November 25


I started a presentation today, which I will finish tomorrow called "Globalization and Sustainability". We looked at one definition of sustainable prosperity, the concept of ecological footprints and what factors contribute to Canadians having such big ecological footprints. We also looked at the sustainability of the shipbreaking industry and the life cycle of a ship. We started watching the documentary "Shipbreakers", which we will also finish off tomorrow.
  • TNC Dossier Assignment is due on Monday, December 1st

  • Unit 3 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment is on Thursday, December 4th
  • Unit 3 Final Exam is on Thursday, December 11th


I collected your Unit 2 Research Dossier Assignments today at the beginning of class. Every day that you are late handing these dossiers are not handed in means 10% off your mark (it works out to -3.5 marks per day). We started looking at Unit 3 material today, specifically completing a opinion survey that gave you results as to whether you are more of a nationalist or an internationalist. Your Unit 3 Final Exam is tomorrow, please make sure that you have prepared for it! You have a Unit 2 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment on Friday.
