During the first week, we took a look at some of the things that make up culture. We started by looking at people we think are heroes, and discussed what makes them heroes. Then we took a look at values and how they make up a person's cultures. We learned some forms of government (republic, dictatorship, theocracy, socialism, communism, monarchy) and forms of economy (capitalism, socialism, communism). We looked at immigration and how it affects various nations. We learned how goods and services affect our daily lives but also the way a nation functions. These are some of the basics of world knowledge students need to use as building blocks as we move forward.
