Today's schedule is BADC

B Block Human Geography - Today we'll try to answer the Key Questions "Where are Migrants Distributed and Why Do People Migrate?" We'll look at the difference between a migrant and a refugee. We'll look at in-migration (immigration to) and out-migration (emigration from) and patterns of international migration. We'll look at a brief history of immigration policy in Canada (Hint hint it's kinda Eurocentric up to the late 1960's), Zelinski's migration transition (what stages of the DTM do we find in and out migration) and lastly push and pull factors for migration. You'll have some work to complete for me in your week 5 package.





A & D Blocks Legal Studies - This is the second last day that I have the library booked for you to work on your Human Rights poster (which is due next Monday March 2nd, 2020). I have poster paper for you 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! If you are looking at children's rights then check out the UN Declaration on the rights of the Child.

C Block Criminology - "Why is violence entertaining"? You have time to work on your questions from last week:

1. What is the attraction of violent films and video games? 
2. Is there more violent imagery in media now as opposed to the past (think graphic, realistic visceral)? Why / Why not? 
3. What kinds of people are drawn to violent imagery and what kind of violent images draw them to that form of entertainment? 
4. What is “morbid curiosity”? 
5. Are there any equally satisfying substitutions for violent entertainment? 
6. What draws our attention to violent media events (news) that are not intended to entertain? 

After, we'll continue our focus on violent crime looking at rape and sexual assault in Canada. We'll examine what a sexual assault is along with the three levels of sexual assault in Canadian Law. After I'd like you to focus on a question about Groth's typology of rapist. Nicholas Groth created a typology based upon the degree of aggression, the underlying motivation of the offender and the existence of other antisocial behaviors, which resulted in four types of rapists.

So, my question is, using the Crim text and this Sex Offender Typology website...

1. Explain the three types of rapist according to Groth (anger-retaliation; power reassurance and assertive; and sadistic)
