February 23


I introduced you to the business cycle (boom and bust cycle) today. This is a concept that we will be building upon later in the course when we look at Keynesian economics and the monetary and fiscal policy responses to the various stages along the business cycle. If you missed class today, please make sure that you get these notes from a friend. We also went through a PowerPoint lecture called "Responding to Classical Liberalism and Industrialization". I have already sent this lecture to your e-mail accounts. Also, when you are checking your e-mail today you'll find that I have sent you notes on classical liberalism, Adam Smith and the market economy. Please print these notes off, read them, highlight and annotate them. I gave you the Chapter 4 Worksheet today. The Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on Wednesday, March 2nd.


You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Test today. I gave you most of the period to do this. Please remember that your Illustrated Concept Map Assignment is due tomorrow. Also, please remember that as part of this assignment you need to write a written description to go along with the concept map. Please use the following guidelines when writing this description. The big theme for Unit 1 is the impact of globalization on identity. Have an introductory paragraph that centers around the increasing interconnections and interdependencies that we are experiencing as a result of globalization. What impact does social globalization have on individual and collective identity? (2nd paragraph) What impact does economic globalization have on individual and collective identity? (3rd paragraph) What impact does political globalization have on individual and collective identity? (4th paragraph) Don't forget to include sub-concepts of these different types of globalization and their impacts on the different types of identity. Don't forget to have a concluding paragraph. You're looking a 5 x 5 structure on this written description. Please do not describe the steps involved in making your illustrated concept map either! I don't want to read about the various steps in the making your concept map ("first, I bought some poster paper and glue. I went home. I wrote the word 'globalization' in the middle of the poster"--this is not what I want the written description to be like).

-------------------------
No, it should have more information than that. If you are using Word 2007 or 2010 there is the tab called "References" that you click on. You probably typed in all of your information on your various sources by clicking on "Insert Citation". The next step is clicking on "Bibliography" and then "Insert Bibliography". Make sure that it's alphabetized and you are good to go.

For paragraph 1, "the increasing interconnections and iterdependencies because of globalization" does this basicly mean sate the 3 main topics like social, economic, and political sub categories and how they relate to people globalizing?

From 10-1

No... He already said numerous times that the posters can be deposited any time in his room (preferably during tutorial).

{End Answer}
{Start Question}

How should we conclude our written description? Should we include whether globalization has had a generally positive impact or negative impact on identities, as is with our last essay? Or do we conclude it with more reiteration of how much globalization has impacted identity?

{End Question}

-----------------------
You can drop it off in the morning. You don't have to carry it around all day.

Either sound fine to me.

Singing the blues in class? I have got to stop letting my evil identical twin brother teach my class.
