“Economic issues like understanding tax codes and tax plans are important to students because some students are already working and earning money. The foreign policies are also important for students to understand because family members of some students are in the military, and some students are considering joining the military, Lastly, as Catholic students, it is important to fully understand Catholic Church teaching on matters of social justice.”
