Today's schedule is CDAB

C Block Criminology - Today I want you to back in your pod/groupings so that you can try to see where your crime theory categorized clusters (similar categories) fit in terms of Choice, Trait, Social Structure, Social Learning, and Conflict theories. After this, we'll begin our look at the nature vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology (from B.C.E up to and including the current theories,which will help you with your first activity in the course). I'll give you a handout to help you with crime theories and tomorrow we'll talk about what your first activity will be.

D & A Blocks Legal Studies - Today, we will continue our discussion on why we have laws and figure out the difference between what is legal what is moral and what is ethical...hint look at yesterday's entry :) We'll then jump in to our Introduction to Law unit by looking at the five functions of law and the divisions of Public (criminal, constitutional, and administrative) and Private law (tort, family, contract, property, and labour law). Lastly we'll take a look at the differences between Substantive and Procedural Law.

B Block Human Geography - Yesterday we looked at our first key question, "How do Geographers describe where things are?" So to help check out this video about GPS and Atomic Clocks
