Social 30-1

I went through a lot of content today. I went through the 19th century political spectrum, the 20th century political spectrum, the economic-political grid, the principles of collectivism, and the principles of individualism (principles of classical liberalism). We started watching "Sicko" today, and we'll finish it off tomorrow. You should also look into the PBS documentary called "Sick Around the World". Here's a link to the "Sick Around the World" website, which contains a lot of information and statistics about different health care systems. I really recommend that you take the time to watch this video this weekend, click here to watch. Please remember that you have your Chapter 1-2 Test tomorrow, please see the study guide below. You'll be writing your Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday, and I'm posting the study guide again below.
