Social 10
We played a review game of Jeopardy in class today. I hope that you enjoyed it. I have sent it to your e-mail accounts, so please check your e-mail. Please study hard for your Social 10-1 Final Exam, which is on Thursday, from 9-11 a.m. I am at school tomorrow and Wednesday if you want to come and see me, ask questions or go over past unit finals or tests.
Social 20
You wrote a Topic B Practice Final exam in class, and then we went over it briefly. If you want to come in to ask questions or look over past unit finals, I'll be at school, in either R4 or Room 108, on Tuesday and Wednesday. I am not available in the morning of your final exam because I will be administering the Social 10 Final Exam. Study hard!

Yes.
and was the Steam Engine the main force behind the industrial revelution in Great Britain??
and was the Steam Engine the main force behind the industrial revelution in Great Britain??
-------------------------------
If you look at industrialization in Great Britain, you should note that the they had certain resources and geographical advantages over their rivals in continental Europe. The development of steam power was significant but the real "trigger industry" (the one industry that got the Industrial Revolution rolling) was the textile industry. Lots of inventions and innovations were geared towards improving production in this industry.
hi mr.gilchris i'm not in your class but i was wondering for the social 30 topic essays tomorrow if you had an idea of what the question might be of?

-----------------------
Sorry, no I don't know. There will be one for Topic A and one for Topic B. If you want to know what some of the past essay topics have been check out this website for Topic A (copy and paste this address, it's probably best to maximize this comment box so you get the entire URL address): http://members.shaw.ca/tzeglen/SS30TopicAessaytopics.htm
and this website for Topic B (copy and paste this address):
http://members.shaw.ca/tzeglen/SS30TopicBessaytopics.htm
These essay questions date back to January 1984 to June 2004, so there's lots to look at. However, you can get an idea of what sorts of questions get asked. I hope that I was helpful.
Hey Mr.Gilchrist
I was just wondering what the Lycee system is?
Hey Mr.Gilchrist

Those are high schools in Napoleon's France.
Mr.Gilchrist, what did Rousseau's quote "man is born free and is everywhere in chains" essencially mean?
essentially*
Mr.Gilchrist, what did Rousseau's quote "man is born free and is everywhere in chains" essentially mean?
------------------------
At its most basic, the quote means that people should have more freedom but were restricted in their personal freedom by the Old Regime. Does that help?
by being "restricted in their personal freedom by the old regime," do you mean that people should be allowed a little bit more freedom than before?
mr. gilchrist, what exactly were the results of the french revolution? and when u say political spectrum (during the congress of vienna) and all those liberal and conservative and reactionary stuff.....should we just know what their ideas were and where they were placed on the political spectrum??? or do we have to be more specific and know something else?
by being "restricted in their personal freedom by the old regime," do you mean that people should be allowed a little bit more freedom than before?
--------------------
Yes.

------------------------
Results of the French Revolution are: French monarchy is eliminated, France becomes a republic (for awhile, and then Napoleon comes to power, but ultimately France is today a republic), unfair tax system is abolished, inequalities within society are diminished, the revolutionary government is able to prevent their overthrow by hostile foreign armies and enemies within France. The French Revolution puts nationalism and liberalism on display, and spreads the revolution to neighboring countries.
Now as far as the political spectrum: you need to know where all of those 19th century political groups would fit on the spectrum. You need to know their key ideas/beliefs, and by doing that you should learn what they would "sound" like. Get it?
Mr. Gilchrist, how do we study for the political cartoons and comprehension part of the final? Social 10.
Mr. Gilchrist, can you send us some practice finals through email like last year? (social 20)
Mr. Gilchrist, how do we study for the political cartoons and comprehension part of the final? Social 10.
------------------------
On the multiple choice final exam we can't test deep understanding of political cartoons, typically you get questions like: "What is the central message of this cartoon?" or "What is the cartoonist's opinion/perspective on this issue?" Here's all that you can really do: when (and if) you see a cartoon on the final, take in all of the details of the cartoon, and ask yourself questions like: "What symbols are being used?", "What techniques are being used?", "Is there any bias in the cartoon?" "What perspective is this cartoon from?", basically a mental checklist of questions should help determine the answer to any potential question that might come up.
Mr. Gilchrist, can you send us some practice finals through email like last year? (social 20)
---------------------
Sorry, no. You did plenty in-class practice finals.In fact, the practice final exam that I counted for marks (the one I gave you on Thursday) is an excellent predicter of how you'll do on the final exam, usually +/- 5%, although there's always exceptions.
Mr. Gilchrist, the quote "when france catches a cold, all of europe sneezes" would basically mean that napoleonic wars affected all of europe or something?
Mr. Gilchrist, the quote "when france catches a cold, all of europe sneezes" would basically mean that napoleonic wars affected all of europe or something?
---------------------
No, that's actually more in reference to the values of the French Revolution (liberty, equality and fraternity) spreading across Europe like an infectious disease. Leaders at the Congress of Vienna wanted to suppress the ideals of the French Revolution, suppress liberalism and nationalism in Europe before too many countries caught "the cold". But once people got the taste of liberalism and nationalism they couldn't be bottled up for long.
for the official languages act should we know the one that applies to all of canada (the one in 1969) or should we know the bill 22 of 1974 for quebec.
or should we know both?
Mr. G
I know you already went over "white man's burden" in class but could you re explain it in simple terms.
mr gilchrist, could you remind me of what the metternich system is?

-------------------------
Okay, the Official Languages Act of 1969, you should know. It applies to all of Canada, and it makes French and English the official languages of the government. I think you're confused in the second part of your question, so let's clear that up: The Charter of the French Language, more commonly referred to as Bill 101, defined French as Quebec's only official language, and it was enacted in 1977. Check your study guide to see if Bill 101 is on it. If it isn't don't stress about it, if it is, what I wrote here would be sufficient knowledge about that concept. Does that help?
Mr. G
I know you already went over "white man's burden" in class but could you re explain it in simple terms.
------------------------------
In a nutshell, what Kipling was talking about in his poem "The White Man's Burden" is the obligation of white Europeans to go out into the world and bring the benefits of their civilization to the rest of the world. It is their duty to educate the people in Africa and Asia (and other parts of the world) to teach them about how to run a country and provide good government. Does this help?
mr gilchrist, could you remind me of what the metternich system is?
------------------------------
Here's what you should know: Metternich was Austria's representative at the Congress of Vienna. The Congress of Vienna wanted to "turn back the clocks" to a time before the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era. They wanted to restore France to her original size and territorial possessions, they wanted to restore the legitimate monarchs of Europe (hence the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in France with Louis XVIII), and to ignore the ideas of liberalism and nationalism. The tone of the Congress of Vienna was very much reactionary in nature. Metternich was the driving force behind the Congress of Vienna, so he too was a reactionary. The Metternich system included legitimacy (see above) and the creation of a "balance of power" in Europe, so that no one power could threaten their neighbors again (France namely), so you see the Congress of Vienna create strong buffer states around France to keep them from threatening/dominating the continent again. I hope this helps.
If we know everything you mentioned in the study guide, is that enough? Or do we need to go over stuff that you did not mention in it?

---------------------------
If you're in Social 10, and you know that study guide really well, you should do well on the final (and at the very least, if there are questions that you're not 100% sure about, you should be able to eliminate possibilities and get the right answer). As I said in class, I made that study guide up by looking at a draft of the final exam, so it's pretty useful.
mr. g, in the study guide for social 20, we were told to study about karl marx. does that mean we'll have to know what "dialectical materialism" means? and also, do we get map questions in the finals? (do we have to know the maps well?)thanx..
hey mr. gilchrist, what do we have to know about rudyard kipling? and could you please answer this question for me? "the agricultural revolution was a _____ cause of the industrial revolution"? and, do we have to know about the wars in WW1 in detail? sorry, i have a lot of questions. thanks.

-------------------------------
For Karl Marx, you should know some key facts about him, but especially about his beliefs/philosophy and how a supporter of Marx might "sound". As far as your second question, I can't answer questions about whether something will or will not be on the test.
hey mr. gilchrist, what do we have to know about rudyard kipling? and could you please answer this question for me? "the agricultural revolution was a _____ cause of the industrial revolution"? and, do we have to know about the wars in WW1 in detail? sorry, i have a lot of questions. thanks.
-----------------------------
Scroll up, I answered a question about Kipling already ("The White Man's Burden") and that would be helpful to read over. It was necessary for the Agriculutral Revolution to precede the Industrial Revolution because more efficient farming techniques were needed to feed the increasingly large urban population. As far as your question about WWI: yes, you do have to know about the war in some level of detail. Please double check your list of key concepts and the blueprint to predict what some questions might ask you about WWI.
mr. g, what do you mean when u say "haves and have nots" in the study guide?
social 20 (topic b)
mr.g, will u be teaching social 30 next year??
mr. g, what do you mean when u say "haves and have nots" in the study guide?
------------------------
This is in Social 20 Topic B; it refers to countries of the world that are industrialized, and have developed economies, usually in the northern hemisphere (Canada, the USA and most of Europe) would be considered "haves" because they have material wealth. "Have nots" are in the developing world.
Mr. G.
Can you explain the differences between capitalism and mercantilism?
mr.g, will u be teaching social 30 next year??
-------------------------------
The way it works in the Social department is that you request to teach certain courses. I'll probably request to teach Social 30 next year, but it may not work out with the department's schedule and the demands of new courses being introduced next year.
Mr. G.
Can you explain the differences between capitalism and mercantilism?
-------------------------------
Both are economic systems. Capitalism puts the emphasis on individual economic freedom, competition in the marketplace, consumer sovereignty, the profit motive being an incentive. Mercantilism is designed to help governments profit more. In the mercantilist system, colonies are established for the betterment of the mother country. Raw materials are extracted from the colony to the mother country where they are transformed into manufactured goods. These manufactured goods are sold in the domestic market of the mother country, and in neighboring countries' markets, and maybe even back to the colonies themselves. There is an inbalance in the way that trade takes place between the colony and the colonizer, the rules are set by the mother country to benefit the mother country. Taxes might even been imposed on the colonies or rival colonial industries suppressed to protect production in the mother country. Adam Smith was an opponent of mercantilism. Does this help?
Yes it does, Thank-you very much.
hey Mr. Gilchrist
I was just wondering what IMF stands for any what we need to know about it for the test?
mr g, could you tell me what economic interdependence, humanitrianism and net population increase are, and what we have to know about those for the finals? thanks
mr.G. what do we have to know about the political spectrum, and what would be an example or definition of a reactionary group?
thanks
what is the difference between cultural contact and acculturation ?
is acculturation the changes that come from cultural contact?
hey Mr. Gilchrist
I was just wondering what IMF stands for any what we need to know about it for the test?
-------------------------
International Monetary Fund. You should know its main purpose and some facts about it. You should be studying that presentation with the Venn diagram with the IMF and World Bank in it.
mr g, could you tell me what economic interdependence, humanitrianism and net population increase are, and what we have to know about those for the finals? thanks
----------------------------
Economic interdependence means that economies in the world today are interconnected/dependent on each other because of the increase in global trade. Humanitarianism is in your textbook or a dictionary, look it up. Net population increase is also in your book, it means how much the population will increase.
mr.G. what do we have to know about the political spectrum, and what would be an example or definition of a reactionary group?
thanks
----------------------------
I gave you notes on this, so look for them.
what is the difference between cultural contact and acculturation ?
is acculturation the changes that come from cultural contact?
-------------------------
Yes.
mr. gilchrist, i was just wondering what we have to know about economic growth, democracy and dictatorship? thanks (social 20)
mr. gilchrist, i was just wondering what we have to know about economic growth, democracy and dictatorship? thanks (social 20)
-----------------------------
You need to know what these words mean. Look up democracy and dictatorship in a dictionary (I don't remember these being key concepts on the study guide by the way). Economic growth is growth in the economy.
Mr G, Do we have to memorize all of the 14 points that were issued by woodrow wilson for the test?
hey mr. gilchrist, what happened during the boer war?
Mr. GIlchrist, what are some political, social, cultural, and humanitarian reasons for imperialism?
thanx mr.g, but those terms "economic growth, democracy and dictatorship" are there on the key terms list. but thanx anyway.
hey mr. gilchrist, for most of the terms on the key concepts list for topic b, do we just have to know what the different terms mean? (social 20). and is "value of manufactured products" kinda related to purchasing power parity, or is it something else?
mr.g, what do we have to know about local resources/initiatives and "one crop" economies?
mr. gilchrist, i dont think the powerpoints covered the fashoda incident or the moroccan crisis or anything of that matter
Mr G, Do we have to memorize all of the 14 points that were issued by woodrow wilson for the test?
-------------------------
No, but think of the big concepts associated with Wilson's 14 Points: self-detrmination, plebiscites, removing the causes of WWI to prevent future wars, and the formation of the League of Nations and collective security.
hey mr. gilchrist, what happened during the boer war?
-----------------------
Basically, The British go to war against the Boers in South Africa after gold and diamonds are discovered in Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Long story short: the British win the Boer War and gain control of all of South Africa.
Mr. GIlchrist, what are some political, social, cultural, and humanitarian reasons for imperialism?
---------------------
If you're asking this question I'm assuming that you're a Social 20 student. I gave you a booklet called "European Imperialism" and it had "Motives for European Imperialism" on the top of it. You need to find this handout, and study it!
hey mr. gilchrist, for most of the terms on the key concepts list for topic b, do we just have to know what the different terms mean? (social 20). and is "value of manufactured products" kinda related to purchasing power parity, or is it something else?
---------------------
Yes.
For the second question, I need a little bit of context to help you out.
mr.g, what do we have to know about local resources/initiatives and "one crop" economies?
-----------------------
"One crop economies"= countries that are dependent on a cash crop.
mr. gilchrist, i dont think the powerpoints covered the fashoda incident or the moroccan crisis or anything of that matter
-----------------
Fashoda Incident: no.
Moroccan Crisis: absolutely yes! It's in the causes of WWI PowerPoint.
Mr g, for China and Japan imperialism, what important facts do we have to know?
well on the key concepts list, it just said "value of maufactured products"...
Mr g, for China and Japan imperialism, what important facts do we have to know?
----------------------
I don't remember these being on the key concept list, but here's what I would look at: briefly, the Opium Wars gives England Hong Kong; the "open door" policy in China allowed European countries to establish "spheres of influence" in China; extraterritoriality in China, in other words, if foreigners were caught committing a crime, they were tried according to the rules of the home country, not China's laws. That should do.
hey mr gilchrist, what happened during the berlin conference?
well on the key concepts list, it just said "value of maufactured products"...
----------------------
Hmm, I had a look at it. Seems kind of random. Could mean a few things: maunfactured products are taking raw materials and making something out them, thus adding "value" to them. I wouldn't stress out about it too much.
hey mr gilchrist, what happened during the berlin conference?
------------------------
Could you tell me if you're in Social 10 or Social 20 please.

hey mr gilchrist, what happened during the berlin conference?
------------------------
Could you tell me if you're in Social 10 or Social 20 please.
---------------------
There are two Berlin Conferences, but chances are you're wondering about the one in the 1880s. It was called to divide up the African continent in response to Leopold II's actions in the Belgian Congo (he claimed the whole area as his personal property). Other major European powers didn't call the Berlin Conference to condemn Leopold's actions, they wanted to get into the action. At the conference they carved up the continent. This leads to the "Scramble for Africa".
Mr. Gilchrist, in the textbook, it says that the unnited nations was created after the second world war..did it come out of the Bretton Woods Agreement?
just out of curiosity...what was the other berlin conference??
just out of curiosity...what was the other berlin conference??
----------------------
Don't worry about it, I don't want to confuse you.
Mr. Gilchrist, in the textbook, it says that the unnited nations was created after the second world war..did it come out of the Bretton Woods Agreement?
-------------------------
The delegates at the Bretton Woods Conference met in 1944 in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire (in the USA). It set up the international monetary system based on fixed exchange rates, the gold standard, and created the "Bretton Woods Trio": the IMF, the World Bank, and GATT. The United Nations was created in April 1945 in San Francisco (WWII wasn't over yet completely, Japan hadn't surrendered yet; throughout the war they had been discussing forming the United Nations). The IMF, World Bank and GATT became part of the United Nations. Although the IMF and the World Bank are basically run by its member countries now and GATT is no more, the WTO is not part of the UN.
I don't understand the difference between accommodation and integration. The definitions are (at least, to me) exactly the same, worded differently.
I don't understand the difference between accommodation and integration. The definitions are (at least, to me) exactly the same, worded differently.
--------------------
Accomodation is accomodating cultural differences (RCMP changing uniforms), integration is integrating into mainstream society.
hey mr. gilchrist, do we have to know the battles for wwI? like battle of verdun, somme, jutland. etc?
What is the difference between socialism and communism?
I'm not too sure what historical globalization is?
"Accomodation is accomodating cultural differences (RCMP changing uniforms),"
Isn't that acculturation?
Hey Mr.Gilchrist
i have not been able to find a presentation that contains the IMF and world bank in it
Mr. Gilchrist, during WW1, wasn't Russia not in existance yet? wasn't it suppose to be soviet union? -cuz all your powerpoints says russia
just wondering
Mr. Gilchrist, what is the motive behind new imperialism? Is it the time when the Europeans believed they had the duty to carry the white man's burden?
hey mr.gilchrist, what's sustainable development?
hey mr. gilchrist, do we have to know the battles for wwI? like battle of verdun, somme, jutland. etc?
------------------------
If it's not on the list of key concepts it's not on the test.
What is the difference between socialism and communism?
--------------------
A key difference is that socialism can exist in a democratic society, in 33 and 33 you'll learn about examples of democratic socialism (like Sweden). Communism can't exist in a democracy. It calls for state ownership and control of the means of production and state planning of production.
I'm not too sure what historical globalization is?
--------------------
It's a period of time, from 1492 to 1989.
"Accomodation is accomodating cultural differences (RCMP changing uniforms),"
Isn't that acculturation?
--------------------
Nope, it's accomodation.
Hey Mr.Gilchrist
i have not been able to find a presentation that contains the IMF and world bank in it
----------------------
"Foundations of Economic Globalization".
Mr. Gilchrist, during WW1, wasn't Russia not in existance yet? wasn't it suppose to be soviet union? -cuz all your powerpoints says russia
just wondering
--------------------
During WWI it was called Russia. There's the Russian Revolution (or Bolshevik Revolution) which overthrows Kerensky's provisional government. This Bolshevik Revolution was led by the Bolsheviks (who were led by Lenin), they fight a Civil War (Bolsheviks were the Reds, they fight the Mensheviks[the Whites], and win). Then they establish the USSR.
Mr. Gilchrist, what is the motive behind new imperialism? Is it the time when the Europeans believed they had the duty to carry the white man's burden?
--------------------
"New" imperialism meant that European powers were looking for new markets for their goods and a source of raw materials, which fuels the need for overseas colonies. "New" imperialism is tied to the Industrial Revolution, the need for new markets and resources.
hey mr.gilchrist, what's sustainable development?
-------------------
Sustainable development is development that does not sacrifice future generations' ability to provide for themselves for the current generation. It calls for repsonsible usage of resources, so there's something left over for future generations; it's tied to environmentalism, and using renewable energy sources. Does this help?
Well, I'm done for the evening. I won't be answering any more questions tonight. See you tomorrow.
Thanks Mr. g for a great year!
And as for the social 10 final... it was very hard
