This is the first week of Social Studies content at Utopian. "Article of the Week" - The Other Student Activists - The Atlantic Students should read the article during the course of the week and write a 1/2 - 3/4 page response. Part of the response should be a summary of the main points of the article. Part of the response should be the students personal feelings about what they have read. This can be hand written, but should be written clearly and with good grammar and punctuation. Articles will be passed out on Monday and are due on Friday. Conflict and Change: How do people of Different Backgrounds View Racial Equality? The student will understand that when there is conflict between or within societies, change is the result. When you have conflicts with your friends does it change your friendship? If so, how? Why do you make changes in your life? Why does change always follow conflict? Culture: The student will understand that the culture of a society is the product of the religion, beliefs, customs, traditions, and government of that society. How do you describe your family’s culture? How do government actions affect your culture? Should schools try to influence or reflect the students’ cultures? What cultural conflicts have you seen in your school or the U.S.? Why do you choose the friends you choose? Governance: The US Constitution The student will understand that as a society increases in complexity and interacts with other societies, the complexity of the government also increases. How have your responsibilities changed as your family as changed or as you have gotten older? In what ways do the rules in sports get more complicated at different levels? (i.e. Tee ball through Major Leagues) How have society and government adapted to each other’s growing complexities? Human and Environmental Interaction: The student will understand that humans, their society, and the environment affect each other. How is the landscape changed when neighborhoods are built? What jobs are available or unavailable because of the physical geography near you? What are the positive and negative consequences of human environment interaction? How does the environment affect food choice?
