D Block Criminology 12 - Today we will spend a few minutes reviewing our discussion of violence from yesterday. We'll look at the difference between serial and mass murder and then try to understand a little bit about psychopathology. To better understand the people that commit heinous acts of murder, we'll take the class to understand what a "psychopath" is. Too often people throw the term psycho around without really understanding what it means so we'll look at Dr. Robert Hare's PCL-R (Psychopathy Checklist Revised). The diagnosis "Psychopath" is closely related to Antisocial Personality Disorder in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th Edition). We'll end the class looking at the motivations of mass and serial murder and dispel the myths surrounding those who commit them. After I'll have you watch a Law & Order Criminal Intent episode "Jones" about a psychopathic killer. From Wapedia...
In this episode, Detective Goren and Eames are investigating the death of a pretty, petite woman found drowned in her bathtub.
The detectives go to work, turning down a more high-profile case because this one looks interesting. Suddenly, they find themselves awash when a second victim is another petite woman found naked and washed up on shore just days apart. Goren quickly deduces she, too, was drowned in a bathtub. But the case turns out even bigger as a third body is found, with similar body type and strangled but not drowned. Later, a fourth woman is killed.
The investigation leads Goren and Eames to an abusive, cocaine-addicted lawyer. The connection is that the women were his clients and he also was taking them for a significant amount of money to help feed his gambling addictions. The detectives dig into the case, knowing that he has one more unknown victim remaining on his list. Since Goren and Eames are unable to get help from his wife, they race in a desperate attempt to save the potential victim.
C Block Geography 12 - Today we look at mesoscale convective complexes and tornadoes. I'll show you some footage of a tornado captured on video by a Kansas television crew. This footage was actually detrimental to tornado safety as most people who saw it assumed that a highway overpass provides shelter and safety.
This proved deadly with the May 3, 1999 Moore Oklahoma F5 tornado. We'll also watch footage of the Moore tornado and see the damage it wrought. We'll watch the wind episode from the BBC Series "The Weather" and hear from a man that survived a direct strike from an EF5 tornado. At the end of the class you will need to work on questions 15 and 16 from page 248 of your Geosystems textbook.
B Block Law 12 - Today we will go over the elements necessary for a negligence case to move forward. We will understand: Duty of Care; Standard of Care (including foreseeability and the reasonable person's test); Causation; and Actual Loss (real loss or injury). Included in this will be understanding the legal principle res ipsa loquitur (the facts speak for themselves). We'll go over the precedent setting Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932) case along with a few other negligence related cases in the All About Law textbook and then you'll have time to continue working on your case study project.
A Block Social Studies 11 -Today we'll finish looking at the shift in Canadian culture from the 1950's through to the 1980's. We'll look at the CBC, the Massey Commission and the CRTC. We'll look at Medicare and social welfare programs. We'll look at the changes to immigration in Canada, the points system and multiculturalism. This will lead us to our look next week at divisive issues within Canada concerning Quebec and the First Nations in our country. Today, you'll need to work on question 2, 3, 5 and 6 from page 167 of the Counterpoints text.
