Chapter 9 Test scheduled for Wednesday, Jan 31st
Objective:
Students will be able to describe the rise of industrial economies and their link to imperialism and colonization ( e.g. the role played by national security and strategic advantage: moral issues raised by search for natural hegemony, Social Darwinism, and the missionary impulse; material issues such as land, resources, and technology)

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.

Imperialism Introductory Video 


Journal Entry - Imperialism, can bring horror and tragedy, but can also bring rights and opportunities. 
1. Is it the "responsibility" of the USA to bring democracy, rights, freedoms, etc, to countries that currently do not offer that to its citizens?
2. When is it necessary for the USA to intervene in the affairs of other countries? (famine, genocide, natural disaster, etc, ??). 
3. What if we (The USA) are receiving resources (that are vital to our national interests) from a country that is non-democratically run, treats it people in a very non-democratic way, even violating human rights? (Saudi Arabia) Should this affect our relationship with them?

After the journal entry, we will correct the Chapter 8 tests, then look at the Paragraphs from last week
