Today, students were introduced to the economic pattern known as Socialism and the root of its development in Utopian Thought (Post-Napoleonic French Theory). They were exposed to some of the early Utopian philosophers and their thoughts about "community living" including the extension of that Socialist thought through Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto. Following the lecture notes, students were given two handouts to read for homework on Socialism and the further expansion of Industrialism in Europe. In class, the instructor and the students analyzed a political cartoon on Industrial Social Ills (Poverty, Pollution, etc) and the impact that literary writers had on the Industrial Movement (Charles Dickens in Hard Times [1854]).

About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
