Social 30-1

I went through a quick review of the 19th century political spectrum and the 20th century political spectrum as well discussing how if you bend the 20th century political spectrum you can see how communism and fascism have some commonalities. As well, I reviewed the political-economic grid because this was the question on the Chapter 1-2 Test that caused the most problems. I also went into the political and economic origins of classical liberalism and made connections to the principles of individualism (principles associated with classical liberalism). I also went through some basic economics, talking about scarcity, economic systems, basic economic questions and basic economic values associated with the various economic systems. I have sent you some notes by e-mail that you need to print off and bring to class tomorrow (make sure you read them!) for homework check marks. You should read Chapter 4 tonight, since we will be dealing with topics associated with this chapter for the remainder of this week and into next week as well.

Social 20-1

You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Test today in class, which took most of the period. You should get the results back next week. Your French Revolution DBA is due this Thursday (February 25th). It would be a good idea to start this sooner, rather than later!
