PLease read this by Friday.

We watched the first (of four) segment from Freakonomics, "What's in a Name?"  We then discussed the segment (at your tables, then as a class).  I followed with a question:

Is diversity a strength or weakness?

Then we looked at some interesting maps from 2010 census data.

Finally, I want you to look at some maps regarding ethnic groups in Europe:

Ethnic Groups in Austria-Hungary 1910

Europe Ethnic Minorities Today

Yugoslavia Ethnic Groups

If it is so obvious that Austria-Hungary could not be kept together, why do we continue to allow our own nation's urban areas to be segregated along ethnic/racial lines today?

WIL 1.4 (9-27-13) Machiavelli 1 

Does the end justify the means?

Basically, if the outcome is "good" does it matter what was done to achieve it?
