Todays schedule is ABCD
A Block Criminology - Today we are going to the library to work on our next blog / journal entry. Below, youll 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 .
B Block Physical Geography - I have the learning commons/library reserved for the class so that you may continue working on your Orting college development project. Ask yourself, 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 likelihood 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.
Ill remind you that this assignment is due next Wednesday and it is crucial that you hand it in to me as we will be at the end of our unit. Maybe take a look at this article . Or the video How dangerous are the Northwests Volcanoes?
And more websites to help you with your decision:
Pacific Northwest Volcanoes Among Five Most Dangerous in U.S. We’re Barely Listening to the U.S.’s Most Dangerous Volcanoes How dangerous is Mount Rainier? The Most Dangerous Volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest Hazards of the Cascades Volcanoes Future Eruptions at Mount Rainier How a Mount Rainier eruption could impact Seattle vs. the South Sound Mount Rainier: Active Cascade Volcano (pdf downloadable book)
C/D Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - Today we will start the study of terrestrial systems by taking a close look at what is under our feet. Bedrock to clay and all of the organics we will examine soil and profiles of the forest foundation. In geography, arable land (from Latin arare, to plough) is a form of agricultural land use, meaning land that can be used for growing crops. Of the earths 57 million square miles (148,000,000 km²) of land, approximately 12 million square miles (31,000,000 km²) are arable; however, arable land is being lost at the rate of over 100,000 km² (38,610 square miles) per year.
Our soils support 95 percent of all food production, and by 2060, our soils will be asked to give us as much food as we have consumed in the last 500 years. They filter our water. They are one of our most cost-effective reservoirs for sequestering carbon. They are our foundation for biodiversity. And they are vibrantly alive, teeming with 10,000 pounds of biological life in every acre. Yet in the last 150 years, we’ve lost half of the basic building block that makes soil productive. The societal and environmental costs of soil loss and degradation in the United States alone are now estimated to be as high as $85 billion every single year. Like any relationship, our living soil needs our tenderness. It’s time we changed everything we thought we knew about soil.
So today youll look at arable land
Countries With The Most Arable Land In The World
Earth has lost a third of arable land in past 40 years, scientists say
Our World In Data Land Use
Soil: The Foundation of Agriculture
Im sure youll be doing some sciency things with Benton...
With Young, our key issue today will be Where Did Agriculture Originate? Ill have you look at crop and domesticated animal hearths and have you understand the difference between subsistence and commercial agriculture.
Well look at the Key Issue Where Is Agriculture Distributed? Geographer Derwent Whittlesey mapped the world’s agricultural regions in 1936 which helped lay the foundation for the modern division of the Earth into agriculture regions. The five agriculture regions primarily seen in developing countries are intensive subsistence, wet-rice dominant; intensive subsistence, crops other than rice dominant; pastoral nomadism; shifting cultivation; and plantation. In developed countries agribusiness include mixed crop and livestock; dairying; grain; ranching; Mediterranean; and commercial gardening. Agribusiness is a broad area that includes food production and services related to agribusiness like food processing, packaging, storing, distributing, and retailing. Canada is the 5th largest agricultural exporter in the world, and the agriculture and agri-food industry employs 2.3 million Canadians (thats 1 in 8 jobs).
