Day 9

CHAPTER 9 The NEW IMPERIALISM


You will be given the period to take your Chapter 9 Test. I have included a quizlet site with some practice questions that you can use to review

Journal question will be for Friday

CHAPTER 10 The NEW GLOBAL PATTERNS


Objective:
Students will be able to analyze the patterns of global change in the era of New Imperialism in at least two of the following regions or countries: Africa, South Asia, China, India, Latin America, and the Philippines

Rationale:
The social and economic changes that affected the rest of the undeveloped world had their roots in many different motives. Students should be able to look at the various "reasons" and articulate their support of or disdain for, each reason.

Evidence:
Being able to argue for (either) the benefits of Imperialism on the host country vs the benefits for the colonizing country will provide evidence that students are looking at issues from both sides.


___________________________________________________________________________________________
Essential Question - Do we control the air over our country?


Journal Entry 
Japan attacked and controlled Korea in (Chapter 10 page 325) 1894. In 1910 it annexed Korea outright absorbing the land into the Japanese empire. By 1919 an uprising occurred but Japan crushed it killing many Koreans. Korea has never forgot these events and there exists today a clear level of animosity between North Korea and Japan. Last Year North Korea had a nuclear test and a satellite launch. (the satellite flew over Levi stadium just after the Super Bowl last year)
Here is how the world reacted...
"China is more cautious than some of the rest of us, for reasons that we do understand," Obama said. "What we will be doing, the United States and Japan will be doing, is seeking to persuade the Chinese that it is in the interests of all of the international community now to apply some more direct economic pressure on North Korea at this point." Great Britain called North Korea's actions "extremely destabilizing" for the region and said Britain would be summoning Pyongyang's ambassador in response.
If you were president, how would you respond? (remember Japan is an ally, South Korea is an ally, China is a trading partner, and North Korea still blames the USA for their country's split, and wants to kill/destroy America)

Essential Question - Is Capital Punishment a deterrent?
___________________________________________________________________________________________

What would your punishment be for Dylann Roof (the guy who shot and killed 9 people in a church in South Carolina)

Cartoon Analysis guide - Here (after reviewing the cartoon, list the examples in the chart and answer the questions at the end and be ready to submit them to the classroom folder)
 Cartoon Option #1      Cartoon Option #2 

During the Victorian Age in England, the death penalty changed rather dramatically, what role did the "trend" that you have identified in the previous lesson have on this change (in your opinion)
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Today's Agenda - "Human" rights and Trade

During the first 50 years in England from 1800-1850 many of the subjects addressing what "human rights" are were being challenged. Suffrage, crime and punishment (including what crimes merit capital punishment) slavery, ownership of property, working conditions, etc, were under scrutiny.
This was occurring at the same time society was instituting strict social behavior norms for its upper class members of society (The Downton Abby class)

There were several changes afoot during this time, this form lists a few of the "themes" that seemed to evolve during this period. Here - These are some of the themes

 Theme Activity Sheet, review the chart, and list what you feel is the "theme" of this era (from the form above)

Your task will be to express what "theme" of this era was the most important. You will identify which change(s) you feel was the most impactful (even if at the time it was symbolic) to the future development of how society has evolved.

This will be expressed in a paragraph that lists 3 pieces of evidence that support your opinion about why your "Theme" is correct.
* What condition(s) lead to the act (this is where you describe what the social conditions were that created the "need" to make a change... why did the Chartist Act come about?
* Describe the Act itself...What changed as a result of the Chartist Act being implemented
* Describe the details of the Act...how would you explain the Chartist Act to someone who didn't know what it was...this is where you include a few "such as..." or "for example..."

 If you finish your answer, you should use the time to continue your outline as Sect #4 is due Friday...The same day as the Chapter 8 Test

Resources: Chapter 8 presentation -Chapter 8

Day 2

CHAPTER 8  - Growth of Western Democracies

Assignments this week:
 Section #2 Due tonight, Section #3 On Monday Night & Noam Chomsky What is Democracy"...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.

___________________________________________________________________________________________


Essential Question - How did political reform gradually expand suffrage and make the British Parliament more democratic during the 1800's?
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Journal Entry - Veto Power - State level has Line-item veto power (veto portions of a bill, and can strip money out, which eliminates a portion) Fed (president) does not have line-item veto power (it's all or nothing). Should the president have the ability to only veto portions of a bill or should it remain all or nothing? Congress can override a Presidential veto, what do you think is the correct % of congressional votes that should be necessary for Congress to override the President? (write a paragraph providing 3 reasons that support your claim)

Link to article - Here      Presidential Veto power - Here

During the Victorian Age in England, the Veto power resided with the House of Lords, but that gradually changed.
