I took in your 1920s Study Guide at the beginning of class today. We finished off the "Roaring Twenties" video as well. Then I launched into a long-winded lecture on economics. A lot of the material that was covered connects to the Social Studies 30-1 curriculum, but in order to understand the economic crisis that emerges in 1929 you have to have some understanding of basic economics. We looked at the principles of individualism and collectivism (if you want more details on these please visit the Social 30-1 Unit 1 section of the wiki), classical liberalism and its political/democratic and economic foundations, the 20th century political spectrum, basic economic systems, basic economic values, the political-economic grid, basic economic values (GESSEF), the basic problem economic problem facing all societies (scarcity) and the basic economic questions. It was, I'm sure, a lot to take in. Tomorrow we will forge ahead with looking at the market economy in greater detail, including the boom and bust cycle. Please check the Great Depression section of the wiki as well, as we've posted some YouTube videos there.

The answers may be found in your United States and its People textbook. This homework is due tomorrow. We also started watching a video from the United States History series called "The Roaring Twenties". We'll pick this video up tomorrow where we left off, "The Jazz Age".

We watched a video on the genocide in Darfur called "Darfur: On Our Watch" for part of the period. You could use information in this video for your Unit 3 WRA II Essay. Remember, genocide is considered a contemporary global issues. You could argue that internationalism is effective, if not for nation-states pursuing their own national interests. In the case of Darfur, blame could be leveled at Chinese oil interests in Sudan and the Chinese government's usage of their veto power in the UN Security Council to block resolutions on Darfur being passed. You could also use information in the video for the other side of the argument as well.
Here are some other useful links on Darfur:
