Social 30-1

You wrote the Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test at the beginning of class today, and I will post the results on HomeLogic today. reviewed how demand-side economics and supply-side economics respond to a recession after you were finished writing the test. After the break you did a one page assignment on analyzing a political cartoon of your choosing and submitted it during class time. We then moved on to Chapter 5 material, namely we started looking at the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin and the command economy in the USSR. I went through some Russian history notes (page 123 in your coursebook). You are responsible for reading, highlighting, and annotating the notes in your Social 30-1 coursebooks on Marx (pages 113-115), Lenin (pages 116-117) and Stalin (pages 118-120). We also talked about the different strands of socialism as well today. I showed you a documentary from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Stalin and the Modernization of the USSR". I also did half of the "20th Century Rejections of Liberalism" lecture, focusing on Stalin's USSR. Please read, highlight and annotate the Nazi Germany portion of this lecture tonight.
