September 27

I went through a lot of key concepts today. We looked at the emergence of welfare capitalism (and how it means one thing in the United States, and something else everywhere else in the world) and how modern liberalism came into existence as a result of the Great Depression. We looked at Keynesian economics (demand-side economics), and specifically monetary and fiscal policy, and how application of Keynesian economic theory to various stages of boom and bust cycle works. I did a homework check on "Philosophies of Industrialism" today. Please make sure that you read Chapter 4 tonight, if you haven't already done so. Your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday.

I finished off the "Contending Loyalties" PowerPoint presentation and I have already sent it to you, so please print it off (4-6 slides per page) and add it your notes. We will be doing a WRA I on Friday, so on Thursday, I will review with you how to write these in-class assignments.Your Chapter 3-4 Test is next Tuesday, please see the study guide below. Your French Revolution DBA is due on Thursday.

This quiz will be on Thursday, October 2nd. It will consist of a matching section (10 key concepts) and a short answer section.
  • make sure that you study the PowerPoint presentation "Contending Loyalties"
  • make sure that you have read Chapters 3 and 4 (it is all testable material)
  • know the key concepts from Chapters 3 and 4 (please see the Unit 1 Worksheet for these)
  • study your answers to the Chapter 3 and 4 questions from the Unit 1 Worksheet (all could potentially be on the quiz)
