Thursday, April 11. 2024

Today's schedule is DCBA

D Block Physical Geography - Today we continue our look at chemical weathering. First, for the first half of class, you'll have time to work on yesterday's questions about slopes, along with physical and chemical weathering. Next we'll focus our attention on karst topography and caves (think Guangxi province in China, Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, and Arecibo in Puerto Rico). If you go to the Geoscape Nanaimo webpage you can find some really good graphic and information about Karst on Vancouver Island (on the left hand panel look at "Our Rock Foundations" and you'll find the subsection on caves and karst).






C Block Human Geography
- Today we'll start with the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown visit to Hawai'i. We are watching this to examine the concept of local (folk) culture through an exploration of what it means to be Hawaiian and the challenges that poses with a global (popular) culture. Living in Hawai'i doesn't make you Hawaiian, it makes you a resident of Hawai'i. So, often people confuse culture and identity and food. You'll have some questions to work on for me


B Block Legal Studies - Today, you'll have time to work on yesterday's questions: 1, 3 & 5 from page 149 AND  2, 3 & 4 from page 154 of the AAL text.

1. Why is there sometimes conflict between the police and the public when arrests are made?

3. Describe in detail the three choices available to police when they believe an offence has been committed.

5. a) How much force may police use when making an arrest?
    b) What can happen if police use too much force?
    c) Should police be forbidden to use any kind of force when making an arrest? Explain.

2. Why is it important to co-operate with the police? Under what circumstances might this not be advisable?

3. For each of the duties of a police officer, state the corresponding right
of a citizen:
a) questioning prior to arrest
b) searching a person before arrest
c) questioning the accused after arrest
d) searching a person after arrest

4. What powers do the police have concerning the following: fingerprinting, requesting a lineup, administering a polygraph test, or collecting a blood sample?

After, we'll look at what a lawful search (not unreasonable) is and find out what search warrants are, how they are obtained and what your rights are connected to searches

A Block Criminology - Today you may work on your shoplifting poster if you're going digital, rather than analogue, please use Canva. Remember, You work for the Retail Council of Canada and have been hired to create a poster campaign about shoplifting. The poster campaign has two purposes:
  1. To help employees identify people who are shoplifting and
  2. To explain how to reduce shoplifting in stores (target hardening and target removal strategies)
Look at the bullet points on page 228-229 in the Criminology text for help. Here are some further ideas and points.....

Spot the Shoplifter: Unfortunately, there is no typical profile of a shoplifter. Thieves come in all ages, races and from various backgrounds. However, there are some signs that should signal a red flag for retailers. While the following characteristics don't necessarily mean guilt, retailers should keep a close eye on shoppers who exhibit the following:
  1. Spends more time watching the cashier or sales clerk than actually shopping.
  2. Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary.
  3. Walks with short or unnatural steps, which may indicate that they are concealing lifted items.
  4. Takes several items into dressing room and only leaves with one item.
  5. Seems nervous and possibly picks up random items with no interest.
  6. Frequently enters store and never makes a purchase.
  7. Enters dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and exits with none.
  8. Large group entering the store at one time, especially juveniles. A member of the group causes a disturbance to distract sales staff.
You may use the rest of the class to complete your poster and will be handed in on Monday for marks. For more check out:
