Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

CLN4U – Canadian and International Law, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT Have you ever felt a bit lost while watching an episode of Law & Order ? This course will give you the knowledge you need to navigate the show, from police investigation to trial and conviction. As well, you will ponder important questions like: Why do we have laws? What is justice? And how does law actually impact my life? World conflicts like the former genocide in Rwanda and the current civil war in Syria will be explored from a lawyer’s perspective, namely can international laws end these conflicts and if not, why not? Finally, the course ends with a showcase of your newfound legal skills: a moot before an appeal court judge on a current and controversial legal issue (e.g. the right of gay men to donate blood, rights of Canadians facing the death penalty abroad and the right to computer privacy). Prerequisite: Any University or University/College Preparation course in Canadian and World Studies, English or Social Sciences and Humanities There is an e-Learning option, CLN4Ue. CPW4U – Canadian and International Politics, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT Politics is one of the three things you are never supposed to bring up at a dinner party because not many people know as much about it as they think they do. This course is your opportunity to be one of the few. International Politics is about the ideas behind what creates a functioning political society and applying them to countries around the world. You will start by looking at democracy as a system of government. What does it do well? What does it not? You will then study authoritarian regimes like North Korea and Iran and communism in the USSR and China. Finally, you will look at what is going on in the rest of the world and how Canada is tied in and how international relations and foreign policies work. Prerequisite: Any University or University/College Preparation course in Canadian and World Studies, English or Social Sciences and Humanities
