• If you're from another country, tell us about your country's government and politics and how you believe it differs from this country.
• Tell us who your most admiredpublic figure is and why (contemporary or historical). Also, state who would be your least favoritepublic figure and why (also contemporary or historical). It need not be a political or governmental person but it must be a public figure (but not your grandmother or third-grade teacher).

(For example: the economy, climate change, the environment, women’s rights, racism, gay rights, religious freedom, Mr. Trump's wall along the border, his Muslim travel ban, the Russian hacking of the election, crime, abortion, education policy, immigration policy, the investigations into Mr. Trump, etc.)
