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.
C Block Human Geography - Today we'll try to answer the Key Questions Why Do People Migrate and Where Do People Migrate Within a Country? To do this we'll look at push and pull factors along with the difference between a refugee and an internally displaced person. I'll have you fill in a chart on push/pull factors and then we'll look at internal rather than international migration (migration within a country). The text talks about Russia, Canada, China, and Brazil so you'll need to fill in a chart on these 4 case studies of internal migration. Lastly we'll look at (and yep you've got a thing to do on it) urbanization, suburbanization, and counterurbanization.
D Block Physical Geography - Today....Oh today we look at Tsunamis and the west coast of North America. We'll watch sections of the Discovery Channel documentary "America's Tsunami: Are we Next?" and the CBC video (below) Japan's Tsunami: Caught on Camera. You will have some questions to work on tonight in your week three package which are:
Why can tsunamis cause such damage and devastation? What are some characteristics of the wave that factor into how much damage it could cause? How do coastal or shoreline features factor into the extent of damage? What role could a warning system play? How effective would a warning system be for the west coast of Vancouver Island? Why?
A Block Legal Studies - Today will be our second day in the learning commons for our Human Rights poster. I have poster paper for your Human Rights project and I'll give you the paper once I've seen your ideas (a rough sketch). Remember you need to create a visually appealing Human Rights Campaign Poster that addresses the human rights violation by incorporating key information (What is happening? Where is it taking place? What rights are being violated? Who is having their rights violated? Why are their rights being violated?) as well as pictures, symbols, and colours. Your poster should seek to draw the attention of the public through the balanced combination of text and visuals in a creative, yet educational manner!
Graphics can tell your story in a compelling, immediate and powerful way to move your intended audience. So, simplify and summarize a complex story — and add impact through your design. What is your story? What do you want people to see?
How do you know what information to focus on and what to exclude?
Some key questions are:
• What story do you want to tell?
• To whom?
• How do you want to reach them?
What will move your target audience to action?
Consider the story you are telling as well as the tone, style, and format of your message. How it will be read by your target audience? Does your audience have a prior interest in your subject or are you trying to reach a new audience? Different audiences may respond better to different graphic treatments — for example a campaign targeting youth, a rural population or government officials.
Lastly...People will look at your pictures before they read your text, if they read text at all. Graphics have to be self-contained. Put your conclusion right there in the caption. Your graphic poster has to tell a story (if it doesn’t, don’t use it) and your job is to keep redesigning it until the story is as clear as possible.
B Block Criminology - Today we'll continue our focus on violent crime looking at rape and sexual assault in Canada. We'll examine what a sexual assault is along with the three levels of sexual assault in Canadian Law. After I'd like you to focus on a question about Groth's typology of rapist. Nicholas Groth created a typology based upon the degree of aggression, the underlying motivation of the offender and the existence of other antisocial behaviors, which resulted in four types of rapists.
Explain the three types of rapist according to Groth (anger-retaliation; power reassurance and assertive; and sadistic)
After, I need you to answer the question:
Identify and explain the causes for sexual assault
You'll need to look at evolutionary and biological factors (remember Sigmund Freud's Thantos and Eros or instinctual drives that allowed species to be successful)? Look at modern male socialization (boys are taught to be aggressive, forceful, tough, and dominating...think about how boys play when they're young) and then at hypermasculinity (where some men have callous sexual attitudes and believe that violence is "manly"). Lastly consider both violent experiences (remember that those boys who were exposed to violence in the household are more likely to commit violent acts when they grow older) and sexual motivation (social, cultural, and psychological forces...think about the messages hidden in Axe body spray commercials). What message does this commercial send to people...
Now consider what the commercial indicates about sex in modern society. Who is the commercial targeted at and what are the sexual roles in the commercial.
