We watched a video called "Inside North Korea" to look at one of the legacies of the Cold War. The Korean peninsula is still divided to this day, and it's important to see how Kim Jong-Il maintains power in North Korea. Hopefully you could see the techniques of dictatorship at work in the video. Please make sure that you study for the Cold War Exam (Chapter 7), please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it). You also have your Unit 2 Final Exam coming up as well, here's the study guide here (scroll down to find it). Tomorrow, we'll be starting a film study on "Good Night and Good Luck". We will be looking at McCarthyism in the United States in the 1950s (so we're backtracking a bit). To fully understand what we're doing in class on Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be beneficial to re-read the section in Perspectives on Ideology on McCarthyism and to read up on Edward R. Murrow as well.
