We started looking at a case study of authoritarianism today, namely the People's Republic of China. We watched a couple of videos from the BBC 20th Century History series, "One Man's Revolution" and "China Since Mao". I also gave you a couple of reading packages, one called "The End of Democracy?" which originally appeared in Maclean's magazine, the other package covered the modern history of China. Your US-Canada Comparative Government Assignment is due on Wednesday, May 15th, and your US Civil Rights Movement Assignment is due on Tuesday, May 21st.
