I really enjoyed reading this week's Pew Research article.
The quiz can be taken here, http://www.people-press.org/2007/04/15/public-knowledge-of-current-affairs-little-changed-by-news-and-information-revolutions/
Even though I scored 11/13 correct I still did not feel well equipped about what I was doing. I think what this quiz did for me was show me how little I know about what is going on even though I try to stay updated with events. I think that with working full-time, school, being married and etc I struggle with staying up-to-date with current events because I feel like I have no time to stay current. Granted, I have not been taking advantage of social media in the way I should. I need to be signing up for emails and making sure to check major news outlets every day but this class has been challenging me in that area and I am getting better at it. My husband is amazing at making sure to do this every day, and i'm going to keep working at getting to the point when I am able to spend time every day researching current world affairs.
