Concept Formation In order to fully understand the material of this unit and to effectively participate in its activities, it is important that you grasp three important concepts: Cause and Effect Social Studies Perspectives Nationalism Definitions Cause: Causes make things happen. They are the factors that result in the occurrence of events. Effect: Effects are the things that result from a particular event. Applying the Concepts Listen to the “Tragic Story of Jack and Jim” following along on your handout Individual Work The “event” that we are focusing on in the story is Jack’s punch. Look back over the story and make a list of all of the causes and all the effects of Jack’s punch. Group Discussion 1 Together, look over the handout’s description of the types of causes From our list of causes of Jack’s punch sort the causes into the following categories: The Main Cause Contributing Causes The Immediate Cause Remote or Background Causes Be prepared to discuss your reasoning with the class Group Discussion 2 Look over the handout’s description of the types of effects From our list of effects of Jack’s punch sort the causes into “immediate effects” and “long term effects” Be prepared explain your reasoning to the class Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies Consider the topic we have just finished studying: Imperialism With your group brainstorm as many causes of imperialism as you can. Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies Following is a list of causes of imperialism we might have brainstormed: Social Darwinism/European “Superiority” Competition among European nations The Industrial Revolution The availability of resources African disunity and weakness With your group sort the causes above into the following categories: the trigger (immediate cause), the main cause, contributing causes, background causes Sample Analysis – Causes of Imperialism Trigger/Immediate Cause : the availability of resources Main Cause: Industrial Revolution Contributing Causes: African disunity and weakness, Social Darwinism/Europe’s feelings of superiority Background Causes: European competition Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies With your group brainstorm as many effects of imperialism as you can Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies Following is a list of effects of imperialism we might have brainstormed: Increase in European wealth African poverty Slavery/forced labor Destruction of African culture Destruction of African land Turmoil in independent African nations With your group sort the effects above into immediate effects and long term effects Sample Analysis – Effects of Imperialism Immediate Effects: Slavery/forced labor Destruction of African land and culture European wealth Long term effects: African poverty Turmoil in independent African nations Applying the Concepts to War As a group brainstorm and write down as many causes of war as you can Sort your list into three groups: immediate causes, contributing causes, and remote/background causes Now discuss and develop and answer to the following questions: Is there such a thing as a “just war”? If so, which of the causes you identified might result in a just war? Be prepared to explain your answer. Applying the Concepts to War cont. As a group brainstorm and write down as many effects of war as you can Sort your list into two groups: short term/immediate effects and long term effects Social Studies Perspectives With your group develop a definition for each of the following terms: Geography Economics Politics Culture Sociology Psychology Then discuss what you think it means to look at an event from the perspective of each of the above terms Social Studies Perspectives Geographic: Looking at an event from a geographical perspective asks how ideas of place, region, human-environmental interaction, location and movement affected the event. Political: Looking at an event from a political perspective asks how a society’s leaders, the ways leaders are chosen, the society’s laws, and the ways those laws are made affected the event. Economic: Looking at an event from an economic perspective asks how a society’s needs and the way they attempt to satisfy those needs affected the event. Cultural: Looking at an event looking at an event from a cultural perspective asks how a group’s collective knowledge, experience, beliefs, attitudes and/or customs affected the event. Sociological: Looking at an event from a sociological perspective asks how a society’s structures, social institutions, social relationships, and collective behaviors affect the event. Psychological: Looking at an event from a psychological perspective asks how the mental processes and resulting behaviors of individuals did and/or groups in a society affect the event. Categorizing Causes into Social Studies Perspectives – Past Studies Here is the list of the causes of imperialism we developed earlier: Social Darwinism/European “Superiority” Competition among European nations The Industrial Revolution The availability of resources African disunity and weakness With your group link each cause to the appropriate social studies perspective (a cause might fit into more than one) Sample Analysis – Social Studies Perspectives Geographic Political Economic Cultural Socio. Psych Resources European competition African weakness Social Darwinism Social Darwinism Social Darwinism African disunity Resources/ Industrial Revolution African Industrial weakness Revolution and disunity Resources Competition Industrial Revolution Competition Applying the Concepts to War cont. As a group take our list of causes of war and link each cause to the appropriate social studies perspective (a cause might fit into more than one) Defining Nationalism Individually read the handout which contains four examples of nationalism As a group discuss what the four examples have in common Using the commonalities you found try to develop a definition of nationalism - your definition should include four critical attributes (things that have to exist for nationalism to be present) Nationalism – Critical Attributes 1. 2. 3. 4. When a group of people have the following behaviors, they are exhibiting Nationalism: Loyalty and devotion to a nation A sense of national consciousness A feeling that one’s nation is superior to or has a higher purpose than other nations A feeling that one’s identity as a member of a nation is more important than membership in some “supranational” group (such as a religious, cultural, or political group or movement Nationalism Group Activity Discuss the questions on the worksheet your group has been given and record your answers on the worksheet. Be prepared to discuss your answers with the entire class.
