B Block Human Geography - Today we'll look at the Key Question: Where Is the World’s Population Distributed? Human beings are not distributed uniformly across Earth’s surface. We can understand how population is distributed by examining two basic properties - concentration and density. Today we'll examine where populations are concentrated looking at the concept of ecumene. Lastly we'll look at density in terms of arithmetic, physiological and agricultural forms. You've got three questions to answer for me today:
- Why isn’t North America one of the four major population clusters?
- On the map in the week 3 package...use the maps on page 47 to prepare a sketch map that shows non-ecumene and very sparsely inhabited lands (remember map basics!)
- In terms of food supply, which combination of measures of density is most important when considering whether a country’s population is too large? Why?
You'll have tomorrow's class to work through this assignment as well. Here are a few webpages to help:

D Block Law -First please take some time to finish yesterday's work on Section 2 of the Charter (Fundamental Freedoms). Today I'll have you work on questions 1-4 of the Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007) on page 44 in the text and I'd also like you to work on question 3 from page 46 which deals with the R. v. Keegstra (1990) and R. v. Butler (1992) cases.

C Block Criminology - So, yesterday we came up with a list of things that are deviant but not criminal and a list of things that are criminal but not deviant. Today, I need to take one act from either list and explain why it should be criminalized or why it should be decriminalized. This should be based on an evaluation of harm...in other words how deviant or not is the action? If the action would cause great social harm then perhaps we should criminalize that behaviour. If the action causes minimal social harm then perhaps we should decriminalize that behaviour. So, I'm looking for you to justify your response and you may use the text for help if you need it. We'll start with time to work on this.
Next, I'd like you to choose 5 Violent, 5 Property and 5 Social crimes in Canada, from the lists below, and identify if you think they are on the increase, decrease or are steady.
