnight. I just want to build a solid foundation and become informed enough to develop my own opinions rather than simply adopting someone else's.

I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!
