Wilson v. Norris

After watching the 14:30-31:00 (you can go faster through the part on the Russian Revolution) of The Century: Shell Shock, we'll analyze Woodrow Wilson's War Message to Congress by applying the tenets of Just War Theory to his argument. We'll then read George Norris' Argument Against War (AR 422) and explore how just war theory relates to his argument. We'll do this on a big paper activity in class.
Here are your groups for today:

Group #1 Timothy Kelan Arthur	Group #2 Noah Logan Sam	Group #3 Max Abbe Taylor	Group #4 Olivera Julia Kayla	Group #5 Fernando Jake Shayma
Group #6 Joey Stella Nolan

Should the United States Enter World War One?

Today we reviewed the MAIN (Militarism, Alliance, Imperialism, Nationalism) of World War One.
Next, we were introduced the concept of "Just War Theory". We thought about Jus Ad Bellum as we used a "socrative" survey in order to get class opinions on when the United States should have entered (if at all). Here is a different version of that survey if you were absent: Should the United States Go to War?
Here is a link to our class results: Socrative Results
After recording in our notebooks our own decision about when and why (if at all) the United States should enter WWI, we watched about the first 14 minutes of a video that helped to describe the conditions in the United States an in Europe during the first part of WWI. The Century: Shell Shock.
