Freedom and Order

At the beginning of the unit we discussed the difference between freedom and order and how extremes of these will cause chaos.  From what we have studied so far in the French Revolution, please find an example of each of these. 

Modern Revolution

We have talked about the difference between Evolutionary Change and Revolutionary Change.  Evolutionary is slow and gradual whereas Revolutionary is quick and complete.  Look around the news.  Can you see any revolutionary changes happening?  These can be political, physical, economical, natural... State what is the event and why you believe it is revolutionary.

History in the Making

History is a series of events that people have lived through and we try to piece together what it was like based on the stories that have survived the years.  Imagine it is 50 years in the future and you are telling your grandchildren the history of your youth.  What are some key events, people, inventions and attitudes that you would want to share with the future generations?

Most Common Acculturation

We studied 4 types of acculturation in this unit: Accommodation, Assimilation, Annihilation, and Segregation.  We also looked at a few examples of colonization and the acculturation that occurred in these cases.  What would you say would be the most common type of acculturation that occurred during the Imperialism Age of when colonization was at its peak?  Give a brief explanation that supports your opinion.

Residential Schools

Upon watching "We Were Children",you learned about several aspects of Residential Schools.  Upon listening to Stephen Harper's apology, you also learned of some of the effects residential schools had on First Nations people.  What were some of the long term effects of Residential Schools?

Imperialism

Industrialization to a large extent promoted Imperialism as world leaders wanted to extend their power or control over the world.  By taking over territory, European nations expanded their land and resources, but they often did not consider the people who were already on the land or the resources they were exploiting.  Even though the age of Imperialism took place over 100 years ago, what are some of the impacts it still has today?  

Industrial Revolution

Some say the Industrial Revolution had the largest impact on history and society; agree or disagree with this statement.  Make reference to past and present to support your response.
