Day 80 - Wednesday January 19. 2011

C - Law 12 - Today we'll continue looking at the black comedy of The War of the Roses, based on the book by Warren Adler. In the movie, we'll see how a relationship can stagnate and break down over time due to a lack of communication and respect and then try to understand how two seemingly intelligent and mature people can devolve into the malaise that ensues. Don't forget that Tomorrow is the multiple choice section of your in-class exam.

D - Geography 12 - Today we continue our look at the ethics associated with resource use, going back to the week 17 package. We'll start with the Ecuador case study.

After, we'll watch Home, an incredible documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand who also helped to initiate a foundation called Good Planet. Please take some time to share this movie with as many family and friends as you can. You can watch it on line at the YouTube homeproject's channel or connect with it on the film's Facebook page.

The movie starts with a simple statement and I want you to listen carefully to what the narrator tells you...

Listen to me, please. You're like me, a homo sapiens. A wise human. Life; a miracle in the universe appeared around 4 billion years ago and we humans only 200,000 years ago, yet we have succeeded in disrupting the balance so essential to life. Listen carefully to this extraordinary story, which is yours, and decide what you want to do with it...

A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we'll start with looking at searches (with and without a warrant) and pre-trial releases. Next we'll look at the court levels here in BC. We'll us the Courts of BC website to help us make sense of the court levels and figure out what types of cases are heard. After we'll look at the trial of an indictable offence.
