Expansion
By: Delaney Winkler
Overarching Understanding
Sociological, political, and economic expansion is essential in current and past societies.
Sociological, political, and economic expansion is essential in current and past societies because without all of these three types of expansion our society would not grow and change for the better. Expansion impacts our society greatly and without it nothing would change. Sociological expansion is essential because if our society and culture didn't expand then things would never change and our country wouldn't have become what it is today without expanding. Political expansion is essential because sometimes things in our government doesn't work, such as the Articles of Confederation. If that never changed then our country would be a big mess becuase that way of governing didn't work, therefore it had to change and the Constitution had to be created so that our government could work the way it does. Finally, economic expansion is essential because we need things in our economy to change. Like in the Great Depression, if our economy didn't change or expand then the US would be completley different right now. That is why sociolgical, political, and economic expansion is essential in current and past societies.
Essential Question #1
Expansion impacts society because expansion changes many things. When there is expansion people either agree or don't agree. When people don't agree with something then they try and find a way to reform it or change it, which creates conflict between the two parties that disagree. Then the society is changed and divided, some are for and some are against. When the two groups are divided they fight for what they want. This expansion divides people because people have different ideas and opinions and that creates a lot of conflict which impacts society greatly.
Essential Question #2
What do a nation’s policies reveal about their values?
A nation's policies show a lot about their values. Their policies show their goal of what they want the nation to become because their policies are what they think is necessary to get the nation to become what they want. Another thing that their policies reveal about their values is what they think of the people living in their nations and if they believe in equality among all races and religions or if they don't.
Essential Question #3
How might leadership decisions be viewed from different perspectives?
Leadership can be viewed from many different angles. One leader may think that the decision they made was a great decision and it was the right choice, while another person might view this person's decision as a bad and unfair idea that they don't agree with and they think is wrong.
