1. Greco-Roman views of law and Judeo-Christian can be similar and different in many ways. The time period of the Greco-Romans begins with the occupation of Greece. Greco-Romans had a powerful military, and dominated in that facility; citizenship was also given to non-Romans as well. The Judeo-Christian law is solely based upon religion; God and the Gospel are the two main things that Judeo-Christians follow.
2. Some of the ideas for Western politics trace as far back as Plato and Aristotle�s time. In Plato�s mind, a society should have 3 main classes; one for working (peasants,) one for the military and keeping the society defended, and the smartest of the people would make up the leaders. Aristotle, however, didn�t like the idea of giving one man power, because if you gave one man a taste of pure power they would go crazy with it and wouldn�t make a good leader. Aristotle believed more in a Democracy so that the people would have more power, I think Western politics have taken ideas from that and put it into practice.
3. Many nations have used the U.S. constitution as a guideline to start a democracy. Most of the things in the constitution make a good foundation for a newly designed democratic government which is the reason nations take a close look at it to create their own. The U.S. constitution has influenced democratic views and policies.

Standards 10.3
1. Analyze why England was the first country to industrialize.
England had replaced the manual labor before the rest of the world which is the reason why it was the first country to industrialize. Industrialization then spread throughout the rest of the world because you could produce more items in a given time and sell them for less.
2. Examine how scientific and technological changes and new forms of energy brought about massive social, economic, and cultural change (e.g., the inventions and discoveries of James Watt, Eli Whitney, Henry Bessemer, Louis Pasteur, and Thomas Edison.)
New scientific and technological discoveries changed how the world worked. New inventions made working easier for the person and also cheaper. Inventions like the cotton gin by Eli Whitney and the steam engine by James Watt saved a lot of time.
3. Describe the growth of population, rural to urban migration, and growth of cities associated with the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution increased rural to urban migration because people farming realized it was more efficient to work in factories, because people were needed and the pay was higher. Since factories were located in cities people moved to live closer to their jobs.
4. Trace the evolution of work and labor, including the demise of the slave trade and the effects of immigration, mining and manufacturing, division of labor, and the union movement.
Since people that worked on farms used their children as workers they accepted the idea of children working in factories. Children and women got hurt daily and this made a need for a union movement. Unions were set up to protect child labor and the dangers of a factory. Immigration and slave trade was also increased because of the need for workers.
5. Understand the connections among natural resources, entrepreneurship, labor, and capital in an industrial economy.
Natural resources, entrepreneurship, labor, and capital play an important part in an industrial economy. Natural resources such as gas, water, and others can create a very stable income of money for an industrial economy. Gas can be used to fuel cars and water can be used to power hydroelectric machines.
6. Analyze the emergence of capitalism as a dominant economic pattern and the responses to it, including Utopianism, Social Democracy, Socialism, and Communism.
Capitalism is where property is privately owned and governed and made for a profit for the owner himself. Utopianism is based around capitalism because it is made to create a society that betters the self.
7. Describe the emergence of Romanticism in art and literature (e.g., the poetry of William Blake and William Wordsworth), social criticism (e.g., the novels of Charles Dickens), and the move away from Classicism in Europe.
