1. Social Studies 30 Mr. Tulk

2. Housekeeping No words today. Your assignment was due on Monday. It is now 3 days late! Your test will be late next week or early the following week. Cool.

3. Economic Roots of Liberalism (No not write this!) During the 1500-1700’s most economies were based on Mercantilism. Manufacture more then import. High taxes on imported goods. No education, money, or rights for the working class.

4. Mercantilism (or this!) A Eurocentric economic policy whereby European monarchs increased their wealth through international trade.

5. During the Enlightenment (Okay, start writing this!) After the philosophers began to think about this and people became more educated they found problems with this system? Adam Smith proposed a move from Mercantilism to the Free Market Economy and Supply and Demand?

6. Economic Freedom Our freedom to buy what we want and sell our labor to who we want are our economic freedoms. Employers also have the freedom to choose who they employee?

7. Social Expressions of Individualism The 1800-1900’s showed the development of Liberalism. Then in the 1920’s until the 1930’s we witnessed the collapse of the Market (kind of like today) This led to a movement towards collectivism. During the great depression people wanted to government to intervene in the economy.

8. Healthcare Those suffering during the great depression felt that heath care and social welfare should be available. Others felt that they should not be responsible for the heath and security of others.

9. Hmmmm. Can we see that today?

10. Let’s talk about the Great Depression for a little!

11. Modern Times  struggling to survive in the modern, industrialized world.  The film is trying to uncover the desperate employment conditions many people faced during the Great Depression.  Conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization.

12. NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT DONE! Let’s talk about Capital Punishment!

13. Prior to starting This is strange issue and has many sides. I am not going to give you a right or wrong answer. You will have different views. (Perspective, values, and beliefs!) So, please be respectful!

14. Capital Punishment We’ve talked about freedoms. We’ve talked about the “Rule of Law” We’ve talked about the “Social Contract” The majority of us will agree that laws are important and that we will give up certain rights in order to be safe.

15. However, Some issues are still debated. – Legalization of Marijuana. – Abortion – The one we are going to talk about is. – Capital Punishment (or the Death Penalty)

16. Capital Punishment the execution of a person by judicial process as a punishment for an offense. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. Capital punishment has been practiced in virtually every society the four most populated countries in the world (the People's Republic of China, India, United States and Indonesia) use the death penalty.

17. History In Middle Ages Europe, People used to use public execution as a form of entertainment. Many governments use it to intimated the public. In the US it is most severe punishment and often done private with limited audience.

18. In Canada The only method used in Canada was hanging. Before Canada eliminated the death penalty for murder on July 14, 1976, 1,481 people were sentenced to death. – 710 were executed. – 697 were men – 13 were women. – The last execution in Canada was on December 11, 1962.

19. The Debate The needs of the many outweigh the needs of one. The General safety of the public is more important. By violating the rights of another, a murder looses his/her rights. Capital punishment may deter others.

20. More. No one has to right to kill another. Individuals can change. Courts make fatal mistakes.

21. DNA Newly-available DNA evidence has allowed the exoneration and release of more than 15 death row inmates since 1992 in the United States.

22. What about cost IF they are going to stay in Jail, why no kill them? the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million more per execution than a non-death penalty murder case.

23. What about emotion? Put yourself in the shoes of a murder victims family. Put yourself in the shoes of a murderers family? I know, the Rule of Law is blind!

24. Before we start, this is graphic… If you want to leave you can. Wait outside the door and I’ll let you in at the end.

25. This is the other side! I hope you are confused… I won’t tell you my point of view. But, the Western World is split on the issue!
