during the week of the Foundresses, I learned about the stories of Julie and Franciose. Learning about their stories and their journeys was very interesting since this was how the sisters of Notre Dame formed. Learning about how they came to be and the struggles they went through, it was quite an interesting story. All the things they went through, from the home struggles to the general people struggles, to having to deal with being in hiding or almost dying. Also it was interesting to look back at all the Hallmarks from NDNU since it's pretty much what notre dame in a sense follows.

Module 1:  How did the Industrial Revolution transform British society?  Before the Industrial Revolution, the aristocrats were pretty much at the top. They were the ones who had control over things being the dominant class of Britain. Before the revolution, there were many families, (appox. more than half) who had owned more than half of the land, and they would use a majority of it for people who would farm, which also provided work for others.

Module 4 Read the section on fascism in chapter 20 of our textbook. You do not need to read the entire chapter. Then spend 30 minutes doing self-guided research on the internet about fascism.  Fascism was known as something that was said all across Europe. It was something that was known as being nationalistic, and to purify the nation. The spokesman of it all was all for violence towards enemies. With the renewing force in society, many placed their faith in a leader. Fascists also were against individualism, liberalism, feminism, parliamentary democracy, and communism because they viewed it as something that only weakened the nation. There were small fascist movements in many Western European countries, as well as France, Great Britain and the Netherlands. There were more movements that took place in places like Austria, Hungary, and Romania.
