Some Questions that got answered this Week

• What is a spectrum?- A spectrum is used to classify something, oer suggests that it can be classified in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points.
• Who is Tommy Douglas?-He's a Canadian politician, Who brought universal health care to Canada.
• What kind of things did Tommy bring to Saskatchewan?- He built roads, allowed women in bars, paid vacation, built sewers and got paid vacations. He also put in electricity all around Saskatchewan and came up with the human bill of rights which is close to the charter of rights and freedoms we have today.

I believe that understanding the different elements of a economic and political spectrum will greatly benefit us throughout this course. And that we need to understand the difference between the two but remembering that the right and left end of  these spectrum's can work together to help make up one's view. Keeping in mind that the political spectrum = change.
