CHAPTER 8 - Growth of Western Democracies
Assignments this week:
Chapter 8 Section #1 due Today - Upload to Google Classroom. Section #2 Due on Monday, Section #3 On Tuesday...yes, I know Monday is a holiday
Objective:
-Analyze the emergence of capitalism as a dominant economic pattern and the responses to it, including Utopianism, Social Democracy, Socialism, and Communism.
-Trace the evolution of work and labor, including the demise of the slave trade and the effects of immigration, mining, and manufacturing, division of labor, and the union movement.
-You have learned about the changes and problems brought about by the Industrial
Revolution. Now you will focus on the ways in which Britain, France, and the United
States responded to these issues, including advances in political democracy and the emergence of capitalism.
-A series of political reforms during the 1800's and early 1900's transformed Great Britain from a monarchy and aristocracy into a democracy. While some British politicians opposed the reforms, most sided in favor of reforming Parliament to make it more representative of the nation’s growing industrial population.
Rationale:
The Industrial Revolution was the biggest social turning point in history, transforming the very way people lived their lives. Identifying the various social, political, and economic changes of the times is essential in understanding the period and the effects it had on the world. Emerging Democracies based on capitalism and individual rights transforms societies.
Evidence:
Being able to identify and explain the effects of the Industrial Revolution on the living experience of people all of over the world will assist in understanding the different paths societies took as they developed.

Prior to Queen Victoria, England was going through a change that was a result of the revolutions within Europe (French Primarily). The change in politics slowly began eroding the social situations enjoyed by the wealthy...very slowly. Slavery in the USA was abolished in the 1860's but the civil rights movement didn't really make a social change until the 1950's, so things take time.
Democracy was on the move in Europe, and England played its part.

First, we will review the social structure within England activity from Tuesday.
Pro Con Chart of Etiquette - in this chart there are 10 social norms that were demanded of society.
Social classes were prescribed proper behaviors, and "doing things" outside your role was seen as socially disruptive, and therefore to "maintain protocol" was seen as a social good... for example today, cheating on your spouse is not illegal but is socially unacceptable, when it happens society frowns upon that person to send a message to other people to not do it. There are plenty of examples of where societies dictate behavior expectations to avoid social chaos.
