Social Studies - Ideologies Resources

Picture
Check out American Dad episode Red October Sky for an entertaining look at two conflicting ideologies; Capitalism and Communism. An ex-KGB agent, Sergei, moves in across the street from Stan, and gets back at Stan for an earlier encounter by converting his son, Steve, to be a communist. 

Some great material in this one.

Memorable Quotes Related to Social Studies


Stan: "Over  there lies the west, people are buying Bobby McFerrin tapes, JOLT Cola, and
Scottie Pippen Sneakers, that's capitalism! and its going to triumph over your
lousy system"
Sergei: "I laugh at your decadent western ways, behind you lies communism, the paradise of the proletariat, free of excess...devoted to the cause!"

Stan:  Anyway, I better get back to work, Boss has been riding me...
Steve: Yeah....That sounds like the typical complaint of the proletariat...

Overall this is a great episode, again, I would recommend editing out some of the inappropriate material, but you can use your judgement. In Alberta, this would be used for grade 12 Social Studies .
