B Block Criminology - Today we are back in the library to work on our sex trade questions. To curb the power of cartels or gangs should we take some radical action? Should we cut off their source of income (like drugs and sex trade workers)? Here is another question for you to answer:
- Should prostitution/the sex trade be legalized? Why? If you believe it should be legalized, should all the forms of prostitution described in your text be legalized, or only a select few? If prostitution/the sex trade were legalized should government be able to exercise some control over it? How...what would that look like?
For the sex trade question "Should we legalize prostitution"? Think about the two opposing views:
- Sexual Equality View - The sex trade worker is a victim of male dominance. In patriarchal societies, male power is predicated on female subjugation, and prostitution is a clear example of this gender exploitation
- Free Choice View - The sex trade, if freely chosen, expresses woman’s equality and is not a symptom of subjugation.
A Block Physical Geography - Today you have the block to finish your work on the Medicine Hat Topographic map. You need your Canadian Landscape topographic map book and the Medicine Hat map can be found on pages 40-42. You will need to work on questions 1 a, b and d, 2 a&b, 3 a-e, 4, 7 a-d and 8 (PLEASE NOTE...I've added questions 4 & 8 to your work). You can find topographic maps of Medicine Hat on Google Maps (Type in Medicine Hat Alberta on a Google search and click on maps at the top and then choose "Terrain" as an option). For other maps and information on Medicine Hat that will help you with some of the topographic map assignment questions check out Tourism Medicine Hat
The meander belt is the region within which a river's channel actively migrates, while the floodplain is the broader, flat area subject to flooding. The width of a meander belt and a floodplain can be similar, but floodplains can be significantly wider than the meander belt. The width of the meander belt is influenced by the valley's confinement, while the floodplain's width can be influenced by the overall valley shape and the extent of alluvial deposits. Generally, the meander belt is considered to be 15 to 18 times the width of the river channel. For meandering streams, the belt width should be at least 3.5 times the bankfull width, however local factors like geology, vegetation, and floodplain conditions can cause the meander belt to vary in width.

Quiz Review:
Weathering & MW: Names of MW (Big 3 – flows slides and falls – speed and consistency); Chemical & Physical Weathering (Frost Action, Oxidation & Solution – Carbonation); Karst (Carbonation created it – found in limestone) along with features (stalagmite & stalactite); Slopes – causes of slope failure
H2O & Streams: Water Cycle terminology (condensation, evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, percolation, infiltration, aquifer); Where is most of fresh water?; Transportation of sediment in water (bed load & suspended load); Young – mature – old profile (what’s going on in terms of erosion & deposition) and features of young & old; Deltas (4 types); Floods (causes, damages, impact); Cross section of a river (meandering profile)
Coasts, Glaciers & Deserts: Longshore Drift (swash & backwash); Types of coastlines and features (depositional- spit/barrier bar vs erosional Cave-Arch-Stack); Continental vs Alpine erosion (scouring & plucking) – features cirque, horn (pyramidical peak) & hanging valley, U Shaped valley & fjord Deposition – moraines Deserts – erosion (Aeolian) & transportation & desertification (increasing sizes of deserts – causes)
