9:15 - 11:50 C Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 B Block Human Geography
C Block Legal Studies - Today we'll look at the three sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that limit your individual rights (Reasonable Limits, Notwithstanding Clause and Where the Charter Applies). After, we'll see what rights that you have guaranteed through various legal documents in Canada (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms the Canadian Human Rights Act and the BC Human Rights Code a great BC Human Rights Code pdf/booklet can be found here). Next in partners I'll have you work on the R. v. Oakes (1986) case (discuss it in partners do not write the answers) which established the "Oakes Test" in Canadian law which allows reasonable limitations on rights and freedoms through legislation if it can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. We'll chat about it afterwards.

B Block Human Geography - Today we'll talk about the arrangement of people and activities found in space and try to understand why those people and activities are distributed the way they are. We'll figure out what density, distribution, concentration and pattern have to do with people an activities on the Earth's surface. Along with this we'll look at connections, diffusion, interaction and hearths in order to see how people and activities impact and are impacted by each other (through spatial interaction and networks). I'll have some definitions for you to work on for me. Consider the Cultural Diffusion of Hip Hop...from Icon Collective
Hip hop is a subculture and an art movement that emerged from the Bronx in New York City during the early 1970s. Its development reflected the negative effects of post-industrial decline, political discourse, and a rapidly changing economy. The global influence of hip hop culture has shaped music styles, fashion, technology, art, entertainment, language, dance, education, politics, media, and more.
So the cultural hearth of Hip Hop is NYC in the 1970's...as exemplified by kickin' it old school with Grandmaster Flash
Hip Hop as a musical artform diffused hierarchically throughout the United States (originally in New York and LA) then through a stimulus diffusion throughout Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Memphis, Detroit, D.C., Philadelphia, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New Orleans where it was changed by the adopters to reflect their local cultures.
The History and Geography of Hip HopFinally, in your Week one package I've asked you to plot the following fast food restaurant chains on the map provided: McDonalds, Tim Horton’s, Starbucks, A&W, and Subway (don’t forget essentials…I’ve given you scale but you need a legend, a title and direction). After you'll need to answer the question:
What pattern exists and why are the fast food restaurants located in that pattern (give at least three reasons – use the concepts of site, situation, and region in your response along with density, distribution, and concentration)
