As seen in figure 1., the manifestation of neoliberal ideals is clearly demonstrated in this screenshot. In the comment written by Prakoso, the reasoning behind wanting immigrants to enter the country is consistent with the reasons in a neoliberal lens. Prakoso emphasizes the importance of immigrants contributing to the economy and how this could be done with an effective filter. This is translated more clearly through the requirements incoming immigrants must meet in order to enter Canada because of the focus on global competitiveness and economic growth. This view is not specific to Prakoso as highlighted in a CBC article written by Angus Reid. In the article, it is said that, “the vast majority of Canadians prefer a policy that will enhance…
Elizabeth C. Stanton was born in Johnston, New York. As a lawyer, Stanton’s father did not have a need for slaves thus creating the anti-slavery sentiment. Stanton was informed of the abolitionist, and women’s rights movements through her cousin, Gerrit Smith. Furthermore, her husband Henry Stanton was a lawyer who dedicated his knowledge to reforms present in the mid 19th century. Being surrounded by reformers had a great impact on Elizabeth C. Stanton as she used her knowledge from Willard’s Troy Female Seminary to further become a women’s rights activist.…
The two pieces of writing from Sheingold and Polleta both analyze how law can play a role in advancing rights claims in public policy.…
David Sze (July 7, 2015) posted a column in the Huffington Post entitled, “Money and Happiness? It’s Complicated.” As the title suggests, Sze discusses the link between having money and finding happiness, or “life satisfaction.” He approaches the issue from a post-modern perspective without considering any transcendent categories to evaluate the issue. Leaving a theistic perspective out, Sze struggles to find an adequate explanation for meaning, happiness and satisfaction in life.…
Not only will Proposition 55 give funding to schools, but it will also protect Children’s health Care. At this point of time, California has free healthcare for families who live in poverty, and the passing of proposition 55 will help keep this free healthcare active. Many families need this because they do not have enough money to be able to go to the doctors for even one trip. The online article, “CA Can't Go Back…”, by Protecting California expresses how, “This prop gives $2 billion a year to low-income families in which can not afford to have non-free healthcare. This way, low income families are able to have health care, and children are able to be healthy.” (Protecting California) If this were not not pass, that $2 billion will not…
During the discussion on Washington Week, Gwen Ifil and her colleagues focused on Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. The Republicans had their last debate before Super Tuesday and both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz just attacked Donald Trump. This time Donald Trump couldn't seem to defend himself, but have no fear, Chris Christie is here. Chris Christie gladly gave an endorsement to Donald Trump to help him bounce back from the shakey debate. John Harwood thought you can't get anymore mainstream than the governor of New Jersey. Gwen Ifill responded with "Endorsements don't do much," but because both Trump and Christie like the spotlight they are a perfect match. As Super Tuesday started approaching, the candidates started doing their best…
The second part of this essay discusses the cognitive theory development. Lev Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development looks at how children learn from the environment that surrounds them. Vygotsky believed that children are born with certain mental functions such as their ability to focus on certain objects in their environment. According to his theory, children lack higher mental functions such as thinking and ability to problem solve. It is through guidance learning and assistance from Early Years Facilitators that help children learn. Vygotsky believed that children learn through their surroundings and through interactions. According to Oates, (2005) P.35 ‘Vygotsky’s theory of children’s development is greater when they work in their…

The method of skeptical inquiry or way by which Pyrrhonian skeptics bring themselves to withhold assent to every non evident proposition is known as the modes of suspension of judgment. There are five such modes that Sextus provides and they are based on: Discrepancy, regress ad infinitum, relativity, hypothesis and circular reasoning. (Empiricus, 165–169) The modes are designed to assist Pyrrhonian skeptics in in continuing their inquiry by guarding themselves from the disquieting state of dogmatism. For the sake of argument, suppose there is a dogmatist who believes that P. In order to avoid the snares of dogmatism, the Pyrrhonian skeptic would resort to withhold assent about P. According to the mode deriving from discrepancy, due to an undecidable…
After Reconstruction the states that resided in the north were primarily Liberal Republican. This was due from Lincoln’s association with the Republican Party, and the role he had on equal treatment for blacks during the Civil War (Boles pg. 570). Also, the term liberal is associated with the progressive party, which means looking forward. In contrast, the south was primarily Conservative Democratic, with the term conservative associated with being stuck in old ways of doing things. This implies that they did not agree upon the equal opportunities among blacks and whites, because they viewed blacks more as servants. This way of thinking stemmed from before the Civil War, when slavery was still in common practice. So, one of the main divisions between the two parties was the issue on race. Today the south is largely associated with the Conservative Republican platforms, and the north being associated with the Liberal Democratic platforms. The purpose of this paper is to explain how the South transitioned from this solidly Democratic region to one that is today largely recognized as solidly Republican, through the platforms of key politicians had on…
Zoos, aquariums and circuses have had a lot of controversy over their uses of animals in captivity. After SeaWorld announced they will not have any killer whales in their facility people reacted with a cheer and some with sadness. The documentary released in 2013 on CNN “Blackfish” has made people's decision to stop going to and not agree with the animals in captivity all the more easier. According to Lisa Lange, senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has said “Change is already happening around the world.” For example, she mentioned Mexico, Spain and the U.S. have banned things to do with the exploitation of animals, such as animal circuses, bull fighting and the bullhook for training elephants. For other…
Jodie and Mary, sisters from the island Gonzo, were conjoined at birth. Their spine was fused together and they shared the same heart and one set of lungs. Jodie was the stronger sister, as she was providing blood for Mary. Jodie and Mary’s parents, fervent Catholics, were determined to let the sisters stay conjoined. They fully believed that the girls are in the hands of God. Realizing the dire situation, the legal courts stepped in and fought for the girls to receive surgery. If the twins received surgery, Jodie would most likely survive, while Mary would almost definitely die. To continue, if the girls did not receive surgery to separate their limbs, they would both have a serious chance of fatality. The sisters would have around 3-6 months to live (Jones, 2001). Ultimately, there are two different ethical arguments. The argument for Jodie and Mary to receive the surgery to separate their limbs and the argument for the girls to be left alone and at the will of God.…
A multitude of different movies portrays Artificial Intelligence (AI) as something to be feared; an entity that would be the demise of humanity. Despite what these movies portray, it is up for dispute whether AI is a threat to humanity. AI is becoming more commonplace and more advanced everyday both in the real and virtual world. Multiple different AI entities have previously malfunctioned and caused issues. A multitude of groups of individuals feels that restrictions should be placed on AI entities, while others believe that AI poses no threat to any individual. Whether or not, AI is a threat is still up to question.…
One specific idea that I thought was intriguing during the Interactive Oral is on Day 2 when a person stated that the Kanun is everyone’s life force. They must follow it no matter what or else they will be deemed as an outsider and traitor to society. As I thought about the argument, I realized that the Kanun is not only a constitution that everyone must follow, but also a cruel act to civilize people by punishing the wrongdoers with blood feuds that can last for decades. It seems that the Kanun represents the society before where obedience and equality are valued and should be created but it’s a severe punishment that continues the feud and hatred. Due to this argument, I felt that the Kanun was unjust and uncalled for because it leads to…
