D & A Blocks Human Geography - Today is the last day in the library/learning commons for you to continue your work on the food/recipe project. You'll have no more blocks of time in the library to finish up this. Don't forget you'll need to write two paragraphs on how the region’s food (where your recipe is from) has been influenced by diffusion/ migration (the Old Silk Road or Columbian Exchange). Discuss the climate and land use of the region where your ethnic dish is from. Remember to use your geographic terminology regarding diffusion (relocation, hierarchical, contagious, expansion and stimulus). If you are done then you may work on your Inquiry Project.
Don't forget please bring your food with you tomorrow for our geo food feast!
B Block Criminology - Today, we'll watch the Law & Order Los Angeles episode "Hollywood". This episode combined three separate pop culture story stories/themes.
- First is the Bling Ring, the crew of Southern California teenyboppers who burgled celebrity homes by tracking their marks’ whereabouts via the Internet. The band of seven, which included E! reality star Alexis Neiers, burglarized the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Rachel Bilson, Audrina Patridge and Paris Hilton, who was reportedly robbed a total of five times by the group.
- Second is the Brody Jenner type reality TV star, an L.A. rich kid who dated his way into pseudo-stardom.
- Third, there is a version of the Lindsay-Dina Lohan mommy-daughter psychodrama, complete with lots of heavy talk about living through/off your children.
- Have you ever perceived anomie if so what and why? What causes anomie? Is there more than one cause of strain?
- Have you ever been given a negative label, and, if so, did it cause you social harm? How did you lose the label, or did it become a permanent marker that still troubles you today?
- Is conflict inevitable in all cultures? If not, what can be done to reduce the level of conflict in our own society?
