Thursday, June 10. 2021

Today's classes are:

9:15 - 11:50 C Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 B Block Human Geography

C Block Legal Studies - Your two criminal law memos are due Monday. So, you have this morning in the Learning Commons to work on them. Don't forget for your discussion section consider the principles of sentencing (deterrence, retribution, rehabilitation, resocialization, and segregation); the options for sentencing; along with considerations in sentencing; and finally sentencing, healing, and releasing circles. Try to identify the best choices among: absolute discharge, conditional discharge, probation, mitigating circumstances, aggravating circumstances, suspended sentence, concurrent sentence, consecutive sentence, intermittent sentence, indeterminate sentence. Don't waste time, use your time today to drill down on the issues at hand and get your two memos finished.

B Block Human Geography - Today we look at the Key Question: Where Are Languages Distributed? Ethnologue estimates that the world has an estimated 7,102 languages...11 of which are spoken by at least 100 million people each (including English with the others being German, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, Japanese, Lahnda, and Mandarin).

In Canada more than 200 languages were reported in the 2011 Canadian Census of Population as a home language or mother tongue. Quite obviously English and French are the most widely spoken languages however Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi-Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish are also widely spoken. According to the 2011 Census, almost 213,500 people reported an Aboriginal mother tongue and nearly 213,400 people reported speaking an Aboriginal language most often or regularly at home (Language families include Algonquian, Inuit, Athapaskan, Salish, Tsimshian, Wakashan, Kutenai, Haida and Michif). You'll need to look at language families from pages 146-149 of the Cultural Landscape book in order to fill in a chart for me.
