We covered the concept of
illiberalism today with a film study of a very useful case study of illiberal action in a democratic society: the
FLQ Crisis of 1970. As you watched today's film you should have completed the film study worksheet. Make sure that you have complete answers to the worksheet! On the wiki under
Unit 3 you will find notes on
the Emergencies Act, the Anti-Terrorism Act and the USA PATRIOT Act. These are all useful examples. I also posted an
op-ed piece from the Edmonton Journal on the
post-9/11 "war on terror" and how it is linked the curtailing civil liberties that might be worth a read. Please study this weekend! I also posted
essay outlines and more importantly
sample essays on the wiki under
Diploma Exam Review. This is very important! These sample essays will give you ideas of case studies and evidence for your own essays.
All of today's class was spent with
TOK presentations on the moral dilemmas that were introduced in yesterday's class.
If you were away when the groups were assigned, you need to
go to the IB 20 wiki this weekend,
choose a moral dilemma and
write a response to one of the moral dilemmas and
hand it in on Monday.
You can find the moral dilemmas on the wiki under TOK, along with
an introduction to TOK PowerPoint presentation. Your
Canadian and American comparative government assignment was also due today. If you forgot to hand it in, please send it to me by e-mail.
Your IA planning booklets are due on Monday, June 11.
