Presidential Debates week of 10/19-10/24

My favorite activity so far has been the gender roles assignment during the  week of October 19th-24th. I did a huge project for title IX for one of my courses last semester.


The activity that seemed a bit unclear was the one in which we were suppose to comment on the situation that occurred in school. I do not understand fully the situation that has occurred.

An example of a blog (political or other type) that covers some aspect of the presidential debates

http://www.facebook.com/#!/beingliberal.org   I derived this from a facebook page. This is a prime example on how social media can have an influence on the public with its humor. This is essentially a prime example of some of what is covered in chapter 11 of our text.

Why we focused on the Stamp Act

I think we were asked to focus on the Stamp Act because it was one of the first events in America where democracy was successfully exercised with a favorable outcome. The colonists were able to come together and help repeal a piece of legislation that the British Crown could have reinforced with the militia that was present in the states. I think this resistance movement outlined a more ideal framework for protest in spite that there had been protests prior to the stamp act.
