Civics


Explanation:
Random House: civics n. (used with a sing. v.)
the study or science of the privileges and obligations of citizens

This definition describes EPB classes I attended in highschool, undergrad, and grad... :) Then they changed the name OSPB - Organização Social e Política Brasileira (or something like that).
