Hello all,
My name is Chris Horner and I am a double major here at Penn State World Campus for Advertising/Public Relations: Strategic Communications Option and Digital Multimedia Design. I originally lived in a small town in California called Cameron Park, just 30 minutes east of Sacramento, before me and my family moved out here to Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, about 20 miles from State College. This semester, I will be finishing up my first major before moving on to complete my second major for the next few years.
One of the reasons I took this class was primarily out of interest in the political field. Despite the divide amongst the political fields in today’s climate, I believe it’s important to learn about such a subject to broaden our knowledge and understand the issues we face. With this class in particular, I hope that I can gain a broader understanding of each of the different styles of leadership each country in the world has, and how these leaderships can affect their relationships with one another. Given the turmoil in the world, I want to be able to know where each of these countries are coming from in terms of overall goals and ideas, and perhaps look for ways in which to build better relationships with them.
I look forward to working with you all this semester.
Welcome to the class Chris. As a heads up, we don’t directly examine politics in this class. We examine culture, which can shape political beliefs and vice versa. Bellefonte is a really lovely town. My wife and I go over there from State College to eat every now and then. I look forward to working with you.
