ahh plz dont have the pop quiz tomorrow...we just had a test today!!
There will not be a pop quiz tomorrow for Social 10. That having been said, there will likely be at least one next week. For those of you who seem to have the time to post to this blog as former Prime Ministers of Canada: stop it, grow up, and find some other way to pass your time. I would like this comment section to be useful to students, not a place for you to have conversations with yourself. Enough said. If I find that some users are abusing the posting function, I will just modify the blog to prevent those postings.
er.... could anyone tell me how many words our glossary is supposed to have? I seem to only have 25
ummm for the diagram we have to draw(social 10), should we have it on a line piece of paper, or a plain piece of paper? And how detailed do u want the decriptions to be?
thx
i hav 27 defenitions on my glossary.
its 27
The glossary has 27 words, but three of them are the same, so maybe that's why you have 25. Riding,constituency, and electoral district all mean the same thing.
You can do the diagram on loose leaf. The notes are for your benefit, so make them as detailed as necessary.
Riding (also known as electoral district or constituency), is it because my electoral district and constituency r in the same definition?
Yes, like I wrote earlier that's why you have 25 words.
I guess riding is kinda slang, but sure; electoral district, constituency are the same. Upon further research, electoral district is the legal term.
Leo, not sure what you mean by "legal term", unless you mean that's what Elections Canada uses to refer to constituencies. None of them are SLANG. All are perfectly acceptable terms.
A constituency is defined as any cohesive corporate unit or body bound by shared structures, goals or loyalty. Its political meaning is derived from the fact it is used for customer bases, shareholders, philantropists and the like, a charity's donors and/or those it serves.
Riding was derived from the Old Norse language. The original word was þriðing, meaning third part (a.k.a. county). Because of the way of the word, the Anglo-Saxons have been speaking it a lot, and thus it first appeared in Canada in the mid-19th century. Government documents sometimes use this word over "electoral district" because of its colloquialistic style and its popularity.
Finally, with electoral districts, it was first used in Canadian Government Documents over ridings, but as time progressed and the neologism of people increased, riding was used more and more in the media (but not enough....).
Thus, I concur; all 3 are perfectly acceptable, but "electoral district" tends to be more accepted in government documents. (Hence "legal" when used in civil lawsuits.)
r u gonna check those notes 4 completion marks?? da governemtn notes
