Social 10-1

I started a PowerPoint presentation today called "Globalization and Sustainability" which I will finish off in tomorrow's class. We also started watching a documentary called "shipbreakers" which tied into many of the themes in today's PowerPoint. We'll finish the film off tomorrow as well. Your TNC Dossier Assignment was due today as well. If you haven't handed it in yet, you will be facing a 10% penalty per day that it is late.

Social 30-1

I tied up some loose ends related to the Canadian political system, including the type of electoral system used in Canada and elsewhere in the world. We also looked at another version of re-casting a federal election (thanks for catching the mistakes in the Math people!) and then we finally looked over how a bill becomes a law in Canada. We then moved on to look at the structure of the American political system. We will continue this tomorrow. Here's a link to the video on the American electoral college system.
