Today's schedule is D-C-Lunch-A-B
C - Criminology 12 - Today we are going to the library to work on our next blog / journal entry. Below, you'll find a question on hypermasculinity, male socialization, and sexual assault. I will need you to answer that question and then find a news story about a sexual assault. You will need to try to explain the motivation and roots of the behaviour of the assaulter in the story.
Explain how sexual behaviour could be socialized in males. Do you think that males who commit sexual assault are "hypermasculine"? Why and where do men learn "hypermasculine" behaviour? Is there a cultural difference between males and females who commit sexual assaults?
The factors that predispose men to commit sexual assault include evolutionary factors, male socialization, psychological abnormality, and social learning. Most criminologists believe that rape is not sexually motivated. The evolutionary and biological factors of males suggest that sexual assault may be instinctual and developed over the ages in an effort to perpetuate the species. This notion holds that men who are sexually aggressive will have a reproductive edge over their more passive peers. Conversely, the male socialization view argues that men are socialized to be the aggressors and expect to be sexually active with many women. Sexual insecurity, then, may then lead some men to commit sexual assault to bolster their self-image. Hypermasculine men typically have a callous sexual attitude and believe that violence is manly. Finally, another view is that men learn to commit sexual assaults as they learn any other behaviour.
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll finish the work we began last week on streams and water (only 5 students have handed in their work from this chapter so far). After, we begin our look at Glaciers and the work that they do to change the landscape. We'll look at the difference between Alpine and Continental glaciers along with the ways that glaciers erode the landscape. Finally we will try to make sense of the causes of ice ages. You will need to define the following terms: firn, alpine glacier, continental glacier, glacial striation, cirque, horn, arete, fjord, till, terminal moraine, drumlin, and esker. You will also need to complete "For Review" question 12 on page 332.

Today glaciers, tomorrow deserts, Wednesday and Thursday oceans, Friday library....next Monday (a week from today) Surface processes unit final.
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we will continue to work on the Explorers Map that we began last Friday. Your map is due this Wednesday and I will not be giving you any further class time to work through this assignment after today. Please make sure you have your first contact questions & Metis/Selkirk settlement questions (Battle of Seven Oaks) in to me today (q 2, 4, 5, 8, 12 p. 99 along with compare/contrast of the HBC & NWC).
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
