Signature Program: Lifelong Learning

Governments tax citizens, industry and foreign nations for two reasons: to increase income and to assert control. We will examine the history of taxation, theories behind various tax strategies and the impact and consequences of each. We will attempt a look into the future the role taxes may play in America’s long-term solvency.

The traditional “public school” concept is in a dire state in America.  A declining child population, declining proficiency test score, inflammatory political agendas, expanding costs, and high teacher turnover are just a few of the challenges faced by traditional school districts across the country.

It wasn’t until the 20th century that the world began to fully understand how diseases and infections originated and could be controlled. We will explore the evolution of medicine, the structure and function of the medical industry today and the future effects of such influences as artificial intelligence.
