Progressivism - is about solving problems, and it's the antithesis of elitism and concentrated power. That means it's about civic participation. It's not so much an ideology as an approach to politics. Theodore Roosevelt was an example if someone who followed these beliefs.
Brinksmanship- Allows people to put people into dangerous situations in order to get the results you want.
Command Economies- in this economy supply and prices are determined by the government instead of the market. This is another name for a centrally planned economy the best example of this is the Soviet Union of Russia.
McCarthyism- Is when you use fear and harassment to pressure people into following your political beliefs.

Quizzes

 On the pracitce diploma quizzes i received a 64 and a 77. On the first quiz i struggled with understanding the difference between clasasical and modern liberlism. I got help from you and went backed into my notes and figured out the differences in the ideologies between the two liberlisms. When the next quiz came along i had a better understanding and it showed in the next quiz and my mark improved. The only problem I have now is anaylizing the sources that will be presented on the social diploma. I will prepare for the diploma by mostly focusing on source analyisis question because that is where im strugging the most. I will use my old quizzes to help me becasue i went back and wrote notes and the correct answer beside all the questions I struggled with on those quizzez.

Diploma Writing

Source Comparisson 1
Source Comparisson 2
 On the first diploma source in October I received an 87 and on the last one we just wrote I got a 57. I should have improved throughout the year but I did just the opposite. When I looked back and compared the two assignments I could see the understanding of the sources in both but in the first one I could take my understanding and expand it. In my last source assignment I did not put the effort and my knowledge into this assignment and that was reflected in my mark. To improve on the diploma I will have to understand all the ideologies we have studied and really find some evidence that connects and that it connects properly for what I am trying to say and connect to the sources presented.

Position Paper
Position Paper 2

My first position paper I wrote I had trouble understanding the source. The evidence I was using to support my idea was not supported correctly making my position confusing. The paper in a whole was kind of all over the map and did not make as much sense when I look at it now compared to when I wrote it. My second position paper I took more time understanding the source and I believe I used evidence to support it more effectively. I feel like I did a much better job the second time and I believe I will be more prepared and be able to analyze the sources on the diploma much better than before.
