Chapter 24 Part III

Questions

This is a little different from how we usually conduct homework.  Since this section is so social in nature, I want you to dominate most of the discussion tomorrow.

Greg:  Prepare discussion questions on marriage and prostitution (yay!)
Anya: Prepare discussion questions on gender roles and family life and child rearing.
I will bring questions about changes in education and leisure activities (not in reading, but things you should know).

Let me know if you have any questions!  Basically, have some bullet points to go along with your questions in case there is a lull in the conversation.  A lot of this information is intuitive/common knowledge, but certainly still fair game for a free-response question.

Chapter 24 Part II

Questions

Discuss the diversity of the middle class (i.e. the upper middle class, middle class, lower middle class).

Discuss the diversity of the lower class (i.e. labor aristocracy/"petite bourgeoisie", semi-skilled, and unskilled workers)

Discuss the changing emphasis on religion.  Why might industrialization play a part in this?

Chapter 24 Part I

Chapter 23 Part III

Terms

Why were the Hungarians unable to maintain their autonomy in the Austrian empire in 1848?

Why was the Frankfurt Assembly unable to get its liberal constitution approved and unify the German states?  What does this say about the nature of reaction in the 1848 revolutions in general?
