U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time - 3 views

  •  
    It's not strictly speaking history-related however most of us also teach social studies or something similar and it was just too cool to pass up. An excellent way of demonstrating to students the issues regarding the current Western economic model and the Chimerica conundrum. Scary.

    A book far ahead of it's time. Easy to find a selection for homework or lesson prompt - from the weaponization of public opinion to the marketing of cigarettes. Students could just flip through the book or you could assign specific readings.

Blame game erupts over Trump's decline in youth vote - POLITICO - 1 views

  • For instance, a post-election study by the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University showed that 60 percent of Trump voters between the ages of 18 and 29 believe racism is a “somewhat or very serious issue,” compared to 52 percent of Trump voters above 45 years old. Similar gaps emerged when young Trump voters were asked about the importance of climate change (52 percent said they were “concerned” versus 40 percent of older Trump voters) and their self-proclaimed identity (61 percent identify as conservative versus 74 percent of older Trump voters).
