Comparative Government

  • Read about Economic Development in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, China, and India in pages 78-84.
  • Study for the quiz on Friday on “Class and Class Structure.”
  • Use documents from the previous posts as a study guide, as well as the textbook pages 62-72.
  • Please complete the “Country Comparison Chart” in the post below using your notes and the textbook to help you.

This can be used to compare and understand the needs of different social classes. The lower the social class, the less likely they are to have fulfilled the lower rungs of the pyramid.

  • Write a paragraph about the following topics:
    1.  Which “class” are you here in Venezuela? How do you know based on what we have learned in this class?
    2.  How does your “class” compare with the majority class in Venezuela?  How is wealth distributed to your class in this country?
    3. How does your “class” compare/contrast to the majority class and wealth distribution levels in each of the 10 countries we discussed?  Make sure to mention each country briefly.
  • (Keep in mind that when I say “majority class,” this pertains to the AMOUNT of people who belong to that class within a particular country.  When I say “wealth distribution levels” think of the “pen activity”).
  • Complete “Think and discuss” pg. 76.in your journals.  Please make sure you answer the question thoroughly.
  • Read pages 67-72 about class and class structure in all 10 countries and be prepared to take a short quiz on it in class.
