D block - Socials 11
The objective for this class was to understand what the political isms in Canada mean. I asked you to think about some terms: communism, democracy, socialism, liberalism, ideology and liberalism.
Definition of ideology: a set of ideas that guide the decisions of people; political ideologies are systems of ideas that explain how a society should be organized; beliefs and/or platforms of political parties.
I asked you to agree or disagree with 15 various statements to see 1) what your political ideologies might be and 2) to give you examples of topics that political parties take a stance on (ex: some parties are completely opposed to the death penalty, others are not). In groups, we then came up with definitions for 6 isms: totalitarianism, democratism, liberalism, conservatism, socialism and capitalism.
For homework, please read pages 255 to 258 in your textbook, and answer questions 3 and 4 (a+b) on page 258. You'll find information on the various political parties in Canada here (check out the Rhinoceros Party!).
