Social 20
For our last class period together we conducted a Q&A session, where you could ask any questions you had about the course material. Please check your e-mail, I will be sending you a course evaluation survey that I would like you to take some time fill out (it's anonymous, don't worry). Study hard, and good luck on your final exam. If you have any questions/comments, please feel free to post them here, in your discussion forum, and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible.

the ppt narrations on breeze isnt' working..
is breeze down????
AHHHHH
yeah it's not working for me either...
help!!!
the ppt narrations on breeze isnt' working..
is breeze down????
AHHHHH
---------------------
It must still be down. Sorry, there's absolutely nothing that I can do about this. The server is a University server dedicated to Breeze, but it must be down for maintenance, or maybe it's experiencing heavy traffic. You could open up the SlidShare link that I have on Monday's post. It doesn't have narration, but if you're missing a PowerPoint, it will be there.
do we need to know about all the battles that Napoleon fought in?? social 20-3
do we need to know about all the battles that Napoleon fought in?? social 20-3
--------------------
Just the "big ones": the Battle of Trafalgar, the Russian campaign, the Battle of Leipzig, and the Battle of Waterloo.
i was just wondering if as long as we study exactly whats on that sheet then well be ok? or is that just like a generalization of whats on the test..or is that pretty much everything we must know..
wat are NGO's ..its under Top B key concepts
thanks
Hi Mr. G. It's VK. Yes, I still come here. Interesting thing you've got going on with slideshare.
i was just wondering if as long as we study exactly whats on that sheet then well be ok? or is that just like a generalization of whats on the test..or is that pretty much everything we must know..
--------------------------
That is pretty much what you need to know. Use the blueprint in conjuction with the key terms list to get a real sense of what you need to know. You could probably predict what kind of questions you will get by using those two things together.
wat are NGO's ..its under Top B key concepts
-----------------
NGOs are non-governmental organizations. They are not funded by government at all, and they work independently of them. A classic example that you should be familiar with from last year is Amnesty International which works in the human rights/political prisoners field.

Hi VK. It's good that I loaded them up there, it looks like the UofC Breeze server has been taking a beating with all of my students (and possibly otheres) trying to access those lectures.
I was studying with someone from another social studies class, and they said that there teacher said there exam only had 100 questions, because he was omitting the ones that he didnt teach them. So does that mean that all the classes are getting different exams?

All Social 20 students write the same exam.
Is reviewing all your power points, and those important booklets you gave us enough??
what is the splendid isolation?
Is reviewing all your power points, and those important booklets you gave us enough??
----------------------
That would be an excellent place to start. Don't forget to study some of the notes that I wrote on the board (very few) or from the overhead (very few). I would avoid at all cost going back into A Century of Change and re-reading the textbook. Those PowerPoints are designed to be summaries of the information you need to know, and they are pretty thorough.
what is the splendid isolation?
---------------------------
Splendid isolation refers to the way in which Great Britain conducted its affairs in the lead-up to WWI. Great Britain is not part of the European continental land mass, and they tried to avoid getting involved in "continental affairs", preferring to isolate themselves. Does this help?
ooh, that's what it is,
thx so much
Breeze isn't working right now..
it's been on and off

as from your point of view, what is the key to doing well on a social studies test? cause everytime I do it, even if I really believe that I did good, whenever I get the marks back, I'm really disapointed and sometimes pissed. *sigh*

I think that I gave you some great resources this year. I would start with the PowerPoint presentations, know them cold. Use the blueprint that I gave you and the list of key concepts to predict what type of questions will be on the final. Find some of the other items that I referred you to when I went over the blueprint in class, for example "The Motives for Imperialism", or the French Revolution timeline or Napoleon timeline. If you haven't had me before for Social there's one thing that you should know: I always do things for a reason. I cover absolutley everything that appears on the Social 20 final. If you know your stuff, you should do really well on the final. Some of the questions may look familiar to you because I may have used them on one of my unit finals, or even from the practice final. I'm in my classroom today and tomorrow if you want to look over old tests or anything like that.
who were the huguenots? what is significant about them? and what do we really need to know or understand for the test about the first powerpoint and the topics of the renessance and the enlightenment?
do we need to know about the edict of nantes?
what do we need to know about jaques necker and the signifiance of him? or do we not really need to know him?
who were the huguenots? what is significant about them? and what do we really need to know or understand for the test about the first powerpoint and the topics of the renessance and the enlightenment?
---------------------------
The Huguenots were the French Protestants that left France due to the Edict of Nantes being revoked. Don't stress out about this! Please check the key concept list that I sent to you. If you look at it for Enlightenment thinkers, you will see that only Voltaire and Rousseau are on that list, so you should review them. If you use that list of key concepts and the blueprint, you should be able to predict questions that will be on the test. The key terms list is ALL of the key terms that appear on the Final Exam, there won't be any surprises.
do we need to know about the edict of nantes?
what do we need to know about jaques necker and the signifiance of him? or do we not really need to know him?
------------------------------
Please see my previous comment. If those key terms don't appear on the list, don't worry about them. Study the big concepts/ideas. Know that France was in a financial crisis, and how they got into that situation would be more important than studying little details about Necker.
what do we need to know about the declearation of the rights of man? can you explain...please!
the paris milita/national guard..was the the national military of France?
what do we need to know about the declearation of the rights of man? can you explain...please!
-------------------
You should know the following about the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen:
what it is, what is the significance of this document, when does this document come into existence (think chronology of key events in the French Revolution).
the paris milita/national guard..was the the national military of France?
---------------------
Don't get too hung up on this, after all it doesn't appear on the key concept list.

Yes, I noticed it was different from last year. It seems more user friendly, but that's just my opinion.
um, if battles don't appear on the key concepts list, for example the Battle of Trafalgar... do we not need to know it?
quick question... in the power point on The Congress of Vienna, it says that it worked because there were no more major battles in Europe for 40 years... but what about the Battle of Waterloo??
um, if battles don't appear on the key concepts list, for example the Battle of Trafalgar... do we not need to know it?
----------------
I posted a comment on this earlier. Don't spend tons of time on this, just do a quick refresh of your memory on the Battle of Trafalgar, the Russian campaign, the Battle of Leipzig, and the Battle of Waterloo.
quick question... in the power point on The Congress of Vienna, it says that it worked because there were no more major battles in Europe for 40 years... but what about the Battle of Waterloo??
-----------------------
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on June 18, 1815. The Congress of Vienna's discussions continued despite the fact that Napoleon had escaped exile on Elba. The Congress lasted from September 1814 until 1815. The Congress's final act was signed nine days before Napoleon's defeat. But that's being technical.
ok, thanks!
what is "rotten borough"?
there's nothing on the key concepts about bismarck... but his foreign policy, congress on berlin and stuff like that seem really important... is it a waste of time to study them?
Hi Mr. Gilchrist, it's CT dropping by. Interesting way of getting the powerpoints to the students. I wish we could have had it like this.
During the Industrial Revolution, what was the difference between the middle class and the factory workers... did the middle work in the factories? because I thought that the peasants were the people who dug through the garbage or lived in work homes and stuff not in the factories... *is confused*
what is "rotten borough"?
------------------
Where did you read/see this?
there's nothing on the key concepts about bismarck... but his foreign policy, congress on berlin and stuff like that seem really important... is it a waste of time to study them?
-------------------------
Ah, but look at what is in the key concept list: the unification of Germany. What part does Bismarck play in this?
what is universal suffrage again?
what is universal suffrage again?
---------------------
Everyone has the right to vote.
is that all it means, cause the dictionary said that it was something like everyone over 18 or 21 who must obey law... or something.
is that all it means, cause the dictionary said that it was something like everyone over 18 or 21 who must obey law... or something.
------------------------------
No, I stand by my definition. In fact, if you ever see someone wanting you to sign a petition "to end women's suffrage" don't sign it! It means they want to take the right to vote away from women! (Sorry, early morning humor)
ha, ok thanks mr.g
mr g.
whats vote by head and vote by bloc again?
:S
wat is the difference between radical and reactionary again? im always getting them confused!
mr g.
whats vote by head and vote by bloc again?
---------------------------
When the Estates General was called back into session by Louis XVI, there was a voting controversy. The First Estate and Second Estate (for the most part) wanted "vote by bloc", in other words, each estate would cast one vote and the Third Estate would always be outvoted 2 to 1. The Third Estate favored "vote by head", in other words, every delegate at the Estates General would get a vote and this would make it easier for the Third Estate (who represented the majority of people of France) to gain control of the Estates General, they only needed a few clergymen and nobles to side with them to get their ideas passed.
What exactly do we need to know about the radical and reactionary for the final? Thank You.
wat is the difference between radical and reactionary again? im always getting them confused!
---------------------------
These two groups are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum, both representing the extremes of the spectrum. I'm going to explain this in 18th-19th century political spectrum terms. Radicals would be in favor of overthrowing the government, and during the time of the French Revolution they did just that, and replaced it with a more democratic form of government. Reactionary is on the far right wing of the spectrum (radicals are far left at this time), they represent the exact opposite of the French Revolution radicals because they are supporters of absolute monarchies, and the divine right of kings. At the Congress of Vienna (which was a reaction to the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era), they re-installed legitimate monarchs, who once ruled Europe as if the French Revolution had never taken place. Does this help?
What exactly do we need to know about the radical and reactionary for the final? Thank You.
-----------------------------
Know where they are on the political spectrum, know what they represent, and what their political ideas would "sound" like (think speaker-type question).
how does imperialism cause WW1?
how does imperialism cause WW1?
------------------------------
The competition for colonies leads the major European powers into near conflict on several occasions. Also, the competition for overseas colonies fuels nationalism and increased militarism which also contributes to the outbreak of the Great War. If you can visualize all of those contributing factors to the outbreak of the war as kindling to start a fire (alliance system, nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and all of those contributing events) the one thing that was necessary for the war to start was a spark: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
who was rudyard kipling? and Jeremy Bentham?
There were two political philosophies that were similar, but not identical. One was that they'd overthrow the government with bloodshed and the other would want to overthrow the government without killing (or it was something similar to this). I don't know if this is important, but I remember talking about something like this in class.
Thanks.
what was robert owen again? in the powerpoint it said early utopian socialist, but then it also said that he built this industrial community....
who was rudyard kipling? and Jeremy Bentham?
------------------------
Kipling was a poet and writer. He is probably best known for a poem called "White Man's Burden" which basically called for white people to go out and "civilize" the rest of the world.
Bentham was a philosopher, and a liberal (more specifically a Utilitarian). Utilitarians would rate each action by how much good it did for the greatest number. Bentham argued that the best thing government could do was leave the people alone; he argued for a much simpler government, one with few responsibilities and little power. Does this help?
robert owen, wasn't he the utopian socialist, thought about the perfect community, high worker wages, high profits, democracy, with gov't and some non gov't intervention.

----------------------------
I think you're thinking of the main difference between socialism and communism. Communism calls for the overthrow of the government by violent means if necessary, whereas socialism maintains that you can achieve change through democratic means. Socialism can exist in a democracy, communism can't. Is this what you were thinking of?
yeah that helps with rudyard kipling and Jeremy Bentham
was bentham that important or should we be more focused on people like J.S. Mill and Adam Smith, Karl Marx etc.?
what was robert owen again? in the powerpoint it said early utopian socialist, but then it also said that he built this industrial community....
-----------------------------
Yes, Robert Owen was a utopian socialist, he's a classic example, so remember that name! He built an industrial community in New Lanark, Scotland, he was trying to build his own little utopia (this is on page 102-103 of your text by the way). Charles Fourier would be another good example of autopian socialist, in case you're trying to think of the other one that I talked about in class.
robert owen, wasn't he the utopian socialist, thought about the perfect community, high worker wages, high profits, democracy, with gov't and some non gov't intervention.
---------------------
Yes!

You need to know them all. I'm not going to tell you to study one more than the other.
ok thanks.
Why does Italy swicth sides in WW1?
wasn't j.s. mill an utopian socialist, like bentham?
was collective security like what woodrow wilson proposed?
Why does Italy swicth sides in WW1?
-------------------------------
Mostly, Italy sees that they have more to gain in switching sides. When they switch to the Allies side they stand to gain more from the Central Powers, specifically territory (you see this in the post WWI treaties, Italy gets some territory from Austria-Hungary).
wasn't j.s. mill an utopian socialist, like bentham?
-------------------------
There's a lot of confusion in this sentence. Mill was a liberal. Bentham was a Utilitarian(a type of liberal if you will) not a Utopian socialist.
was collective security like what woodrow wilson proposed?
-----------------------------
Yes. Collective security was proposed by Wilson in his Fourteen Points, and fulfilled with the League of Nations (well, sort of, it lacked teeth).
please define authoritariamism?if that is even a word.it is used as a word to describe conservatives and reactionaries on are reovolationary political spectrum
Yeah, that's it (communism and socialism). Thanks.
I am having trouble understanding the following concepts:
Egalitarianism
Social Darwinism
Capitalism >> (i think capitalism is the idea of Private Ownership ie. THe USA, so is communism the extreme opposite?)
what were the zeppliens?
please define authoritariamism?if that is even a word.it is used as a word to describe conservatives and reactionaries on are reovolationary political spectrum
---------------------------------
Authoritarianism means "of or pertaining to a governmental or political system, principle, or practice in which individual freedom is held as completely subordinate to the power or authority of the state, centered either in one person or a small group that is not constitutionally accountable to the people"(this is copied and pasted directly from dictionary.com by the way). In other words, people do not enjoy certain personal freedoms, and power is concentrated in one person (a king- absolute monarchy; or even a dictator) or a small group (a ruling elite, an oligarchy). This is applicable to reactionaries because they are in favor of absolute monarchies (19th century political spectrum), and 19th century conservatives might favor ruling elites. Does this help?
what were the zeppliens?
-------------------------
Zeppelins were lighter-than-air ships. You see them all the time nowadays, although we tend to call them blimps.
yes taht did help thank you.i now understand what Authoritarianism means.
I am having trouble understanding the following concepts:
Egalitarianism
Social Darwinism
Capitalism >> (i think capitalism is the idea of Private Ownership ie. THe USA, so is communism the extreme opposite?)
---------------------------
Egalitarianism: the belief that people are of equal worth and should be equal before the law. During the French Revolution there were three values: liberty, equlaity, and fraternity. The French forms of these words: Liberté, égalité, fraternité are helpful, especially when you see that égalité means equality (the root word for egalitarianism).
-----------------------------
Capitalism >> (i think capitalism is the idea of Private Ownership ie. THe USA, so is communism the extreme opposite?)
Yes, that's right!
-----------------------
Social Darwinism is the application of Darwin's theory of natural selection to human society. In other words "natural selection" when applied to human society would mean that the "fittest" would adapt to survive in modern industrialized society, and those that couldn't survive would be left by wayside and be taken out of the gene pool (they wouldn't reproduce), and society would be for the better without these weak links.
I'm going home. I'm going to be taking a break for a bit. Keep posting questions. I'll answer them tonight.
when was the treaty of versailles, after the war (WWI)? i'm a bit confused. can you explain..
i wuz just wondering, what are the answers to tommorows test? That would be excellent if you could post them, thanks n_n
A french Philosophe named by the name of Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire once said "i may not agree with a word you say, but i defend to the death your right to say it' defending his position on freedom of speach. It was quite clever of you to simply delete my question about the test answers off your blog, but maybe next time you should follow the practises of Mr. Voltaire. Thank you n_n
-----------------------
This one was so strange that I had to respond to it. I have no idea what you're talking about. I did delete the second Social 10 Practice Final Key, but that's because there was a mistake in it, which was kindly corrected by a student. I generally don't delete comments willy-nilly. Due to the fact that you're quoting/paraphrasing Voltaire I have to assume that you're a Social 20 student, that made a mistake and posted in the Social 10 Discussion Forum by mistake.
4:35 PM
I'm assuming that this comment belongs in the Social 20 Discussion Forum. Would someone like to apologize?
i wuz just wondering, what are the answers to tommorows test? That would be excellent if you could post them, thanks n_n
-----------------------
Don't have them with me. Sorry. I guess you're just going to have to keep studying.
i'm having some trouble with these concepts:
sustainable development
ecological balance
those are from topic b. thanx!
"...willy-nilly." Please, explain your terms.
when was the treaty of versailles, after the war (WWI)? i'm a bit confused. can you explain..
-------------------
Absolutely I can explain. The fighting in WWI ends with the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918 (hence Remembrance Day). The Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that Germany signed with the Allies. All of the defeated Central Powers nations signed different peace treaties at the war's conclusion, the Treaty of Versailles is the most famous one though. The Treaty of Versailles included the "war guilt clause" and the covenant that created the League of Nations. Does this help?
"...willy-nilly." Please, explain your terms.
-------------------
Haphazardly. Without care or attention. It's a real term.
yes thank you soo much that help a lot with understanding the treaty of versailles. =)
students from Mr. Gage's Social 20 class say that mr. Gage is pulling some questions from there test because Mr. gage did not cover the Course thoroughly. I do not think this is fair and would like your opinion on it.
i'm having some trouble with these concepts:
sustainable development
ecological balance
those are from topic b. thanx!
------------------
There's a presentation on sustainable development that you might want to review, it includes a definition of sustainable development/sustainability:basically, it means to have development that it sustainable (renewable energy sources) and will allow future generations to continue to develop without having to deal with the mess that we've created. Ecological balance is basically taking into consideration the fragile balance that exists in nature, and to not destroy or interfere with that balance. For example, let's say you have a problem with too many wolves. Is the solution to kill as many wolves off as you can? Possibly, but what effect will that have on the food chain, for example? If there are fewer wolves, what will happen to the populations of animals that wolves feed on? What impact will that have on the biome? To be honest, worry more about sustainability/sustainable development concept more for the test.
students from Mr. Gage's Social 20 class say that mr. Gage is pulling some questions from there test because Mr. gage did not cover the Course thoroughly. I do not think this is fair and would like your opinion on it.
---------------------
Curious. Please only worry about yourself and your preparedness for this exam. I did cover ALL of the course material. If you study what I gave you, and use all of the tips that I've given you, both Social 20-3 and 20-4 will do extremely well. You can't worry about "the other guy", just worry about yourself. At the end of the day, 20-3 and 20-4 will probably have the highest class averages on the final in the school. Trust me. Remember when I said at the beginning of the year that you just had to trust me and believe, trust me: you study what I've given you and you will walk into the final as the most prepared students there.
how many questions is the final exam?
Hey Mr. G, i reviewed the course about 3 times now and am just too nervous now, any advice for tomorrow?
is socialism communism?
how many questions is the final exam?
----------------
There are 110 questions on the Social 20 final, 55 from Topic A and 55 from Topic B. This is on your blueprint.
Hey Mr. G, i reviewed the course about 3 times now and am just too nervous now, any advice for tomorrow?
--------------------
I had a teacher once that recommended going to the movies the night before an exam, because by that point you should know the material already and you need to relax. Or possible laugh. Take a break, watch a funny show, take you rmind off of it for a bit, come back to it if you have to.
is socialism communism?
-----------------
Good question. Marx's "scientific socialism"=communism. Socialism can also be democratic, and communism can't (see previous comments on this topic). They are similar, according to Marx socialism would be a stepping stone towards communism.
Who wrote the final exam?

Whats the main diff between Utopian Socialism and communism?
Whats the main diff between Utopian Socialism and communism?
----------------------
There's lots of differences. Utopian socialism thinks that utopia (a perfect place) is possible here on earth. Communism is far less optimistic. Once again, utopian socialism can exist in a democratic society, communism can't.
what was the lycee system?
What's P.E.R.M.s?
Hey, Mr. G, what should we know about commodities with respect to Topic B?
what was the lycee system?
------------------
I've answered this one already, it's a little bit further up in the comments. Basically, it's the high school system that Napoleon introduced.
Wiil you be in your room tomorrow before the exam?
Hey, Mr. G, what should we know about commodities with respect to Topic B?
-----------------
Just general, common sense stuff. You need to know what a commodity is first and foremost.
what are plebiscites again?
do we need to know about the inventors and their inventions??, or just mainly the "isms" for idustrial revolution
What's P.E.R.M.s?
---------------------
I need some context here.
Wiil you be in your room tomorrow before the exam?
-------------------
Not for long I need to get things setup for the Social 10 students, they write at 9 am.
what are plebiscites again?
----------------
Referendums. After WWI, some areas voted to see which country they would join together with.
do we need to know about the inventors and their inventions??, or just mainly the "isms" for idustrial revolution
------------------
Look at the list of key concepts. There isn't one inventors name there. Study the ideologies (-isms, what they believed, and examples of each.
Can you explain the schlieffen plan?
on the key concepts list, it says chronology of events in WWI, what events is this talking too?
what's the Theory of Demographic Transition?
so did the treaty of versailles basically end WWI?
Can you explain the schlieffen plan?
--------------------
How did you miss this? I'm practically yelling when I talk about the Schlieffen Plan, plus I get to put on a fakey German accent as well (a la Hogan's Heroes). Anyway, this was Germany's war plan in WWI: attack France with a broad sweeping arc that took German troops through Belgium, and conquer France in six weeks before the Russians could mobilize. von Moltke modifies the plan, and diverts troops to protect German interests in Alsace and Lorraine, and to fight the Russians on the Eastern Front.
on the key concepts list, it says chronology of events in WWI, what events is this talking too?
--------------------
The really important ones. Review the WWI PowerPoints, there is a chronology to those events.
what's the Theory of Demographic Transition?
------------------------
This is in Topic B, it's in your World Prospects book. Re-read pages 40-41. If you still don't understand, comment again.
which pg in world prospects had the stuff about the UNICEF, IMF and stuff? thanx
which pg in world prospects had the stuff about the UNICEF, IMF and stuff? thanx

There's a chart on page 306 (I think) that has the UN organizations.

Those are pretty common thoughts. Just walk in with confidence, don't listen to people trying to cram at the very last second, and you should be fine.
Yo Japanese G, which state was it that help unify Italy? I forget, it was some intense name.
for the ism's is there a spectrum or a big picture that you can illustrate the isms? like would capitalism be on the right like "reactionary grouping" and communism be on the left "radicals"

-----------------------
You've kind of got some economics creeping in there. There is an economic spectrum and a political spectrum, don't confuse them. Give me a few minutes, I might be able to cook something up to illustrate this.
okay
Mr. G, it was ピドモント.?
Ok I read you boss.
Hey, I wrote notes on the board for this. Check your notes, I went over the political spectrum one day in class, and I distinctly remember writing down what each group believed in.
wait, does ピドモント mean piedmont-sardinia?
Do we even have to know this?
wait, does ピドモント mean piedmont-sardinia?
Do we even have to know this?
-------------------
Yes.
Maybe. Check your key concepts list.
like, the radicals (extreme left) liberals (left) that believed in human rights, egalitarism, personal liberty, internationalism and the reactionary (extreme right) the conservatives (right) believe property rights, elitism, authoriantarism, and nationalism??
if so, but like on a economic spectrum where abouts would, socialsm, capitalism, communism fit in??

Maybe I'm just thinking negatively, but I'll give you a disadvantage: if you devote all of your country's resources to growing one crop you're giving up potential farm land that you could be using to grow food to feed your people, instead you're growing a crop that's designated for export.
I'm going to bed.

What about our results, Mr. G? What was the average on the test?
------------------------
That's an interesting question. Throughout the year SS 20-4 was about 5-7% lower than SS 20-3 on all the major unit finals. The final exam was the BIG exception! Both classes had an average of 76% on the final. A very good result. In my own mind, I thought that SS 20-4 would be even higher, possibly even get an 80% class average, but it didn't happen that way. Possibly some lower than usual individual results in 20-4 pulled down the class average, or maybe the final was harder than some of you anticipated, it's hard to say. I will post the results of the final, and your final mark in Social 20 outside my classroom tomorrow. I will not post individual results here on the blog, nor will I send them to you via e-mail, you'll have to come down to R4 to see your results. I don't know how you fared comparatively speaking to other Social 20 classes on the final.
What's the range?
Did anyone failed?
