Today we’re looking at how society becomes stratified along gender lines. We’ll discuss Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinities and emphasized femininities. We’ll explore gender socialization in the home, media, and schools. Finally, we’ll explain how gender stratification results in different outcomes by gender in education, occupations, earnings, and criminal activity.

In which John asks whether globalization is a net positive for humanity. While the new global economy has created a lot of wealth, and lifted a lot of people out of poverty, it also has some effects that aren't so hot. Wealth disparity, rising divorce rates, environmental damage, and new paths for the spread of disease. So does all this outweigh the economic benefits, the innovation, and the relative peace that come with interconnected economies? As usual, the answer is not simple. In this case, we're living in the middle of the events we're discussing, so it's hard to know how it's going to turn out.
In which John Green teaches you about globalization, a subject so epic, so, um, global, it requires two videos. In this video, John follows the surprisingly complex path of t-shirt as it criss-crosses the world before coming to rest on your doorstep, and eventually in your dresser. (Unless you're one of those people who never puts their laundry away and lives out of a laundry basket. If that's the case, shame on you.) Anyway, the story of the t-shirt and its manufacture in far-flung places like China, Guatemala, and India is a microcosm of what's going on in the global economy. Globalization is a bit of a mixed bag, and there have definitely been winners and losers along the way. In this episode John will talk about some of the benefits that have come along with it. Next week, he'll get into some of the less-positive side effects of globalization.

The Great War Video Series
Key Canadian battles during the First World War led to the march to victory in 1918.
Created by Canada’s History — October 1, 2018
When the First World War began in 1914, Canada had no choice — as part of the British Empire, the country was automatically at war.
More than 650,000 Canadians served over the course of the four-year conflict, an impressive number for a population of around eight million. And, through its successes on the battlefield, Canada proved itself many times. But the fighting took its toll; by the end of the war, more than 66,000 Canadians had been killed, and another 172,000 had been wounded.
November 11, 2018, marks the hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War. Here are just a few key Canadian battles along the road to armistice in 1918.
This site offers games galore in math, science, ELA, geography, history, art, design, music, languages, health and more.
"A document titled Guidelines to the Procurement Obligations of Domestic and International Trade Agreement has been developed to house basic procurement obligations in one place. It provides information about Saskatchewan’s procurement obligations under the following agreements:
"New West Partnership Trade Agreement between British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba; Canadian Free Trade Agreement between all Canadian provinces, territories and the federal government; Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the members of the European Union;
World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement; and, Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership between Canada and ten other Pacific Rim countries.
This document is a guide and should not been taken as legal advice, nor should it replace the specific procurement obligations outlined in each agreement. Nonetheless, a procuring entity that follows the guidelines should be assured that its actions will generally meet the applicable obligations of the trade agreements.
You are encouraged to become familiar with these guidelines and review your procurement policies with this document in mind."

"The CASS “Guide to Relationships and Learning with the Indigenous Peoples of Alberta” was developed to support our members, as system leaders, to deepen their understanding of foundational knowledge of the Indigenous Peoples. This Guide was developed through an Indigenous lens by including the voices and teachings of Elders and Knowledge Keepers. Their voices are captured on video and edited to introduce and bring understanding to multiple areas of learning that capture and cover the essential teachings identified by the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples of Alberta."
In which John Green teaches you about World War I and how it got started. Crash Course doesn't usually talk much about dates, but the way that things unfolded in July and August of 1914 are kind of important to understanding the Great War. You'll learn about Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Pincep, the Black Hand, and why the Serbian nationalists wanted to kill the poor Archduke. You'll also learn who mobilized first and who exactly started the war. Sort of. Actually there's no good answer to who started the war, but we give it a shot anyway.
