One of the main themes of the course is POWER. Think about how power is gained, kept, and changed. How have social organizations and the social contract changed to meet the needs and wants of society? (See 1. d. above)

Think about CONNECTIONS. Making connections will show a higher level of understanding than if you regurgitate facts about individual aspects of the course.
