Your to-do list
The world around youPlease think about how you have dealt with situations around you. When you see a friend or classmate in need, do you get yourself involved or stick to your own business? If you take action, when are you likely to do it on your own versus gathering a group of people? What are the pros and cons to each course of action? Please post your ideas to Google Classroom. Foreign Policy PhilosophiesLet's continue to look at the different ways that countries address the world around them. We started looking at Idealism versus Realism the last class. We will continue with that work today and then continue by looking at two more combinations: Isolationism versus Engagement and Unilateralism versus Multilateralism. In each combination we will examine several case studies and debate what the best option is.

Historical ImmigrantsThe United States was built on immigrants. There aren't many of us who do not trace our roots back to someone who settled in the United States after travelling from a foreign land. As we look at U.S. History, there are even groups that are famed for their travels to the United States. Often these groups arrived at different times, though. What if they all showed up at once? And we could only let one of them in? Who would you take? Please head to the Historical Immigrants question on Google Classroom to choose which of our famous immigrant groups you would let into the country.
