Freedom in the world
Kevin James, who teaches at Albany High School, pointed out in his blog for the comparative government and politics class, the Freedom House 2010 survey of Freedom in the world.He quoted the press release from Freedom House: "According to the survey’s findings, 2009 marked the fourth consecutive year in which global freedom suffered a decline—the longest consecutive period of setbacks for freedom in the nearly 40-year history of the report. These declines were most pronounced in Sub-Saharan Africa, although they also occurred in most other regions of the world. Furthermore, the erosion in freedom took place during a year marked by intensified repression against human rights defenders and democracy activists by many of the world’s most powerful authoritarian regimes, including Russia and China."
The whole Freedom House report won't be issued for a couple months, but there's enough in the press release, an overview essay, some tables and graphs, and the "Map of Freedom 2010" to create some valuable teaching plans.
