Today was yet another busy day in Social 10-2, here's what happened:

Social 10-2

You wrote your Chapter 1-2 Quiz at the beginning of the class. I collected your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions and your "global connections" map. I went through some notes on media transnational corporations, and discussed some of the other companies that they owned and controlled. Keep in mind, with media transnationals, they tend to be involved in various types of media: newspapers, magazines, book publishing, TV, cable TV, satellite TV, movies and film production, and Internet services. This is different than other TNCs, such as McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Nike or Toyota, they don't own and control media outlets. Make sure that you know the difference between TNCs and media TNCs! I also gave you some notes on homogenization and the universalization of popular culture, as well as the CBC/SRC, CRTC, and CAVCO. We talked a little bit about "cultural protectionism" as well. You wrote your World Geography Test today as well. Tomorrow, you have some homework due, your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due.

Upcoming Important Dates:

• Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions are due tomorrow
