Why should I care about Power, Politics, and Government?

Answer: Because its important for your adult life, so you can vote for president and other things that will be on voting ballads, and make the right descision when things require managining skills.

Explanation:

Unless you mean history wise, then it's important for getting good grades in school and if you have a history ... job? Otherwise it's not very important, unless if you wanna say something like "to learn from others mistakes"

If you don't pay attention the megalomaniacs that are currently in power will look like Kittens compared to the people who will be elected without some sort of awareness by voters.

In other words, if the electorate is not educated in anyway, those elected will have no controls holding them back.
