Governments of Asia
We will be studying the governments of 6 countries: Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, China, India and Japan.
Things to remember while you complete this assignment:
1. Most governments do not fall completely into one category, so you may have to identify several categories for 1 country.
For instance, a country might have a king (monarchy) but also vote for elected officials (legislature). This would be a parliamentary monarchy, but you could say that it is somewhat of a monarchy and somewhat of a democracy.
2. Some governments do not represent themselves truthfully (remember North Korea). If a country has voting, but there is only 1 person to vote for, is it REALLY a democracy?
Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Open the powerpoint you need from Google Classroom - choose EITHER "Governments of Southeast Asia" or "Governments of the Middle East."
2. Review the powerpoint carefully.
3. Use the powerpoint to fill out the graphic organizer.
