Theater is thought to have started in the 6th century BC in Athens, as a form of classical entertainment (Goldhill 54). At this time, it was predominantly for entertainment, and also to create a catalogue of historical events, or depiction of mythology. This evolved into plays that were categorized as tragedy, comedy and drama, each in forms that we would readily recognize today, were all born out of that early tradition. However, over time, different countries adapted the western art form, to create formulas that more directly address their social concerns, or meet the social need for expression. In ...

The 8th Fire conversely focuses on exposing and addressing the plight of Indians in Canada. Indians are believed to have been the first inhabitants of Canada. This is however not well received by the British, who were also eying the resources on the land which led to a conflict of interests. The fast growing population of Indians worried the British as they did not embrace the idea of sharing the available resources with them. This resulted to several agreements reached in a bid to unequivocally resolve the growing conflict. According to Long (2010), one of the agreements reached was ...

Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony. However, discord persists over the impact of various legislation and practices in the integration of immigrants as well as identifiable religious minorities. Multiculturalism, for instance, finds opposition on the premises that it promotes balkanization and isolation of ethnic groups. Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

Equality between females and males cannot be attained using legal channels only. How people, cultures, and societies perceive gender and equality can make an immense difference. The aspect means that individuals must start believing and behaving as if women and men are equal. The attitudes towards equality and females are shaped in various ways. They can arise from personal experiences, social values, or people’s upbringings. Two essential contributors of stereotypes and attitudes are culture and popular media. This paper examines popular media particularly print media to identify how women are represented as well as their presence or absence ...

The committee membership in the United States of America is not diverse. The polarization of the states is dividing the area into different districts which awards one political party an electoral advantage, and while forming the committees, most members are from the benefited political party. The varying of the voter's ID throughout the states results in a lack of diversity as not all citizens are given a representation chance in the government. While electing the committee, the voter’s turnover is less, and those people who are not present are not likely to be presented. The legislators play a ...

QA answer Ohio court has the jurisdiction to handle this case but not Texas. Although the involved parties cut across the two states, Ohio has the personal jurisdiction because the Flower World Business is in that state. In other words, the defendant involved case is physically located in Ohio and this is the area where the investigation should be conducted. The best way to determine the jurisdiction is to look at the court that will have both personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the defendant of the case as argued by Orakhelashvili (n.d.).

Introduction

Gender equality is one of the most controversial and complicated issues that have plagued human societies for many years. In fact, the issue regarding gender equality has been an age-old problem that have prevailed even in the contemporary society. The problem in gender equality lies on the concept of equality itself, primarily because the concept of equality is too broad to be explicitly defined. The case of Stella Bliss, for example, is a manifestation that the concept of equality is subjective and depends on the prevailing perception on equality. According to the merits of the case, Stella Bliss, a ...

However, these factors have not been clearly stated in literature. On the ...

Paper 2

Ontario’s HPV Vaccination Program In this paper, I present arguments that are supportive of the ethical inappropriateness of the Ontario government’s HPV vaccination initiative. I also aim at revealing the ineffectiveness of the program as a public health strategy constructed to combat cervical cancer. The program is ineffective in combating cervical cancer because the interventions arising from the screening program poses risks on women and especially the ones of childbearing age. In addition, I will use the utilitarian approach to support my views. In September 2007, the Ontario Liberal Government began a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination ...

Miners’ Houses, Grace Bay

Art has been an irreplaceable part of humans’ life for as long as mankind has existed. People have built very close connection with art for a while. They have been creating, looking at, criticizing and admiring art all their life. The first and foremost purpose of any artist is not just to capture the eye of the audience, but attempt to communicate an emotion, an idea or some important social theme. Art is something that inspires human beings, something that is able to move them into various fascinating realities as well as into the unexperienced subconscious places, no one ...

Judith Butler wrote the article “The Values of Difficulty” as a response to the article “Language Crimes: A Lesson in How Not to Write, Courtesy of the Professoriate” written by Denis Dutton. Butler defends her position in her essay and states that academic writers need to use complex terminology in order to express themselves and to shape the meaning in the right way. She believes that there is a connection between the language and the meaning and that a term could be misunderstood if simple language would be used. I agree with Judith Butler because she proves her point ...

Introduction

The world of today is characterized by an abundance of plural societies, where people from different cultures, languages, races, and ethnicities coexist in a spirit of tolerance and harmony. The majority of these civilizations have experienced diversity as a result of particular global phenomena, including slavery, colonization, and immigration among others. The existence of assorted racial and ethnic factions in the contemporary society presents a challenge of inclusion and participation in diverse national issues, especially political processes. Obviously, indigenous groups reserve and exert the greatest influence as far as participation and inclusion in political processes in host countries are ...

1.) Labour unions and employees opposed the extension of the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act (IDIA) into war production because they believed that it was simply a tactic to give employers time to prepare for a strike, make business continuity plans in the case of a strike, or otherwise seek to the crush the resolve of the unions and their members before I strike could actually take place (Fudge & Tucker, 2004). This opposition was based on the fact that under the IDIA, worked were criminally barred from striking while an investigation of the dispute was being conducted. In other words, ...

A water strait refers to the natural and navigable waterway that connects to large water bodies. It is mainly known as a water channel lying between two land masses, which may not be navigable.

Working on the Applied Project is equally challenging and rewarding at the same time. One of the challenges of completing Section 1 of the project is finding the most relevant literatures that would greatly contribute to the development of project. There are thousands of literatures available both online and in library resource, but finding the significant ones is in part challenging because the content needs to be consistent with the objectives of the project. Furthermore, the writing part of the project also encompasses the same challenge in terms of accurately describing the context of the chosen literatures. In an ...

The paper discusses the differences between South Korea and Canada concerning labour or employee relations. Particularly, the discussion concentrates on differences on unionisation coverage, processes, as well as strike percentages. It is significant to note that South Korea and Canada have different employment rates, that is, the unemployment rate in South Korea stands at 3.2 percent while that of Canada is 8.1 percent (Krahn, Hughes, & Lowe, 2011; Black, 2010). In South Korea, workers operate under repressive labour standards (Laura, 1998). Historically, labour unions in South Korea have been suppressed by the administration as well as business. The government of ...

Centralism is the concentration of power in one place while decentralism is diffusing power to other areas. The fault line existed due to various opinions and perceptions on the benefits of both centralism and decentralism. An article in The Globe and Mail shows a time when decentralism was slowly kicking. In essence, it was back with a vengeance (The Globe and Mail). Decentralism would now be focused as a national policy with an aim to improve the state of the provinces. Aboriginal versus non-aboriginal is another fault line that involves debates over the natives of the country and the ...

Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The World Conservation Strategy published in 1980 served as prelude to the conception of this notion, as the UN recognized the importance of minimizing the impact of human activity over the earth’s ecosystems and adopting models inclined towards sustainability ...

Introduction

The Greater Toronto Area has been recognized as one of the most affected provinces in Canada by poverty. This aspect contrasts the distinct image the rest of the world has with regards to the region, especially of Toronto. Stapleton (2015) indicates that Toronto’s economy accounts for almost 11% of the country’s GDP with its exports equaling close to $70 billion in products and services. In addition, it is also a hub for Information and Communication Technology as well as Canada’s media and financial center. As a result, the population in the city is comprised of wealthy ...

In this essay, I will argue that the Ontario HPV vaccination program is ethically inappropriate and ineffective as a public health initiative aimed at combating cervical cancer. HPV vaccination in regards to cervical cancer reduction pales in comparison to other vaccination programs such as those that fight infectious diseases like polio, measles, smallpox, pertussis, and TB among others. As such, pro-vaccination arguments such as harm to others, harms and benefits, as well as best interests do not offer sufficient justification for the HPV vaccination initiative. Moreover, the critical consideration of issues such as social justice, adolescent sexuality, paternalism, and ...

The story ‘How to Get into Medical School- Part 1’ is an account written by a third party, about two characters studying hard to get an admission to medical school, and who love each other, but one of them cannot openly admit. The author’s intention is to bring out the conflict by putting the reader in a position where he/ she visualizes the actual events as they occur. This paper analyzes the story ‘How to Get into Medical School- Part 1’. It looks deeper into the characters as portrayed in the story, how the writers theme is brought ...

Racism is a type of discrimination whereby people are subjected to different treatment basing on the connotation and social values attached to the color of their skin. According to Naber (2012), racism is not only limited to the color of the skin rather, the position of an individual in the social ladder is of great significance in dictating his status in the society. In the US to be precise, the acts of racism dates back to the time of slavery whereby the Africans were segregated in the south while the whites occupied the northern states. During that time, the ...

The article “Good parenting key to breaking cycle of poverty” by Nicole Letourneau and Justin Joschko in the Toronto Star highlights the importance of strong relationships between children and adults in low-income families in Canada (Letourneau & Joschko, 2013). The article is significantly critical in the essence that it exposes the dangers of families suffering poverty not building a strong relationship with their children by particularly not giving them the necessary attention. In hindsight, the article depicts how extensive and sensitive alienation can be experienced while also revealing its prevalence to be witnessed across various issues. Alienation is thus witnessed ...

If Modernism concentrated on the preservation of ideal pure art, Post Modernism welcomed changes by using eccentric methods to produce contemporary art found in Modern Museums.

Introduction

Canada is known internationally as a peacekeeping nation that does not take part in larger imperialist agendas and is a haven for refugees and immigrants. This has caused the country to adopt multicultural state policies meant to provide a safe and progressive environment for its diverse society. However, the country has a history of indigenous colonization, slavery, white settlement policies, and racialized immigration policies meant to settle people of color. Despite the multicultural policies being in place, Canada’s history has influenced racism in the nation with the Canadian minorities being marginalized socially, politically, culturally and economically. This essay ...

List the reasons for and against Confederacy. Did financial matters take priority?

In the 1850s and 1860s, cracks in the relationship between Britain and British North America began to appear due to North Brunswick stamps being bought by cents, not pence, and they had Charles Connell’s, not Queen Victoria’s, face on them. There were many Canadians during the nineteenth century who felt that uniting with the United States of America was impractical, unpopular, unnatural, but entirely necessary. There were many Canadians who felt that they had so much more in common with the United States that it made sense to unite together from an economic, cultural, defensive and historical ...

One of the reasons that persons loyal to the Crown accepted the chance to settle in given areas of North America such as Canada and the different states of the United States is the economic potential of the regions. Despite the people who had declared loyalty to the crown having the chance to be leaders in the regions they were attached in, resettling in areas with more potential than others was always an endearing for settlers to move to the different parts of the colony. The Upper Canada region is one of the areas in which most poor people ...

Prevalence of Poverty in Haiti

The issue of poverty is a topic countries are unable to tackle fully given the complexity of the problem based on its cause and the factors that ensure its continuous persistence. Many countries have areas where development is not fully realized and only certain parts of the country benefit from development or modernization. Some countries do not have resources or training necessary to instigate development and a few cannot escape poverty easily, because they have yet to repair their infrastructure and society after being subservient to another country. In the case of the Republic of Haiti, the prevalence of ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a medical condition that can never be completely healed, as the virus will remain in the organism despite treatment. Furthermore, HIV can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is the most advanced phase of HIV infection (Eramova, Matic & Munz, 2007). This chronic disease reached its peak in the mid-eighties, when an AIDS epidemic spread across United State and many other nations, causing the death of many individuals carrying this virus (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). The virus continues to spread, increasing the number of people living with AIDS, which reached up ...

Jim McGuigan (2009), in his widely-acclaimed article “Doing a Florida: The Creative Class Thesis and Cultural Policy” talks about Richard Florida, considered as a the guru of management in America. According to McGuigan, Florida’s work The Rise of the Creative Class was a classic case of looking impressive on the surface, but is actually riddled with flaws in the inside. In addition, Florida’s work on cultural policy leans more on the managerialist perspective which resulted to the oversimplication of the scientific reasoning and research (McGuigan 310). To a reader who has no background on the social sciences, ...

Introduction

Experiential learning is one of the most important methods that people from the academe, most especially educators apply to help students develop his/her emotional, cognitive, and social values. Experiential learning is basically learning through first-hand experience, action, discovery, and exploration. It is important for observational learners which needs actual application of concepts to understand it (Brock et al., 2012). Immersing oneself in an unfamiliar territory is an important way to teach people, especially students, on what it is really like to be part of a certain community, and it is also one way for them to understand why people ...

With the issue of crime, the levels of criminal recidivism and high rates of incarceration becoming more and a more serious, there has been a need to find ways of reducing the emphasis on punishment within the US criminal justice system. One of the ways through which this objective can be achieved has been found after years of studies and research to lie in rehabilitation as an alternative mechanism for dealing with criminal offenders within the justice system. Thus, there have been calls to integrate rehabilitation and punishment as a parallel strategy of controlling crime and recidivism.

3 PARTS OF PERSONALITY

Abstract

The three parts of personality according to Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche include the Id, the super-ego, and the ego. The three personality parts are the theoretical constructs upon which the interaction and activity of the mental life of individuals is described. Prior to the development of the Freud’s models, researchers and faculty psychologists had developed a division of the human mind. The theories they developed used to be modified from time to time until the development of the structural theory of the personality parts by Freud in 1923.This theory has ...

Introduction

Human sexuality is a vital part of existence, carrying the reproductive function but also the interaction and the need for intimacy and love. The mere existence of human species is due to sexuality, which is one of the basic needs for living. From the most ancient times, or from the biblical beginning of Adam and Eve, sexuality is entrenched in human behavior as a necessary condition for spreading the human species, but also as a capacity for sharing loving feelings towards another human being. Although the effects of sexuality are visible in the public spheres through relationships and/or children ...

A trademark is a legally binding emblem, logo, or name on goods or services that uniquely identify to a specific company. As the Chief Operations Officer of Boca Raton Sports Holdings, I decided to pick “Boca Raptors” as the new team name. The name “Boca” on the team name emanates from Boca Raton, the locality of the Basketball team and “Raptors” is derived from the fact that Florida is a Birds paradise with over 500 species in existence. However, we are not just any birds we are the raptors- birds of prey who feed on rival football teams. The ...

Human nature can be depicted as being inherently connected and communal. This means that although most of the occurrences are deemed inhumane, usually the level of depiction of love is still greater. Human beings throughout history have influenced and participated in events that could be looked at as inhumane. Wars, torture, and acts of violence amongst differing groups are some of the occurrences that depict the dark and selfish side of human being. The general perspective of most scholars depicts human beings as destructive creatures. Often, people are of the mentality that disasters and catastrophes tend to bring out ...

The struggle of representation and a part of Canada by the Quebec people has taken a long time before its resolution. People have different opinions as to how the Quebecois should exist in Canada. However, the tussle is between two major groups: the Quebecois and Canadian scholars. Their indifferences with each other occur as they seek to make a better resolution for all the people. For instance, Rene Levesque feels that their independence as the Quebecois nation is necessary for their development while Pierre Trudeau seeks to unite Canadians and Quebecois. Each of the arguments is valid though one ...

On a particular issue of importance to Canadians, do the media present a range of viewpoints or political positions or do they reinforce and reproduce dominant ideologies? Media play a major role in informing the general public of the current affairs entailing the issues that may directly or indirectly have effects on their daily lives (Carney 2008, p.18). In both the western and eastern world, mass media are recognized as the primary source of news, entertainment, advertisement, sports and recreation in general, and the education channel that aim to reach a large number of audiences. Media are deemed as ...

Abortion is a contentious issue with both political and cultural ramifications. For decades, since Roe v. Wade, the fight between pro life and pro choice activists has taken nasty turns and in some cases resulting in fatalities. It is inconceivable that life can be denied to a potential contributor to society just at the time of conception and some times when the fetus takes on a human form. Even though the debate between abortionists and anti-abortionists has stalled, the case for life is still strong. This paper seeks to make an argument for the preservation of life. It introduces ...

1.0 Statement of the problem The concern is brought about by the decreasing revenues of their business as evident in the preceding year of operation.

Morrison also observes that despite the restaurant offering three services, the takeout, and catering programs have a very minimal share of revenues at about 9% each which is troubling given the fact that the two services are very popular in the ...
