Industrial Revolution What was changed? | How was the economy changed? | Examples from 1900’s & today | The Decline of Small, Traditional Communities. | This decline would not be known to a person whom had never lived in, or seen a small community like so it is easily overlooked. | 1900’s: in the camps of hunters and gatherers and in the rural villages of Europe and North America, people lived in small communities where life revolved around family and neighborhood.Today: Small, isolated communities still exist in the United States, of course, but are home to only a tiny percentage of our nation’s people. | The Expansion of Personal Choice. | People in traditional, preindustrial societies view their lives as shaped by forces beyond human control – gods, spirits, fate. As the power of tradition weakens, people come to see their lives as an unending series of options, a process Berger calls individualization. | Many people in the United States choose a particular lifestyle, showing an openness to change. Indeed, it is a common belief that people should take control of their lives.1900’s: The choice of religion and community.Today: Being able to choose what school you go to, what clothes you wear, what sexual orientation you are, etc. | Increasing Social Diversity. | In preindustrial societies, strong family ties and powerful religious beliefs enforce conformity and discourage diversity and change. Modernization promotes a more rational, scientific world view as tradition loses its hold and people gain more individual choice. | 1900’s to Today: The growth of cities, the expansion of impersonal bureaucracy, and the mix of people from various backgrounds combine to encourage diverse beliefs and behavior | Orientation Toward the Future and a Growing Awareness of Time. | Made people aware of the changes and new inventions of the future. | 1900’s: The invention of clocks.Today: Focused on personal gain, modern people demand precise measurement of time and are likely to agree that “Time is Money”. |

Revolution and Terrorism Definition Of Revolution | Definition Of Terrorism | An overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. | The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. | A radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. | The state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization. | A sudden, complete or marked change in something. | A terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government |

Examples of Revolution | Examples of Terrorism | My Definition and What it Means to Me | The English Revolution is the period of the English Civil Wars and Commonwealth period (1640–1660), in which Parliament challenged King Charles I's authority, engaged in civil conflict against his forces, and executed him in 1649. This was followed by a ten-year period of bourgeois republican government, the "Commonwealth", before monarchy was restored in the shape of Charles' son, Charles II in 1660. The American Revolution was a political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century in which thirteen colonies in North America joined together to break from the British Empire, combining to become the United States of America. | September 11th 2001:There were 2,974 fatalities, not including the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes (no one on board of the hijacked aircrafts survived),[38] 2,603 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the PentagonFeb. 9, Iraq: a suicide bomber kills four American soldiers and their Iraqi translator near a police checkpoint. | My definition of revolution would simply be the overthrow of one government and its replacement with another. To me, this means that things could change at any time if the government chose to make this decision. My whole life could change because I have a child and I use fafsa for college; all of that could be gone in a blink of an eyeMy definition of terrorism would be the unlawful use of force or violence by a person or group against people or property. To me, terrorism is a scary thing. The newest threat on the US by North Korea could happen at any time. No one knows when this will be! |

Economic Systems Types of Economic Systems | Examples | Socialism | A socialist economy limits rights to private property, especially rights to private property used to generate income. The individualistic pursuit of profit goes against the collective orientation of socialism. | Capitalism | In a capitalist economy, individuals can own almost anything. A capitalist society seeks to create profit and wealth. The profit motive is the reason people take new jobs, open new businesses, or try to improve products. The US economy is a good example of this. | Communism | After the Communist revolution in China, the state took control of all farms, factories and other productive properties. |

There are more differences than there are similarities when it comes to the above economic systems. But, with communism and socialism, the government controls everything; in capitalism, individuals control everything. They have say so in how much they sell things for, where their location of their property is, etc.

Political Systems Type Of Political System | Associating Sources of Power for the System | Examples of Each | Monarchy | Pluralism, Power Elite | The bible tells of great Kings such as David and Solomon | Democracy | Pluralism | The United States | Authoritarianism | Power Elite, Marxism | The military junta in Ethiopia | Totalitarianism | Power Elite, Marxism | The Vietnamese government closely watches the activities of all of its citizens; The government in North Korea uses surveillance equipment and powerful computers to control its people by collecting and storing information about them. |
