Hello Everyone,

This week we stared to examine the seven main aspects that make up worldview. These will be the main avenues or themes that we will be using to analyze or break down the cultures that we will be studying.
These are:
Geography- Where we live
Time - How we perceive it
Beliefs - What do we think is true
Society - How is it structured, can we move up or down
Values - What is important to you
Economy - How are things in society paid for or exchange
Knowledge - what do people know and how can they access it

All of these themes are ways to look at the complexity that make up how we view the world and how the world influences us.

We looked a little bit at Rome and some of the things that they accomplished. This is to better understand some of the things that Europe tried to emulate or recreate during the Renaissance.

We explored some of the realities and effects of the residential school system in Canada through Orange shirt day and the film We were children.

We also started our exploration of health and healthy relationships.

This week in history was the invasion of England in 1066 and the influence of French on the English language.
