Will and I explored many facets of Scotland, particularly as it relates to the effects of the Industrial Revolution. Will read a brief history of Scotland, and we talked about it's politics, economic and social policies, and the way it fits politically and finically within the UK. We briefly touched on several Scottish philosophers whose ideas became prominent during the Industrial Revolution. Finally, we read a website written about the upcoming Scottish independence vote (in September) and we discussed the implications for independence in terms of economics and social policies.
