Imperialism

Grade 8

Enduring Understandings

  • Writers use specific techniques to support a viewpoint and persuade an audience.
  • Stronger nations often control weaker societies politically, economically and socially in order to establish and/or maintain their status.
  • Industrialization requires overseas markets and resources to continue growing, and protection of international markets often requires military assistance from the government.
  • Ethnocentrism and nationalism can result in reckless, and sometimes violent, treatment of other people, cultures, and nations.

 

Essential Questions:

  • To what extent were the Boxers misunderstood?
  • What are the positive and negative aspects of power?
  • How is power justified?
  • How does audience and purpose affect the way we communicate?
  • What or whose story is being told?
