Class on Tuesday, January 31

On Tuesday we will finish up the viewing of Persepolis and discuss some of the themes (ethnicity, ideology, theocracy, fundamentalism, etc.) that apply to chapter 3 in O'neil .  Also, there will be a brief lecture on ideology and political economy with some activities setup to help you determine where you land on the ideological spectrum.  We will then continue on with Chapters 6 and 7, covering democracies and advanced democracies, with a practice FRQ at the end of class (time permitting).  I hope you enjoyed your Freedom Friday (even though it was a very lopsided election) and have a good weekend!!

    Mr. Sharpe, I thought that these two articles about Nigeria showed some of the problems over there.

    Great articles. These stories really show you how important oil is to the global economy. We will go over these in class.
