September 24


The entire class period was devoted to your TOK Civil War presentations. I really appreciated the creativity that went into some of today's presentations. Hopefully tomorrow's presentations will be just as good.

I went through a PowerPoint lecture called "Responding to Classical Liberalism and Industrialism". This presentation is up on the wiki already under Unit 2 Presentations. In this lecture we looked at the development of different ideologies in response to classical liberalism. During the Industrial Revolution new political ideologies emerged in response to laissez faire capitalism and classical liberalism. The Industrial Revolution spawned new political ideologies on the left (socialism) and the extreme left (communism) and on the right (classical conservatism). You'll get class time tomorrow to work on your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions.

I finished off the PowerPoint lecture on "Contending Loyalties" today. You had the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions (which are due tomorrow). Some of you opted to work on your French Revolution DBA Assignment (which is due on Thursday).
