July 5



I taught you about the 19th century political spectrum, and the 20th century political spectrum. I also talked about what happens to the 20th century political spectrum when you introduce other elements to the spectrum such as maximum political freedom versus maximum political control, which led to the political-economic grid. I went through  a lot of essay preparation today, so if you missed class, you'll need to get these notes from a classmate. I gave you the essay question sheet for the Unit 1 WRA II Essay that you'll be writing on Friday. Start looking at the sample Unit 1 essays that are on the Social 30-1 wiki under WRA II Essays, they will help you out immensely!
