Today's schedule is D-AG-C-B-A
D Block Criminology 12 -
Today I'd like you to read through the "Nature of Victimization" on pages 53-5 and
57-58 and "Theories of Victimization" dealing with Victim Precipitation,
Lifestyle, and Routine Activities on pages 59-62 in the CRIM text.
After discussing these sections your job will be to complete the
following:
1. Briefly outline and explain the patterns we've identified
in victimization (social ecology, household, personal characteristics and repeat
victimization)
2. Explain and compare the three theories of crime
victimization (as a comparison chart or Venn diagram)
C & A Blocks Social Studies 10 - Today is your Map, Geography, and Canadian Physiographic Regions unit final. You
have as much time in today's class to complete the test as necessary but it
should take no more than 45-50 minutes. If you came prepared I am certain that
you will do fine. When you're done the test we'll review 4000 years of "human
history" in 25 minutes...strap on your seat belts family! We are doing this to
get us up to speed on the early 19th Century in Canada.
B Block Law 12 - Today we'll examine the collective rights of Canada's Aboriginal/First Nations people.
We'll talk about the significance of the Calder
v. Attorney-General of British Columbia, 1973 decision. From the Agreements, Treaties and Negotiated Settlements
Project:
The decision in Calder v Attorney-General of
British Columbia was handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada on 31
January 1973. It is often credited with having provided the impetus for the
overhauling of the land claims negotiation process in Canada. The case was
initiated in 1968 by the Nisga'a Tribal Council against the Government of
British Columbia. It failed both at trial and in the Court of Appeal. The
Supreme Court overturned the Court of Appeal's finding in recognising the
possible existence of Aboriginal rights to land and resources, but was equally
divided on the issue of whether the Nisga'a retained title. The decision
prompted the federal government to develop new policy to address Aboriginal land
claims. In 1976 Canada commenced negotiations with the Nisga'a Tribal Council.
British Columbia did not join the negotiations until 1990. The Nisga'a Final
Agreement was concluded in 1999 and implemented by legislation in
2000.
After, we'll talk about the LGBT community in Canada and the Civil
Marriage Act (which legalized same-sex marriage in Canada on July 20, 2005) and
finally we'll take a closer look at Human Rights and how they are enforced in
Canada.
To finish, I'll have you work on: Questions 1-4 on page
94:
1. Explain the difference between civil
rights and human rights.
2. How do
prejudice and stereotyping lead to discrimination?
3. Explain the difference between a complainant and a
respondent.
4. What is the difference
between intentional and unintentional discrimination?
Questions 4
& 5 from page 97
4. Explain the concept
of a poisoned work environment. Provide an example.
5. Explain the difference between accommodation and
undue hardship.
AND Question 5 from page 104
5. What types of remedies are available under human
rights law?
