Foreign Policy: Crash Course Government and Politics #50
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2016
- Today Craig finishes up our series on U.S. Government and Politics by talking about both the least and most important aspect of government: foreign policy. Foreign policy is important because it has the potential to affect the largest number of people, but at the same time, it tends to play a minimal role in our perception of the government (unless we’re at war). Foreign policy addresses diplomacy, security, human rights, economics, and the environment at a global scale, and we’re going to talk about how our government has approached each of these policies in the past and which it tends to hold most important. As with all things political, the decisions made in fulfilling these policies can be pretty controversial, especially when considering that the President often has the last word in these issues.
We hope this series has helped you better understand the way the U.S. government works and hopefully encouraged you to participate in the political process - here or wherever you may live. Thank you so much for watching!

I want to sincerely thank you guys for helping me study for my A.P. U.S. Government and Politics Exam. I binge watched your videos in the last couple of days before the exam. Watching your videos, using flashcards to study, looking over tests through the school year, and reading over my textbook helped me to get a 5 on the exam. This helps me even more for my future because I would like to major in Pre-Law or Political Science when I go to college. This will help lower the cost of college. So from the bottom of my heart thank you, thank you, thank you.
The eagle revenge punch was the funniest part of this entire series.
I don't think the series was supposed to be a comedy
LOL
The Eagle Strikes Back
Thursday is my AP test thanks for everything
BRO, spoilers
THAT WAS THE BEST ENDING TO THE SERIES I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR! That sweet revenge.
Craig got pwned. 😂
That eagle gag at the end was top notch. Good send off. Thanks for the show wheezy!
+Taylor Bennett I was expecting them to have a small craig figurine for the eagle to punch
That ending though!
Craig got rekt.
Yeah
Saw it coming, but still loved it
+DKlarations That was awesome!! Didn't see it coming.
I was not expecting that. I had to replay it because I blinked.
I yelled out "AMERICA" when eagle punched Craig. I'll miss you Craig and eagle.
For those of you who have finished this series, is it worth watching?
+marinepower Yes.
+19Szabolcs91 thanks!
Yes
+marinepower Depends on the age of the viewer. If you are 12 then absolutely. if you are 30 you should be wasting your time.
I'd say yes. It is important of each person to know how their government works to make better informed decision for the future of their nation. Also eagle punches.
Who else is here for online classes? Or is it just me?
You're not lonely out here
just finished, think i'm ready for tmrw. GOOD LUCK y'all
You know very well that you are not the only one.
Sudeep Joseph Sirivella other people could have been assigned to other videos 🤷🏾♀️
Rama R thanks! Lol I’m starting to wait till the end of the week to finish all my classes 🤦🏾♀️ it’s such a pain but good luck to you too
Fuck yeah, go me!
I almost choked on my drink at the eagle revenge punch.
As a Canadian, I learned a lot from this series! You should make a follow-up series on international politics, or political theory.
I would never have guessed that an eagle would have blind sided you. Quite appropriate, yet unexpected
Thanks for doing this series, Craig! You made a potentially boring topic into a fun one.
Was the eagle reading the teleprompter during the outro... or was he just *winging* it?
Bad pun, I know. Humor is not a strong *talon* of mine :(
+Master Therion made me chuckle and its better than a flame war comment.
roguedogx Thanks. I know what you are talking about. Political discussions can get ugly, especially in UA-cam comments.
lol fail
hit us with the puns
bro epic bro proud of u bro continue bro
I'm Thankful that I was able to watch this entire series and come away learning a ton of stuff I hadn't an idea of prior. Happy Thanksgiving Craig and the Crash Course team!
I exploded when the big eagle happened
+Fiaca Saw this right before it happened. I was like "What bi- OH SHIT! Get rekt m8!"
Just would like to thank you guys who make these videos. I didnt study at all for AP Gov, i had golf counties a few days after, had relationship issues, medical issues, and a lot of stress. I listened to this series and practiced golf in my yard. I got a freaking 5. You guys got me through high school. Thank you.
Can we get a second season of this like we got with world history?
That's it? No more? Bring this guy back he is great.
The eagle finaly got revenge.
+Fezdalek Abraian Eagle for president 2016
Thank you Craig for carrying me through highschool and college, you're a real one man
Thank you for this series. I am not from the US and found the views interesting - also that while produced in the US, you did not sugar coat everything (as economical grows > environmental policy). I am just in general thankful, that you provide indepth and yet entertaining education for free.
I would like to know more about that table-discussion... seriously, what... how??? (and yeah, that's what i take from these videos... the most important aspects)
Thank you Craig for helping me study for my Advanced Placement U.S. Gov exam in a funny and interesting way!
are you too good to say AP? jk hope u did good
Craig, you were a great John.
You know what's cute:
"making the world a better place" part.
You're the best crashcourse host. We need moar!
I'll miss you, Craig. Great series guys! ^^ hope to see the sequel someday ^^
I was hoping the series would end this way and I wasn't disappointed!
Thank you Craig & CrashCourse for this amazing primer on US gov & politics. I'm starting law school in the fall and this was the perfect refresher, and I learned a lot I didn't know before, too.
Kinda wish this episode was expanded into a full IR Crash Course. Love all of y'all's videos!
I bet that eagle is happy this is the last video....
never thought I'd be sad at the end of a politics class
Thanks for an awesome series, Craig!! :D
Nothing beats watching this entire series in two days because you were lazy and decided to put it off just a little bit longer... until you realize that the AP exam is 3 days away and you still haven't watched it. My foolish actions aside, thank you very much for this wonderful review and Crash Course in U.S. Government and Politics!
US politics can be very confusing, really enjoyed this series of Crash Course. Well done Craig!
Craig you are an awesome teacher and I loved this series. Learnt a lot. Thank you so much
Looks like the eagle finally got some revenge, I'll miss these videos :-)
Excellent series, Craig! I've been watching the whole way and learned a lot. Thank you.
Just got finished with the series. You make these hard concepts really easy to understand. Thank you so much this really helped me!
The eagle got the last word! Nice! Great job, Craig; I really hope you'll do more Crash Course series.
Amazing course! Enjoyed every single episode. Thank you!
Yes! Totally was not expecting it, but I'm glad you got what you deserve for all that eagle punching! ...I replayed it a good 30 times...
Thank you for doing this series!
Thank you so much CrashCourse for making this series! Craig, you were awesome! I learned so much and enjoyed watching. Wish me luck on my government final!

***** haha true!!
I'm gonna miss this series, a lot. Thanks for all the information and entertainment.
Great show! Thanks for all the valuable insight into the politics of America.
This was a great season. I loved Craig as a host, the subject was currently relevant without getting too much into 'politics', and finally... FINALLY there is justice for that Eagle. 10/10 :D
last minute morning cramming before the ap government exam. may the fourth be with you today, good luck to everyone taking it!
My God, the ending is PURE GOLD!!

THANK YOU, Crash Course. Craig should do some more videos.
Should you watch the whole series? Yes, even though he is not John Green and looks vaguely like a sea otter. very informitive, engaging and funny.
That ending. Gold.
9:24 The eagle finally got revenge!
This has been very informative; thank you Craig.

Thanks Craig, PBS and Crash Course for a great series. It has definitely been worth watching. The end of this episode made me laugh
Nooooo. I like this series the most. Thanks for 50 weeks of awesome, Craig.
Thanks for the great education on US government, I feel much more prepared for the AP Gov exam now.
Thanks again for finishing yet another stunning series!
Excellent. It was great to find a new series that is easy to understand!!
Great last video Craig, thanks for everything.
That ending was awesome.
CO-VID brought me from episodes 1 - 50. Thank you for reminding of everything I forgot from my US Gov course!
Great series. Thanks Craig and CC!
that eagle gag at the end just made my night, im kinda happy to study now
Thank you for this series Craig and crash course
Thank you for giving me the power of understanding.
Hope for the future.
Thank you Craig!! Thank you very much!! Your series was great!! 😔😌 thank you
Ending is perfect
Yay! Such a nice way to end the series.
Thanks Craig for the great series !
Thank you! It was really educational to me! Go Eagle!
Farewell, Craig. Thanks for the videos. I hope to you return for another series, eagle and all.
good job. enjoyed the trip very much.
I literally watched all 50 videos in a row to procrastinate working on a paper. That's what being an American is really all about.
I loved the ending.
Good show crash course. Whenever I talk about foreign policy everyone looks at me like it doesn't matter. My problem/fear is that even when electing officials, we seem to only be focusing on "how they effect us" instead of the rest of the world. War is a far bigger problem than tax policy, allies/enemies are more important than building statues, and so on... Simple fact is that America has the rest of its existence to debate taxes, minimum wage, economic divide and such, but foreign policy changes daily and the effects can be lasting. We change tax policy and domestic law every year, while there are countries who've threatened and hated us for +50 years. Nice work crash course & Craig.
I have the AP test on may 6th and it took me four days to listen to this entire series. Now onto the practice tests :)))
I literally passed Government in college with a B because of these videos. Thank you so much!
That eagle finally got you! Enjoyed the series. Very Helpful.
I'm ready for a part II, thanks for everything Crash Course
we need crash course politics of the world, where you tour how politics works elsewhere but not in depth like in this series, more like one government per episode
Braving the comments to talk about the fact THE EAGLE PUNCHED BACK!!!!!
I loved the ending!
The eagle at the end cracked me! Good series i love crash course
This information helped me for my Foreign policy test. Thank you.
Just took the AP Gov exam.
This series was a God-send!
What a great series, Thanks!
I'll miss you Craig you help me out so much with government class and tommorow is my AP test,
Same fam
I'm so sad I finished this CrashCourse! I'll miss you Craig! Thank you!!
Craig should make a governments of the world series
Thanks Craig!
