Kevin Gilchrist said...

I will post a study guide for both the Social 10 and Social 23 final exams, but they will be very general, just pointing out the major themes and concepts that were covered in the course.

wat do we need to know on the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms? like...should we memorize the charter? or just know the basic idea of the charter?

Kevin Gilchrist said...

First off, sorry for the slow response, I'm just not checking the blog regularly over the break. Anyway, to answer your question: DON'T memorize the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I gave you some notes on this topic from overhead one day, study those. Please know that the rights are categorized in the charter, it might be helpful to know those categories and a couple of examples of each. For example, fundamental freedoms (which are examples of civil rights by the way)are a type of right outlined in the charter, and they include rights such as: freedom of conscience and religion. I hope this helps.

wat was the answer to the first question again on the social 10 final? :p

Kevin Gilchrist said...

I gave you a handout on the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Look for a handout with the Red Cross, UN, and Amnesty International logos on it.
As far as Rights and Responsibilities go, that's the theme. Please refer to the outline that I gave you for all of the Topic B themes to get some ideas. Basically, think about what rights you have as a citizen, and what responsibilities do you have? You have fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, mobility rights, legal rights, equality rights, among others. With some of these rights come responsibilities, so for political, legal, moral and social responsibilities, you have certain associated duties or responsibilities. For example, voting, participating actively in political affairs, performing jury duty, obeying the law, knowing your legal rights, respecting the rights of others, and volunteering to name a few. It's mostly common sense, right? I hope that this helps.

i was just wondering, could we have a mock social 10 final in class? cause after the citizenship final, we will have review time and i think it would be a good way to review, do a final from previous years.
