Flashcards

Royal Proclamation of 1763

This proclamation officially recognized Indigenous land rights and established processes for land negotiations with Indigenous Nations. It aimed to prevent conflict between settlers and Indigenous peoples.

Residential Schools

Residential schools were government-funded institutions created to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture. This was achieved through forced language changes, religious indoctrination, and often severe abuse.

Two Row Wampum Treaty

This treaty was a symbol of coexistence and mutual respect between Indigenous Nations and European settlers. It represents two parallel lines, signifying the distinct paths each group would walk, but also a shared journey.

Greenhouse Effect

This natural process involves gases like COâ‚‚ and CHâ‚„ trapping heat in Earth's atmosphere. This keeps the planet warm enough for life, but increased greenhouse gas emissions cause global warming.

Study Notes

Module 7: Social Construction of Identity

  • Social identity is formed by societal norms, expectations, and cultural influences
  • Examples include student identity with expectations of academic achievement, time management, and collaboration
  • Social identity is both intersectional (e.g., race, gender, class) and fluid (changeable over time)
  • Intersectionality highlights how different aspects of identity combine to create unique experiences
  • Social identity fluidity implies that identities can shift and evolve based on new circumstances

Module 8: Evolved Traits

  • Darwin proposed all living organisms share a common ancestor
  • Diversity of life is due to natural selection acting on heritable traits
  • Natural selection leads to organisms adapting to their environments
  • Peppered moth example illustrates how fitness changes based on environmental conditions
  • "March of Progress" image is a misconception showing linear progression from apes to humans, which is incorrect; evolution is branching and not linear

Module 9: Colonization Road

  • Royal Proclamation of 1763 recognized Indigenous land rights
  • Residential schools aimed to erase Indigenous culture
  • Indoctrination, language changes, and abuse were inflicted on Indigenous children
  • Two Row Wampum Treaty pledged mutual respect
  • Settlers benefit from Indigenous land, and everyone in Canada is bound by treaties requiring mutual respect and responsibility

Module 11: Meaningful Life

  • Example of meaning: A hobby like playing music
  • Coherence, Purpose, and Significance
    • Coherence: understanding how life events fit into a larger narrative
    • Purpose: pursuing long-term goals
    • Significance: feeling that life matters
  • Frankl's theory emphasizes finding meaning in life, even in difficult circumstances, arising from love

Module 12: Happiness

  • Impact bias, overestimating how future events will affect happiness (e.g, bad grade)
  • Purpose of happiness motivates goal-directed behaviors and helps adapt to changing circumstances
  • Knowledge of impact bias helps prioritize decisions based on long-term values rather than fleeting emotions
