C Block Criminology - Today we start our week long look at the Casey Anthony trial and media coverage in the United States. In June 2008 Casey's daughter Caylee went missing and was found dead later that December. Due to inconsistencies in her story, her delay in reporting her child missing, and increased public pressure and scrutiny, Casey was charged with Caylee's murder. A ferocious media storm ensued and Casey Anthony's trial was conducted both in a Florida courtroom and the national media in June 2011.


So this week we'll try to make sense of the crime (Casey and Caylee Anthony), the media's coverage of the crime (particularly Nancy Grace), feminist perspectives on criminology, the bad mother motif, Schadenfreude, and the way fictional crime media represented the story (Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit). Today, I'll give you a handout on the case and we'll go over it together. After that, I'll show you the 48 Hours Mystery episode above "The Untold Story of Caylee Anthony" and we'll talk about it at the end of the video. If Casey Anthony was the most hated mom in America the most hated husband in America was Scott Peterson (who was convicted of murdering his wife and unborn child in 2004)

D Block Law - Today we'll be in the class continuing our look at family law. We'll talk about annulments, divorce, property division and support obligations. We'll look at: the equal division rule and the matrimonial home; spousal support and self sufficiency; and the types of child guardianship, access, and child support and tomorrow we're back in the library for continued work on our major project

A Block Physical Geography - Today we continue our look at the ethics associated with resource use focusing on the four ethical views on resource use (economic/exploitation; preservationist; balanced-multiple use; and ecological or sustainable). We'll finish the Human Footprint DVD and also take a look at:
 




We'll talk about over-consumption and unsustainable resource use practices

B Block Human Geography - Today we'll look at the key question "Where Are People Distributed Within Urban Areas"? We'll look at three North American models of urban development: The concentric zone model; the sector model; and the multiple nuclei model. I'll have you annotate information about the three models in your Week 17-18 package...



I'll also have you look at the differences between North American, European and Latin American city development.
