Yet another account, written less than a week later, from In the Muskoka Territory: The Fortunes and Misfortunes of a Party of Holleyites on a Canadian Canoeing and Fishing Expedition, New York Holley Standard July 24, 1902: The Standard last week abandoned a party of five Holley fishermen on the shores of Muskoka lake, leaving them in the throes of preparation for a week's canoeing trip, and with an implied promise of some further account of their adventures. A greener lot of tenderfeet never invaded Canadian wilds. Some had enjoyed camping and fishing in a comfortable civilized way, but none of them knew much of the character of the expedition they were planning......…

Sohrab was born into a life of war. His parents were murdered and he was put into an orphanage. There, he was sold and abused until Amir came to save him. And still, he thought he was in the wrong when he saved Amir from getting beaten to death. This situation was like a window to me because it showed me that there are different types of a child’s innocence. I thought that child innocence would be when they have no idea things like rape and abuse exists, but Sohrab’s innocence is the fact that he believes he’s in the wrong even though he was put in horrendous situations and he was protecting someone. He was thought to never hurt someone, even if they hurt you. He was put in situations no one should ever experience. It made me grateful for the situations I’m in today, but at the same time, it made me even sadder that there are children going through this…

3. Her "call to action" is to not give in and to make her childrens' world safe. She asks the audience to "set aside prejudice and politics to make room for compassion". She wants all children to feel safe in this world.…
In Ismael Beah’s A Long Way Gone, violence and child soldier’s struggles is a major and common point. These passages were heart wrenching and difficult to get through. Beah went through a lot of hard times but he survived and pulled through with incredible strength and courage, even when that was not an easy thing to even think about doing. I believe that even though violence is an awful thing that no child should have to endure, I learned a lot through Beah’s awful experiences including war’s injustices and the importance of hope and courage.…

Ultimately, this issue has an effect on many people for so long in a positive and negative way that it could be hard to persuade people who think what is happening to women in combat is unfair. Therefore, with the claims and support she made with her main points, McGregor could change people’s opinion on Women in Combat. Women in Combat by McGregor will hopefully persuade people in a way that allow them to help them change the…
a. In this short film, the relationship between six girls from opposing countries (Israel and Palestine) are trying to find peace in their “home of warfare”. After watching this trailer, viewers may figure out that people who are taught to be enemies with one another can still look past the bad and become friends. For example, one of the Palestinian girls, Inas quotes, “When I see the Jewish girls as individuals, I love them and all of them are my friends…we talk everyday, and we eat together, we dance together, and we see them always together. But when I remember that they are Jews, I have my feelings at the same time…because their…

The quality of global news coverage has decreased in the past ten years. Even the quantity of reported global crises has gone down. The issue in Darfur has been ongoing since 2003. Though global issues tend to be complex and may not have a foreseeable end or solution, they should not be ignored. More importantly, they should be reported accurately. Defining news is difficult. Deciding what news America would or wouldn’t prefer is difficult. Americans deserve access to whatever news interests them – whether that is the “greatest humanitarian crisis of the twenty-first century” in Darfur or the death of pop singer Michael Jackson (Christians). Is it not any reporter’s goal to truly enlighten its readers especially on such a controversial issue? Underlying this case is the principal of social justice that is often ignored. Is the news media at fault for not always providing “sufficient interpretations?” Or are they ethically sound only addressing little about the topic’s dynamic dimensions or even steering clear of complex conflicts altogether? In order to decide if news coverage in Darfur, for example, is ethically correct steps need to be considered. Defining the situation, addressing values, principles and loyalties will reveal what action news reporters should be taking. Utilizing the Potter Box to analyze the issue in Darfur proves that the issue is not presented in terms of justice but rather in the sensation of violence. I believe that social justice is the ethical principle behind this issue that the news media overlooks too easily, and reporters on this crisis should act on that principle.…
The two resources that I picked for my final journal are ‘Not In Our Town’ and the CNN article about Officer Elsokary in New York City. The reason why I picked “Not In Our Town” is because this article shows that people are sometimes really mean, rude and obnoxious, but it also shows that people are sometimes nice, caring, kind and supportive. The attacks and this story took place in Billings, Montana. The attacks were against people in the town who were Jewish. The reason why I picked the CNN article is because it shows that some people are rude to the people who are protecting the country that they are living in.…
"The State of Women 's Rights in the Middle East - The Takeaway." The Takeaway…
We are all taught right and wrong from a young age but as these women have shown sometimes you have to step out of the norm to gain what should be rightfully owned. Fair treatment was not automatically given to everyone and they fought until someone realized that. Also these women demonstrated that the use of nonviolence runs throughout history. There have been numerous instances of people courageously and nonviolently refusing cooperation with injustice. Power itself is not derived through violence, though in governmental form it is usually violent in nature. Governmental power is often maintained through oppression and the tacit compliance of the majority of the governed. Any significant withdrawal of that compliance will restrict or dissolve governmental control. Apathy in the face of injustice is a form of violence. Conflict and struggle are often necessary to correct injustice. Our struggle is not easy, and we must not think of nonviolence as a "safe" way to fight oppression. The strength of nonviolence comes from our willingness to take personal risk without threatening other people. It is essential that we separate the individual from the role she/he plays. The "enemy" is the system that casts people in oppressive roles.…
