American History

After a brief review of the last few days (my absence) we will discuss the basics of the Second World War and discuss the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.


Great Issues

Today, we finally had the chance to discuss the class syllabus and what will be done during the course of the semester.  Also, we will discuss results of the online quiz at www.politicalcompass.org.

Finally, we are going to begin to recap the State of the Union address delivered by President Obama Tuesday night.  During the State of the Union Address President Obama said,

"We need to outinnovate, outeducate and outbuild the rest of the world. We have to make America the best place on Earth to do business. We need to take responsibility for our deficit and reform our government. That's how our people will prosper. That's how we'll win the future."

What specific ideas do you have to help the United States economy to prosper?

I believe the United States needs to stop sending jobs overseas. Even though it would not solve every economic problem, it would at least create more jobs for the American people.
