Social 20-1
Today, I collected your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions. We watched a video from the PBS Nova series called "World in the Balance: The People Paradox". I think that after watching this video you can see the connections between population/demographic changes and impacts that it can have on other global issues. I also gave you a reading on Myanmar and the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis that hit the country in May 2008. Myanmar is an interesting case study of human rights, as well as the international response to this crisis, and in turn, the Myanmar military junta's response to the desire of the international community to send humanitarian aid to Myanmar. Please make sure that you read this supplementary articles (this is testable material, as is the other article about Myanmar that I am sending to your e-mail account). Tomorrow, we'll be looking at the situation in Darfur, which is also in your textbook (page 285). Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Wednesday, December 17th, here is your study guide.

Most of today's class was spent writing your Unit 3 Final Exam. If you finished up early, you were to use that time to work on your Chapter 15 Key Terms and Questions, which are due tomorrow. Also, I would expect you to post your Week 3 reactions to the oil shock on our class World Without Oil blog. Please check that blog for what you should focus your Week 3 reaction around.
