May 11

If you missed class today you should know that I gave out a handout on rights that you'll need to get. This handout covered rights, human rights, civil rights, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, entrenchment of rights and other topics. I also gave you a couple of handouts that you can use in tomorrow's in-class writing assignment where you will be writing an analysis of a propaganda poster. You had the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 11 Key Terms and Questions, which are due on Tuesday. Your USA-Canada Government Comparison charts are due tomorrow, as are your Chapter 9 Key Terms and Questions. Your Chapter 10 Test is next Wednesday, please the study guide below. Don't forget to post your comments on the May 5th post.

This test is multiple choice format, with 55 questions. Please review the PowerPoint "Political Challenges to Liberalism". You're responsible for all key terms and questions from the Chapter 10 Worksheet. Please review the following as well:
  • Characteristics of Democracy (handout notes)
  • Characteristics of Dictatorships (handout notes)
  • Democratic Systems (handout notes)
  • Non-Democratic Systems (handout notes)
  • Structure of Canadian Government
  • Structure of American Government
  • similarities/differences between the parliamentary system and presidential system
  • types of dictatorships
  • techniques of dictatorships
  • authoritarian systems

  • review political and economic spectrum (again!)
We finished going through the "Globalization and Sustainability" PowerPoint presentation today. We also watched a short interview between Jeff Rubin and George Strombolopolous as they discussed the future of globalization in a world with triple digit oil prices. Your Chapter 14 Key Terms are due tomorrow.

Do the bullets, "how has this TNC affected the lives of consumers?", "How has this TNC affected the lives of people in developing countries?" fall under the bullet, "How has the expansion of this transnational corporation affected people's lives economically, socially, and politically"? Can the larger bullet be answered with two sections on the smaller two bullets?

I think you can incorporate some of those ideas under the larger category of "how has the expansion of this TNC affected people's lives economically, socially, and politically".
