Today's schedule is DCBA

D & A Block Legal Studies - Today will be our last day in the learning commons for our Human Rights poster. I have poster paper for your Human Rights project and I'll give you the paper once I've seen your ideas (a rough sketch). Remember you need to create a visually appealing Human Rights Campaign Poster that addresses the human rights violation by incorporating key information (What is happening? Where is it taking place? What rights are being violated? Who is having their rights violated? Why are their rights being violated?) as well as pictures, symbols, and colours. Your poster should seek to draw the attention of the public through the balanced combination of text and visuals in a creative, yet educational manner!

C Block Criminology - We'll continue our look at sexual assault today. I need you to answer the question:

Identify and explain the causes for sexual assault

You'll need to look at evolutionary and biological factors (remember Sigmund Freud's Thantos and Eros or instinctual drives that allowed species to be successful)? Look at modern male socialization (boys are taught to be aggressive, forceful, tough, and dominating...think about how boys play when they're young) and then at hypermasculinity (where some men have callous sexual attitudes and believe that violence is "manly"). Lastly consider both violent experiences (remember that those boys who were exposed to violence in the household are more likely to commit violent acts when they grow older) and sexual motivation (social, cultural, and psychological forces...think about the messages hidden in Axe body spray commercials). What message does this commercial send to people...

Now consider what the commercial indicates about sex in modern society. Who is the commercial targeted at and what are the sexual roles in the commercial.

And if you're still struggling with consent...

Why Do Men Sexually Assault Women? Sexual violence against women manifests, rather than violates, society’s norms

B Block Human Geography - Today we'll try to answer the Key Questions Why Do People Migrate and Where Do People Migrate Within a Country? To do this we'll look at push and pull factors along with the difference between a refugee and an internally displaced person. I'll have you fill in a chart on push/pull factors and then we'll look at internal rather than international migration (migration within a country). The text talks about Russia, Canada, China, and Brazil so you'll need to fill in a chart on these 4 case studies of internal migration. Lastly we'll look at (and yep you've got a thing to do on it) urbanization, suburbanization, and counterurbanization.
