Social Studies 20-2

Course Description

To what extent should we embrace nationalism? Explore the answer to this question as you examine historical and contemporary understandings of nationalism in Canada and the world. Examine the origins and impacts of nationalism on individuals and communities from a variety of perspectives through examples of nationalism, ultra-nationalism, supra-nationalism, and internationalism. Topics include the French Revolution, World War I, Nazi Germany, and the development of foreign policy in the Global Village. This is the second course in the stream for students who want to achieve the basic Social Studies requirements. The course includes several timed, Proctorio-supervised assessments, including a final exam. These require a working webcam, a microphone, and a clear desk or table. Students are not allowed to write supervised assessments on a bed. 

While built-in cameras are acceptable, using an external webcam is highly recommended; it provides a better field of view, which significantly reduces the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity. These can typically be purchased affordably online.
