Concept Formation

In order to fully understand the material of this unit
and to effectively participate in its activities, it is
important that you grasp three important concepts:
Cause and Effect
Social Studies Perspectives
Nationalism
Definitions


Cause: Causes make things happen. They
are the factors that result in the
occurrence of events.
Effect: Effects are the things that result
from a particular event.
Applying the Concepts

Listen to the “Tragic Story of Jack and
Jim” following along on your handout
Individual Work


The “event” that we are focusing on in the
story is Jack’s punch.
Look back over the story and make a list
of all of the causes and all the effects of
Jack’s punch.
Group Discussion 1



Together, look over the handout’s description of the
types of causes
From our list of causes of Jack’s punch sort the causes
into the following categories:
 The Main Cause
 Contributing Causes
 The Immediate Cause
 Remote or Background Causes
Be prepared to discuss your reasoning with the class
Group Discussion 2



Look over the handout’s description of the types of
effects
From our list of effects of Jack’s punch sort the
causes into “immediate effects” and “long term
effects”
Be prepared explain your reasoning to the class
Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies


Consider the topic we have just finished studying:
Imperialism
With your group brainstorm as many causes of
imperialism as you can.
Applying the Concepts to Previous Studies

Following is a list of causes of imperialism we might
have brainstormed:
 Social
Darwinism/European “Superiority”
 Competition among European nations
 The Industrial Revolution
 The availability of resources
 African disunity and weakness

With your group sort the causes above into the
following categories: the trigger (immediate cause),
the main cause, contributing causes, background
causes
Sample Analysis – Causes of Imperialism




Trigger/Immediate Cause : the availability of
resources
Main Cause: Industrial Revolution
Contributing Causes: African disunity and weakness,
Social Darwinism/Europe’s feelings of superiority
Background Causes: European competition
Applying the Concepts to Previous
Studies

With your group brainstorm as many
effects of imperialism as you can


Following is a list of effects of imperialism we might
have brainstormed:
 Increase
in European wealth
 African poverty
 Slavery/forced labor
 Destruction of African culture
 Destruction of African land
 Turmoil in independent African nations

With your group sort the effects above into immediate
effects and long term effects
Sample Analysis – Effects of Imperialism

Immediate Effects:
 Slavery/forced
labor
 Destruction of African land and culture
 European wealth

Long term effects:
 African
poverty
 Turmoil in independent African nations
Applying the Concepts to War



As a group brainstorm and write down as many
causes of war as you can
Sort your list into three groups: immediate causes,
contributing causes, and remote/background causes
Now discuss and develop and answer to the following
questions:
 Is
there such a thing as a “just war”?
 If so, which of the causes you identified might result in a
just war?

Be prepared to explain your answer.
Applying the Concepts to War cont.


As a group brainstorm and write down as many
effects of war as you can
Sort your list into two groups: short term/immediate
effects and long term effects
Social Studies Perspectives

With your group develop a definition for each of the
following terms:
 Geography
 Economics
 Politics
 Culture
 Sociology
 Psychology

Then discuss what you think it means to look at an
event from the perspective of each of the above terms
Social Studies Perspectives






Geographic: Looking at an event from a geographical perspective asks how ideas of
place, region, human-environmental interaction, location and movement affected the
event.
Political: Looking at an event from a political perspective asks how a society’s leaders,
the ways leaders are chosen, the society’s laws, and the ways those laws are made
affected the event.
Economic: Looking at an event from an economic perspective asks how a society’s
needs and the way they attempt to satisfy those needs affected the event.
Cultural: Looking at an event looking at an event from a cultural perspective asks how
a group’s collective knowledge, experience, beliefs, attitudes and/or customs affected
the event.

Here is the list of the causes of imperialism we
developed earlier:
 Social
Darwinism/European “Superiority”
 Competition among European nations
 The Industrial Revolution
 The availability of resources
 African disunity and weakness

With your group link each cause to the appropriate

than one)

Defining Nationalism



Individually read the handout which contains four
examples of nationalism
As a group discuss what the four examples have in
common
Using the commonalities you found try to develop a
definition of nationalism - your definition should
include four critical attributes (things that have to
exist for nationalism to be present)
