There will be a quiz on 25 or 26 September.

Students worked in groups on the words constitution to oligarchy.

The class then briefly discussed Maslow's Hierachy of Needs and how to break the hierachy into catergories or into specific needs in order to create an analyticaly chart answering the following questions:
What "Needs" can a government help people attain, and how? Which needs are you unsure whether a government can help? Which needs are not something a Government can help a person attain, and why?

Students had time to work on this chart in class. This completed chart should be brought to next class.
