Unrest


Circle time:
What is causing the greatest unrest in the global community today?

1.  The ABCs of social and political movements.
Names, cities, human rights, riots, civil disobedience ... who/where/what can you name?

2.  Definitions:
Social philosophy: branch of philosophy that addresses relationships between people and political institutions.
  • social welfare
  • labour policies
  • equality vs equity
Political philosophy: branch of philosophy that looks at the ideal type of government and where the power resides.
  • power of the church vs the state
  • justice
  • monarchy/democracy/constitutional monarchy etc
  • meanings of justice and freedom
Main thinkers: a flipped classroom: See mine as an example
  1. Find your slides
  2. provide limited background info (name, dates, locations etc)
  3. provide ONE main social or political philosophical theory
  4. find a current (last 100 years) event where the theory came into play (video, 2-5 minutes)
  5. explain importance
We will start the flipped classroom presentation on Friday.  You will be expected to take notes and ask questions of your peers.
