Today's schedule is B-A-D-C
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - You're back in the library today for your next day to work on the major project for the year. Don't forget that it is your responsibility to create a review of the Earth & Space Science curriculum for a student in grade 7 (12 to 13 years old). After today there are just TWO weeks left in the course to complete your project so please make sure that you use your time wisely.
A & D - Criminology 12 - Today, we'll start by finishing two chapters in the movie "The Corporation" that deal with the pathology of commerce and the corporate mindset. Pay careful attention to Marc Barry, a Competitive Intelligence Professional or more commonly known as a a corporate spy. Listen to what he has to say about corporate greed. After we'll watch the television show White Collar episode Hard Sell which deals with stock manipulation and churning the value of stock in a boiler room (metaphor). From tv.com...
The scam is a "pump and dump", in which a group of "junior Gordon Gekkos" is selling bad stock. The guy in charge buys a large amount of dollar stocks, and has his men inflate the price by selling it over the phone. When the price peaks, guy in charge dumps the stock and leaves the buyers holding worthless shares. The average person loses $30,000, and some victims have lost their homes. The boiler room is mobile, moving to a new location after each stock dump
With the time left in the class you can work on "Can Corporations Commit Murder" questions 1 & 2 from page 285 and question 1 from page 291 of the Criminology: The Core textbook. These questions will form the basis of your final blog entry.
C- Geography 12 - Today we'll continue our look at resources, resource use, and management issues. We'll talk again about renewable and non-renewable resources along with the four ethical views on resource use (economic/exploitation; preservationist; balanced-multiple use; and ecological or sustainable). After, we'll watch the next two sections of the Human Footprint DVD we started yesterday.
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
