I gave you a reading today on the Causes of the First World War, which gives you some more background information on conditions in the major European powers on the eve of WWI. Many of you probably didn't finish this in class, so please make sure that you finish reading it at some point. I showed you a couple of short videos on the First World War, including "The Clash of the Generals" and "Trench Warfare". Tomorrow, you have your Chapter 3-4 Quiz, here is the study guide (it's also on the wiki). On Monday, October 6th you have your Unit 1 Final Exam. The study guide for the Unit Final is here, and on the wiki.

I split you into two large groups today, one group read an article called "Globalization Benefits the World's Cultures" and the other group read "Globalization Harms the World's Cultures". You read the article individually, taking notes on potential arguments, examples and case studies within the article that you were given. You then went into the group that read the same article, and you formulated a debate strategy, discussing potential arguments the other side might raise, and potential counter-arguments that you could use. We then had class debate on the topic. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 Final Exam tomorrow, here is the study guide (it's also on the wiki).

What do we exactly have to know from the Contending Layalties Power Point for the quiz tomorrow? The notes we took while you were going over it in class, if we studied just those would that be ok?

Conscientious Objection- Mennonites and Doukholars promised religious freedom and exemption from military service.
could you explain this to me? is this a key term we will have to know? are the bolded words correct and spelt right and what do they mean.

Go over your notes from that Powerpoint, and maybe have a listen to it again from the wiki. Also, make sure that your have READ ALL of Chapter 3 and 4, that covers contending nationalist loyalties and non-nationalist loyalties.

Conscientious objection is when someone objects to something (typically, going to war) because it goes against their conscience, their beliefs. For example, in the 1960s there were a lot of American men that were drafted into the military to fight in the Vietnam War who left the United States and came to Canada because they didn't want to fight in the war. These men are called "draft dodgers" by some and "consientious objectors" by others. I hope that helps with your first question. Certain religious groups in Canada are exempt from military service because it is against their religion to fight because they are pacifists. The Mennonites and the Doukhobors are two different religious groups that were granted this exemption. During the wars, their loyalty to Canada was questioned by some because they didn't fight. I hope that helps.
