    And the issue, to put it in a nutshell, is this: Knowing all this stuff is worthless, if all you've done is learn it. You seem to think that we're teaching you Western Civilization because gee, it's a great civilization. It's not. Like all civilizations, it has it's strengths and it has its flaws. Just because it's part of the dominant culture today doesn't make it good. Maybe the dominant culture today would be much better if certain aspects of Western Civilization were different - or even non-existent. Most of your essays saddened me because they were so full of cheer-leading for the West. Civilizations, Western or Eastern, Northern or Southern, don't need cheerleaders. They need critics.

    The final videos can all be found here.  I hesitate to embed any in the post because I know I would be prone to pick the "best" one.  Please click on the link and randomly select one to watch! There are two pages of videos-and hey-leave a comment or a thumbs up!  I have to say, that after watching the kids make these, the final products just don't reflect the amount of work that is needed.  What I mean is that you shouldn't watch them and say "My kids could do that in a couple of days."  It took 360 minutes of class time to produce those 1-2 minute videos!! One thing I wished we had done is to write transitions so that the different videos linked together better.  I inadvertently led them to make videos on topics that come across as standing alone in time instead of being influenced and apart of other events and movements.

    Reproduzo mais um trecho do livro Viagem à luta armada. Nesta parte do livro Carlos Eugênio está no seu apartamento no exílio em Paris, deitado numa banheira e entorpecido por drogas, que não curam, lógico, mas ajudam a aliviar a dor das lembranças sombrias: das vidas que se perderam na guerrilha que fracassou, da revolução perdida. Ele se lembra da intenção de fugir para Cuba para escapar do serviço militar e da despedida do pai. Ao ler este trecho fico pensando em quantas pessoas neste breve, louco e já tão distante século XX tiveram que fazer a mesma despedida: soldados vermelhos na Rússia; Partisans na Itália; Espartaquistas na Alemanha; todos tiveram que deixar suas famílias, seus entes queridos. Pois a partir dali suas vidas seriam em prol da revolução e nada mais importava a não ser a luta por uma sociedade melhor.

    Recebi um email essa semana que me intrigou mais do que de costume. O título: Cazuza, um idiota morto. Trata-se de uma psicóloga criticando o público por idolatrar um cara que tinha como principal frase ideológica: "Todos os meus heróis morreram de overdose." De acordo com a psicóloga, que é um profissional que se atém ao comportamento humano e deve zelar para que possamos viver melhor, solucionando problemas e ultrapassando obstáculos, a mensagem sobre o artista deveria ser divulgada para todas as famílias.

    O que uma crônica precisa ter para se tornar 'boa' aos olhos de quem a lê? Conteúdo? Humor? Tem que ser a narração de um fato? Tem que ser ficção? Ou apenas palavras? Ou quem sabe 'as' palavras? Fui leitor de O Globo por um tempo considerável e, sempre que posso, retorno às origens. Amo jornal e quem me conhece, sabe por que deixei de gostar. Não. Deixar de gostar não é termo apropriado, pois, dá a impressão de que os jornais mudaram com o passar do tempo. Mudaram sim, obviamente, mas não foi esse o motivo. Eu mudei.

For my younger/newbie, I find sites for them for the first bit of the year. I'd love to look at these ancient civilizations through their art and literature.

    I would like to encourage you to view or research some critiques of this material. After I viewed your post, I did some research and it looks like there is good criticism out there of this video that it portrays a one sided argument. I don't believe the video is wholly inaccurate. However, the video does present information that is easily questionable due to inaccurate and impartial interpretations. Part of our duty as great teachers it to present all facts and allow young citizens to use their own questioning to make informed decisions.
  • HistoryGrl14 . on 17 Oct 11
     
    I don't disagree with you. You don't have to 'encourage me to research critiques'. Maybe I should have written more when I posted it, but I was in a rush and just bookmarked it typed quick comments. I actually had seen the critiques. However, the way in which it is made, and things included are great for use as discussion starters and prompts for fact finding. I didn't include my lesson plan or the way I personally plan to use it, as I felt that was not relevant. I think each person can decide on their own how to use it. I agree great teachers do have a job to teach studnets to critically question and analyze - something I do all the time with my students. It helps when there is compelling items like this video to garner their interest. One of the things my students look at during our time together is motivation, and bias. So when I show it, my students will also be looking at who funded the video, and follow that trail back to look at biases that the group/companies involved might have. Also, with the different portions, as you mention, it is one sided in areas, so again, part of my personal lesson plan with this is that as we reach various portions of class that correlate with the video, my studnets will be viewing that portion and doing their own addition of the other side of the story. And I use a strategy called "philosophical chairs" and portions of this video along iwth well constructed starter questions are great for utilization in that situation.

  • For decades, Sweden, once a racially and culturally homogeneous country with an expansive social welfare system, insisted that it could absorb large numbers of non-European migrants without considering how those migrants should be integrated into Swedish society.
  • As they did in cities across Western Europe, migrants tended to cluster in low-income neighborhoods; facing poor job prospects and rampant employment discrimination, they naturally turned inward. More young women have started wearing the hijab recently, Mr. Abdirahman tells me, and more young men “internalize the otherness” — rejected by their new society, they embrace the stereotypes imposed upon them. This can lead to a point where they reject gay rights or liberalism as “white, Western ideas,” and even attack firefighters because they represent the state.
  • As we walk around, Mr. Abdirahman, who is single and childless, confesses: “When I came here in 1998, to me this place was paradise. Today, I wouldn’t want my children to grow up here.”
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Not all immigrants get the same push at home, he says; some parents discouraged their youngsters from going to the city center to mix. Sweden, he is afraid, has entered a vicious circle of immigration, segregation and growing mutual hostility.
  • The situation grew worse with the latest mass influx of refugees, in 2015, after which a number of suburbs became almost exclusively migrant. Considered “no go” areas by some Swedes, these neighborhoods are known to outsiders only from horrific headlines. What people don’t get to see, Mr. Abdirahman worries, is the bus driver or the cleaning lady working themselves ragged to get their children into a university.
  • the government, dominated by the traditionally strong Social Democrats and the centrist Moderate Party, did far too little. That left an opening for the Sweden Democrats, until recently a group relegated to the racist fringe of Swedish politics. In the past few years, the party has recast itself; just like the populist Alternative für Deutschland party in Germany and the Five Star Movement in Italy, it has repositioned itself as anti-establishment and anti-immigrant.
  • The Sweden Democrats accuses all other political actors and the media of “destroying” Sweden, calls for a suspension of the right to asylum and promotes an exit of Sweden from the European Union.
  • Sweden always imagined itself as something different, a society bound by its unique brand of togetherness. But that self-satisfaction justified a myopic approach to the very complex problem of how to integrate vast numbers of foreigners. If you believe in giving everyone a state-of-the-art apartment, social welfare and child benefits, then it’s unlikely you will tackle the hurdles of the highly regulated Swedish labor market.
  • Sweden Democrats profit from the fact that they were often the first to point to the downsides of immigration. Yet as much as they despise wishful thinking, they replace it with simplistic thinking. No matter what problems there might be in Sweden — housing shortages, school closings, an overburdened health care system — in the view of the Sweden Democrats, it is always one group’s fault: migrants.
  • Even if the Sweden Democrats win big on Sunday, the election might be a force for good. The Moderate Party, which is likely to take second place, might split over the question of whether to rule with them. And the Social Democrats, already under pressure to move to the left, might likewise fall apart. Sweden’s party landscape, in other words, might be blown to pieces.If the country is lucky, some parts from this explosion will bind together as a new force — one that takes seriously the need for realism on immigration and integration, without falling for the siren song of right-wing populism.

  • the 2015 subsidies were part of a much larger, must-pass budget bill. So was the 2018 tax credit for burying emissions. But with Republicans in full control of Congress, you can bet those measures would not have gotten through unless senior people in the party had wanted it to happen.
  • he looked me in the eye.“We know this problem is real,” he said, or words to that effect. “We know we are going to have to do a deal with the Democrats. We are waiting for the fever to cool.”
  • He meant the fever in the Republican base, then in full foaming-at-the-mouth, Tea Party mode. Denial of climate change was an article of faith in the Tea Party, and lots of Republican officeholders who had been willing to discuss the problem and possible solutions just a few years earlier had gone into hiding
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The fever never really cooled, of course. It transmuted into the raging xenophobia and nativism that put Donald Trump in the White House
  • What the fellow told me that day still holds true: Lots of Republicans know in their hearts that this problem is real
  • Certainly, some Republicans seem to believe that scientists are engaged in a worldwide conspiracy to cook the books on climate change. But they’re not all that crazy. And you can see this in the way that bits and pieces of sensible climate policy keep sneaking through Congress.
  • As long as nobody in those red districts back home is really watching, Republican members of Congress will adopt low-key measures to help cut emissions. They especially like ones that offer additional benefits, like building up the tax base in rural communities, as wind and solar farms do.
  • they tell you the political situation may not be quite as hopeless as it looks. Lurking below the surface of our ugly politics is, I believe, a near consensus to do something big on climate change.
  • Even if Democrats take Congress and the White House in 2020 and push forward an ambitious climate bill in 2021, they are likely to need at least a handful of Republican votes in the Senate
  • We ought to hope for more than that. The policy will be more durable if it passes Congress with substantial bipartisan majorities, as all of our landmark environmental laws did.
  • the Republicans — some of them, at least — are starting to sense political risk in continued climate denial. Their constituents, battered by the fires and torrential rains and the incessant rise of tidal flooding, are knocking on the closet door.
  • Frank Luntz, the pollster who wrote a scurrilous memorandum 17 years ago counseling Republicans to obfuscate the science of climate change, is among those who have come around

    Great article. I find myself everyday in the classroom wondering if my choice of content, my presentation of it, my choices of words, etc. leans to the left or the right. It's impossible to provide unbiased commentary, but I sure do try. Nothing is worse than a social studies teacher who insists on forcing their political views on students!
  • David Hilton on 14 Jan 10
     
    I hear you! I come from a background on the left, and sometimes quite suddenly when I'm explaining something to the class I'll hear my own voice and realise how partisan what I'm saying sounds. I found an excellent diagram of left and right ( http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/left-vs-right/ ) which I put up on the door so that at least the students might become more aware of the political spectrum and how it influences people's beliefs. Perhaps the best we can do is show the students how their political assumptions play out in their opinions so that as self-aware citizens they can at least make conscious choices... The right doesn't have much sway in education in Australia; I think the district board system over there in some areas (if you don't mind me saying...) gets hijacked sometimes by extremists by the looks of it. I've read some fascinating articles on how textbooks are approved in parts of the States which was quite surprising (the Intelligent Design debate I guess is an example).
