Mission Statement

• By their sixth grade year, Students should be
  able to demonstrate knowledge of national culture
  and history including conflicts, major
  migrations, and subcultures. The concepts that
  will be used in these developments are historical
  and theoretical perspectives, identity/ideology,
  and imagined communities. Students will better
  understand their selves and their nation, unite
  as citizens and gain knowledge.

Incorporated Concepts

• John Lye defined ideology as something that
  enables the group holding the power to have the
  maximum control with the minimum of conflict.

In Eve Stoddard and Grant Cornwells piece, they
mention local or national identities should not
be held with blind commitment, but subject to
critical, rational evaluation and comparison with
the loyalties and needs of others. Ankie
Hoogvelt encourages cultural studies. She says,
The emancipatory promise and purpose of cultural
studies is to discover resistance and subversive
creativity in the cultural relationship between
the dominant and subordinated groups, and help to
reverse it (169).

Benedict Anderson said when referring to nations
as imagined communities, It is imagined because
the members of even the smallest nation will
never know most of their fellow-members, meet
them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of
each lives the image of their communion.
