C - Criminology 12 - Today we'll start with our final quiz in the course (white collar crime and property crime). Once we've finished the quiz we'll move on to social order crimes, starting with what "obscenity" means. After we discuss moral entrepreneurs (crusaders) and then we will deal with the issue of prostitution in Canada. We will understand the different types of prostitutes (street walkers, circuit travelers, bar girls, brothels, call girls and escort services). We'll look at some high profile cases (former New York state governor Eliot Spitzer) and examine the reasons why people turn to prostitution. Next we'll examine the laws in Canada on obscenity - as related to pornography (Criminal Code section163 subsection 8 and the community standards of tolerance test) and ask the question "Does pornography cause violence?" Tomorrow, we'll spend some time looking at substance abuse and then you have the rest of the class and the week to work on your final project. For help understanding just how far sex has infiltrated our modern society take a look at the article on canoe.ca about teen girls trading sex for favours.
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we will be in the library to begin word processing our confederation essay that we've been preparing for. Yesterday I helped you write your introductory paragraph and now you'll need to continue with the main body of the essay. Don't forget that in essence you're stating "what" each topic is and "why" it pushed the colonies to unite to form Canada. You'll have today - Friday in the library to complete this task.
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll look at earthquakes in class and we'll try to understand the motions that occur when a rupture takes place. We'll look at P and S seismic body waves as well as surface seismic waves. We'll also understand the difference between Mercalli, Moment Magnitude, and Richter scales. If there's time remaining, we'll focus on locating the source of earthquakes and complete a related activity. For the last part of class, you'll need to work on "For Review" questions 1, 3, 5, and 7 from pages 167 & 168 in your Earth Science and the Environment textbook.
