Intro: Evolution of concepts...

Throughout the late(r) 1990s and World War 11, the civil rights movement, and the women's rights movements (1960s-70s), many events occurred to demonstrate the evolution of the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity. The evolution of these concepts included times of both progression (gains of freedom, responsibility and respect) and regression (the loss or at least non-prosperous times for personal freedoms etc.).

NOW...

NOW please go to xtimeline.com and search for my timeline typing in the words "evolution of concepts" and it should pop up. After viewing my timeline, please read my conclusion below.

Conclusion: Evolution of concepts...

In conclusion, through the evolution of the concepts of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity that took place in the late 1900s, these concepts have PROGRESSED (more than they have digressed) as a whole, and people in America GAINED (more) personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity (from them for others and from others for themselves).

RAR!!!! It won't let me do the copy+paste thing with the worksheets!!! So you'll have to read my papers tomorrow. Sorry about the day late, but the assignment wasn't even on your website anyways :(

Current events summary 3/6/08

The snow storms in February cost the economy more than $15 billion from damage, according to the Chinese government, and they were expecting MORE snow half way thru the month, but apparently it didn't really come. Public transportation is recovering after the huge storms and this improvement should give the economy a boost.
The storms also raised rising price pressures even higher, and inflation is continuing despite higher interest rates and other attempts to keep the economy from overheating. Chinese inflation hit an an 11-year high in January after the snow storms, and is still very high. As the economy boomed in January, China's trade surplus soared 22.7% and the imports and exports increased dramatically (since past months/years). Premier Wen Jiabao has said tackling inflation is one of China's major tasks for this year. We will see how effective their task-tackling is...
China says it plans to increase military spending this year by nearly 18%. If this really happens, not only will it make other countries (i.e. the US) very nervous but will take money away from other parts of China and its economy that need it. Some Chinese spokesmen say the increased military spendings will be spent on increasing salaries and accommodating higher oil prices, but who knows what tehy're REALLY planning???

project theme 2

My new theme is #5:
*Evaluate the development of scientific reasoning, technology, and formal education over time and their effects on people's health, standards of living, economic growth, government, religious beliefs, communal life, and the environment.
MCAS standards:
-Analyze the following domestic policies of Presidents Truman and Eisenhower:
Truman's Fair Deal
the Taft-Harley Act (1947)
Eisenhower's response to the Soviet's launching of Sputnik
Eisenhower's civil rights record
-Analyze the origins, goals, and key events of the civil Rights movement.
-Analyze the important domestic policies and events that took place during the presidencies of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon.
-Analyze the important domestic policies and events of the Clinton presidency.

The chapters of the textbook that will help me get started are:
27 The Postwar Boom (Truman)
28 Kennedy and the Cold War (Kennedy, Johnson)
29 Civil Rights
(possibly) 30 The Vietnam War Years (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon)

I am doing another timeline for this theme because I feel that is an efficient way to communicate this theme through these standards.
