In 1997–98, the South Korean economy faced its greatest difficulty during the financial crisis that swept through Asia. Through tough restructuring and a renewed focus on high technology, it overcame the crisis and has developed into a much more complex economy. Today, South Korea exports not only goods, but also its popular culture in the form of movies, songs, dramas, and other cultural products. As the country has continued to evolve, so too have the economic challenges it faces. Major present-day challenges include rising income inequality, the economic impact of an aging society, and contentious discussions about the economic implications of possible reunification with North Korea. As such, the story of South Korea’s economy is a fascinating tale of the promises and risks of capitalism in modern economic development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esets the context for the rest of the unit and prepares students for subsequent lessons by providing them with basic background information on two major topics: Korea and development.

It was a remarkable event. Not only was it the first Japanese vessel to make a Pacific crossing, but many Japanese had gotten their first glimpse of a steamship only seven years earlier.

They had come to ratify a treaty negotiated two years earlier by Townsend Harris, the first American diplomat in Japan, to open trade and diplomatic relations with the United States. After more than two centuries of limited contact with the outside world, Commodore Perry's gunboats, then Harris's persuasive arguments, had persuaded the shogun's officials that the time had come to open up the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Tokugawa shogun was overthrown by a revolution in 1868, a new imperial government, determined to build up the country's national wealth and strength, accelerated pursuit of \"new knowledge\" from the West.

In Japan, they are largely revered for their selfless sacrifice. Yet few outside Japan know that hundreds of Kamikaze pilots survived the war. By the spring of 1945, when all Japanese planes were reassigned to Kamikaze attacks, Japan could no longer defend its airspace and its naval fleet was demolished. Old airplanes and inadequate training resulted in many failed Kamikaze missions. When Japan surrendered, hundreds of Kamikaze trainees were awaiting sortie orders that never arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough rare interviews with surviving Kamikaze pilots, we learn that the military demanded pilots to volunteer to give up their lives. Retracing their journeys from teenagers to doomed pilots, a complex history of brutal training and ambivalent sacrifice is revealed. As U.S. firebombs incinerated Japan’s major cities and the country ran out of weapons and fuel, Japan’s military government refused to accept the reality that it could no longer fight. Instead, thousands of pilots were sent off to targets nearly impossible to reach. Sixty years later, survivors in their eighties tell us about their training, their mindsets, and their experiences in a Kamikaze cockpit, as well as what it means to survive when thousands of their fellow pilots died. Their stories insist that we set aside our preconceptions to relive their all too human experiences with them. Ultimately, they help us consider what responsibilities a government at war has to its soldiers and to its people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the production of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWings of Defeat\u003c\/em\u003e, two American survivors of the USS Drexler, which was sunk by Kamikaze attacks, asked filmmakers Risa Morimoto and Linda Hoaglund if they could meet former Kamikaze.

Approximately 80 percent of the deaths in these bombings were the result of burns or other injuries caused by the blasts. However, 20 percent of the fatalities were the result of radiation sickness. While the majority of deaths took place at the time of the bombings or by the end of 1945, atomic bomb survivors continued to die from atomic bomb related injuries or illnesses for decades afterward. Since World War II, nine countries have developed and detonated nuclear weapons. In that time, the use of nuclear power has also expanded beyond a military focus. Today, nuclear power is used for civilian purposes such as generating electricity. Accidents in nuclear power plants have shown that nuclear power is not without risk. Such accidents can release radiation, which can have harmful consequences on human health, the environment, and the society as a whole. As in the cases of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors, victims of nuclear accidents can be exposed to a substantial dose of radiation that can result in leukemia and other forms of cancer, or other negative side effects. The 1986 Chernobyl accident in modern day Ukraine was the worst nuclear disaster in history. It is estimated that nearly 4,000 people will eventually die from exposure to radiation released by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExamining Long-Term Radiation Effects: Case Studies of the Atomic Bombings of Japan and the Chernobyl Power Plant Thermal Explosion\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eexplores issues pertaining to nuclear power and the long-term medical, psychological, and social effects of radiation.

The country remained in political, economic, and social turmoil despite the presence of an entirely new governing structure. Sun Yatsen’s best efforts to carry out his visionary plan for a republican style of government were repeatedly thwarted by President Yuan Shikai and his own dictatorial quest for power. But even Yuan’s death in 1916 did little to improve the situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world continued to change and evolve in ways that directly impacted China’s welfare and future. World War I, the continued bullying by Western powers, and Japan’s increased aggression further encroached upon China’s sovereignty and fueled feelings of nationalism. Meanwhile, some Chinese intellectuals saw hope for China in the Bolsheviks’ success in the Russian Revolution. China’s dismal circumstances fomented an intellectual revolution in China that spawned two new political groups—the Nationalist Party (Guomindang) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—whose rivalry would shape and dominate most of the Republican Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Chiang Kaishek unified China and proclaimed the establishment of the Nationalist government in 1927, the change brought neither peace nor harmony. In fact, for the next two decades the Guomindang government would never achieve much peace or harmony in China. As Chiang struggled to rebuild China, Mao Zedong rose to power and orchestrated a revolution, Japan invaded, China was drawn into World War II, and the communists eventually prevailed and led China

The dynastic years were a time of repeated fragmentation and reunification, with frequent wars followed by periods of peace that sometimes lasted for centuries. As each dynasty came to power, it strove to expand and maintain its power over a vast territory of diverse lands and peoples until it ultimately failed and another dynasty took power. Despite constant political turmoil and frequent wars, Chinese culture and civilization flourished and took shape during the dynastic years. Each dynasty left behind a unique legacy, whether in the form of cultural and artistic achievements; new takes on centuries-old religions and philosophies; or innovative ideas about government, society, military strategy, and the economy.

Its economic reforms of 1978 allowed large amounts of capital to flow within the country, spurring the economy into a period of breakneck growth. Tens of millions of rural Chinese have been drawn into China's cities looking for work, and countless businesses—foreign and domestic—have sprung up in China, each eager to grab a piece of China's 1.3 billion-strong customer base: the world's largest. It is an exciting time. In a country where people starved from widespread poverty only 50 years ago, business is booming like never before. More and more people are living longer, more comfortable lives, and are finally able to afford luxuries like air conditioners, refrigerators, mobile phones, and cars. For them, China's rapid rise is a dream come true—a transition to a modern country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut not everyone is happy. To make room for development, citizens have been evicted from their homes and forcibly relocated. Lax environmental practices have spawned 16 of the world's 20 most polluted cities. The income gap between rural and urban China has widened. Northern China's deserts are expanding and Beijing's water tables have dropped. More people are suffering from diseases related to air pollution, water pollution, and fatty diets.

A major exporter of oil, natural gas, and other natural resources, it occupies a prominent place in the global economy. These resources have given the region great potential for wealth. Yet most Central Asians remain among the poorest people in the world, and their societies confront some of the most serious political, economic, environmental, and social challenges on the planet. How do we explain this paradox?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit explores the extraordinary range of challenges facing contemporary Central Asia. At the same time, the lessons suggest how students might think about how these difficulties originated in the past, and encourage them to reflect on what might be done to solve them now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis curriculum is based on the premise that political choices lie at the root of the region's challenges. The study of Central Asia is particularly complex because the politics of the region intersect with more powerful states. Many of the political choices that have most affected the lives of Central Asians have been made elsewhere. Between the 1820s and the 1880s, the Russian empire conquered and incorporated the territory now occupied by Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. When this empire collapsed in 1917, a new one replaced it. The Soviet Union ruled this area until 1991, when these republics emerged as independent states. These two states laid the foundations of the political and economic institutions that exist in the region today. Despite independence, foreign powers continue to shape the Central Asian states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCentral Asia: Between Peril and Promise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edemonstrates how creative solutions might help solve many of the problems in Central Asia, and the vast potential of the region and its diverse peoples might be still be realized.

it. To understand this notion, how it evolved, and why it has endured for thousands of years, is to understand the very essence of Chinese civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 3,500 years, China was ruled by a succession of kings, emperors, and their respective dynasties. The dynastic years were a time of repeated fragmentation and reunification, with frequent wars followed by periods of peace that sometimes lasted for centuries. As each dynasty came to power, it strove to expand and maintain its power over a vast territory of diverse lands and peoples until it ultimately failed and another dynasty took power. Despite constant political turmoil and frequent wars, Chinese culture and civilization flourished and took shape during the dynastic years. Each dynasty left behind a unique legacy, whether in the form of cultural and artistic achievements; new religions and philosophies; or innovative ideas about government, society, military strategy, and economy. Together, they form the foundations of Chinese civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis curriculum unit introduces students to the first 2,500 years of Chinese history and offers students an in-depth view of Chinese civilization from the nascent years of the Shang Dynasty through the golden age of the Tang Dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the important events, people, and achievements of the Shang Dynasty, (1600–1050 BCE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the important ideas and philosophies of the Zhou Dynasty (1050\u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e256 BCE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the accomplishments of the Qin Dynasty (221\u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e206 BCE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the significant events, people, ideas, and achievements of the Han Dynasty (202 BCE–220 CE) .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the events, social issues, and religions of the Six Dynasties (220–581 CE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Six\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the Sui and Tang Dynasties (581–907 CE).

Students also explore big-picture questions of justice, reconciliation, and peace, and consider alternative methods of promoting social reconstruction after large-scale community violence. Finally, this lesson introduces students to two modern controversies of international law, and asks students to examine these controversies through a consideration of everything they have learned in

Buddhism is frequently mentioned in the news and media, whether in politics (Dalai Lama and Tibet), community (a new Buddhist meditation center in the neighborhood), travel (getaways to Southeast Asia), or the arts (the calm Zen interiors). Buddhism has shaped the government, culture, and society of different Asian countries for centuries. Understanding Buddhism then, can be a conduit to understanding Asia, as well as the large Buddhist communities that live outside of Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Introduction to Japanese Buddhist Art\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to expressions of Buddhism in art in the Japanese context. Lessons on art history, Buddhism, religious institutions, and curatorial practices encourage students, with examples of Buddhist art, to see objects in more ways than one and to realize that looking at and displaying these objects can shape our understanding of the world in significant ways. Students also learn about Buddhism's basic tenets and practices, and develop an appreciation for Buddhist cultural achievements by studying images of Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting the Context Activity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces Japanese Buddhism through the daruma doll. In this activity, students develop object literacy skills by observing, interpreting, and generating hypotheses about Japanese religion and society. Students describe the doll in note-taking form, then listen to bits of information about the doll's make-up and meaning. Over the course of the activity, students make guesses about the purpose of the doll and its religious and secular significance in Japanese society and compare daruma dolls with their own beliefs and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003easks students to think about the meaning of art history and discusses the relevance of art history to their lives.

During the lesson, students analyze two Japanese Buddhist paintings, the Sonshô Mandala and the Shukuzu Fragment, and discuss the use of visual elements in the artwork. An optional activity provides an opportunity for students to analyze print advertisements using their knowledge about visual art elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egives a brief overview of the history of Buddhism and introduces students to its founder, Shakyamuni Buddha.

Students also discover four important schools of Buddhism that developed in Japan and read about how the ancient Japanese Shinto religion and Buddhism coexist in Japan. Through a series of images, students have a chance to examine paintings of the life of the Buddha and to analyze the use of visual elements in the paintings. In an optional activity, students research the four schools of Buddhism presented in this unit and create a poster and class presentation on their research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces the idea of symbolism in visual artwork.

Optional activities for this lesson include making a collage of symbols from the students' own lives and researching and analyzing other Buddhist works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Buddhist temples and the symbolism of their layout. Students also learn about the symbolism of objects commonly found in Buddhist temples. They view a series of temple images and work in small groups to create a narrative description of the images to be viewed as a student-narrated slideshow. Students also view and discuss a series of images of Buddhist temple gardens. Optional activities include researching and creating a model of a Zen garden and describing the symbolism in each aspect of the garden, and visiting a local Buddhist temple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosing Activity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehighlights the roles and responsibilities of museum curators.

in-depth look at the unique status of Taiwan among nations of the world. Although Taiwan has control over its internal affairs (domestic sovereignty) and is able to keep outsiders from operating within its borders or influencing internal decisions (Westphalian sovereignty), the island does not have international legal sovereignty, which would confirm its status as an independent country. Despite lacking the advantages of having international legal sovereignty—including the ability to negotiate trade agreements and treaties, among others—Taiwan has evolved into an economic powerhouse and has successfully developed and maintained international relations with many independent countries. Taiwan's success in international relations raises the unit's key question: Does Taiwan need international legal sovereignty to successfully exist?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second question, Who exercises sovereignty over Taiwan?, is also central to this unit. During its early history, Taiwan was a tributary state of China, paying taxes to the various dynasty governments. Domestic sovereignty over different parts of the island was exercised mainly by local families and aboriginal groups until the late 19th century. The western concepts of Westphalian and international legal sovereignty only became important in 1895 when the Japanese took control over Taiwan as a condition of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and was recognized internationally as exercising sovereignty over the island. At the end of World War II, control over Taiwan shifted to mainland China, then controlled by Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. Enmeshed in a civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists for control of China, Chiang's government mostly ignored Taiwan until 1949, when the Communists won control of the mainland. That year, Chiang's Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government-in-exile. Despite lacking domestic and Westphalian sovereignty over mainland China, Chiang's government, the Republic of China (ROC), was recognized internationally as the official government of all China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1949 to 1971, the ROC held the China seat in the United Nations and participated fully in international organizations. The Communist People's Republic of China (PRC) was marginalized, but over the next two decades, gained enough support to force a vote at the United Nations to take over the China seat. The ROC had received the powerful support of the United States, but a thawing relationship between the United States and the PRC led to a shift in U.S. policy towards the PRC and the ROC. By 1971, many countries, including the United States, no longer viewed the ROC as the official government of all China, and a vote taken in October 1971 gave the China seat in the United Nations to the PRC. The ROC lost international legal sovereignty over the mainland, and over time was \"derecognized\" by all but 29 of the world's countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question of who exercises international legal sovereignty over the island of Taiwan remains. The current government of the PRC considers Taiwan a renegade province and seeks to reunite the island with the mainland at the earliest possible date. Taiwan, which views itself as an independent country, has not formally declared itself independent of China, but has existed as such for most of its history. As a result, tensions run high between Taiwan and the PRC, and the question of who has sovereignty has led to battles of words on both sides, and threats of force by the PRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a case study of sovereignty, Taiwan provides an interesting and unique case. Because it lacks the formal recognition of independent countries, Taiwan has developed an alternative system of international relations that helps the island maintain formal and legal relationships with other countries. And, because it has been so successful at developing and maintaining such relationships, Taiwan's situation raises the question: Does Taiwan need international legal sovereignty to thrive, or, as an economic powerhouse of Asia with a high standard and living and a well-educated population, can Taiwan exist successfully without formal international recognition?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson One,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Concept of Sovereignty,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces the concept of sovereignty and the importance of sovereignty for nations. It is also the basis for understanding Taiwan's unique status among countries of the world. To begin the lesson, students are introduced to a definition of sovereignty from Webster's Dictionary, and to a second, more detailed definition put forth by Stanford University professor Stephen Krasner. Students then watch a short lecture by Professor Krasner and discuss types of sovereignty, the importance and benefits of sovereignty, and the relationship of sovereignty to the other key concepts in this unit. On the second day, students work in small groups to examine the three types of sovereignty defined in the lecture and list advantages of each type. Each group will make a brief presentation about the advantages of each type of sovereignty to the class. At the end of the lesson, students read a handout with a brief introduction to Taiwan and examine a map of Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Two,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePre-History to World War II,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etraces Taiwanese history from its earliest settlement to the end of World War II, looking at the role that colonialism played in creating modern Taiwan, and examining Taiwan's status as a colony and a province. To begin the lesson, students read an overview of the period's history and compare the rule of the Dutch, Chinese, and Japanese. Students then examine the sovereign status of Taiwan throughout its history and chart the changes in sovereignty. Students read a biography of the Taiwanese national hero, Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga), and an article from the \u003cem\u003eFar Eastern Economic Review\u003c\/em\u003e that asks the question: Whose Hero is Zheng Chenggong—China's or Taiwan's? To conclude the lesson, students discuss the article with particular attention to the way that Zheng is used to reinforce Taiwanese nationalism and to the way that China emphasizes Zheng's role in freeing Taiwan from Dutch rule and returning it to Chinese control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Three,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTaiwan Between 1945 and 1971,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexamines the Nationalist government or Kuomintang (KMT) on Taiwan in light of challenges to both its domestic and international legal sovereignty. On the first two days of the lesson, students discuss issues related to domestic sovereignty through studying the relationship of the KMT with the Taiwanese people during the four years between the conclusion of World War II in 1945 and the victory of the Chinese Communists in 1949. During these years, the welfare of Taiwan was put on the back burner while the Nationalists focused on the civil war on the mainland. Taiwanese discontent, however, could no longer be ignored when public response to the police beating of a widow selling contraband cigarettes erupted into widespread protests and rioting now known as the \"February 28th Incident\" or \"2-28 Incident.\" Students work in small groups to prepare skits to teach each other about this period. On the third day of the lesson, students discuss issues related to international legal sovereignty and the \"One China\" policy. Despite the Communist victory in 1949, through the support of the United States, the KMT was able to gain recognized control of Taiwan as well as the right to represent China in the United Nations. Thus, even though the Communists enjoyed domestic sovereignty on the mainland, they lost Taiwan and lacked international recognition from the non-Communist world. Although they were able to take the United Nations China seat away from Taiwan in 1971, their quest to reunite Taiwan with the mainland has still not been realized. On the final day of the lesson, students analyze a series of Chinese propaganda posters on the themes of \"liberating\" and \"reuniting\" Taiwan. They will then prepare their own posters from the perspective of the Taiwanese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Four,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTaiwan's Modern History from 1971 to 2000,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexamines the three decades during which Taiwan made a transition from an authoritarian government-in-exile to a de facto independent nation lacking international legal sovereignty. Students learn about the forces that contributed to political change in Taiwan, are introduced to Dr. Robert Madsen's concept of an alternative system of international relations, and debate the question: Does Taiwan need international legal sovereignty? Students begin the lesson by reading a brief history of the period and answering questions. A class discussion will revolve around political change in Taiwan. Students then have an opportunity to explore the strategies Taiwan used in achieving an alternative system of international relations by reading and preparing group presentations on the Taiwan Relations Act and news articles about Taiwan. Finally, students debate whether or not Taiwan needs international legal sovereignty to continue to exist as a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Five,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePresident Chen Shui-bian and Cross-strait Relations,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexamines the most recent period of Taiwanese history, emphasizing the struggle of Taiwan in maintaining an international presence, Taiwan–U.S. relations, and the claims to sovereignty made by Taiwan and China. On the first day, students view and discuss two official flags of Taiwan and a flag voted to represent a \"new\" Taiwan. Students then read an article about the tiny country of Kiribati, which flies both the ROC and PRC flags, and discuss the political implications of those actions. On the second day, students share timelines and information about Taiwan–U.S. relations since 1971, and discuss the role of the United States in Taiwan's political history. On the third day, students examine and debate the claims that Taiwan and China have to the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the five lessons in this curriculum unit has specific learning objectives listed.

In this lesson, students view a lecture on Lenin by Norman M. Naimark, Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor of Eastern European History, Stanford University and Senior Fellow, Stanford Institute for International Studies (SIIS). Then students complete a collaborative timeline activity designed to give them a better grasp of the sequence of events that led to the downfall of the Imperial Russian regime and the rise of the Bolshevik revolutionaries. The bulk of the lesson, however, is devoted to the analysis of primary source materials, both written and visual. Students read and analyze excerpts from Lenin's political speeches and writings to better understand his motivations and intended goals. They also examine the iconography of the revolution by looking at political posters from the early years of the Soviet Union. By studying the visual images associated with the establishment of Bolshevik authority, students come to a better understanding of how the new regime justified its rise to power over the ruins of the Imperial autocracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eencourages students to take a closer look at the life, career, and legacy of Iosif (Joseph) Stalin, one of the most infamous political leaders of the 20th century. In this lesson, students view a lecture on Stalin by David J. Holloway, Professor of History and Political Science, Stanford University and Senior Fellow, SIIS. The bulk of the lesson is devoted to the analysis of primary source materials, both written and visual. Students examine Stalin's reasons for launching the industrialization campaign. They also consider how the ruthlessly implemented policy of collectivization affected the party members who were expected to carry it out. An inside look at Stalin's relationship with other top Communist Party officials provides students with a sense of how political decisions were made in Stalin's Soviet Union as well as the difficulties of using memoirs as historical sources. Finally, students examine a collection of political posters in order to acquire a better understanding of how Stalin's cult of personality became part of the Communist iconography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Communist Party from 1953 to 1964 and premier of the Soviet Union from 1958 to 1964. In this lesson, students view a lecture on Khrushchev by Amir Weiner, Associate Professor of History, Stanford University. Through the lecture, content handout, and excerpts of Khrushchev's famous \"Secret Speech,\" students learn about Khrushchev's strengths, weaknesses, and goals as a leader. They also become familiar with key historic events that occurred during the Khrushchev era, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the building of the Berlin Wall. In the main activity of this lesson, students work in small groups to analyze selected excerpts of Khrushchev's speech and evaluate its impact on various interest groups. Students also discuss Khrushchev's legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union before it dissolved in 1991.

In this lesson, students view a lecture on Yeltsin by Gail Lapidus, Professor of Political Science, Stanford University and Senior Fellow, SIIS. Students assess the legacy of Yeltsin by debating whether the direction Yeltsin took Russia in the 1990s was beneficial to the country. In preparing for and engaging in the debate, students identify Yeltsin's accomplishments and weaknesses and examine the profound changes that Russia experienced during the Yeltsin years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLesson Six\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Vladimir Putin, who assumed the presidency of Russia on the first day of 2000, charged with leading a weakened Russia into the new millennium. A relative unknown when he entered the presidency, Putin has turned out to be a strong, forceful president who has put into motion profound changes in Russia and earned widespread domestic popularity. In this lesson, students view a lecture on Putin by Michael A. McFaul, Associate Professor of Political Science, Stanford University and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution. Using information from the lecture and five provided sources, students then compose a newspaper article analyzing the impact of Putin's policies on the Russian public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lessons in this curriculum have specific learning objectives listed.

As they examine case studies from the recent past and grapple with policy options, students will form their own opinions about the value of intervening in humanitarian crises. Beyond learning about humanitarian intervention, students will also become more aware of the plight of war-torn nations, from which many refugees have sought asylum in the United States. Some of them may even be their own classmates and peers. Furthermore, the skills students hone in evaluating ethical dilemmas and policy trade-offs will be useful to them as future voters in a democratic state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esets the context for the unit by introducing students to the challenges policymakers and analysts must face when confronted with a humanitarian crisis in a sovereign state.

Islamic civilization through a humanities approach. Lessons on art, the mosque, Arabic language and calligraphy, poetry, and music provide students with experience analyzing myriad primary source materials, such as images, audio clips, and sayings of Muhammad, excerpts from the Quran. In each lesson, students learn about the history, principles, and culture of Islam as they pertain to particular forms of art. Hands-on activities encourage students to gain an appreciation for Islamic historical and cultural traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Islam\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces students to the religion of Islam and provides a brief historical background of Islamic civilization to prepare them for the subsequent lessons on Islamic arts. In Part One, students are introduced to a definition of Islam and complete a survey identifying their current perceptions of Islam. Students also read several of Muhammads sayings and consider what they reveal about the religion and how they might contradict students' initial perceptions. In Part Two, students complete a pre-test to assess their current knowledge of Islam. Through the use of information tables, students create a visual representation of the countries that make up the Islamic world. They then read an informational handout on Islamic civilization as homework. In Part Three, students participate in a class competition, chronologically arranging significant events related to Islamic civilization. They also view several images portraying the Pillars of Islam. To conclude and debrief the lesson, students complete the perceptions survey again and discuss and compare their current responses with those from the first survey. Finally, students compare and contrast Islam with other civilizations and religions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Role of the Mosque\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces students to the mosque through its history and physical features to help them better understand its significance within Islam. The lesson begins with a general discussion about places of worship. Students learn about Islamic worship and the significance, history, and features of the mosque before comparing Islam with Christianity and Judaism. They deepen their understanding through personal association and connection by visiting a local mosque or taking a virtual tour of a mosque. Students reflect on their experience in a short essay. They then learn about the variation among the physical structure of mosques and how that variation reflects the diversity of cultures in which Muslims live. Students view images of mosques from around the world and complete research and presentations on mosques from various regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIslamic Art\u003c\/i\u003e, is an introductory exploration of Islamic art and architecture. Through studying, analyzing, and comparing and contrasting various works of art, students learn about Islamic spirituality and civilization, and their influences on art in other societies. In Part One, students view 11 images relevant to Islamic art and record their initial impressions. These impressions are collected and revisited at the end of the lesson. Students then learn about basic aspects of Islamic art through an informational handout. They view the initial set of images a second time and discuss each one. In Part Two, students apply what they have learned about Islamic art through viewing a second set of images of both Islamic and non-Islamic art. Using what they have learned through handouts and class discussions, small groups study images, write educated descriptions and analyses of each item, and present their findings to the class. In Part Three, students choose among three art projects to demonstrate what they have learned about Islamic art. In the first project, they reference the Islamic art they have studied and create their own work of art with symbols, motifs, and colors that are of personal significance. In the second project, they take photographs of or sketch objects around their homes or school that remind them of Islamic art and architecture. In the third project, they take photographs of or sketch works of art around their homes or school that reveal information about the civilization in which they live. Students present their projects to the class and, if time allows, to other classes. To debrief this lesson, students revisit the questions from the beginning of the lesson and see how their opinions of Islamic art may or may not have changed. They also discuss what art can reveal about a society and its values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eArabic Language and Calligraphy\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces students to Arabic, one of the most widely used languages in the world. By engaging in a range of activities, they will learn about the significance of the Arabic language, particularly its written form, in Islamic history, traditions, and culture. In Part One, students read an informational handout on the Arabic language for homework and answer discussion questions. Then, students engage in a map activity that shows how Arabic has spread throughout the Middle East and beyond. Once students understand the language's prevalence in the world, they learn about the influence Arabic has had on different languages through an activity that focuses on Arabic loanwords used in English. In Part Two, students read and discuss a handout on Arabic script and calligraphy. Upon sharing answers to the handout questions, they view a slide show of art objects that utilize Arabic calligraphy. Applying what they have learned through handouts and class discussions, students document their thoughts on each item presented. In Part Three, students study excerpts from the Quran in two ways. First, they view Quranic pages that have been written in different calligraphy styles in different time periods and places. In groups, they discuss the similarities and differences among these images. Second, they analyze selected text from the Quran and draw connections to Islamic beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIslamic Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, provides students with the opportunity to gain more knowledge and understanding of Islam through the medium of poetry. In Part One of this lesson, students read and analyze poetry written by poets from around the world and try to determine which is an Islamic poem. They also brainstorm a list of their inferences and conceptions about Islamic poetry. In Part Two, students are introduced to Islamic poetry through an informational handout. Through an analysis of several poems, students consider what poetry reveals about Islamic spirituality. They interpret poems written by some of the most famous and revered Islamic poets throughout the history of Islam. In Part Three, students read Islamic poetry independently and select their favorites to include in an anthology project. Students also compose their own poems expressing what they have learned about Islam. In addition, they write commentaries on each of the poems included in their anthologies. To conclude the lesson, students reflect on what they have learned and compare their initial conceptions in Part One with the knowledge that they acquire by the end of the lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Six\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIslamic Music\u003c\/i\u003e, students learn to appreciate Islamic music. By listening to and comparing and contrasting music and musical instruments across the Islamic world, students draw conclusions about how Islamic music has influenced and been influenced by various cultures. In Part One, students listen to a clip of the Muslim call to prayer. They then consider the importance of music in society in general. Through an informational handout and class discussion, students become familiar with the history, role, and characteristics of music in the Islamic world. In Part Two, students are introduced to musical instruments common in Muslim countries and listen to audio clips of each instrument's sound. They explore various types of religious music by reading an informational handout and listening to audio clips of religious and devotional songs. In Part Three, to conclude the lesson and emphasize the diversity and unity of music in the Muslim world, students research and present group work on regional music. They demonstrate their understanding through a writing assignment comparing and contrasting regional music of the Islamic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-entity-field pane-node-field-file-attachments spice-book-info-download\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-file-attachments field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"file\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fsi-live.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/s3fs-public\/catalog\/20450\/Islamic_Civilization.pdf\/Islamic_Civilization.pdf\" class=\"download-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDownload Table of Contents\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stanford SPICE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2183029194761,"sku":"","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/4340\/0713\/products\/Islamic_Civilization_and_the_Arts_cover.jpg?v=1521758971"},{"product_id":"regional-wars-and-the-peace-process","title":"Regional Wars and the Peace Process","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eComprehensive Unit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e132 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrade Level: High School – Community College\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished 2004\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-node-body clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\" property=\"content:encoded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegional and civil wars have been a feature of the world order since human societies developed the capacity to organize combatants to wage war. The implications of these wars for political, economic, and social development have changed dramatically with the emergence of new military technologies that permit greater and farther-reaching damage. The rapid emergence of these new technologies in the 19th century ushered in new forces that facilitated the circulation of weapons and the capacities to wage and sustain regional wars. With further advances in warfare technologies, the potential for regional and civil conflicts to evolve into global ones has dramatically increased and has made the need for conflict resolution ever more pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end of World War II led to the decline of colonialism and the realignment of the world in the context of Cold War rivalries. While the Cold War exacerbated regional wars, it did not necessarily cause them. Regional wars typically grow out of local and regional grievances and conflicts. However, given the continued easy access to weapons, both small arms as well as weapons of mass destruction, regional wars increasingly have global implications. Failures to resolve these local conflicts before they evolve into regional wars can potentially have devastating effects. This reality makes regional and civil wars an international security concern more than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitizens of the United States have typically lived with a false sense of security, feeling safe because most of the world's conflicts are occurring on continents far away. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States underscored the fallacy of this assumption. The attacks now serve as a reminder of how the concept of security is changing in light of globalizing forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRegional Wars and the Peace Process\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the complex topics of regional wars, globalization, and the peace process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehelps set the context for the unit by introducing students to these topics.

Second, it introduces, or reviews, fundamental geographical concepts and vocabulary in a European context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a world so shrunken in time and distance that we can communicate almost instantly with any other city on any other continent and fly to even more corners of the world in a matter of hours, a knowledge of different places can no longer be considered a luxury. Instead, it has become a necessity. Our interdependence is now so complete that actions—be they economic, political, social, or environmental—in one world region can have immediate repercussions in another world region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past 15 years, revolutionary and evolutionary processes have profoundly altered the shape of both Eastern and Western Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of communism throughout Eastern Europe released a momentum for radical change on a scale not seen in Europe for nearly 50 years. More recently, the intensifying pace of European integration has changed the map of Europe. The creation of the Euro Zone in January 2002 represented a new form of economic unity. In 2004, 10 new Eastern European nations joined the European Union. The Europe of the past 45 years has largely disappeared; old frontiers have reemerged from the dustbin of history, and well-established national borders are under threat as populations seek to regroup themselves along ethnic lines. Even as the latest round of border alignments settle, it would be premature to conclude that the map of Europe has attained its final, definitive shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo teach students key geographical terms that are important for communicating geographical ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo introduce and reinforce students' knowledge of the physical and political geography of Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo help students understand the concept of boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo teach students the interaction of climate, landform, and natural vegetation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo improve students' understanding of location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo develop and practice chart and map reading skills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo provide opportunities for group work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTime and suggested sequence of events\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the unit's six lessons can be integrated into your curriculum where it best suits your needs.

This unit challenges students to examine this notion of homogeneity of Asian countries and also offers students a chance to examine the experiences and challenges of another country's ethnic groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn today's world of diverse cultures and increasing interdependence, it is important and relevant for all students to study issues regarding identity and culture and how and why they are relevant. However, these sensitive issues are often very difficult to address. Through studying about ethnic minority groups in China, students can apply what they have learned about another country's experiences and challenges to studies of their own society and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to learning about the variety of conflicts that surround being a minority in China, students will learn about the geographic distribution, history, language, and culture of various ethnic minority groups in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four minority groups chosen for this unit are the Hui, Tibetans, Mongols, and Miao. The case of the Hui illustrates what it means to have a created identity and group consciousness centering around their religion, but not exclusively so. The lesson on the Tibetans centers on their struggle for sovereignty. Mongols, including dwindling numbers of pastoralists, large numbers of farmers, and some city-dwellers, face issues of assimilation and a changing identity. To the southwest, the Miao deal with issues of representation and stereotyping. While these minority groups are very different from each other, they do share the common experience of living as minorities in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esets the context for the entire unit by familiarizing students with ethnic minority issues on a general level, starting with notions of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One of this lesson challenges students to reflect on their own sense of identity and to think about what defines them both as individuals and as members of particular groups. Students learn to make connections between the ways in which they think about their own identities and how these identities provide them with a feeling of belonging. Students also explore additional criteria used in categorizing themselves and others. Part Two assesses students' current perceptions of Chinese society. Later, after students have completed the entire curriculum unit, they will be asked to reassess their ideas. Students also engage in a \"classification\" activity in which they receive a photograph of a person in China and explore criteria used to classify minority groups in China. Part Three equips students with more detailed information regarding minority groups in China. As part of an optional activity, images pertaining to China's ethnic minorities are analyzed and discussed for their significance. Students debrief this lesson with a class discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexplores the notion of \"ethnogenesis\" and how it relates to the Hui, a diverse minority group in China whose sense of group identity has been influenced by government policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One revisits the classification activity from Lesson One, and students write a short description on how they believe the Hui have been classified. Through an informational handout, students then learn about the history of the Hui, their relations with the Chinese, the role religion plays in their lives, and the concept of \"ethnogenesis.\" After answering and discussing the questions on the handout, they view and discuss images of the Hui. Part Two explores Hui, Han, and official government points of view regarding the situation of minority groups in China. Students then present to their classmates the opinions voiced in these interviews and excerpts in the form of television programs, posters, statistical analyses, and action plans. In the final part of this lesson, students debrief this lesson with a class discussion regarding Chinese government policies and ethnogenesis. Students end the lesson by writing a journal entry on parallels between the Hui in China and minority groups in other societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Tibetan culture and society as well as the history of the relations between the central government of China and the Tibetans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One introduces students to Tibet and different aspects of its culture and society. Students take notes as they view images and learn about Tibetan society and culture. This presentation of images is followed by a class discussion. Part Two provides students with background information regarding various subnational calls for independence that have come from around the world. Students then receive a handout that briefly outlines the history of Sino-Tibetan relations. They answer questions and participate in a discussion based on what they have read. Part Three equips students with documents depicting Tibetan and Chinese views on China's efforts to \"modernize\" Tibet. Using information from previous handouts and class discussions, students debate the points of each document with the help of a mediator. Students debrief the lesson with a class discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to Mongolian culture and society in China as well as the history of the relations between China and the Mongols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One introduces students to Mongols, their history, and their relationship with Han Chinese. Students view and take notes on images pertaining to Mongols, their lifestyle, and culture. They engage in classwide and small-group discussion about specific issues relating to Chinese Mongols' relationship with Mongolia, as well as issues pertaining to language, land and lifestyle, and identity. Part Two equips students with poems, excerpts from songs, and interviews regarding Mongols and their experiences. Using information gathered from class discussion and previous handouts, students either create a poster or write a poem illustrating the sentiments expressed in their activity cards. Part Three concludes the lesson with an activity in which students create a flag for the community of Mongols in China. This flag will be representative of as many segments of Mongolian society in China as possible and will be based on what students have learned from handouts, class discussions, and activity cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eintroduces students to the Miao (sometimes referred to as the \"Hmong\" outside of China), aspects of their culture, the history of relations between Chinese and Miao peoples, and issues regarding perceptions and stereotyping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One provides students with background information regarding the Miao through a variety of images and an informational handout. Students work in groups to answer questions about the Miao. Part Two explores the nature of perception and stereotyping by viewing images from \"Miao albums,\" illustrated documents of minority groups in southwest China from the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries. Part Three further analyzes more recent perceptions and stereotypes, as well as how these have changed over time, through readings about encounters between Han and Miao and poetry written by both Han and Miao. Students also discuss how tourism and media attention help or do not help maintain culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final part of the lesson debriefs the entire curriculum unit by leading students into a discussion about minority groups on a general level. Students draw parallels between minority groups and issues in China and those in other societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach lesson in this curriculum unit has specific learning objectives listed.

societies. Today's highly mobile labor force, faster means of transportation, efficient communication systems, and the dissemination of popular culture have all accelerated the movement of people and creation of diasporas. Equally, wars and disputes around the world have resulted in a flood of refugees and forced migrations from war-torn areas to neighboring countries and the industrialized states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe implications of international migration and the creation of diasporas are far-reaching and complex. Diasporas have added new commercial dimensions to their host countries, introduced cultural transformations, and influenced domestic and foreign policy. They also continue to shape their homelands, either upon their return or from abroad. They maintain ties with their homeland in a number of ways including financially supporting the economy with their earnings sent from abroad, implementing skills and education acquired abroad, and supporting political causes from abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe growing strength and presence of diasporas in pluralistic societies force us to rethink and perhaps ultimately redefine classical notions of the nation-state. Once founded on principles of cultural and political unity, the modern immigration-state now includes peoples of diverse ethnic and cultural origins, complicating definitions of national identity. National identity can become a serious issue when situations and conflicts call into question the loyalty of a country's immigrants and diasporic communities. For people whose allegiance might lie somewhere between their homeland and adopted or host country, the potential for misunderstanding could be great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to understand that this curriculum is not about American immigration history, and that diasporas are not synonymous with immigrants. The differences between diasporas and immigrants are subtle and oftentimes confusing. As a result, immigrants and diasporas frequently occupy an ambivalent position in the American mindset. The need to explore them in greater depth is paramount to avoiding potential misunderstandings and problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is within this context that\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Diasporas in the United States\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epresents the topic of diasporas to students.

Through a series of class, group, and individual activities, students learn the historical and contemporary definitions of a diaspora, identify modern diasporas in their own society, discuss the influence of the media on the public perception of diasporas, and assess their own perceptions and knowledge of the five diasporas that will be covered in the Main Lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Lesson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econtains five case studies of diasporas in the United States: Armenian, Chinese, Cuban, Irish, and Yoruban. Each case study consists of a content handout, four to six accompanying individual and small-group activities, and primary and secondary source materials such as personal letters, drawings, political cartoons, posters, songs, poetry, literature, statistics, and personal stories. Each set of handouts and activities introduces students to specific diasporas in the United States, and examines their histories, roles, and contributions to the United States and their respective homelands. Culminating activities include a Museum Walk of student-created special exhibits on the diasporas they studied, as well as a creative writing assignment in which students write press releases about the museum exhibits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth lessons in this curriculum have specific learning objectives listed.

and media coverage in many areas of the world. As awareness of environmental problems grows, countries frequently find that many problems—ranging from preserving wetlands and wildlife to protecting the global atmosphere—cannot be solved through domestic policy alone. Achieving successful solutions to such problems requires the cooperation of nations with differing values, priorities, resources, and levels of wealth. In some issue areas, nations have reached international agreements; in others, treaties remain elusive. Addressing such crucial problems requires an understanding of causality, the ability to weigh environmental concerns with other considerations, and an appreciation for differing viewpoints on the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people would agree that environmental problems should be solved; differences of opinion emerge over the issues of how much cost should be dedicated to solving these problems and how to solve them most effectively. This module encourages students to think critically about environmental problems, to consider multiple viewpoints on proposed policies to improve the environment, and to identify the policies that will be most effective in accomplishing the desired goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this module focuses on environmental problems of a global scale, students also learn how their personal decisions can affect the state of the environment. Students' impact may be indirect, as in the case of supporting candidates and policies sympathetic to their point of view on how to improve the environment, or direct, as in daily transportation and food decisions. Throughout the module, students are encouraged to relate global environmental issues to their daily lives and to discover ways in which they might be able to improve the environment through personal choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this module, students critically analyze five major environmental issues using a combination of print materials and lectures. Activities are based on selected lectures from a Stanford University course on International Environmental Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to learning about specific topics, students will gain valuable critical thinking skills applicable to any subject. Causal analysis, compliance theory, and a set of policy evaluation criteria are introduced early in the module and are employed in many of the activities. After completing the module, students should have a firm understanding of several important environmental issues, improved critical thinking skills, and an appreciation for the complex challenge of solving environmental problems through international negotiations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eContext-Setting Lesson\u003c\/b\u003e, students approach the module by deriving their own definition of the \"natural environment\" and drafting a list of environmental problems. They are then introduced to the concept of causal analysis and the use of counterfactual argumentation through a background sheet and five short prompts. Students gain practice in employing counterfactual arguments by examining a range of theories on why frog mutations are increasing across the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironment and Security\u003c\/i\u003e, investigates the relationship between environmental scarcity and national security. Students first approach the topic of \"security\" by comparing personal security with national security. Next, they consider how warfare harms the environment. Students then learn about the debate between two scholars on environmental security, Thomas Homer-Dixon and Daniel Deudney, to gain a theoretical background on the subject. They \"test\" the arguments of the two scholars by examining South Africa under apartheid and then comparing six case studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePopulation\u003c\/i\u003e, students consider how population growth affects the environment. They start by learning a formula that attempts to quantify the impact that population has on the environment. They then generate a list of factors that determine the number of children that couples choose to have. Students then learn about China's family planning policy, the most restrictive in the world. They are introduced to a framework for evaluating policies and apply these criteria to the measures of China's family planning policy. Students then consider which of China's approaches to reducing population growth are acceptable to them and formulate possible policies for controlling population growth. Finally, students ask whether their country should institute a population policy, and if so, what such a policy should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSustainable Development\u003c\/i\u003e, examines an increasingly hot topic: How can improvement in quality of life be achieved without creating environmental harm? Students begin by considering how they measure \"progress\" and improvements in their own quality of life. Next, students look at the resources they use in their daily lives and compare them with those of previous generations in their family. Through the case study of China's Three Gorges Dam, students then attempt to reconcile economic development with environmental concerns in a broader context. Finally, students will use an \"Ecological Footprint Calculator\" to obtain an estimate of the amount of land required to sustain their lifestyle and possible ways to reduce their resource use. Two optional activities allow students to track the waste they generate in a week and to identify ways to reduce their families' utility usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree Trade and the Environment\u003c\/i\u003e, tackles the often-contested issue of how free trade impacts the environment. Students begin the lesson by recording where some of their personal items originated and\/or were manufactured and reflecting on the environmental costs of producing these goods in different countries. Next, they complete a causality chart that traces the many ways in which increasing free trade may affect the environment. After a brief introduction to strategies for ensuring compliance, students find articles on how specific free trade areas have dealt with environmental disputes and create posters that summarize their case study and the compliance techniques used. Finally, students will work in groups to draft environmental protection provisions to a fictional free trade agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Change\u003c\/i\u003e, involves students in a simulation of international climate change negotiations. In groups, students read a background piece on the history of these negotiations before assuming the roles of delegates of nine countries in two rounds of climate change negotiations. This activity requires students to draw upon their policy evaluation ability and knowledge of compliance theory. At the end of the negotiations, the class will vote on the text of a new climate change treaty. To better understand the nature of such negotiations, students can participate in two online simulations beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esection of the module provides a context for students to tie together what they have learned in the module by researching and suggesting a solution for an environmental problem in their school or community.

The Cold War left an indelible print on the global environment. The Cold War forever changed interactions between states, and introduced to the world not only weapons of mass destruction, but also the threat of their deployment. The end of the Cold War further influenced policy making and perspectives on arms control and international security.

Learning how to read and reconstruct the past allows them to develop a historical perspective and to answer questions such as: Who am I? What happened in the past? How has the world changed and how might it change in the future? Why does our personal sense of relatedness to the past change? How can the perspective we have about our own life experiences be viewed as part of the larger human story across time? How do our personal stories reflect varying points of view and inform contemporary ideas and actions? Learners also draw on their knowledge of history to make informed choices and decisions in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool Applications: High school teachers can engage learners in a sophisticated analysis and reconstruction of the past, helping them to examine the relationship of the past to the present and extrapolating into the future. Teachers can facilitate learners' integration of individual stories about people, events, and situations so that they might form a holistic conception, in which continuity and change are linked in time and across cultures. Teachers can help learners to draw on their knowledge of history to make informed choices and decisions in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobal Connections\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearner Expectations:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe realities of global interdependence require that learners understand the increasingly important and diverse global connections among world societies. Analysis of tensions between national interests and global priorities contributes to the development of possible solutions to persistent and emerging global issues in many fields: health care, economic development, environmental quality, universal human rights, and others. Analyzing patterns and relationships within and among world cultures, such as economic competition and interdependence, age-old ethnic enmities, political and military alliances, and others, helps learners examine policy alternatives that have both national and global implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool Applications: High school teachers can assist learners in thinking systematically about personal, national, and global decisions, interactions, and consequences, including addressing critical issues such as peace, human rights, trade, and global ecology. They might ask learners to formulate policy statements that demonstrate an understanding of concerns, standards, issues, and conflicts related to universal human rights, or to illustrate how individual behaviors and decisions connect with global systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCivic Ideals and Practices\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearner Expectations: The study of civic ideals and practices prepares learners for full participation in society and is a central purpose of the social studies. Examining civic ideals and practices across time and in diverse societies prepares learners to close the gap between present practices and the ideals upon which our democratic republic is based. Learners confront such questions as: What is civic participation and how can I be involved? How has the meaning of citizenship evolved? What is the balance between rights and responsibilities? What is the role of the citizen in the community, in the nation, and in the world community? How can I make a positive difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool Applications: High school teachers can help learners recognize the rights and responsibilities of citizens in identifying societal needs, setting directions for public policies, and working to support both individual dignity and the common good. In addition, they can provide opportunities for learners to experience participation in community service and political activities and develop skill in using the democratic process to influence public policy. More specifically, learners can be guided through the processes of responsible citizenship participation in all its dimensions as they face political issues as citizens approaching voting age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Overview\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e, students will be presented with a historical context for studying international security. Students will learn a definition of \"international security\" and examine how the term is employed today. They will also be introduced to international security before and after the Cold War, and consider issues regarding nuclear power, ideological competition, security and future challenges. Students will engage in a jigsaw activity and analyze political cartoons. At the end of the lesson, students should be able to synthesize their understanding of the past and future of international security with their understanding of issues regarding international security today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e, students will be introduced to the concept of deterrence and its applications in times of war, in times of peace, and in daily life. They will learn to understand the requirements for deterrence, the controversial notion of \"rational deterrence,\" and the issues involved in strategizing war when weapons of mass destruction may be involved. Students will create skits emphasizing one requirement for deterrence. At the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify the key requirements for deterrence and think critically about the application of deterrence in the realm of international security as well as in their own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e, students will become familiar with the history of arms control and international security to better understand the current situation of arms control and the future of its potential. In this lesson, students will learn key terminology and concepts of arms control and international security, including issues surrounding nuclear proliferation, national missile defense, and the treaties that constitute the arms control framework. Students will explore historical texts and contemporary news stories as well as a map activity. At the end of this lesson, students should be familiar with the nuclear composition of the world, and be able to think critically about the issues of national missile defense and the importance of arms control in the international environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e, students will be given a pre-September 11th survey of biological weapons and bioterrorism. This lesson will help students understand the history of biological weapons, how they are employed, and how they tie in to issues of national and international security. They will learn about the steps involved in diagnosing a disease outbreak and determining if it is a case of bioterrorism. Students analyze disease outbreak case studies and participate in a game show format question and answer session. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify key biological weapons and understand the processes involved in preventing and responding to biological outbreaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/b\u003e, students will be provided a framework for thinking about national and international policies surrounding the reduction of weapons of mass destruction. Students will learn about the policies currently in place and those under debate, regarding the reduction and limitation of arms arsenals throughout the world, as well as non-proliferation efforts. They will engage in dialogues of personal perspectives on the threat of nuclear war by interviewing family members or friends and also participate in a policy-making role-play. At the end of the lesson, students should be able to think critically about policies regarding arms reductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-entity-field pane-node-field-file-attachments spice-book-info-download\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-file-attachments field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"file\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fsi-live.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/s3fs-public\/catalog\/20021\/Weapons_of_Mass_Destruction_.pdf\/Weapons_of_Mass_Destruction_.pdf\" class=\"download-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDownload Table of Contents\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-entity-field pane-node-field-file-attachments spice-book-info-download\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-file-attachments field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-entity-field pane-node-field-file-attachments spice-book-info-download\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-file-attachments field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-entity-field pane-node-field-file-attachments spice-book-info-download\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-file-attachments field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stanford SPICE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2217777463305,"sku":"","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/4340\/0713\/products\/Weapons_of_Mass_Destruction_cover.jpg?v=1520473087"},{"product_id":"understanding-indonesia-in-the-21st-century","title":"Understanding Indonesia in the 21st Century","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eComprehensive Unit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e233 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cc0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrade Level: High School – Community College\u003cbr\u003eIncludes curriculum unit + 6 color transparencies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-node-body clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\" property=\"content:encoded\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-pane pane-node-body clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pane-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\" property=\"content:encoded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Indonesia in the 21st Century\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eprovides students with geographic and historical context to analyze major issues facing contemporary Indonesia, as well as in-depth examination of its regional and global importance. Among the salient issues are legacies of colonialism and discussion about neocolonialism; military reform and leadership transitions; economic development after the 1997–98 Asian financial crisis; challenges of maintaining diversity and territorial integrity peacefully; Indonesia's role in regional affairs and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations; and lastly, how and why these issues are relevant to students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndonesia is in the midst of nationwide political reform and economic recovery. Legacies of past presidents and their regimes have influenced recent leaders as they strive to lead Indonesia into a new democratic era. The process of establishing the parameters of this new democracy has been rife with challenges. For example, aspects of democracy itself—for example, majority rule—raise some difficult moral questions: If the majority of the people—or of the politicians claiming to represent that majority—want \"their\" military to use violence in suppressing rebellion, where does morality lie? Does the ideal of democracy supercede that of morality? Is morality universal? If morality is different from one culture to another, does one have the right to criticize or judge the other?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the absence of clear answers to these questions, human rights advocates and governments of countries like the United States have heavily criticized Indonesia for its sometimes violent handling of domestic conflicts. It is one of many reasons why Indonesia's democratic transition and overall stability are both an international interest and concern. But it is not the only reason. Indonesia has long played a pivotal role in the regional and global economy and security. Geographically, Indonesia sits at the crossroads of maritime trade for the entire region. In 1993, over 15 percent of all the world's international trade traversed the region's waters en route to destinations beyond the Southeast Asian region. Shipping traffic through the Strait of Malacca alone is several times greater than traffic through either the Suez or Panama canals. On a global level, Indonesia is a key trading partner with Japan and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe United States has been interested in Indonesia for security-related reasons since the Cold War era. During that time, Indonesia served as a strategic place from which the U.S. military could oversee the transit of friendly warships and protect commercial traffic. After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Indonesia's security-related significance assumed a new dimension, one with great urgency, as the United States government sought to secure the world's largest Muslim country as an ally in the war against terrorism. However, this alliance raised yet another dilemma. In the United States' interest in safeguarding its own security, it appeared that cooperation with Indonesia against terrorism suddenly became more important than insistence on human rights. Did this mean that security now superceded both democracy and morality?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Indonesia in the 21st Century\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eintroduces these and other complex questions to students in a series of six lessons and a set of debriefing activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eColonialism in Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e, sets the historical context for the five subsequent lessons on contemporary Indonesia. For students to understand contemporary Indonesia, an understanding of the historical underpinnings of Dutch and Japanese colonization is most important. Legacies of Indonesia's colonial experiences are also introduced to students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Lesson One, students will discuss similarities and differences between Dutch and Japanese colonial rule, between the initial reasons for colonization and the tensions that arose between the colonizers and the colonized. Students will also examine how colonialism occurs, and in particular, consider the role of propaganda in colonialism. Through viewing actual images of propaganda used by both the Japanese and the Dutch during and shortly after World War II, students will discuss elements of propaganda, its definition, and its use. Students will then work in groups to examine documents related to the colonization of Indonesia, each representing a different viewpoint. Each group will answer questions listed at the end of its assigned document and will present its viewpoint to the class. Six (three pairs of) different viewpoints are represented. After each pair of presentations, the teacher will lead a short discussion with the students regarding what was presented, how each account differed, and why. Finally, students will end the lesson with a debriefing session on issues and repercussions of colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Indonesia's Military\u003c\/i\u003e, allows students to analyze the history of the military as presented in a more neutral light, so they can understand the situation from a more complete perspective. It is important for students to understand the ever-changing nature of reputations—not just of military institutions, but any institution that has a long history. If students can learn to investigate any claim before blindly accepting it as truth, they will learn to avoid the dangers of forming quick judgments out of context and out of ignorance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe activity in Part One prepares students for the rest of the lesson by discussing the military as an institution and what its role is from country to country. Students will also examine the importance of context when discussing any country's military and how media coverage can sometimes be misleading. Part Two focuses on the study of Indonesia's military and its emergence as an independent country in the immediate post-World War II period. Students will examine the historical roots that shaped the role of the Indonesian military. In Part Three, students create shadow puppet shows that illustrate some of the different phases in Indonesia's military past. The lesson culminates with a debriefing section that brings the discussion closer to home for students by posing questions about their own countries' militaries as well as relevant issues and debates surrounding militaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndonesia's Economy in Transition\u003c\/i\u003e, addresses issues pertinent to Indonesia's economy. The focus of Part One is to familiarize students with the recent economic situation in Indonesia. Part Two engages the students in a simulation in which economic sectors of Indonesia vie for grant money that has become available from a Planning Committee of the Indonesian government. The Planning Committee has the task of appropriating funds made available through the Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI). Divided into groups by economic sector, students prepare their proposals to justify the awarding of grant money to their sector. In a class simulation, the groups will present their cases to the Planning Committee. The Planning Committee will award points on the basis of the sectors' positive contributions to both Indonesia and foreign investors. The grant money will be awarded by the Planning Committee to the sector groups who achieve the highest ratings on a score sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Challenges of Diversity in Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e, examines Indonesia's diversity in its geography, languages, religions, and ethnicities. While its diversity may be seen as a great asset, it is also a tremendous challenge for the country in terms of building and maintaining a cohesive and peaceful nation. This lesson consists of two parts. In Part One, students will look at diversity in general in Indonesia, as well as some of its origins and its consequences. In Part Two, students will participate in a simulation that involves cross-cultural interactions and replicates some situations and feelings evoked by transmigration policies. As part of the debriefing section of this lesson, students will examine six different Indonesian perspectives on diversity in Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Five\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Territorial Integrity of Indonesia\u003c\/i\u003e, familiarizes students with the many secessionist calls within Indonesia. They will also compare these movements with other subnational calls for autonomy in other parts of the world. In Part One, students attempt to match various subnational calls for independence with their descriptions. Students then discuss different ways to respond to regional desires for more independence. In Part Two, students act as campaign staff for a fictional 1999 gubernatorial vote in East Timor. This activity allows students to learn in a creative and stimulating context about the complexity surrounding East Timor's independence referendum. Finally, in Part Three students will learn about five other regional autonomy movements in Indonesia. Assuming the role of consultants to the UN General Assembly, they will prepare a briefing of the conditions in one of five regions and recommend a solution. The lesson will end with a discussion of the similarity of Indonesia's problems to some of those encountered in the list of subnational calls for autonomy in other parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Six\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndonesia and Its Neighbors\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces students to Indonesia's neighboring countries and briefly describes the relations among these countries. In Part One of the lesson, students engage in activities that allow them to learn about the complex issues that exist bilaterally and multilaterally in the Southeast Asian region. They also study specifically about Indonesia's relationship with each of its neighbors. In Part Two, students learn about the origins and primary objectives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). In the group activity, students consider the candidacy of four fictitious nations seeking membership to ASEAN. By engaging in the activity, students gain knowledge about concepts such as regional cooperation and integration, interregional trade, noninterference, and national sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Conclusion section of the unit ties the first six lessons together in a way that underscores the value of Indonesia in a global context. This debriefing section brings closure to students' introductory study of Indonesia. At the same time, it encourages students to think in broader terms so they can apply certain analytical skills beyond the scope of Indonesia and its affairs, and better understand the world in which they live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnit Goals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the six lessons in this curriculum has specific learning objectives listed.

complexities of protecting human rights. Students are encouraged to consider multiple perspectives when reading and discussing case studies from around the world without simply acting on their assumptions or commonly held stereotypes of the involved people or parties. Thus, while it is expected that students will be able to empathize with victims of human rights violations, another objective of this module is for students to understand the mentality behind the perpetrators' actions. Without justifying or condoning acts of human rights violations, students are expected to be able to understand why humans might violate each other's rights, as well as how such episodes occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis curriculum unit includes sensitive and often controversial topics that challenge students to reflect on and try to make sense of some of the most inhumane events in recent history. In this unit, students discover that greed, hatred, and oppression often intertwine with human rights violations. Yet at the same time, they learn about courageous, heroic individuals and organizations that advocate human rights issues. Students are also introduced to innovative and empowering ways of healing wounds resulting from breaches of human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExamining Human Rights in a Global Context\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis designed to introduce high school students to many of the key issues that have arisen in debates about human rights. As it is impossible to address every issue related to human rights in only four lessons, it is strongly recommended that you supplement the curriculum with further research and extension activities. While the unit includes a lesson that introduces students to human rights broadly and three lessons on minority, civil\/political, and women's rights, you may also choose to include other topics in extension activities, such as the rights of children, refugees, and prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appendices contain a comprehensive list of additional resources to aid further study. You will note that some of the resources listed are about or from advocacy-based organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. We encourage students to consider how the mass media and advocacy organizations present issues related to human rights. Students should gather evidence from multiple perspectives and think critically about these issues. The resources mentioned are by no means meant to be an exhaustive listing; rather, they are meant to be starting points for more in-depth student research and discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhat Are Human Rights?\u003c\/i\u003e, prompts students to consider an appropriate definition of \"human rights.\" Subsequently, students begin to categorize events and issues into various groups of human rights, noting that some may overlap or conflict with others. The second part encourages students to consider \"both sides of the story\" while reading fictional accounts that may involve human rights violations. Students are invited to consider the complex, interpersonal dynamics of human rights violations and to recognize that it is not always easy to decide which side is \"right\" and which is \"wrong.\" In Part Three, the origins and evolution of human rights and international human rights documents are considered within the context of possible Western biases in the contemporary conceptualization of human rights. Finally, students carry out individual research projects based on a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, recognized for individual or group work in support of human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMinorities, Minority Rights, and Genocide\u003c\/i\u003e, consists of two parts. In the first part, students consider their personal experiences with discrimination and then develop a working definition of minorities and minority rights. Students examine photographs and discuss the consequences of minority rights abuse. This part concludes with students exploring case studies about minority rights violations existing in the world today. Students research one case study in depth and prepare various simulations that teach their classmates about the issues and the multiple perspectives involved. The second part focuses on genocide. Students become familiar with three cases of genocide and consider the similarities and differences among them. The lesson then leads students to debate the question, \"Is democracy necessary to prevent genocide?\" Students look at the photographs from the first part of the lesson again and write a reflective essay noting any changes in their perceptions of minority rights issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCivil\/Political Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, begins by asking students to identify civil\/political rights violations from a list of situations. Students then create their own definition of civil\/political rights. After this theoretical introduction, students use six real-life case studies to delve deeper into civil\/political rights issues. In the first activity, groups of students create advocacy posters that express two sides in their assigned case study. In conveying the viewpoints of two sides, students learn about the arguments these parties use to justify their positions. For the second activity, groups of students prepare and perform a trial of the alleged civil\/political rights violator in their case study. Another group will act as the jury and will decide on whether or not to punish the defendant. The lesson concludes with a discussion of whether justice is possible in the case studies and whether certain forms of government show more respect for civil\/political rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Four\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen and Human Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, begins with an activity that prompts students to reflect on gender stereotypes they may hold and to think about the origins of such assumptions about males and females. The lesson focuses on biological and socially constructed differences between males and females that may explain why women may be impacted by certain human rights violations more so than males. The first part of the lesson familiarizes students with the notion of the \"feminization of poverty\" through case studies from Brazil, Nicaragua, and Honduras. The second part encourages students to discuss the relationship between the low status of women and their increased risk of contracting AIDS. Students read an article from \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e and study the impact of the epidemic on women in South Africa and India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit concludes with a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnit Debriefing\u003c\/i\u003e, intended to highlight contemporary controversies surrounding the protection of human rights.

It is almost impossible to pick up a newspaper without reading an article about international agreements. Since the end of World War II, more treaties have been formed than in the preceding four centuries. Nations have signed treaties on topics ranging from trade to collective defense. As the scope and frequency of treaties in international relations continue to evolve, it is imperative that we increase our awareness of treaties and how they operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year 2001 marks the 50th anniversary of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. As the United States and Japan commemorate five decades of peaceful relations, leaders in both nations have called upon scholars and educators to discuss the peace process with a new generation of students growing up during a period characterized by globalization and cooperation between the United States and Japan. As we revisit the San Francisco Peace Treaty, we commemorate the end of both the Pacific War and the Allied Occupation of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, it is valuable for students to recall the historical context of the peace treaty. Who agreed to sign it and why? How was the treaty drafted? What was controversial about the treaty? What issues remained unresolved? Was the treaty fair? International leaders at the San Francisco Peace Treaty Conference faced significant global issues that informed their opinions on the treaty. Events including the Korean War, Mao's rise to power in China, the Allied Occupation of Japan, and the Soviet development of nuclear weapons all played a role in determining the content of the treaty and the postwar world order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit will provide students with historical knowledge of the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the global issues that influenced its signatories in 1951. Through role-play activities, analysis of primary sources, and writing assignments, students will develop a solid understanding of the early Cold War era. Students will also learn about the treaty's long-term implications through a discussion on contemporary war grievance-related issues and by reading speeches by American and Japanese government officials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverview\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following is a brief summary of the organization of this unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebriefly introduces students to the San Francisco Peace Treaty by having them read an American perspective on the San Francisco Peace Treaty as presented in an encyclopedia entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of this lesson uses secondary historical sources to focus on the period between 1945–51.

that surround it. The three case studies highlighted in this curriculum—a street child in India, child soldiers in Uganda, and a migrant farmworker child in the United States—illustrate many complex aspects of child labor. Through these case studies, students will gain insight into different types of child labor, its causes, its consequences, and approaches to intervention. The case studies do not represent the most prevalent form of child labor in each particular country. Instead, they were chosen to illustrate three very different types of child labor that exist in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with many controversial topics of study, child labor is enormously complex. Scholars in the field may devote their entire careers to studying about a particular aspect of child labor, while a high school teacher might realistically have only a week or two to teach the topic.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Global Investigation of Child Labor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis designed to introduce high school students to many of the key issues that have arisen in debates about child labor. As it is impossible to address every issue related to child labor in only three lessons, it is strongly recommended that you supplement the curriculum with further research and extension activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lessons are constructed to provide frameworks of study, but the further research and extension activities listed at the end of Lesson Three can be easily added to any classroom situation.

The lesson consists of four parts. The first part assesses students' prior knowledge of child labor. Students also investigate and discuss reasons why people work. The second part introduces students to a basic definition of child labor. They will also examine different situations in which children work so that they can begin to understand the difference between child employment and child labor, and the complexities that often surround this difference. The third part introduces students to the nine types of child labor that exist in the world, as defined by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Students will work in small groups to learn about a particular form of child labor. They will use images on transparencies to create an informative class slide show about child labor. The fourth part concludes the lesson with debriefing activities and discussions. A comprehensive Student Handout is distributed for homework reading and as preparation for the next lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Two\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Complexity of Child Labor\u003c\/i\u003e, focuses on the complexity of child labor and encourages students to think more deeply about the issues that surround it. In Part One, students will work cooperatively to teach a portion of the content reading using an interactive learning technique called the \"jigsaw\" method. In Part Two, students will remain in the same small groups to create a set of questions that will be used in a Team Quiz activity. Teams will compete against each other in a test of knowledge. Part Three concludes the lesson with debriefing discussions and independent writing assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLesson Three\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Closer Look at Child Labor: Case Studies from Around the World\u003c\/i\u003e, allows students to explore issues through a case study approach. Three case studies—a street child in India, four child soldiers from Uganda, and a migrant farmworker child from the United States—provide a diversity of viewpoints from which students can gain a better understanding of child labor and how it impacts the lives of real children.
