December 16

You wrote a short matching quiz on Prescribed Subject 1 today for part of the period.We then did a quick review of the boom and bust cycle before applying Keynesian economics to the business cycle. You need to know not only the various parts of the business cycle, but also the "economic snapshots" (what's going on in the economy at that stage) and how monetary and fiscal policy try to address those stages.

I did a homework check on your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions today at the beginning of class. The rest of the class period was given over to you to get some work done on your Unit 4 Worksheet. You have all of your key terms and questions from this unit due next week. Next week we will be looking at a history of French and English relations in Canada and regional disparity in Canada as well, two major themes in Unit 4 that I haven't covered yet. Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Tuesday, December 20th, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it).

We looked at the issue of the invasion of privacy today for part of the period particularly emphasizing increased airport security in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and other subsequent attempted attacks and the response being increased pat-downs and full body scanners at airports in addition to the no-fly lists. You should be making connections between these concepts and the ideas of Thomas Hobbes. We also looked at the issue of CCTV cameras in the UK and Austria by watching a couple of short YouTube videos on the subject. Your Chapter 12 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday. Your Unit 3 Final Exam is on Monday, December 19th, please see the study guide here (scroll down to find it). Your Social 30-1 Trial Final is on Wednesday, December 21st.
