First, consider what you have learned about the financial crisis, politics, institutions, like the Federal Reserve, and the aftermath of the crisis in the United States and Europe (and, of course, in Europe there is a continuing debt crisis). Has your study in this class changed your perspectives on the economic crisis itself, politics or any aspect of recent American history? Or has study in the course influenced your perspectives on the European crisis? In answering these questions consider whether or not some knowledge acquired in this course has influenced your perspective and the way you think: describe that knowledge and explain how it has influenced or changed your perspective or thinking.
