A Block Legal Studies - Today we will discuss the difference between criminal and immoral behaviour (crime and deviance)
After that we're going to look at the types of criminal offenses in Canada (summary conviction, indictable, hybrid). We'll examine the elements of a crime: Actus Reus and Mens Rea which come from Actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea which is Latin for “the act will not make a person guilty unless the mind is also guilty.” (with a special focus on Mens Rea - intent, knowledge, and recklessness). After, you'll need to work on questions 1-5 on page 123 and then questions 1-5 on page 130 of the All About Law textbook. Here are some websites to help:

B Block Criminology - Today we are going to the library to work on our next blog / journal entry. Below, you'll find a question on hyper-masculinity, 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 "hyper-masculine"? Why and where do men learn "hyper-masculine" behaviour?
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. Hyper-masculine 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.
Before you write your blog for the day PLEASE read this article: "The conversation you must have with your sons" AND this article "Why campuses are too often the scene of sex crimes" AND check out this TIME article Girls in the U.K. Report Being 'Fetishized' and Sexually Harassed in Their School Uniforms
Then, think about the media we are exposed to in youth...Check out the official Miss Representation website.

C Block Human Geography - Today we'll head off to the library to work on a small migration project. The instructions for this assignment are in the Migration package. This project comes from Mr. Lucas Varley from Lincoln High School in Lincoln, Nebraska. You will imagine yourself in the role of a refugee/migrant who has relocated from one part of the world to another. Your job is to research in detail the many factors that are involved in a migration. You will only be given some basic information regarding your specific migration scenario. It is your job to conduct research to establish realistic demographic information for your scenario. You will need to produce a thorough written summary of your personal migration (A.K.A. Diary or Reflection journal or Newspaper article OR you could make a video or do a podcast but you will need a detailed script for it). Include as much detail as possible. Include images to help your reader gain a fuller understanding of your migration scenario. Please feel free to listen to and examine the stories below:
Migration Scenarios – choose one:
1) You are a refugee from Darfur. You have been relocated to Toronto, Ontario. In Darfur you lived in a small village and do not speak English. You have found a very small group of Sudanese refugees but live quite a far distance from them.
2) You lived on the First Nations Reserve in Lytton British Columbia when a fire ripped through and destroyed the town in 2021. You lived in the Boston Bar for a week until you were relocated to live in Chilliwack. You are expected to quickly find work and find a place on your own.
3) You are an undocumented immigrant from Oaxaca Mexico that has recently relocated to Tucson, Arizona. You usually find day labor working for farmers harvesting crops. Sometimes you are paid only in food.
4) You are a Filipino that has moved to Qatar in the Middle East for work. You have been living and working as a construction worker first in Saudi Arabia and then in Qatar for the last 5 years.
5) You are a Ukranian young mother with two children and have fled the current conflict from Ukraine through Lviv into Poland. You hope to be relocated to London England. You have no skills and are still dependent on state support.
6) You are a small family from Turkey that has recently migrated to Germany. You work at the Frankfurt Airport driving a floor cleaning cart. Your wife and kids still live in Turkey and you are trying to raise money and find a way to bring them to Germany to live with you.

8) You are a young student from Pakistan. You are studying biochemical engineering at Rutgers University. You are a faithful Muslim. You have no affiliation with radical Islamists, but live in an area where some Muslims openly express anti-American sentiments.
9. You are a family of six from Syria (two parents and four children) that a private sponsorship holder (Canadian International Immigrant and Refugee Support Association) has sponsored to settle in Edmonton. In Syria you were a teacher and do not speak English.
10. You are a single woman, opposition party member, from Venezuela complaining vocally about the lack of basic supplies for the citizens of your country. President Maduro and the PSUV have "cracked down" on dissidents and after seeing your fellow politicians arrested, you have fled to Manaus in Brazil.
11. You are a Rohingya Muslim (with a family of four children) who used to live in Myanmar and were forced to leave because of violence against you and your family. You now reside in a Red Crescent encampment, seeking safety, in Cox's Bazaar in Bangladesh
12. You are a 27 year old teacher who, in order to avoid escalating violence and an attack by militia men in your village, walked for weeks from Kasai province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Your wife and children were butchered by the militants and now are an internally displaced person seeking protection and basic assistance in Idiofa in the Kwilu province
13. You are a family of five who are currently displaced in Mindanao, Philippines. You are from Lanao del Sur and have been displaced due to the Marawi siege in May 2017. While displaced families are still struggling to get back to normalcy after the siege, the COVID-19 crisis exacerbated your situation and face challenges on limited access to livelihood opportunities, food and water security, high transportation costs and lack of basic services.
D Block Physical Geography - Today we're in the learning commons / library to begin our research on the Orting College
case study. Should the town of Orting, Washington, build a new college to
attract people to their community or not? What will the impact of increased
population be on the tiny town that sits in the shadows of Mt. Rainier? The
assignment is in both your week 4 package and was adapted from the following website:

A note of caution...
What is the greatest danger to Orting? Of all that could potentially happen at Mount Rainier what poses the greatest threat? Now ask yourself what triggers that threat? What causes it to happen? Last think about the statistical likelyhood of that event happening. How likely is the event to occur in the next 5, 10, 100, or 1000 years? Check out the risk analysis section of the COTF website for help here.
