Question:
Law is a pervasive part of our lives; regulations shape our daily activities, govern our interactions with one another and our relationships to the planet and to other nations. Often our legal discussions include mention of organizations of which Canada is a part, or of nations struggling with human rights or conflict. It is important that you know the location of these nations. Sometimes a map can help to organize your thinking or to perceive a situation from a distinct perspective. You can download thisworld map, or create a digital version with a map creation tool such as My Maps by Google. If you are unsure of how to use My Maps by Google, watch this video to learn the steps.
Please put the following on your map:
- The nations noted in the video: Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Kenya, Lebanon, Jordan, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Mongolia, Berundi, Palestine, Israel, Iran, Myanmar, Nepal, Norway.
- Members of NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
- The only continent not owned by any nation.
- Countries that are part of the Arctic Council.
- 5 permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
- Three countries struggling with an overwhelming number of refugees.
- Three countries struggling with the impact of landmines.
- Locate the country and city of the UN Headquarters and the 3 nations and cities that host regional headquarters.
a) You will need to do a little bit of research to find the information to complete a map. Be aware of the sources you choose.
b) Look at the map you have created. Can you draw any conclusions from your map? (Hint: Describe what you see; describe what you don't see.) Make a list of concluding statements that you think you can draw from using the information you have discovered. Try to draw 5 conclusions and write 5 concise sentences. This can be tricky; you are being asked to infer.
This means to form an opinion from evidence, to reach a conclusion based on known facts.
c) Please ask yourself the following questions before you submit a map:
- Have you accurately located the countries on the map?
- Have you used more than one source to verify your answers?
- Have you used a legend to effectively organize the information?
- Did you use visual communication techniques to create an effective map (e.g., colour, title etc)?
d) Submit your map and your conclusions.
