Socials 8 Current Event Unit

This unit is dedicated to newsworthy current events. I am looking for local, national and world events. I am looking for business, finance and politics. This is not the place to discuss the score in the recent Flames game, a football trade or anything to do with a Kardashian or Taylor Swift.

Do not look at this assignment as a major source of stress. Consider it an opportunity to explore a newsworthy topic of interest and to share your interests with your peers. Some interesting topics include:

The trade war Canada vs. United States (tariffs)
The impact of falling oil prices on Alberta's economy
The sale of Trans Mountain Pipeline
The future of space tourism
The Crimean Crisis
Canadians joining the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq
Gun laws in the United States
The release of the iPhone X (10)


Overview: Explain the event that occurred. 

Background: Why is the context of the event? Why did the event occur?

Significance: Why does this event matter?

Impact on the Future: How is this event going to impact the future?
