Which of the three main sources of political knowledge seems to have the most powerful impact on the contemporary political world? Why is this the case?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include description of political facts, explanations of how and why politics occurs as it does, or prescriptions of what should happen in the political world and then an explanation. For example, explanations of how and why politics occurs has the most powerful impact on the contemporary political world because it is based on empirical political knowledge (description) that people, practitioners, and experts can then use to craft policies that make life better for the people in that country. Prescriptions are normative and, because they are based on value judgements, can be biased.
