ONLINE VIDEOS TO ENHANCE STUDENT UNDERSTANDING OF THIS UNIT & LIFE

NATIONALISM
1) Nationalism - Crash Course - John Green's hyper fast-paced silly but basic and informative review of the subject of Nationalism. (13 minutes)

2) Nationalism - Yale Lecture - Here is a basic college lecture on the subject of Nationalism. If you cannot understand or stay focused for at least 11 minutes of this, then you should think twice about going to college. (50 minutes)

4) War Room - Behind the scenes of the people who run political campaigns.

5) Language - Comparing Slavic Languages (Russian and Croatian)


IMPERIALISM
1) Imperialism - Crash Course - Yet another John Green's hyper fast-paced silly but basic and informative review of the subject of Imperialism. If a student misses several days of school, they should be sure to watch these videos along with reading the textbook. (13 minutes)

AFRICA
1) Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story
Have your mind stretched and blown away by this Nigerian Woman who will not only stretch your understanding of Nigerians but of all humans. Brilliant speaker! Brilliant topic! Watch and in about 20 minutes your perception of the world will dissolve and become something newer and better. 

2) Jarreth Merz: Filming democracy in Ghana - a Swiss-Ghanaian filmmaker, came to Ghana in 2008 to film the national elections. What he saw there taught him new lessons about democracy -- and about himself.

3) BBC African Business Report - This is why BBC is good. A viewer actually gets some depth about a topic and learns about stuff that is all too often ignored in the American Media Cave. 

4) Dambisa Moyo (Zambian Economist) When Mr P hears about economic stuff happening in Africa, Dambisa Moyo is one person he likes to check in with. This Zambian Economist spits out all sort of interesting current stats about Africa and she usually shares some interesting viewpoints to economic ideas happening on the continent.  

Another Dambisa Moyo interesting short interview

5) Dambisa Moyo (Dead Aid) - Why financial aid has been a disaster for Africa? Bill Gates says she is wrong and evil? Wow! Who is right? You wont get the answer by merely watching these 2 short videos, but by watching, studying and considering this topic much much more.


INDIA
1) Shashi Tharoor: Why nations should pursue "soft" power
Great overview of where India is, where it might be headed or where it should go.

2) Sugata Mitra's new experiments in self-teaching - You have to hand it to this guy with regards to trying to get creative with education and making learning magical. 


CHINA

1) Eric X Li: A Tale of Two Political Systems - It's a standard assumption in the West: As a society progresses, it eventually becomes a capitalist, multi-party democracy. Right? Eric X. Li, a Chinese investor and political scientist, begs to differ. In this provocative, boundary-pushing talk, he asks his audience to consider that there's more than one way to run a successful modern nation.

2) Martin Jacques: Understanding the Rise of China - Speaking at a TED Salon in London, economist Martin Jacques asks: How do we in the West make sense of China and its phenomenal rise? The author of "When China Rules the World," he examines why the West often puzzles over the growing power of the Chinese economy, and offers three building blocks for understanding what China is and will become.

3) Dambisa Moyo: Is China the new idol for emerging economies? - The developed world holds up the ideals of capitalism, democracy and political rights for all. Those in emerging markets often don't have that luxury. In this powerful talk, economist Dambisa Moyo makes the case that the west can't afford to rest on its laurels and imagine others will blindly follow. Instead, a different model, embodied by China, is increasingly appealing. A call for open-minded political and economic cooperation in the name of transforming the world.
