What should I know about John Stuart Mill and jermemy Bentham? What were somre results of imperialism? like is it just the basics, tensions grew, Africa was split up into colonies, spheres of influence or... Also who was Rudyard Kipling, I searched him on google and it said he was an artist!?! Is The "white man's burden" just saying that the caucasian race was superior to other races? And imperialism is a cause of world war 1 because... it made tensions grow? :s I was also wondering the outbreak of WWI (key events) is that just ANIMAL? Also would you mind posting a chronological timeline of the events I should know in WWI? please that would be great!!! What do you mean by views on gov't prior to WWI?

-----------------------------------
Please know that JS. Mill was a major supporter of Liberalism. Know what liberals believed in (it's in a PowerPoint that I sent to you entitled "Ideological Reaction to Industrialization"). Ditto for Bentham. Kipling was a writer and poet. He wrote a poem called "The White Man's Burden".

Here it is:

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden--
No iron rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.

Take up the White Man's burden!
Have done with childish days--
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.


It's a very imperialistic poem. The "burden" is the destiny of the white man to help "civilize" the rest of the world.

Imperialism was a cause of WWI because many of the major European powers were competing for colonies overseas and this led to tension and conflict between these major powers. Having an overseas empire added to the prestige of the country.
-----------------------------------
For the outbreak of WWI know details related to the ANIMAL mnemonic device that I taught you.
-----------------------------------
There are timelines at the beginning of each chapter in your textbook. Use those, and think about key events that I emphasized in class.

What was the concordat? I see it popping up everywhere but I don't remember what it was.

-----------------------------------
This is an agreement that Napoleon worked out with the Catholic Church. Here's where you can find it: in the chart I made you do on Napoleon's domestic policies, or possibly in that PDF file on Napoleon that I asked you to print off.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Should we know the Boer war?

--------------------------------
Yes.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Do I need to know Robert Owen?
----------------------------------
Know that he's an example of a Utopian socialist. Please see the PowerPoint presentation entitled "Ideological Reaction to Industrialization"; that level of detail is sufficient.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

What were some results of imperialism?

6:17 PM
-----------------------------------
You can look at imperialism as having both beneficial and detrimental results for the colonies. The European powers did some good in the colonies when it also benefitted them. This question is too open-ended for me. I could talk about this for a long time, but I don't have the energy to type it all out.

54. A system that was implemented to keep boys and girls out of the work force during the Industrial Revolution?
A- Lycee system
*B- Universal Education
C- 8-Hour Bill
D- The University
I don't even remember reading about universal education...


55.Desertification is an example of what?
A- Irrigation
B- Deforestation
C- Waste disposal
*D- Soil Degradation
Can you please explain this one for me.



62. What forced peasant farmers in to the cities that ultimately helped fuel the Industrial Revolution?
a) Urbanization Acts
b) Industrializing Acts
c) Wealthy Entrepreneurs
*d) Enclosure Acts
What do enclosure acts have to do with peasants moving to towns? is it just the fact that they can not afford 2 enclose their lands, I would have guessed this one to be A.


72. Which two countries were parts of the dual alliance?
a) Germany and Italy
b) France and Britain
c) France and Russia
*d) Germany and Austria
I did this question too, oh wait the dual alliance is different than the duel entente isn't it?!?!



75. How does a cash crop differ from a food crop?
a) Food crops are used to feed the village only.
b) Food crops are typically exported to neighboring countries.
c) Cash crops are intended for personal use, food crops are intended for trade.
d) Food crops are intended for personal use, cash crops are intended for trade.

How is the answer to this one A should it not be D?


81. What is the main reason for major powers to establish colonial empires as a result of the industrial revolution?
a. God, gold, glory
*b. Markets, raw materials, investments
c. Strategic, Aggressive, Leadership
d. Sea ports, cash crops, extraterritoriality

Is C to much of a general answer for this one?

What do you mean by "views on gov't prior to WWI"?
----------------------------------
Where is that? In the blueprint, or in the key concept list?

Anonymous said...

haha someone here should look at the Social 10 blog. It is insane

Kevin Gilchrist said...

"Views on government prior to WWI"
---------------------------------
Now I know what I meant by that! Views on things like the European powers' foreign policy, expansionist policies, spheres of influence (in the Balkans, for example). I can't give you anymore help on this one.

What is Weltpolitik?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

What is Weltpolitik?

---------------------------------
Weltpolitik is the name given to Germany's move to global stature after 1894. It marks the start of German attempts to really begin to assert themselves on the international stage, establishing an overseas empire, etc.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

I am NOT going to tell you exactly what you need to know about any topic, so please stop posting comments like that. Study the material!! Don't forget to study both topics!!

Kevin Gilchrist said...

----------------------------------
You don't need to know the Bolshevik Revolution. I think that it used to be part of the Social 20 curriculum, but it was switched.
