Wealth and Property in the US

On Thursday 10, Mar. we continued our study of the Industrial Revolution. We actually spent almost the entire class period in a  discussion on social class, property, work and ownership. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Consider the following questions which were discussed and how you might answer them. You should write your answers down on a separate piece of paper titled Capitalism & Socialism: Introductory Discussion Questions.

- What is property?
- Why is owning property important?
- How does one gain ownership of property?
- Why do some people have more property than others?
- Why are some people workers and others management?
- How are these things reflected in our society today?

2) Watch the following video and write a response (no more than 1/2 page) on what you think about it and what questions you have that you would like more information on about the faccts given in the video.
