September 21


I gave you back your comment sheets for your Unit 1 In-Class Position Paper today. I gave you some general comments for improving your essay writing. If you have more specific issues or questions, please see me during tutorial (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in Room 111 from 8:15-8:45). You will get your actual essays back at the end of the semester.
I also went through a PowerPoint presentation today called "Responding to Classical Liberalism and Industrialization", which covered the emergence of several ideologies in reaction to classical liberalism and the economic inequalities brought on by industrialization. I touched upon classical liberalism again, classical conservatism, socialism, communism, and I threw in social Darwinism as well. I have already sent this PowerPoint to you, along with the retrieval chart that went with it. Please print off the PowerPoint presentation (4-6 slides per page) for homework check marks tomorrow. I have also sent you the Laws of Supply and Demand notes that I forgot to send out on Friday, and summary notes on Private Enterprise from the textbook Ideologies (which some students/classes are also using in addition to Perspectives on Ideology). I have summary notes for most of the Ideologies textbook, so from time-to-time I will be sending these notes to you.


I did a homework check on your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions at the beginning of class today. I went through a PowerPoint presentation that covered material from Chapter 4 and 5, looking at the "Challenges and Opportunities of Globalization", as I went through this presentation, you were to take notes on a concept web that I gave you. Your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow. Please remember that your Chapter 3-4 Quiz is on Friday, September 25th, please see the study guide here.
