Social 30-1

I started a PowerPoint presentation today called "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism", in which I emphasized the radical and reactionary ideologies that rejected liberalism in the 20th century: communism and fascism. I will be focusing on communism for the next few days, and the economic systems that was was associated with the former USSR. I gave you some handouts as well today that covered the command economy. I have sent you today's handouts to your e-mail accounts as well. I did a homework check on your Chapter 5 Key Terms today as well. Please remember that you should be studying for your Market Economy and Mixed Economy Exam, which is on Thursday. It's 70 multiple choice questions, and it's difficult! That's why I haven't assigned any homework tonight, my expectation is that you are reviewing for this exam. Please see the study guide here.

We finished watching "Tools of Exploitation" today, and we also finished the "Legacies of Historical Globalization" PowerPoint presentation. I will send this presentation to you by e-mail this afternoon. We also drew lots and picked countries for our Imperialism Research Project. We will be in the library tomorrow, so please go directly there instead of coming to the classroom. You will only get one class period for research, you will have to work on the project outside of class time.
