F/E Blocks Criminology 12
Today we discussed the role of television and violence. It shocks me to this day some of the stuff that I watched as a child. The amount of violence is shocking. What were my parents thinking! We looked at some examples of videos that I watched as a child compared to what is on tv now for kids.
Students were responsible for the following assignment:
Find a individual who has been linked to a serious crime (ie. murder) who has blamed it on some form of media:
- Give the name of the individual
- What was the crime
- What sentence was handed down
- What evidence was used in court to convict this person
- What was the defence used by the accused (how was the media blamed)
- your opinion....do you think it was legit?

Today we had a discussion on the divisions that were appearing in the Catholic Church. The result of people being upset with the Catholic Church resulted in the beings of the Protestant Church. We discussed the differences between the two. Then the students wrote an open book quiz on the Middle Ages...or Chapter 1 as I call it. The students were allowed to use their notes.
Finally we began the next chapter by having the students work on a map of England.
