1
Hi, I'm Craig.
2
I'm not John Green, but I do have patches on my elbows so I seem smart.
3
And this is Crash Course Government and Politics, a new show!
4
Hooray!
5
Why are fireworks legal or illegal?
6
We might find out.
7
Will we find out, Stan?
8
Anyway, I have a question for you.
9
Have you ever wondered where your tax dollars go?
10
Or why people complain about it so much?
11
Or who pays for the highway that runs past your house?
12
Or why you use the textbooks you use in science class?
13
Or why you need a license to drive, or to hunt, or to fish, or to become a barber.
14
I've always wanted to cut my own hair, back when I had it.
15
Have you ever wondered why you have to be 21 years old to drink alcohol, but only 18 to vote? Or gamble?
16
Sometimes voting is a gamble.
17
Actually always.
18
Do you get confused when you hear people on the news talk about Wall Street regulations, or Obamacare, or the national debt?
19
Do you wonder why there are so few cell phone carriers and cable companies?
20
How about why it's okay for student groups to lead prayers in schools, but not for the principal to do so?
21
Have you ever wondered if there are any limits on when, where, and how the police can search your home, or your car, or your locker, or you, or your friend, or your grandma, or your grandma's friend.
22
And do you know why you can stand outside of a government office with a sign
23
and a bullhorn complaining about military action that you think is unfair and the police can't stop you, but you can be fired from your job for doing the exact same thing?
24
Have you ever been sued or fined?
25
Ever wonder what the difference is between being sued or fined?
26
Have you ever wondered why our government does the things it does and doesn't do other things?
27
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we had no government at all?
28
That would be anarchy.
29
Can we play the Sex Pistols, Stan? that's probably illegal.
30
Why is it illegal?
31
And probably most important, have you ever thought about how you can change the things that seem unjust or unfair, or that you just don't like?
32
Okay, so that was more than one question, and obviously there isn't a single answer to all of those questions, except that, in a way, there is.
33
The study of government and politics.
34
And that's what we're going to talk about today, and this whole series, Crash Course Government and Politics, aptly titled.
35
So let's start by doing what human beings do when confronted with complicated questions they can't answer.
36
We'll answer a simpler one.
37
In this case, what are government and politics, and why do I need to learn about them?
38
Government is a set of rules and institutions people set up so that they can function together as a unified society.
39
Sometimes we call this a state, or a nation, or a country, or Guam, and I'll use these terms somewhat interchangeably, except for Guam, that might be a little confusing.
40
So, we study government in order to become better citizens.
41
Studying government enables us to participate in an informed way.
42
Anyone can participate, but doing so intelligently, that takes a little effort, and that's why we need to learn about how our government works.
43
Politics is a little different.
44
Politics is a term we use to describe how power is distributed in a government, and in the U .S it basically describes the decisions about who holds office, and how individuals and groups make those decisions.
45
Following politics is a lot like following sports, in that there's a winner and a loser, and people spend a lot of time predicting who will win, and analyzing why the winner won and the loser lost.
46
The outcome of an election might affect your life more than the outcome of a sports game, though.
47
Unless you're gambling, which might be illegal.
48
Government is really important.
49
Everyone born in America is automatically a citizen, and many people choose to become citizens every year so that they can have a say in the government.
50
The USA is a republic, which means that we elect representatives to govern us, and a democracy, which means that citizens are allowed to participate.
51
This ability to participate is something we take for granted, but we shouldn't.
52
History tells us that citizen participation is the exception rather than the rule.
53
But we're not going to look at history.
54
Who has time?
55
That's what history courses are for with that other guy.
56
So, one way people can participate in government is through voting, and many people will tell you that that's pretty much the only way we can participate in government or politics.
57
But they're wrong!
58
And I love pointing out when people are wrong.
59
Let's go to the Thought Bubble.
60
Sure, when you mark a ballot, you are participating in the political process, but there are so many other things you can do to be an active citizen.
61
You can contact your representatives and tell them what you think about a political issue.
62
People used to do this by writing letters or sending telegrams, but now they tend to call or send emails.
63
Although there's nothing like a good old -fashioned angry letter.
64
People can work for campaigns or raise money or give money.
65
They can display yard signs or bumper stickers.
66
They can canvass likely voters, try to convince them to vote or even drive them to the polls on election day.
67
You participate in politics when you answer a public opinion poll, or when you write a letter to the editor or comment on an online article.
68
You participate in politics when you blog or tumble or make a YouTube video or tweet.
69
I guess even YouTube comments count.
70
First, ever been to a march or a rally
71
or held a sign or worn a t -shirt with a slogan on it
72
or discussed an upcoming election at the dinner table and tried to convince your parents who to vote for?
73
You've participated in the political process.
74
And if you've actually run for office, you've participated, even if you didn't win.
75
And if you did win, congratulations!
76
Now get back to work, you should already know this.
77
But probably the most important thing you can do to participate in government
78
and politics is both the easiest and the most challenging.
79
Become more educated.
80
Anyone can be a citizen, but to be a good citizen requires an understanding of how the government works and how we can participate.
81
It requires knowledge and effort, and we have to do it because otherwise we end up being led rather than being leaders.
82
We learn about politics
83
because knowledge is our best defense against unscrupulous people who use our ignorance to get us to do the things
84
that they want rather than what we think should be done.
85
Thanks, Thought Bubble.
86
That was my first Thought Bubble narration.
87
Hooray!
88
You guys are fun.
89
This is fun.
90
So that's where we come in.
91
Over the course of this series, we will be looking in -depth at American government and politics.
92
We'll be talking about stuff like the structure and function of the branches of government, the division of power between the national government and the state governments, what political parties are, what they do, and how they are different from interest groups.
93
We'll examine the role the media plays in government and politics, how the legal system and the courts work, and how they protect civil rights and civil liberties.
94
We'll look at political ideologies, what it means to say you're a liberal, or a conservative, or a libertarian, or a socialist, or an anarchist.
95
Okay, we probably won't talk about anarchy, because that's sort of the rejection of government.
96
Again, sex pistols?
97
Again, it's a copyright issue.
98
I'll take care of it.
99
Anarchy!
100
Woo!
101
I've been known to do that from time to time.
102
We'll try to understand the forces that are shaping American government and politics today, and we'll work towards becoming more involved and developing our knowledge
103
so that we make our government more responsive and our politics more inclusive.
104
By the end of the series, and actually before the end, you will understand how our government works, and how you can make it work better for you and your community.
105
Not only will you be able to answer most of the questions I started this episode with, but you will become, if you pay attention and think for yourself, a more engaged and active citizen.
106
And you might have a beard, if you don't shave.
107
Next week we'll talk about Congress, how it works, and what it does, when it does anything.
108
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next week.
109
And that's my first Crash Course episode!
110
Are we out of poppers, Stan?
111
Wait, I'll just throw em.
112
Woohoo!
113
Woo!
114
Bang!
115
Woo!
116
Bang!
117
Bang!
118
Woohoo!

127
No?
128

129
Mm -mm.
130
Can't.

추천 영상

이 비디오로 영어 말하기 연습하는 이유

이 비디오는 일상적인 질문과 대화로 가득 차 있어 shadow speech 연습에 최적입니다. 크레이그가 쉬운 말투로 정부와 정치에 관한 복잡한 주제를 풀어내는 방식은, 자연스러운 영어 리듬과 억양을 배우는 데 도움을 줍니다. 특히 질문을 이어가는 구조나 일상적인 유머 표현은 영상 영어 공부에서 실용적인 대화력을 키우고 싶은 사람들에게 딱 맞습니다. 쉐도잉을 하다 보면 "왜 그런 규정이 있을까?" 같은 생각을 표현하는 법도 자연스럽게 배울 수 있어요.

문맥 속 문법 & 표현

  • "Have you ever wondered...": 과거 경험을 묻는 공통 표현으로, 질문을 이어가거나 상대방의 관심을 끌 때 자주 사용됩니다. 쉐도잉할 때 억양을 살려 말하면 더 자연스러워요.
  • "That's what... is for": "그게 ...의 목적이야"라는 뜻으로, 예를 들어 "That's what history courses are for"처럼 특정 일의 목적을 설명할 때 유용합니다.
  • "except for": "~를 제외하고"라는 뜻으로, 리스트에서 예외를 나타낼 때 사용됩니다. 비디오에서 "except for Guam"처럼 구체적인 예외를 강조할 때 자주 쓰입니다.

발음의 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. "anarchy"는 /ˈænərki/로 발음하는데, 중간의 "ar"이 약하게 들립니다. "scrupulous"는 /ˈskruːpjələs/로, "scru" 부분이 "스크루"가 아니라 "스크루"처럼 발음됩니다. 또한 크레이그는 말을 빠르게 하면서 "you know"나 "anyway" 같은 접속어를 많이 사용하는데, 이때 shadow speak 연습에서 부드럽게 따라가는 것이 중요합니다. 너무 빨리 따라하지 말고 리듬을 맞추는 데 집중해보세요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
