Capitalisms- an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.Communism- is an economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members. Under communism by its very nature, because of authoritarian government control, socialism automatically becomes a byproduct of this system.Socialism- is any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods can be privately or collectively owned or dictated by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. Although socialism does not always co-exist with only communist or fascist governments, the implementation of socialism in many countries requires that a strong central government generally impose this philosophy on the people.Fascism- differs from communism in that ownership of the means of production is left in the hands of private industry but all industry and business activity is heavily regulated by a strong national government. Therefore, socialistic objectives are achieved by the police power of the state. Fascist Germany and Italy both operated in this manner. Fascism can also be defined as a government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, and suppression of any opposition through terror and censorship. Fascist governments are generally characterized by belligerent nationalism.Dictatorship- is a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition from the people). Saddam Hussein is a prime example of a dictatorship wherein he controlled every aspect of Iraqi life without the people having any say in the running of the country. Any criticism, no matter how insignificant, was dealt with by torture and/or death.Democracy- is the government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.Republic- is slightly different from a democracy and is a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governed according to law.Anarchy- is the absence of government; the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness; political confusion.2. Students will understand the differences between the major political parties in the United States.3. Students will understand the causes and effects of global warming-Almost 100% of the observed temperature increase over the last 50 years has been due to the increase in the atmosphere of greenhouse gas concentrations like water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and ozone. Greenhouse gases are those gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect (see below). The largest contributing source of greenhouse gas is the burning of fossil fuels leading to the emission of carbon dioxide4. Students will understand the causes and effects of overpopulation.5.
