A Block Physical Geography - Today we are watching one of the best/worst disaster movies of all time...Dante's Peak (oh Bond...James Bond I mean Dalton...Harry Dalton of the USGS Cascade Volcano Observatory you dedicated vulcanologist yet tortured soul). You will have a series of questions to answer about the volcanology in the movie (they are in your week 7 package). Believe it or not there are actually some good things about the movie. I'm a big fan of the lahars and the pyroclastic flow is a fairly decent recreation. What I really want is a truck that can drive over top and through a lava flow like the US Forest Service truck in the movie...That would be sweet! Seriously though there are too many errors in science to count but you'll need to try to identify a few. We'll finish the movie Tuesday.B Block Human Geography -Today our Key Question to address is "Where are Folk and Popular Material Culture Distributed?" I'm hoping that you are seeing some consistent themes in Human Geography this year. Remember that folk culture is traditionally practiced primarily by small, homogeneous groups living in isolated rural areas while popular culture is found in large, heterogeneous societies. Folk culture is influenced heavily by the environment that it develops in while popular culture depends less on the environment because it diffuses on a larger scale (globalization). With the larger globalized scale of popular culture (becoming more dominant), the survival of unique folk cultures is threatened...This is one of the themes I hope you are starting to see.
So...Customs in folk culture (such as provision of food, clothing, and shelter) are clearly influenced by the prevailing climate, soil, and vegetation (utilizing localized resources). Today we'll look at clothing, and then focus on the tragic story of Sulli
From the National Public Radio article Sudden Death Of A Young K-Pop Star Spurs Talk Of Action On Mental Health, Bullying
Women in the K-pop industry are particularly scrutinized and harassed accordingly online — whether for reading a book that allegedly promotes feminism, for wearing clothes that are too scandalous on stage, or even just for sporting a phone case that reads, "Girls can do anything." These types of "scandals" have been exacerbated as Korea experiences both a growing feminist movement and a backlash against it. Sulli was one of the most outspoken female celebrities on women's issues — after Korea's Supreme Court ruled that abortion should be legalized, she posted a message of support, drawing the ire of many online commentators.This is a strong example of the conflict between folk and global culture. I have a question for you to answer about this in your week 7 work package today.
C & D Blocks Environmental and Social Sciences - Today we set up and conduct the second part of the student vote in the Multi Purpose Room. Grade 11's first and finally the grade 12's. After, we'll secure the ballot boxes and then take them to the returning office (room 115). There, we'll check and then count the votes. I will forward the results to CIVIX and Student Vote Canada.
