We didn't quite finish watching
"Shake Hands with the Devil" today, so we'll finish it up tomorrow. After we finish watching the film tomorrow,
you will get the remainder of class time to work on your Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions. Your
Chapter 7 Key Terms and Questions are due on Thursday.
Please note the following upcoming key dates:

- Unit 2 WRA II is on Monday, December 5th
- Unit 2 Final Exam is on Monday, December 12th
I did a quick review of the
20th century political spectrum (you should review the 19th century political spectrum and each spot's position on change), and the
economic spectrum. You should review the economic-political grid tonight on your own. I also reviewed the
principles of collectivism and the
principles of individualism (
principles of liberalism). I went through the
basic economic problem facing all societies (
scarcity), the
basic economic systems (command economy, mixed economy, and market economy), the
basic economic questions (WHAT, HOW, FOR WHOM), and
basic economic values (GESSEF) for each economic system. You needed this economic groundwork laid down so we can start discussing
the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. We're starting our
Authoritarian States unit tomorrow, which you will have to review in Grade 12 for your IB exams, specifically
Paper 2.
