We started a PowerPoint lecture today called "Globalization and Sustainability". We started talking about the life cycle of a ship, and what happens to ships when they are built, when they are in operation, and where they go to "die". We started watching a NFB documentary called "Shipbreakers" today as well, which we will finish tomorrow. I also did a homework check on your Chapter 13 Key Terms and Questions today.Social 30-1
Today we focused in on a case study of an ideological one-party state, specifically China. We watched a couple of videos from the BBC History of the 20th Century videos, one was called "One Man's Revolution" and the other "China Since Mao". Both of these videos are a bit dated, so I'd recommend you finish watching the NFB documentary that we started watching in class (but didn't finish due the lag on the network today). The film was called "Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square".The film is based on the personal experiences of Shui Bo Wang, who was born in 1960, and hence was about 29 years old when the pro-democracy protests took place in Tiananmen Square. It has an interesting mix personal stories, first-hand accounts, photographs and animation as well. I do recommend that you finish watching it. Tonight would be a great night to finish off your half (if you're working with a partner) of the USA-Canada Government Comparison Assignment (which is due on Thursday). Your Civil Rights Movement Assignment is due next Monday.

Hi, Mr. Gilchrist, I'm wondering what it means by "you must include a timeline of major events in the TNC's history"; what does "major" encompass in the context of a TNC's history? For example, would it include changes in leadership, medium sized acquisitions, spin-offs, and new inventions?
