World-Civics-12th Focus

World: In class we concluded our exploration with caste.  Can you make a solid comparison with Class?  You viewed a couple short clips, one from 60 minutes the other from documentary in order to obtain context and the reality of the system.  Total time spent on the clips was about 20 minutes.  We then focused on ARTA, how to get what you want. A common theme among Hinduism.  You participated in the 10 wishes activity, then received the Eight Rupees reading.  Please complete the reading, you will enjoy the story, and DO the questions.  Be prepared to share and discuss.
