Knowledge Organiser 2020-2021 Knowledge Organiser YEAR GROUP: 9 TERM: 2 NAME FORM “For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” – Carl Sagan Year 9 Knowledge organiser Term 2 Page: 1 How to use your knowledge organiser You are expected to bring your knowledge organiser to the academy every day This knowledge organiser contains all the key knowledge that you need to know for your learning this term. You should spend at least 30 minutes every evening using the knowledge organiser to complete a learning homework. You should record the subject or subjects on the learning homework page and show this to your form tutor on a weekly basis. You will be tested in lessons on your learning from this knowledge organiser. In some lessons, your teacher will ask you to learn specific sections of the knowledge organiser, but otherwise you should work through each subject independently, trying to memorise the information in the booklet. The more you can remember, the more useful it will be for your lessons. How to learn using a knowledge organiser The best way to use a knowledge organiser is to revise the information so that you can recall it when you are asked. The best methods to do this are: ▪ Look, cover, write and check the key words and knowledge lists ▪ Ask a family or friend member to test you on the knowledge ▪ Create a mind map to remember the information in each section ▪ Write down on a blank piece of paper as much as you can remember from the organiser ▪ Use the knowledge organiser to help you complete work in school and at home Year 9 Knowledge organiser Term 2 Page: 2 SCHOLAR A scholar is a person who studies a subject and knows a lot about it. “She was a good scholar because she worked so hard in class.” Every student at CMA is a SCHOLAR Sitting up ___________ throughout your __________ to ensure maximum ________.

Key knowledge 8 Global citizenship is about helping people across the world. Global citizenship helps you realise that issues happen across the world and not everyone has access to their basic human rights such as education, housing, food and water. 9 We all have human rights but these rights come with responsibilities. You have to respect your rights in order to make sure everyone else around you can access their rights. 10 There have been lots of contributions to global rights of citizens, including a) Magna Carta (1215) - a ruler, just like everyone else, is subject to the rule of law, b) Declaration of Independence (1776) - everyone is created equal and endowed at birth with basic rights, c) UN Charter (1945) - human rights, dignity, and equality are central global values in the modern era, and d) Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) - the rights of all people must be protected if the world is to have freedom, justice, and peace. 11 The UN is an organisation that aims to secure international peace, fight poverty and protect people’s human rights. The UN was formed after the devastation of World War 1. 12 Our rights can be broken in to different categories, including a) political - people have the right to take part in the government of their country (Article 21), b) civil - people are equal before the law (Article 7), c) social - marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the potential spouses (Article 16), d) economic - people have the right to work where they choose, under healthful working conditions (Article 23), and e) cultural - everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community (Article 27). 13 There are 17 sustainable goals that the UN have set to try and help the global situations that are going on in the world. These include, no poverty, no plastic pollution and better healthcare for everyone. 14 The plan a project you must have different skills. Research, interpreting evidence, planning, collaboration and campaigning are important when planning and carrying out a project. 15 There are local, national and global charities that need help and donations. They require people to donate money so that they can use that money to help. 16 After a project has been done, the participants need to make sure that their project was successful by evaluating what they would do differently. For your assessment, you will need to write about the parts of your project that went well and what you could have improved.

Berkeley Professor Paul Pierson, Co-Chair Professor Sarah Anzia, Co-Chair Against the backdrop of accelerating economic divergence across different regions in advanced economies, political scientists are increasingly interested in its implication on political behavior and public opinion. This dissertation presents three papers that show how local-level implementation of policies and local economic circumstances affect voters' behavior. The first paper, titled \Biting the Hands that Feed Them? Place-Based Policies and Decline of Local Support", analyzed if place-based policies such as infrastructure projects and business support can garner political support in the area, using the EU funding data in the UK. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the findings suggest that relatively educated, well-off voters who pay attention to local affairs turn against the government that provides such programs and become more interested in the budgeting process.

  • The Cultural Politics of Climate Change Discourse in UK Tabloids
    Author's personal copy Political Geography 27 (2008) 549e569 www.elsevier.com/locate/polgeo The cultural politics of climate change discourse in UK tabloids Maxwell T. Boykoff* James Martin Research Fellow, Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY, UK Abstract In the United Kingdom (UK), daily circulation figures for tabloid newspapers are as much as ten times higher than broadsheet sources. Nonetheless, studies of media representations of climate change in the UK to date have focused on broadsheet newspapers. Moreover, readership patterns correlate with socio-eco- nomic status; the majority of readers of tabloids are in ‘working class’ demographics. With a growing need to engage wider constituencies in awareness and potential behavioral change, it is important to ex- amine how these influential sources represent climate change for a heretofore understudied segment of citizenry. This paper links political geographies with cultural issues of identity and discourse, through claims and frames on climate change in four daily ‘working class’ tabloid newspapers in UK e The Sun (and News of the World ), Daily Mail (and Mail on Sunday), the Daily Express (and Sunday Express), and the Mirror (and Sunday Mirror). Through triangulated Critical Discourse Analysis, investigations of framing and semi-structured interviews, this project examines representations of climate change in these newspapers from 2000 through 2006. Data show that news articles on climate change were predominantly framed through weather events, charismatic megafauna and the movements of political actors and rhetoric, while few stories focused on climate justice and risk. In addition, headlines with tones of fear, misery and doom were most prevalent.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Michael McCormick Ryan Hayes Wilkinson The Last Horizons of Roman Gaul: Communication, Community, and Power at the End of Antiquity Abstract In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

    Global Metal Music and Culture This book defines the key ideas, scholarly debates, and research activities that have contributed to the formation of the international and interdisciplinary field of Metal Studies. Drawing on insights from a wide range of disciplines including popular music, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, philos- ophy, and ethics, this volume offers new and innovative research on metal musicology, global/local scenes studies, fandom, gender and metal identity, metal media, and commerce. Offering a wide-ranging focus on bands, scenes, periods, and sounds, contributors explore topics such as the riff-based song writing of classic heavy metal bands and their modern equivalents, and the musical-aesthetics of Grindcore, Doom and Drone metal, Death metal, and Progressive metal. They interrogate production technologies, sound engi- neering, album artwork and band promotion, logos and merchandising, t-shirt and jewelry design, and the social class and cultural identities of the fan communities that define the global metal music economy and subcul- tural scene. The volume explores how the new academic discipline of metal studies was formed, while also looking forward to the future of metal music and its relationship to metal scholarship and fandom. With an international range of contributors, this volume will appeal to scholars of popular music, cultural studies, social psychology and sociology, as well as those interested in metal communities around the world.

Previous research on the connection between high unemployment andmediadiscoursehasoftenreliedoncasestudiesofperiodswhen stigmatising rhetoric about the poor was increasing. We build on earlier work on how economic context affects media representations of poverty by creating a unique dataset that measures how often stigmatisingdescriptionsofthepoorareusedinfivecentrist and right-wing British news- papers between 1896 and 2000. Our results suggest stigmatising rhetoric about the poor increases when unemployment rises, except at the peak of very deep recessions (e.g. the 1930s and 1980s). This pattern is consistent with the idea that newspapers deploy deeply embedded Malthusian explanations for poverty when those ideas resonate with the eco- nomic context, and so this stigmatising rhetoric of recessions is likely to recur during future economic crises.

Visible and high-profile projects appear to be particularly counterproductive. This goes against the positive findings in the literature about cash transfer or disaster relief, but it is important to remind that very few cases of such place-based intervention have been successful in the context of deflationary spirals in the declining regions.
