September 21


I did a homework check on your Chapter 2 key terms and questions at the beginning of class. I gave you some notes on media transnationals, specifically on the Walt Disney Company, Viacom, and News Corporation. We then talked about some potential advantages and disadvantages of the large concentration of media ownership with so few transnational corporations.
  • Illustrated Concept Map Assignment is due on Monday, September 24th
  • Ch. 1-2 Quiz is on Tuesday, September 25th


Today was essentially a work period designed to allow you to try a clear up some homework assignments and lessen your workload over the weekend. Most students worked on the Chapter 4 questions that are due on Monday, while others worked on preparing/studying for the French Revolution Quiz which is also on Monday.

  • French Revolution Quiz is on Monday, September 24th (here is the study guide)
  • Chapter 4 Questions (Q1-8, Q9, 11, 12, 14, 16) are due on Monday, September 24th
  • DBA #2 is due on Thursday, September 27th

Mr. Gilchrist, I don't really understand the definition of hybridization in the textbook. I was wondering if you could help me out. What is an example of hybridization?

What is the difference between media transnationals and universalization of popular culture?

-------------------------
Okay, remember in class when I talked about the root word hybrid? Well, a hybrid is combining two different things into one (like a hybrid car using two different types of power supply to propel the car). Hybridization is the result of combining two different things into something that is new. An example that I used in class was Afro-Cuban music, which has African musical elements and Cuban elements, it's a fusion of the two to form something unique. You see hybridization in music all the time: combinig Bhangra music with reggae music styles; hip hop/rap music being transported to different countries and it's being changed/influenced and switched into something new, taking musical influences from the local culture. Have you ever heard rap in French or Japanese? That's another example of hybridization. The final example I'll give you is the influence that Japanese animation has had on animation styles in North America; there are some cartoons that are produced in North America that have a strong Japanese influence in their style/layouts/stoytelling. Does this help?

What is the difference between media transnationals and universalization of popular culture?

-------------------------
Media transnationals are corporations (extremely large companies) that own and control the production of books, magazines, newspapers, TV networks and production companies, movie studios and production companies. Universalization of pop culture means the media transnationals produce the majority of TV programs, films, magazines and so on that are consumed by a vast world audience. As I said in class, Viacom, GE, News Corporation, and the Walt Disney Company and all of their affiliates and subsidiaries produce about 90% of all TV programs and movies in the USA. These media transnationals collected together have a near-monopoly over what people watch. Does this help?

Napoleon's return to France from Elba meant that he would be trying to overthrow Louis XVIII.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

---------------------
That would be on the concept map itself. The written description is describing what's on the concept map, there shouldn't be any new information there.

O, so its just like an organizer, and we don't have to put the definitions on it? Or do we put it on the written description?

for the test on mondae(social 20), are the dates very important?

Anonymous said...

Are the pictures supposed to be examples of what a certain term means? For example, for the term monoculture, could i put a picture of a peace sign? Showing that in a monoculture world, people agree on things? Is that an example of monoculture? And also, how many pictures are we suppose to put on for each term?

Anonymous said...

Hey Mr. Girlchrist, can we more than one word to one term?

Anonymous said...

Sorry, i meant, can we link more than one word to one term? If so, do we have to explain on the concept map, why we linked it?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

All of the key terms in the concept map must be defined, and those definitions must appear on the concept map itself, NOT in the written description.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

For the Social 20 test on Monday, there may be some dates, but it's not a requirement that you memorize dates!! I'm ALWAYS more concerned with whether or not you can see connections between events, the CAUSE and EFFECT that we see in history. To me it's more important to understand what led to the Tennis Court Oath and the attack on the Bastille than memorizing the days on which these events took place.

Hey Mr.G. For our concept map, do we have to draw links to all the things it affects, or can we just draw one line to a subheading and just explain everything in the written part? For example, universalization of popular culture may have an affect on collective and individual identity. Can we just draw one line to identity, or do we draw a line to everything?
I apologize for the confusing-ness.
Thanks.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

For the comment at 3:53: Yes, you can link more than one concept to another. You can use linking words on your concept map to help people understand why you made that connection. You can further explain it in your written description that goes on the back of your concept map. Does this help?

Hey Mr G
Can you tell me what the difference is between homogenization and monoculture?

Anonymous said...

So on the concept map, each term will have like a box or circle around it. Then underneath the term, we'll have the definition of the term, and some pictures? So everything is in a little box or circle?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Hey Mr G
Can you tell me what the difference is between homogenization and monoculture?

-----------------------
I think the easiest way to see the difference between these two terms is to look them up in the glossary and then keep in mind that homogenization is the process and monoculture is the potential result. Does that help?

----------------------
I guess this comes down to what's going to look the best for your concept map. If it's going to be too cluttered in your mind, then maybe do what you're doing. However, I think it's better to show as many connections as possible, and then maybe clarify the connections that you drew in your written description.

-------------------------
If you want to have the definition underneath the term, then you could do it that way. The pictures don't have to have circles or boxes around them though.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

-----------------
I prefer you to try and come up with your own take on the concepts, rather than looking them up in a dictionary.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

------------------------
Probably not on the concept map itself, that sounds like something you would do in the written description.

for referencing a magazine the example in the handbook says
Savage,C. (1999. January/Febuary). Winter's warmest beasts. Canadian geographic, 119, 30-32.
what does 119 stand for? and how should we put the author for an ad?

also, if we use one magazine source do we have to reference every single picture?

-----------------------
In this example it might stand for issue number. I'm not sure what you mean by author for an ad. Do you mean an advetisement in a magazine? As far as one magazine being used multiply times, it might be quick to use the old "Ibid." trick. This is how you do that: do the citation properly one time. For every article or picture you use from that same magazine, just use Ibid. p.137 (as an example page number). The only catch is that they have to be one after another, you cant have another source in between them. Think of Ibid. as sort of like writing a line of text, and then directly underneath that line of text you have a lot of the same words, so to save yourself time in writing them out again you use the " mark over and over again. Does this help?

------------------
I hope you haven't destroyed your atlas. How to reference an atlas is on page 17 in your student handbook, under "Books", pick one that applies, if there's an author, no author, or editor.

3) magazine advertisements don't usually have an author, so what should i put for author for proper references?

----------------------
1) If you read the rubric carefully, you should be able to figure out the difference
2) Yes, you have to cite Time magazine differently for each issue that you use.
3)No reference needed for an advertisement

Kevin Gilchrist said...

---------------------
No title is necessary. The main concept is globalization, so that is the key concept that should be in the center of the concept map.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

I was just wondering if media transnationals include fast food companies? Or is it just the entertainment industry?

---------------------
Media transnationals, or media multinational corporations aren't lumped in with fast food companies. It's just the entertainment industry. Examples of media transnationals would be Walt Disney Company, Viacom, News Corporation, and GE. In Canada, BellGlobe Media is a good example.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

When we link one term to another, do we have to write a sentence on the concept map explaining why we linked it? Or would be draw an arrow to it and then explain why we linked it on the written description?

-------------------------
That is where the linking words are going to come in handy. Think of the linking words as a way to write a short sentence on the concept map. You can go into greater detail in the written description.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

also, if we have three for indiviaul identity, and then another three pictures for collective identity, do we still need to provide examples for the term 'identity'?
-----------------------
I would say that three visuals for some of the concepts would definitely be enough.
To answer your second question, if you do all of that, then no, you don't need one for "identity".

Is it okay if i just have political globalization on the map with nothing under it, and then link it to some other things?

----------------------
Have a look at your textbook, pages 20-23 for some inspiration. That is the section that starts with "Globalization Affecting Political Aspects of Society". It might give you some ideas.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

hey mr.g, can u please explain the levee en masse to me? i cant get a very clear idea from what they wrote in the book....

-----------------------
This is also in your Glossary of Terms handout that you have. It's basically a call to arms for all Frenchmen to defend France from invading foreign armies during the French Revolution. Try to find in that glossary. It's SO much better than the textbook!!

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Mr. Gilchrist do we have to provide examples for the definition of globalization?

----------------------
No, essentially the rest of the concept map should do that. Try to come up with a central image to go with globalization though.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Because I first explain Identity then i go into a deeper explanation on it by saying what individual and collective identities are. Then when i gave two examples for each of those concepts. Two for individual, collective identities and Identity.

---------------------
Sounds fine. When you say "go into deeper explanation" you mean in your written description, right?

----------------------
I think I answered this one earlier, but here it goes again: Savage, C. is the author's name. His last name is Savage, and his first name starts with a C. The 119, probably represents an issue number.

----------------------
Please try to limit yourself to one page. You probably don't need to describe everything on the concept map, the written description is a way to demonstrate your further understanding of the interconnections between the concepts and what they all mean.

-------------------
You MUST include ALL of the key concepts from the assignment sheet. You are NOT expected to include more. Some people have asked if it's okay to add more terms, and yes, it is, but just make sure that you do what's required.

---------------------
Actually, most times if there are photographs or graphics in an article, the author of the article isn't responsible. Most magazines give photo credits next to the image, so check carefully. You need to define ALL of the key concepts on the list, I think you must have misinterpreted something there.

Most people that have been making comments here have mentioned 2-3 examples per concept. That seems reasonable to me. If you have less than that for one of the key concepts, I wouldn't stress about it too much. If you have NO illustrations/graphics for ANY of the concepts then it's time to worry.

Well, let's clarify, you found the picture using Google as your search engine, in all likelihood, the image was hosted on another website. When you do an image searh in Google you're giving a thumbnail version of the picture, and if you click on it you'll be taken to a page with the thumbnail on it and a larger version of the image. You'll have to open up that website, in other words, "Below is the image in its original context on the page: website URL". Click on that hyperlink and open up the page, and see if you can find the image information that you're looking for.

what are we supposed to know about the political spectrum? i dont know what it is......can u please help me?

------------------------
Sorry, I missed this one earlier. Basically, at this point you need to know that the origins of the political spectrum that we use to this day began during the French Revolution. You're going to have to visualize a horseshoe shape (or an upside-down "U" if you prefer). This is what the National Convention arrangement of seats looked like. At the bottom of the horseshoe (the open end of the U) sat the Speaker. To the Speaker's left sat the Jacobins, in the middle sat the Girondins, and to the Speaker's right sat the Conservatives. The Jacobins were the most radical, and wanted to change the political system the most, the Girondins were more moderate, and the Conservatives, were, well, conservative, trying to maintain the status quo(keeping things the way they were). Now if you can visualize that horseshoe again, and you bend into a straight line, you'll have a left, middle, and right. That's the political spectrum. Some political parties are more radical, some are more moderate, and others more conservative. For now, that's all that you need to know. When we talk about the Congress of Vienna, we'll build upon the idea of the poltical spectrum, and add more elements to it. Does that help?

Hmmm, most magazines have an issue number, if not on the front cover, then on the spine, or sometimes in the table of contents. Try those places, if you still can find it, then fudge it.

Mr. G
do we explain our pictures on the poster or in the write-up?

-------------------
In the written description. You'll have more space to do so there.

Treat it like your first written assignment: formal.

----------------------
That's your list references that you used for your concept map. If you have pictures on your concept map that you found on the Internet or in magazines, then you have to clearly state where you found them. You MUST use the format in your student handbook.

That's okay. You're under some stress.

-----------------------
The Revolutionary Tribunal was set up by Danton. It is the court that hears cases, and then quickly sent people off to their deaths at the guillotine. Later on during the Reign of Terror, Danton himself goes through the Revolutionary Tribunal, and is sentenced to death. Does this help?

Write the volume number and the issue number.

if napoleon was so bent on equality, how come it didn't bother him that women were considered second class citizens and that their opinion never mattered??

------------------
Most of the people associated with the French Revolution were not necessarily in favour gender equality. Typically they focus on the ending privileges associated with the First and Second Estates. They want equality of man. To be treated equally in the courts, and to have equality in property rights. One of the key documents that was influenced by the Enlightenment writers, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was pretty thin on gender equality. Napoleon is no exception. Under Napoleon, women's rights/lives were very much determined by men. We've made progress, but I would argue that we don't have complete gender equity, even in today's society. Don't be too harsh on Napoleon, he's a product of his times, and there were very traditional gender roles for men and women in his lifetime and beyond.

---------------------
I think that you'll find that a lot of the key concepts can be linked. I don't have a definitive number of links in my head, so I'm not going to be counting them or anything. Just know that you have to make some connections.

------------------------
Linking words would be short phrases that help make the connections between key concepts more obvious. For example, if you're linking economic globalization and individual identity, you'll have a line between the two key concepts, but in between you'd have a short phrase like: "has an impact on how I express my", so that it looks like "Economic globalization has an impact on how I express my individual identity". This is the best example I can come up with at 10:00 p.m.
