We are one week away from Spring Break! WOOHOO!
Today we did Olympic Sign-ups.
At 1:18 we began talking about dictators and how "America is one party away from dictatorship." (Ivan Dextre)
At 1:23 we began talking about Hitler and that "Hitler could have been a good guy." (Bryant Nguyen) Strange thought, isn't it? Nowadays, everyone perceives Hitler as an evil dictator, but he merely took advantage of the situation in Germany and used it for his own benefit. Anyone could have done so, even you. Think about that for a moment. Any one of us could end up being like Hitler, Stalin, or Mao.
Hitler's hatred towards Jews possibly started when he wanted to get into art school, and couldn't because there had been a lot of Jews enrolling at the same time. Maybe "Hitler wouldn't have been so bad if he had gotten into art school." (Dylan Han)
At 1:44, we learned about Hitler wanting Poland. We looked at political cartoons, such as one in which Poland was personified as a bird and Hitler was saying he wanted a thin slice of the neck.

Today, we discussed the upcoming P-Ville Olympics. We are going to be sponsoring the Limbo and Water Balloon competitions. Good luck Period 5!!! At 1:17 we found out the winners of the Stalin essay and art competitions. For the essays, "[DOM] got 1st place" (Dania A) and "NeKendra got 4th!" (Kent Hirano).
At 1:30, we talked about the Great Depression and how it was in Germany. It was terrible because it cost "2 billion marks for bread" (Dylan Han). At 1:51 we learned that corporations will be most influenced by bis businesses like McDonald's.

Today we collected our financial sheets before the class started.
At 1:48 we started class by talking about P-Ville. Nida was our pizza owner, Paul was the delivery person and Matt was the farmer. The lesson was on how one change in a business can change the outcome of many individuals lives.
At 2:38 "Mr.P [was] about to fall off the desk" (Kent Hirano) demonstrating how America was about to have a giant financial crisis but noticed just before they did.
At 2:47 we learned that there are "2 types of stock brokers" good ones and bad greedy ones (Minji Seong). At 2:52 we looked at the interview videos for the student teachers that will be coming to our class.

Today we reviewed for the test on the Russian Revolution, which is tomorrow.
At 1:12, we went over control methods. There are many different ways to control people that leave them unaware that they are being controlled. Do you know if you what is controlling you and how it is controlling you? That's certainly something to think about. In Russia, their main newspaper was a method of controlling the public. It claimed to tell the truth but really, it was merely government propaganda.
At 1:24, we started watching the "Twilight Zone" episode, "The Obsolete Man." I took note of some interesting quotes from the episode. The first quote was at 1:31: "Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace." This quote refers to the government controlling what information gets out to the public. The government, known as "The State" in the episode, does not want the public to think logically and figure out the truth that the media hides.
The second quote was at 1:36, spoken by the librarian. "If I speak on thought aloud, that thought remains even after I am shoveled into my grave." This is similar to Napoleon, who believed that history is only what is written. It also relates to what Mr. P. keeps saying about things only happening if they have been written down. That's what the class history is for, to remember everything that happens in P-Ville. We should always write down what happens, so we can look back and remember everything.
