人教版高中歷史必修2羅斯福新政教案
【教學(xué)參考】對“新政”作用的評價史學(xué)界對“新政”作用的評價是仁者見仁、智者見智，但基本上有三種觀點，即“功大于過論”、“過大于功論”和“功過參半論”。持“功大于過論”者認為“新政”在美國歷史上基本上是一種進步現(xiàn)象，首先，“新政”挽救了危機，使美國人民擺脫了危機的困苦局面；其次，在缺少足夠的宏觀經(jīng)濟政策知識的時代，羅斯福所做的努力確實是開創(chuàng)性的；再次，羅斯?！靶抡遍_啟了美國以后歷屆政府實施國家干預(yù)政策的大門，成為緩解自由主義經(jīng)濟制度之弊病的一劑良方，并在實質(zhì)上加強了美國聯(lián)邦政府的權(quán)威；最后，在30年代資本主義世界經(jīng)濟危機的背景下，同日本、德國為轉(zhuǎn)嫁危機而發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭的策略相比，“新政”無疑代表了一種進步、民主的解救危機方式。持“過大于功論”者認為“新政”未能使美國走出蕭條、步入繁榮。

畫中的諸多圖像反映了畫家對于傳統(tǒng)繪畫因素的吸收。那個懷抱死去孩子的母親圖像，似乎是源自哀悼基督的圣母像傳統(tǒng)；手持油燈的女人，使人聯(lián)想起自由女神像的造型；那個高舉雙手仰天驚呼的形象，與戈雅畫中愛國者就義的身姿不無相似之處；而那個張臂倒地的士兵形象，則似乎與意大利文藝復(fù)興早期某些戰(zhàn)爭畫中的形象，有著姻親關(guān)系。由此可以看出，畢加索不僅是一位富于叛逆精神的大膽創(chuàng)新者，同時也是一位尊崇和精通傳統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)家。教師須強調(diào)：現(xiàn)代主義美術(shù)是現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派的總稱，現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派眾多，多姿多彩，但它們也表現(xiàn)出許多共同的特征。在技法上，它們大都反對傳統(tǒng)的寫實主義，追求新奇，空間結(jié)構(gòu)錯亂，色彩配置隨意，點線紊亂，缺乏透視可謂它們共有的特點。在創(chuàng)作主旨上，它們都主張強調(diào)自我，表現(xiàn)個人情感和內(nèi)心世界?？梢哉f，現(xiàn)代美術(shù)藝術(shù)再現(xiàn)了20世紀西方世界的精神狀況。

3、文化是人們的一種素養(yǎng)（1）人的文化素養(yǎng)是在社會生活、實踐中形成的。每個人所具有的文化素養(yǎng)，不是天生的，而是通過對社會生活的體驗，特別是通過參與文化生活、接受知識文化教育而逐步培養(yǎng)出來的。文化素養(yǎng)的形成，離不開生活、實踐和教育。人們在社會實踐中創(chuàng)造和發(fā)展文化，也在社會生活中獲得和享用文化。（2）人的文化素養(yǎng)表現(xiàn)在日常言行中。教師活動：引導(dǎo)學(xué)生閱讀教材7頁“公交車漫畫”材料，并思考所反映的問題學(xué)生活動：積極思考并討論問題教師點評：人們的精神活動離不開物質(zhì)活動，人們的文化素養(yǎng)總是要通過他在日常生活中的言行、在社會實踐活動中的表現(xiàn)等表現(xiàn)出來。我們通過觀察人們的社會行為，就可以從中透視人們的精神世界和精神生活。4、文化的傳承和發(fā)展離不開物質(zhì)載體。社會文化和精神產(chǎn)品離不開物質(zhì)載體，一個時代的文化和精神產(chǎn)品，往往是這一時代社會發(fā)展軌跡的反映。
