Today's schedule is ABCD
A & D Blocks Human Geography - Today we'll look at the key question Where Are States Distributed? “Old School” geography often required you to memorize countries and their capitals. Human geographers now emphasize a thematic approach. We are concerned with the location of activities in the world, the reasons for spatial distributions, and the significance of those arrangements. Despite this change in emphasis, you still need to know the locations of countries. Without such knowledge, you lack a basic frame of reference—knowing where things are. From the 90's (including countries that don't exist anymore):
We'll look at the United Nations, then three examples of places that test the definition of a state Korea (North and South), China (Taiwan/Chinese Taipei), and Western Sahara (Sahrawi Republic) and finally we'll examine Arctic sovereignty. You'll have some questions to answer for me
B Block Criminology - Today we are in the library to begin our work on the media literacy component of our course. Once you log on to the computers go to the two links below then work through (by responding to the post and to each other). How Much Media do you Consume? followed by the question on Why is it important to study crime media?
Be sure to read all that I am asking you to answer (there are two questions for the "How Much..."thread). For Media consumption consider the following...
Look at this Kaiser Family Foundation study from 2010; it will give us a good idea about amounts of media youth consume (Generation M2) . Last Thursday I asked you to write down what media format you interacted with for a time period throughout the day and to guesstimate how much time you interacted with it. I know that you are a generation of multi-taskers (and that you are interacting with this blog right now) so try to be as honest as you can about what you consume/interact with.
For the "Why is it important..."thread please consider the following:
We're not seeing more police shootings, just more news coverage
Canadians still wildly overestimating the level of violent crime
