Room 611: Friday, March 15. 2024

Today's schedule is BADC

B Block Legal Studies - Today you'll have time to work on your questions from yesterday, After a bit, we will watch a Law & Order episode on Alzheimer's disease and the required Mens Rea for a crime to be committed ("Sundown" episode 9 from Season 10).

Is a man with Alzheimer's Disease competent enough to stand trial for murder? And if he is found guilty, should he be subjected to the near-inhumane conditions common for prisoners of his type?

Are Persons With Dementia Responsible for Crimes They Commit?

Family Annihilator Mass Murderer

Pseudocommando Mass Murderer

Disgruntled Employee Mass Murderer

For the motives feel free to use Violence Expressed through Mass Murder by Joseph A. Davis, Ph.D and Profiles in Terror: The Serial Murderer by Holmes, R. M., & DeBurger, J. E. ALSO feel free to use your Criminology textbook (Table 10.2 page 210 of CRIM by Siegel, Brown and Hoffman)

We'll finish watching The Psychopath Next Door

The Psychopath Next Door from Adriaan Bakker on Vimeo.

D Block Physical Geography - We're in the library for project finishing time and also...

It's aloha time family, we'll take the class to work on the Koko Head (Hawai'i Kai) topographic map assignment in your Canadian Landscape topographic map textbook (Pages 145-147).

The scale of the map is 1:24000 which means 1 cm = 240m (.24km)
The contour interval is 40' (12.12m)

1. Study topographic map 1 and describe the relief from west to east across the upper half of the map

a) what is the length and width (in kilometers) of the map? What is the total area (in kilometers squared)
b) Determine the road distance (in kilometers) from BM16 in Hawaii Kai to the park in the northeast. What do you think is the significance of the white area crossed by Lunalilo Home Road?
c) Determine the road distance (in kilometers) from Holy Trinity School near Kuliouou to Halona Point. Suggest some factors that posed difficulties for the construction of State Highway 72

2. On map 1 and Photo 3 locate and name three other craters in Koko Head Park. How are they indicated on the map? How do they compare in size relative to Koko crater? Does Hanauma Bay qualify as a caldera and if so, why?

3. Identify the features labelled A to E on stereo photo 3.

a) What indicates that Koko crater has been inactive for some time?
b) What is the area (in kilometers squared) of Hanauma Bay? What do you think makes it an interesting site for an underwater park?

5. a) Along line XY, measure the distance (in km) from the shoreline to the outer edge of the coral reef. What is the average width of the reefs in Maunalua Bay on map 1?
b) What is the greatest depth at which coral has formed a reef in Maunalua Bay on Map 1?
c) Find the wide break in the coral reef southwest of Kuapa Pond and suggest reasons for this gap
d) Refer to map 1 to identify the features labelled F to H on photo 5.

6. Is map 1 or photo 3 more recent? How can you tell?
a/b) Locate an area of land reclamation on the map and photo, explain why reclamation projects are needed in this area.

7. From a study of both the map and the photos, suggest how the settlement pattern has been influenced by topography
a) How has this pattern influenced population density in localized areas?
b) How has the topography created problems for highway planning? Why might traffic congestion be a problem along the shoreline highway?

C Block Human Geography - Today we are back in the learning commons / library for our next day of work on your immigrant/migration project. Remember, 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 need to produce a thorough written summary of your personal migration (A.K.A. Diary or Reflection journal or Newspaper article) or an audio podcast, a news video, an online blog, or whatever format you feel best tells your story. Good luck.
