Welcome back family. I hope that your Spring Break was fun, exciting, restful, or whatever you hoped it would be. Just to give you a "heads up" there are a mere two weeks left in term three so hopefully there'll be no Spring Break sleepy heads around this week. On to the show...
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll start the class with some notes on the three types of plate margins/boundaries. We'll look at Convergent boundaries (ocean - ocean; ocean - continent; and continent - continent), Divergent boundaries (in the ocean and on land), and Transform boundaries. We'll look at the geologic events that happen and features that are created at these boundaries. After we'll finish the Amazing Planet DVD we started before Spring Break. For more on Plate Boundaries look at the following:
A & D - Criminology 12 - Today we will have our last journal entry. Last week we looked at white collar and corporate crime and today I'd like you to work on a journal entry based on questions in the textbook (and the documentary "The Corporation" that we saw on Friday). I'd like you to answer the question "Can Corporations Commit Murder?" If a corporation is considered as a person in law (as it is in the US) who can be held liable (responsible) if a corporation kills people? Use questions 1 & 2 from page 285 as well as question 1 from page 291 in your Criminology the Core textbook to help. Find an example of a story where a company was held responsible for the death of people and use it to support your ideas. Check out the following: Redefining Corporate Crime (look at the bullet points half way through the article) Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (a law in the UK) Corporate Crime Reporter Top 100 Corporate Criminals (most are fraud, antitrust and financial) Newser (news stories about corporate crime)
C - Geography 12 - Today we'll look at Mass Wasting (falls, slides, and flows). We will figure out the causes of Mass Wasting by looking at both the driving and resisting forces on hillsides and slopes. We will try to figure out some slope stabilization practices and specifically we'll look at what has been done at Goose Spit to stop erosion of the Willemar Bluffs along Balmoral Beach. We'll also review the problems of the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99 from West Vancouver to Squamish). You will define rock fall, debris avalanche, landslide, mudflow, and soil creep and work on questions 27 & 32 from page 443 in your Geosystems text. SWEET Landslide video from National Geographic
